" A Step Closer to You "

"Gift?"

Pagtatakang tanong ko sa kanya matapos kong makatanggap ng regalo. My eyes look at him and then to his gift he gave and look back to his face again.

"Treat it as my Anniversary gift."

Arzhel, who is sweating and still out of breath from running, gives me a set of oil paint art supply.

I invited him to go out for our 1st best friend anniversary, at first i thought na tatanggi siya at di sisipot. Napangiti ako sa kanya at saka nagpasalamat, nagalala pa ako dahil wala akong pang-exchange gift sa binigay niya.

"You don't need to, i just want to give you a gift. Seeing you happy makes me feel the way you feel." sagot nito

'....did i hear right? Or nag-dedelulu nanaman ako???'

Dear Dairy, it's been a year since
I became his friend. Do you think i can still
make him my lovely one, or I'll be grateful
for just what we have now?

Di ko namalayan na matagal na pala akong nakatitig sa kanya sa pagkabigla. I feel how hot my ears are. And am i having butterflies in my stomach?

"Where do you wanna go?" he asks me with a bright smile like he always does, and gently grabs my hand.

'Don't be Ante, hindi kayo naka holding hands tama na yang fantasy mind mo hindi ka Female Lead ng kwento...'

Habang naglalakad kami while we are close to each other. Parang nararamdaman kong kami lang dala ang naglalakad sa lugar at walang mga tao sa paligid. "I thought you won't come.."

Napatingin saakin si Arzhel at napangisi. "Why would I? Except for our best friend anniversary. I also want to spend more time with you"

Right..friend, i also have this occasion with my bffs Seline and Paula and yun din yung dahilan ko sa kanya para pumunta siya. It's far from a date..

I secretly have a deep sigh and i somewhat feel disappointment from what he said. Best Friend. "Well i didn't get to see you soon nung dumating ako sa meet up place. But i see you patiently waiting right on time sa loob ng Mall."

He laugh and say " Uhm..ako nga itong akala ko ikaw ang di sisipot, but atleast mas nauna ako sayo. Then you won't need to wait for me so long again."

'Yes naman humirit pa at ipinagmamalaki ang pagiging punctual niya~ iba rin~'

We decided to hang around first in the Mall. We go to a game zone and play arcades together. And i didn't expect that he also enjoys playing with it dahil sa pagkakaalam kong profile niya na Intelligent-Introverted siya.

Dear Diary, i was surprised to know
that we share some same
interest. He also loves
to play arcades and
viewing art galleries!

Nagpunta kami sa loob ng National Bookstore at tumingin-tingin sa mga displays nila. I secretly look at Arzhel who is reading and looking on Medical books station. Marahan akong lumapit sa kanya upang gulatin siya. I tiptoed and I slowly brought my face to his back.

"I expect you to be here looking on these books~"

I see his eyes gets wide when he looked back at me. I silently laugh so hard when i get to startled him. Nang di ko inakala na nagulat niya rin ako nang naramdaman kong nilapit niya ang bibig niya sa likurang tenga ko.

"Paparazzi really know what i like. However, I'm always curious about what she also likes."

Nabigla ako na napaharap sa kanya and i see ourselves almost kissed. We are so close to each other that i clearly see his attractive stone blue eyes slowly look straight into me.
