Say You'll Never Go

Chapter one

BEFORE

       'I tread water on the surface under the wide, open sky, and the sun and all that blue, which remind me of theodore finch, just like everything else reminds me of him, and I think of my own epitaph, still to be written, and all the places I'll wander. No longer rooted, but gold, flowing. I feel a thousand capacities spring up in me'

        And for the 6th time, I finished it again. One of my all time favorite book.

"Hey Calvin!"

       This book is amazing and wonderful, that's why it became one of my favorites.

"Calvin!" Bumalik ako sa realidad ng sumigaw si Anne, Ate kong bungangera hahaha.

"You have a date right?" She asked.

"Yeah" I said, while putting back the book I just finished on my bookshelf.

"E bakit ayaw mo pang kumilos? Dalian mo wag mong pag-intayin si love! Ayieee" she said while doing a playful tone on the word Love.

"Ate, It's only 2:45 in the afternoon, our date is at 7pm and besides, give me a break I just got here" well, that's the truth. Kakauwe ko lang from school, and when I got home tinapos ko lang basahin yung book, again.

"Okay, ikaw bahala" then she walked out of my room.

       Don't get me wrong, of course I want to see Chloe. We haven't had a date since last month due to school works and final exams.

       So now that schooling is done, we're free to do what we want.

       I badly want to see Chloe right now but it would be great if I save it for later.

      Lumabas ako sa kwarto ko at dumiretso sa sala. I feel like I want to compose a new song so I tried.

      I open the cover of the piano and sat down, thinking very hard what song to compose.

      I need inspiration so I think of her. I think every single detail of our journey as a couple. I think the happy and sad times we had. I think every single piece of her, and then I play.

......

      I took a bath and get ready for tonights event. I chose the best suit to wear. I settle for a white longsleeve shirt and a navy blue jeans. I sprayed her favorite perfume of mine all over my body. She loves it when I smell good, I think every girl does.

      I get my car keys then open the garage. I'm going to fetch her in their house so I need to be there early. I turn on the radio and just in time, it's a story about love.

      Just in an instant, Naalala ko yung mga araw na crush na crush ko lang siya, yung sobrang patay na patay ako sakanya. And look, now that we just finished schooling and just waiting for our graduation ceremony and our diplomas, I just can't wait to marry her. I just can't wait.

      She didn't have any idea that I'm going to ask her about marrying me, I know that she'll say Yes and I will be the happiest man on earth. But, not tonight. Of course, pagkatapos na namin makuha ang mga diploma namin at maka graduate formally.

       Hindi ko alam kung anong iisipin niya, kung anong nasa isip niya. Girls will always be girls, sobrang hirap nilang intindihin. Madalas, pabago-bago ng desisyon, in-short magulo sila.

I remember one freakin' time.

Flashback

       I woke up in the middle of the night because my phone was vibrating.
