A Reader's Own Love Story

Chapter 9

Nandito kami ngayon ni Drake sa condo niya. Naisipan lang naming tumambay dito since Christmas break na. Hindi ko pa pala nasasabi sa kanya na sa London kami mag cecelebrate ng christmas.

I dont know if he has plans or what. We haven't talk about it yet. Maybe i'll just tell him later.

While watching netflix I decided to asked him about his plans.

"Love, do you have plans on christmas?" I asked him. He turned his gaze to me before answering.

"Ah yes. I forgot to tell you. Mag cecelebrate kami ng family ko ng christmas sa US. But we'll be back on new year."

"Same here. We're going to London but we'll be back on new year too. So I guess we'll just call each other."

Today is Dec. 20 flight na namin tomorrow.
Wala na kaming time ni Drake para magkita dahil busy ako sa pag aayos ng gamit. Dec. 22 kasi ang flight nila.
Dahil sa wala nga kaming time naka videocall nalang kami halos buong maghapon.

Nakarating kami sa London bandang 3pm. Agad kaming sinalubong ng relatives namin. Si auntie Isabelle naman ay hinatid ako sa tutuluyan kong kwarto. Nagpahinga ako after kong ayusin lahat ng gamit ko. My mom called me to eat dinner but I refuse. I decided to sleep dahil napagod ako sa byahe.

The next day tinawagan ako ni Drake. Nasa US na din sila. We didnt talk that much dahil alam kong pagod siya.

"Merry Christmas Love." Agad na bati ko kay Drake pag kasagot na pag kasagot niya sa tawag ko.

" Tsk. Excited much? Its just 11:45 Love. Anyway, Merry Christmas din." He greeted back and gave me a smile. "Tell tita and tito that I said Merry Christmas. Sa new year ko nalang ibibigay ang gifts niyo."

"Okay then. Tell your parents too. Sa new year nalang din ang gify namin. I got to go now. Dad's calling me."

After the call ay bumaba na ako. Everyone was there already. Waiting for Christmas to arrived. Nakisama ako sa mga pinsan ko. As usual sila Hattie lang ang sinamahan ko. Im not close to my other cousins.

Nag grill kami ng barbecue, nag luto ng ibat ibang putahe for the noche buena ,sinet up din namin yung table.

Everyone was gathered on the table. Aunt Danica lead the prayer for us. Thanking for all the blessings.

"Hi. How was your flight?" He said after answering the call.

"Im tired. I just woke up thou. How are you? We've been very busy."

"Im fine. Kakarating lang din namin. You should rest again. See you on new years eve. I love you."

"See you. I love you too. Bye." And the he hang up.
