Unforgettable

One

Aga and Lea have been together for five years now. High school sweethearts, bound to last forever, everybody says. They will just laugh whenever people tell them that. They were secured about their relationship, and they were just happy together.

Lea was preparing to go out. It was 7 pm, and she was sure that her boyfriend was already on his way.

" Anak, andito na 'yung sundo mo! " Lea heard her mom shout from downstairs. 

" Opo, ma. Pababa na po! " she answered, as she continued to shove all of my stuff inside my bag. She was almost outside the door when she realized that her bracelet was missing. Lea muttered a curse as she eyed her room, trying to remember where it was. 

She was busy looking under my bed when she heard a knock. " Babes, you there? " 

Shoot! That's Aga! " Yes, babes. Wait lang, please. " Lea replied, lying. She looked around again, thinking that the bracelet couldn't have been outside this room. " Just fixing my bag! " she added, just in case Aga was wondering what's taking her so long.

" Okay, antayin na lang kita sa baba ha? " 

She answered with a quick 'yes', then went back to searching for the bracelet. She was already losing hope when she remembered that they stayed in the guest room yesterday. 

Dashing, she ran to the door, not aware that Aga was still there. Not until she landed on top of him.

" Oh babes, what's the rush? " he asked, smiling. His gaze moved downwards, until it landed on her cleavage. " Is it just me, or is it extra hot this morning? " He grinned, then raised his eyebrows. " Or ikaw 'yung hot? "

She slapped his cheek in a teasing way. " Manyak mo. Ang aga aga. " 

She was about to stand up when he held her arm. " Where are you going? " 

" Male-late na tayo, babes. Wag ka na makulit, please. " 

She tried to stand up again, and he let her. His touch went from her arm to her wrist, and when she tried to remove his hand, that's when Aga realized that she wasn't wearing her bracelet.

" Where is your bracelet? " he asked in a serious tone. " Akala ko ba hindi mo 'yun hinuhubad? " 

" I don't! " she exclaimed. " Last night lang, when we stayed in the guest room because of umm... stuff. " 

He lifted her chin, making her stare at his eyes. " Are you sure you didn't remove it for other reasons? " 

She didn't like it when Aga was serious. Not because he was scary, but because she found him incredibly hot when he's not fooling around.

" Why would I do that, babes? You know how important it is to me, right? " 

That bracelet was his gift to her during their first monthsary. As childish as it sounds, she took care of that bracelet better than anything else she owned. For Lea, it was the symbol of Aga's love.

It was their grad ball, and Lea was getting bored. Her boyfriend and date, Aga, was just sitting beside her, watching the other couples on the dance floor. 

" Wala ka man lang bang balak isayaw ako? " she mumbled, pouting. He shrugged. His nonchalance irritated Lea, so she stood up. " Kung ayaw mo, maghahanap na lang ako ng iba! "
