3 hour bus ride romance (One shot)

The Start

Ganito kasi yun..

Oops wait, pakilala muna ako. I am Celestine Angela, 17 years old, a 2ndyear college student taking BS Accountancy.

Simple girl lang ako.

Like every other girls in school, wala akong boyfriend pero may maraming crush.

Ako ay Romantic type na person. Nagbabasa ng ebook, at nagbabasa ng romance stories sa wattpad.

Active din ako sa facebook and updated din ako sa mga buhay ng crushes ko.

Di rin mahilig gumala, pero nakikiJam din together with my friends.

Mayroon akong active social life, active student life pero may matamlay na love life.

Ganyan ako.

Back to the story, I was on my way to my school, Central Mindanao University (CMU) from my 5-day vacation galing sa bahay.

Foundation kasi ng University namin kaya wala munang pasok pansamantala.

I was traveling alone.  (insert sad face here)

May dalang packbag at mga accounting na libro. Pinag-aralan ko kasi ang mga ito at baka salubungin kami ng matinding Exam pagbalik sa klase. Ayoko namang masabihang pabaya sa studies, so ayon nga -- dala ko ang 3 librong mabibigat.

Medyo mabigat kaunti ang dala-dala ko.

Pero ok lang, kaya ko naman.

Pasado ala-una ng hapon, nakaabot na ako sa Cagayan Bus Terminal.

I stopped by for a moment sa Goldilocks store sa may kanto para bumili ng paboritong Polvoron ng mga kaibigan ko.

Pasalabong daw kasi.

Pagkatapos nun, mupili na ako ng sasakyan kong bus. I took the bus bound to Davao City, and pay my ticket charged to CMU,Maramag, Bukidnon. Di pa marami ang nakasakay nun, so I chose to seat near the window at the right row of the bus seats.

So ayun na nga, completely vacant ang seat sa tabi ko since nagtatravel ako mag-isa.

Habang naghihintay pa ang bus ng ibang pasahero, heto naman ako't nagmamasid sa mga tao.

Ang iba may dalang malalaking bag, may taong nagbubuhat ng bagahe, sa may tabi ay mga batang nanlilimos, may matatanda, may bata. Iba't-ibang mga tao ang nandun sa terminal.

All seemed to be busy in their own lives.

All are strangers with one another.

Tapos, pagkatapos nun, someone took the attention of my eyes. There was this boy. I saw “him”, he’s cool, he's tall, may hitsura, student ang dating ang he is still paying at the ticketing booth.

I can't take off my eyes on him.

He beguiled me.

He is wearing red shirt, black pants, cool black shoes, gray socks and was bringing blue packbag.

On my mind : I was hoping (konti lang naman) that he will choose to sit beside me. Silly me.

Bigla-bigla na lang nagshi-shift ang isip ko kagaya ng mga nangyayari sa movies -- na may makakatabi ka sa bus.

Be friend. Talk. Laugh.

Things like that.

When he entered the bus, I let my eye follow him. Slighty sneaking until where should “that guy” will sit. Nakita ko siya doon sa may front ng bus, he is approaching someone.

May tinatanong siguro sya.

So I guess doon na siya uupo.

(aww.ok lang)

I bowed my head. Not anymore curious about him -- knowing that he will sit far from me though.

I was combing my hair while facing at the window, and then braid it.

Suddenly.. I heard a voice of someone?
