Graduation

"Nasaan si Stannie?"tanong ko habang naglalakad kami sa gilid ng pool.Walang tao dito kaya nagkaroon ako ng lakas ng loob na magtanong matapos niya akong dalhin dito.

Bumaling siya sa akin na may pagtataka at kunot noo.

" Who's Stannie?"

"Girlfriend mo." agap ko habang di tumitingin sa kanya.

"I dont know her." he said cautiously.

"I think I was wrong.Where's Lillie?" I ask after telling stannie.

"Who is Lillie?" Napatigil na ito sa paglalakad at hinarap na ako ng mapagbantang titig.

"Y-your girlfriend."

"I don't have girlfriend. I told it to you already.And who's name are you talking about?" He ask in a deep voice.

"Sorry.I think it was your girlfriend." Nakaramdam na ako ng takot kaya tumahimik na ako.I shook my head and stayed quiet as we reach the end of the pool.

Hinarap niya na ako ng tuluyan kaya tumalikod ako at humarap nasa pool.
Naramdaman ko ang yakap niya sa likodan ko kaya bahagya akong nagulat.He leaned to my shoulder and hugged me softly.

"Stop thinking about other girls.Because I am inlove with someone."

I feel nervous to his softvoice whispering behind my ear.

"I was...... inlove to that someone......until now." he whisper again.

Ano itong naririnig ko?Inlove kanino?Bakit niya ako niyayakap kung inlove siya sa iba.Elise naman!

"So why are you hugging me if you inlove with someone."I teased.

"I like you Elise----Victoria."he whisper at my ear.

I feel his small kisses to my neck and ear.

"I hate how you avoid my love for you back then.I want you to know that I am so in love with you." He said in sullen voice.

I stayed quiet for a moment before I started to stuttered a words.

"Your in love to me?Am I being deaf in the words you said?"I said as he's still wrapping his arms around me.

"No.Baby your right.I like you.And I can't let anyone to come closer to you as if it was me."

Iniharap niya ako at tinitigan sa mga Mata hanggang bumaba ang tingin nito sa mga labi ko.I feel his stares to my lips until I found out he slowly kissing me.I close my eyes and respond to his kisses.I feel my knee was so jelly until I felt his arms support at my back to make me stand still.

I run for my breath and distance.He's hand was still wrapped around to my waist.William lifted my chin up.

"I love you."

Is this real?Gosh!His so handsome!Am I dreaming.

"C-can you pinch me?" I ask nervously.

He look at me straightly and shake his head.

"I won't hurt you baby."

I nodded and blushed.

"No man will get you from me because I am so thirsty for confessing this damn love I was hiding."

I chuckled and look at his gentle eyes.

"W-why did you not tell me?"my nervous disappears fastly after he confess his feelings to me.

"TSS...Are you challenging me.Damn why I am nervous."nagiwas ito ng mukha at natawa sa sarili.

"Lately you told me you was in love to me.So what's the matter if I ask you.Its not a challenge mister. Its a question." Bahagya ko pang diniinan ang huling salita para matawa ito.

"I am afraid to be rejected to a gorgeous women I am In love with."

Do I need to tell him too that I was in love with him also?
Right man always have a right words.
But his words are not just a lie I think it was right.I need to tell him also.

"I-I like you....William." I nervously ask and shook my head.Grabe ganito ba ang pakiramdam ng in love!

I want to hear his answer but he remain silently staring at me with smirked.

"Can you repeat it baby? I want to heard." He commanded slowly.

"I l-like you..William." I repeated.

He smirked again and find my lips again.

"I want to be you girlfriend." I said between our kisses.

He stop kissing me and run to his breath beforing answering me with gentle looks.

"I think I am the one who will be the one to ask you that.Sure.I want you to be my girl baby."

Matapos ang party kagabi si William na ang naghatid sa akin sa bahay.Thanks.My parents are already resting.

"Goodnight.Text me when you already at home." I said after unfastening my seatbelt to his car.

"Aye aye captain."he said with fooling voice.

" Asshole!"I laughed.I open the door behind to me but William grabbed my nape and kiss me beforing letting me go.

"Goodnight kiss." He said before releasing me to out in his car.

Hindi ko alam kung among oras na ako nakatulog sa pagiintay na magtext sa akin si William.

William:

I am home safely.Love you.

Me:

Love you too.Sleeptight.

Pagkaakyat ko sa kwarto ko at ay napasalampak agad ako rito at nagsisipa na parang bata sa kilig.

Had this day was meant for me?He said he was inlove to me back then.Matagal niya na along gusto!Pero bat di ko Alan?Hay!

I took shower and blow dry it after taking a bath.A was fast asleep.

Araw na nagpagkilala sa aming Unibersidad.Tinext ko si William na pumunta.

William:

I'll be there baby.

I have prepared my speech and share it to my co-graduates.Faces that is so hard to paint.Feelings filled with different emotions. This must be the start of their journey.I shake my head in happiness and
wiped my tears.

"Congratulation may my words serve as your motivation to what up's and down you will face in your life.Thank you and again Congratulations!" clap of applause filled the whole hall.

College student's unison throw their hat in the air.Shouting their success words in life.

Someone deserve this education success.We have walk in the same path but at the end we still have to turn to other way to start building our very own.
