Love Is Greater Than Any Spell

XXVI: Continuing to love you

Nagsimula na ang klase pero hindi ako makaconcentrate. Hindi na ako nakikinig sa discussion kaya ilang beses akong sinisita ng professor namin mabuti nalang at hindi niya sinasabi yung ginagawa kong pagtitig kay Rainier napansin yata ni Rainier ang kakatitig ko sa kanya kaya lumingon siya sa akin.

"May problema ba Sara?"

Namula ako at agad na inilayo ang tingin ko sa kanya hindi pa rin ako makatingin sa hiya at parang naputulan ako ng dila dahil hindi ko magawang sagutin ang tanong niya.

Natapos na ang first quarter exam namin. It was indeed a torture but it's because of him that I exerted so much effort. I am very happy that we both made it to the dean's list!

I know love is intertwined with pain. If there isn't any pain you're feeling at the moment, then that only means you should prepare for a very painful one that is coming. That's what I've learned from loving Frey. I know Rainier has someone whom he loves too. Maybe fate, made me fall in love with him to learn something from loving him too.

I am currently headed to the gymnasium. All of us are required to attend the program being held there. Habang naglalakad ako patungo doon biglang linagpasan ako ng isang lalaki. Si Rainier, at mukhang nagmamadali siya.

Tinawag ko siya. Tumigil naman siya at agad ko siyang nilapitan.

"Bakit ka nagmamadali? Mamaya pa naman magsisimula yung program?"

"May performance kasi kaming mga miyembro ng XLR8. Hindi ko pa gaano kabisado ang steps kaya kailangan kong magmadali."

I placed my hand over my heart. 

"Good luck Rainier. I know you can do it."

He flipped his hair and gave me a thumbs up before heading towards the gymnasium.

I wasn't planning to go to the gymnasium anytime soon but went the crowd got going and their screams can be heard from where I am standing, I hurriedly went to the gymnasium to know what's going on. I sat next to the stage so that I could watch the performance with ease. Hindi ko inaasahan na sa program na 'to maririnig ko muli ang boses niya.

"Presenting the XLR8!"

Oh my! I'm finally getting to see the group where Rainier is a member of! The XLR8! I have heard about them for countless times but forget about that for now because of that voice. I'd recognize it anywhere. I know she's the one talking right now.

Patuloy kong pinakinggan ang boses ng nagsasalita habang pinapakilala nito ang mga miyembro.

Dito rin pala nag-aaral si Milich! Tuwang-tuwa nang makita siyang umakyat sa stage. Inabot sa kanya ng microphone.

"Lahat raw ng lalaki manloloko? Hayaan mong ipakita ko sa'yo na mali ang paniniwala mo."

Nagtilian ang mga babae kay Milich. Napansin kong marami ding hawak-hawak na banner ang mga babae. Ibang klase talaga si Milich!
