CHAPTER 41

ANDY'S POV

Pabalik na kami sa hotel, the farewell ceremony was fun but sad that another assembly has ended.

Yuri: Guys do you wanna walk to the hotel rather than using the tricycle?
Dawn: The night sky is beautiful, let's do it.

While we're walking the girls are in front and us boys are in the back.

Bryle: The girls are really loud when they are together.
Sam: And our manliligaw here is just here rather than beside he's girl.
Ako: Ayan na naman kyo, I'm happy for bielle being like that.
Gen: Asus, boys let's help andy. You know what I mean.
Boys: Okay! Hahaha.

The boys scramble the girls, lumapit sa akin si bielle.

Bryx: Hey.
Ako: Hey.

I hold her hand while walking.

Bryx: The night sky is beautiful tonight.
Ako: Yes, it's really beautiful.

I was looking at her then she look at me, umiwas ako ng tingin and scratch my backhead.

Bryx: Hahaha your so cute when your doing that.
Ako: Ah eh use this, nilalamig ka.
Bryx: Thanks.
Ako: One sem to go and your graduating.
Bryx: Yeah.
Ako: Any plans after you graduate?
Bryx: I don't know.
Ako: Still thinking about it?
Bryx: Andy I'm nervous in my thesis.
Ako: Why? Bielle being nervous is normal especially to us arki because it's in our blood but we never gave up when we're nervous.
Bryx: Your right.

We stop walking, humarap ako sa kanya. I touch both of her hands.

Ako: You can do it, I know you can. I'll always be here by your side no matter what happens.
Bryx: Promise?
Ako: Diba promises are meant to be broken?
Bryx: Yes but I still want you to promise.
Ako: Ok I promise.
???: EHEM.
Ned: Both of you might wanna walk faster.
Gen: Naglalambingan pa eh.
Ako: Inggit lang kyo.
Boys: Feeling!!! Hahaha.

Nag-aasaran habang naglalakad ang trip ng boys.

FF. Nasa front door na kami ng room nila.

Bryx: Can I sleep with you tonight?
Ako: Why? You don't want to sleep with the girls?
Bryx: Nope, come inside. Mag-shower lang ako.

Pumasok na kami.

Girls: Hi andy.
Ako: Hi girls.
Lyra: Waiting for bryx?
Ako: Yes.
Bryx: Let's go.
Ako: Ang bilis mo naman.
Bryx: Ganun talaga, so girls goodnight.
Ako: Hep-hep, you forgot something.
Bryx: What?
Ako: Wear a jacket, it's cold outside.
Dawn: Here's your jacket bryx.
Bryx: Thanks dawn. So pwede na ba tyo umalis?
Ako: Yup, sige girls ibabalik ko din si bielle bukas.
Irene: Kahit wag na andy haha.
Lyra: Kahit syo na habang buhay haha.
Bryx: Oy!
Ako: Hahaha ok girls goodnight.

Pumunta na kami sa condo building namin na katabi ng hotel. Pagdating namin sa unit ko, nakatayo lang sya sa door.

Ako: Are you ok?
Bryx: Wow, are you alone here?
Ako: Yes, but sometimes the gang hangouts here to do homeworks, plates or sleep.
Bryx: Your like a family here.
Ako: They are my 2nd family, so are you sleepy? Let's go to my bedroom, you'll sleep there.
Bryx: Why don't we just sleep in here? In your living room.
Ako: Ok I'll just fix the sofa, feel free to look around my unit.

Habang inaayos ko yung sofa, I sense na she's looking around my unit.

Bryx: Your unit is so beautiful.
Ako: Can you help me with the pillows? Thanks. Mahiga kana, mag-shower lang ako.

Pagkatapos ko mag-shower, I see na nakatulog na sya holding her phone. Kinuha ko yung phone nya ng aksidente ko napindot, I smiled kasi it was the picture of us in the 1st district assembly when she was riding in my back. While she's sleeping, I took a picture of her in my phone and in her phone.

Ako: I though taking the risk is wrong but now I see to never always doubt that taking risk is wrong.

Humiga na ako sa tabi nya, she hug me. I looked at her then I kissed her forehead.

Ako: Bielle I love you so much.

The next day. I woke up, nobody was beside me.

Ako: Bielle?
Bryx: I'm in here.

She's in the balcony.

Bryx: You have a great view in here.

I closed my eyes to feel the fresh morning wind.

Ako: Uuwi na pala kyo.
Bryx: Oo nga.
Ako: Wait for me here, maligo lang ako.

Pagkatapos ko maligo, nasa living room sya. Looking at my childhood pictures.

Ako: Tara ihatid na kita sa hotel nyo.
Bryx: Andy mag-damit ka nga. (Bigla sya tumalikod)
Ako: My t-shirt is beside you.
Bryx: Here.
Ako: Thanks, naka t-shirt na po ako.
Bryx: Good, tara.

Pagbalik namin sa hotel room nila naka-ayos na pala gamit nya.

Ako: Goodmorning girls.
Dawn: Diba sabi namin wag mo na sya ibalik?
Bryx: Hoy! I heard that.
Ako: Hahaha wag nyo na sya asarin, sige girls I'll be back. I'll see you nalang mamaya.

Umalis ako para bumili ng breakfast nya. Pagbalik ko nag-lalagay na sila ng gamit sa bus nila.

Lalah: Where have you been?
Ako: Just bought food for her. Sige po unnie.

Pagkalapit ko sa kila bielle, sinuntok nya ako.

Ako: Aray! What was that for?
Bryle: Hindi ka daw nagpaalam sa kanya.
Brent: Bigla ka daw umalis.
Ako: Aray! (Sinuntok ulit ako)
Gen: Bryx tama na yan.
Bryx: Pabigla-bigla kasi umaalis yung guy dyan ng hindi nagpapaalam.
Dawn: Namiss ka nya agad andy.
Ako: Hindi mo na ako mamimiss kasi nasa puso mo na ako at dati na akong na syo bielle. (Smile)
All: Ehem hahaha ayyiee.
Mark: Hephep tama na, pumasok na kyo sa bus at  pabayaan nyo na sila.
All: Ok po.

Pumasok na sila sa bus, I looked at her.

Ako: What? Ang talim ng tingin mo sa akin.
Bryx: Where have you been?
Ako: Just bought something po, I told the girls that I'll come back.
Bryx: Ok, so what did you bought?
Ako: Food for you, you haven't had breakfast.
Bryx: Ah eh thanks, sorry sinuntok kita.
Ako: It's ok, so ready to go home?
Bryx: Yeah, andy thank you for this wonderful district assembly. (Sabay hug)
Ako: Your always welcome. (Smile)

We hug for a minute tapos tinawag na sya ni kuya mark.

Bryx: Goodbye andy.
Ako: Goodbye, ingat sa pag-uwi. Call me when you got home, ok? I love you. (Smile)
Bryx: Ok po, I know. (Smile)

I hug her again then she went to their bus. I looked at their bus while it's leaving.

Sam: Distance also makes the simplest things the sweetest. Just like andy and bryx.
John: Hindi pa sila pero look at them when their together.
Ned: Andy let's go back to the campus. Andy? Hey is something wrong?
Ako: Nothing, let's go to the campus guys.
