SERVIETTE

two

I just passed your station I texted

Really?? Why didn't you tell me before. I was at station to drop my friend he replied

my heart skipped a beat.
Its been awhile since I last met you. How could I let go of this moment?

Stay right there then. I'll get down in next station and catch a bus back to meet you. I want to see you. I texted back.

Dear, don't do that. Didn't you say you got prep exam in the noon? Go and study in your dorm. You already wasted time being at home. A chiding reply pinged in my cellphone.

I turned stubborn. Damnit I love you, how can I just pass by when Im dying to see you.

No I've already got down. Be there. I donno. I want to see you. I retorted.

Gosh what has got onto me. I got down from bus atleast 10kms away from the last stop. Crossed the road. Lucky, should I say? Because I got a return bus.

I got a call.

"Dear, don't do this. You're exam is more important-"

"I already boarded the bus darling, 10mins I'll see you. Be there hm" I cut him off mid-way.

"Fine dear. You're so childish" he replied

"Just for you" I said and dropped the call.

It was drizzling. I got down from the transport vehicle when I reached the exact station. Searching for you in the sea of bustling people.

It was late morning, but the weather was so dull with the pitter-patter rain and heavy cloud, but it didn't ruin my mood because I got the sight of my beloved one walking towards me.
In other words it was too much of romantic than gloomy.

Dripping wet from the rain.
With just a hoodie and shorts.
Wow.
I wanted to hug then and there.
Make you say that we are still together.

Say that I'm yours.

My face literally brightened when you agreed to meet me.

"How can you be so stubborn?" He asked

I want to hear more of that husky voice with BGM of pitter-pattering rain.

I smiled like a fool I am.

"Dear, how can you act so foolishly?" He continued, "you got prep exams right?" I nodded

"Did you even study?" He's persistent

I nodded, I want to just live like this, I don't care if I don't have roof over my head, I just want to stay close to him.

"Are you even listening to me?"

I look into his eyes, those brown eyes, ah so captivating.

"You're so silly" he's talkative, I swear, of all people I only love to hear his bantering.

"You're going to report me your score in this exam, I'm not hearing otherwise, how can you neglect your studies? This not the Ana I know of"

I sighed, he knows how to keep me on line. Trust me, I don't give a damn shit if it was anyone else.

"I promise"

"Good girl" that dimple smile

Ugh.

"Now board this bus and attend your exams, don't be a baby and runaway, your an adult already"

I pout, I really want to seal his fire spouting lips with mine. But I know he'll lecture me for another hour for being a mushy girl. Ugh why it's so hard to wrap him around my little finger, when I'm all this submissive to him.

I pout and give him puppy eyes with simmering tears in the edge, who wants to be acknowledged right away for some lovey-dovey from my man.

"Be safe alright, call me after your done with exams" he continued, rolling his eyes overlooking my state.

I sniffed.

"Ah" hugging me sideways, he retorted, "your a good friend, don't act like this, attend your exams, I want you to top the class"

My brain short circuited on hearing "good friend"

I felt a slight push on my back

Everything was in haze...

By the time I turned back to look at the person I love the most in this world he was waving at me and drifting away from me.

I felt a slight poke on my right, I turned to the source, rounded eyes filled with concern voiced out
"Are you alright? Why you're crying?"

Command accepted, my brain processed.
"Your a good friend, don't act like this, attend your exams, top the class"

He didn't even bother for "'my' good friend"

My being was on AUTOPILOT.
