PART 25

HIS POV (Listen to Just The Way You Are for feels)

Four months.

It's been four months since the world turned up side and down. Parang dati, halos si Emily ang palaging pumupunta sa akin ngunit ngayon? Bumaliktad ang mundo.

I'm the one who goes for her.

I'm staring at Emily for already thirty minutes because she's been looking for a great movie. I kept suggesting Nicholas Sparks' movies but she kept finding some tragic and horror movies.

I took her notebook and saw the number 4.

4. Movie marathon. Watch 10 movies.

"There you go!" she exclaimed while giggling like a kid.

"What movie is that?" Napatingin ako sa screen at napakunot ang noo.

"You invited me here... just to watch minions?" She nodded. Napakamot na lamang ako habang nagsisimula na ang palabas.

Why am I even here watching Despicable Me 3 with her? I should have been watching action movies in my house. Damn it.

"They look so cute." she said that made me turned my gaze into her.

The amazement in her eyes whenever the yellow creatures are talking was worth capturing. The smile in her face when the little minions started to talk was irreplaceable.

I took my phone and supposed to take a picture of her when she blocked her face while taking my phone away from me.

"I don't like the idea of being captured."

"Why?"

"I'm not beautiful. I'm not confident of myself. As much as I want to be photographed, my face can't afford that." I sighed. I stared at her eyes and started to whisper at her ears.

"You know, in the eyes of someone who truly sees the beauty in you... you're already gorgeous... no matter how many people told you that you are not."

"Thanks... but put your phone down." she replied while smiling.

"The bossy Emily."

"I-I don't like the idea of being with someone who focuses on taking cute and silly pictures with me. I mean, for what? We have a mind. Our mind is enough to capture every moment with someone important to us."

"It helps a lot because if you want to remember a moment, you can look at the pictures. You can still reminisce that moment.

"Travis, if you can't remember something then maybe it isn't worth remembering?" She smiled that made me stared at her.

"Don't capture our moment together using a camera, use this...." She pointed my eyes.

"And this." Pointing my heart.

"Trust me, you won't forget me if you put me there. No matter how many cameras you use to capture me, it's still worthless because you can just remember one person if you never abandoned them in your heart." She pointed my heart.

"Learn to live in the moment." She began to watch again.

"But what if I forget you... when I get old?"
