"If tomorrow comes and I forget about this, and I forget about you, will you still love me?"
Yesterday. Love. Nothing else matters to Lee Gabriel than Odyssey Lee. If love was a manifestation, iyon ay ang pag-ibig ni Lee. At unti-unti rin yong naram...

Kung tutuusin, pwede naman silang manood ng episodes ng Fairy Tail sa mga internet cafes. Lalo na doon sa isang dating pinagtatrabahuhan ni Odyssey, pero alam ni Lee na nagtitipid ito para makapaghanda ng medyo maayos na early Noche Buena para sa kanilang tatlo mamaya.
"Okay lang ba?" Tanong ni Lee nang umupo sila sa labas ng eskaparate ng tindahan ng appliances. Kaharap nila ang napakaraming telebisyon. The truth is, she didn't want to probe him anymore knowing his pride when it comes to finances.
She knows her boyfriend is often offended by conversations about money especially when someone questions his capability to provide for her, o kahit 'yung mga simpleng pagkukumpara lang sa yaman niya at sa pagiging self-sufficient nito at a very young age.
"Oo naman." Sagot ni Odi habang inilalabas ang universal remote control.
Pero nahihiya si Lee sa ginagawa nila. Dahil lang sa kagustuhang manood, they are freeloading in front of the TVs for sale and acting like it's a movie theater. Pero kahit nahihiya, idinaan na lang ni Lee ang lahat sa tawa lalo na nang inilipat na ni Odi ang channel kung saan ito ipinapalabas.
And she was also glad that at least, Odi is not anymore as conscious of his scrimping towards her. She is now able to witness how wise he is in terms of handling his little money in order for him and his brother to stay afloat.
Kapag may mga sobra nga, nakakapag-date pa sila!
She realized that living was actually just surfing through the waves of life. Kesa magreklamo na walang telebisyon o pambayad ng internet cafe to stream, her Odyssey was able to deal the things he wants.
Pagtapos nilang manood, Odi took her to the grocery para nga sa pamimili.
"Pasta a la pobre." Odyssey whispered in a mock Italian accent habang kumukuha ng pasta, tuna, at tuyo.
Natatawa na lang din si Lee as they pretend to get ingredients for a formal dining kahit ang totoo, sobrang mura lang ng mga iluluto nila.
Nang magbabayad na, Odi wrapped his arms around Lee and kissed her on the cheek.
"Huy..." Suway ni Lee. Makulit na naman ito kahit nasa public place sila! Lee knew that they were the textbook example of the young couples the boomers are spiting against. Bata pa pero kung makapaglampungan sa labas akala mo mag-asawa na.
Odyssey wasn't usually like this. If anything, he would take her to a deserted place just like what he always does in school— That naughty boy!
Pero iba ngayon. He even whispers onto her ear.
"Buti hindi kayo umalis ngayong Christmas Vacation. I miss you already and I love that you're here."
"Hindi ko rin alam eh." Lee took this opportunity to pry Odi's hands away at humarap dito. "Naka-sched na 'yung European tour sana namin tapos cancel daw. Kainis." She feigned disappointment.
