Kahit Kunwari

19

My relationship with Ej was the relationship I dreamt my whole life. I am treated the way I wanted to be treated. He spoils me with his time, attention, love and care. Sabi nga ni Kyrsten,sana all.

I woke up because of a call. It's almost holiday season. Wala na rin kaming pasok. It was true that our whole 3rd year was a bit easier and that scares me. I slowly opened my eyes and reached for my cellphone. I lazily answered it and close my eyes again, my bed seems pulling me back to sleep.

"Good morning my sunshine. Happy anniversary! I love you always." My man said on the other line. I quickly opened my eyes and sat. Oh my God! It's our anniversary! Kagabi pa man ay iniisip ko na kung anong magiging way of celebration ang mangyayari ngayong araw pero ito at antok na antok ako. Shit!

Sa sobrang consistent ni Ej, hindi ko na namalayan na ganito na kami katagal. I mean who would have thought, right? I just met him outside the university, he returned my handkerchief when we were on a convenient store, we had our first date in grocery, and here we are now.

This man never failed to amaze me. He literally saves me everytime. He always reminds me of my meals, noon kasi I don't really have the proper time for the meal whenever I'm in school. Ngayon, palagi siyang may texts to remind me to eat. Feeling ko tumataba tuloy ako.

"Baby! Good morning, happy anniversary. I love you more!" I exclaimed. Okay, I am not that excited.

I heard his laugh. Even his laugh makes my day. I quickly stood up and see my reflection on the vanity mirror beside my bed. I look fresh, maybe because I'm already with the right person. I smiled.

"Fix yourself, Princess. And the buddies will be there later except for Caleb. Do the things they will tell you to do, aight?" He said.

He loves to surprise me. I looked at the scrap book I made. I made it almost for a month. I wanted it to be perfect. It contains our pictures and even the slightest details of us.

I smiled. Sobrang swerte ko. I cannot ask more for anything. I agreed to what he said. I need to fix myself. But I want to know if there's a dress code.

"Aw, you're making me cry first thing in the morning. Are you even real? Anyway, is there a dress code or what?" He chuckled so I did too. Ang baliw naman kasi ng tanong ko.

"Anything you want to wear baby. In an hour they will be there. Please don't be weirded out with everything that they say or do to you." Si Ej.

I laughed, weird kasi talaga ang mga kaibigan ko especially kapag ganito na kasabwat sila ni Ej sa mga surprises. Lalong lalo na si Ally at Kyrsten. Speaking of Kyrsten, she's already moved on from what Caleb has done to her. They are now friends and seems cool about their past.

"Sure thing, I will try harder this time baby." I answered.

"Thank you! See you later beauty! I love you."

"See you! I love you too." Then the call ended.

Hindi ko maiwasan ngumiti habang nag-aayos. Feeling ko isang oras na ako dito sa loob ng banyo, I can't help it. I am so happy right now. Nakarinig ako ng katok matapos kong magtoothbrush sa loob ng banyo. I went outside to see who it is.

"Hoy! Kakatapos mo lang maligo? Argh! Ang bagal talaga kumilos ni Graenielle. Kyrsten!" Ang ingay ingay talaga ni Ally. I stucked my tongue out to tease her more.
