The Last Teardrop (TS3)

Chapter 15

"Babe, let's eat first", Andrew held my hand as soon as I went out of our dean's office after passing my requirements for graduation.

It's a busy day for everyone since we have our own things to do. Sina Czai at Edz, nauna nang nagpasa ng requirements dahil may kailangan pa yata silang puntahan. Miah went to their mansion since her favorite Auntie went home from Japan. Carlton, like always, was missing in action and probably with his fling again. Si Gerlie naman, kasama si Frankie and I think they'll have a date tonight.

"I'm craving for some Korean foods, babe. Mag-Bonchon na lang tayo?", I smiled when he randomly kissed my head before we climbed down the stairs. I knew how sweet Andrew is as a friend but I never thought that he could be much sweeter once he became your boyfriend, "Then can you go with me sa supermarket? Gotta buy some groceries"

"Okay, let's do that"

I could feel the stares from other people as we walked on the hallway of the engineering building. Ilang buwan na kaming ganito ni Andrew pero hindi pa rin ako nasasanay sa atensyon na nakukuha namin kapag magkasama kami. We're even featured one time in the facebook page as one of the great couples in the university alongside with Czairina and Edzel.

We've been together for almost five months now and I still can't believe that he's already mine. Minsan, natutulala na lang ako at tinatanong ang sarili paano kami umabot ni Andrew sa ganito?

Sure, I dreamed of him since then and I'm so grateful for having him in my life all these years. Hindi lang ako makapaniwala na andito na kami, boyfriend ko na siya. I never thought that we would be in this kind of relationship that sometimes it's getting too overwhelming for me.

May mga oras na naninibago ako sa mga kilos niya sa akin. The sweetness and care he gives every single time of the day would always bring me to cloud nine. I always feel special because of him.

I know he's trying his best to make me feel love. Simula noong gabing yun, hindi na namin pinag-usapan si Ellie. He's determined to move on. Wala rin akong pagsisisi ng mag-offer akong tulungan siyang kalimutan lahat ng sakit. Because if I didn't let that happen, I wouldn't feel this happiness I'm feeling whenever he's with me.

"After helping del Carmen in their condo unit tomorrow, let's go to Tagaytay?"

I looked up at Andrew from my plate to see if he's serious. We're in the middle of the week though not that busy since we're already done with the requirements and the only thing we're waiting is our graduation day.

"Tagaytay in the middle of the week?", I chuckled a little while picking fries on his plate. Hindi siya mahilig sa ganoon kaya lagi niyang itinitira para sa akin.

"Just to unwind. Besides, we have nothing to do since we already passed all the requirements. We deserve some chill, babe. We've been drained for five years of nonstop studying"

I don't even thing it's draining for him. Imagine graduating as one of the Magna Cumlaude's in our batch and still looked so handsome as him? Bakit ba hindi ako naging kasing talino ni Andrew at Edz?

"Is that an early treat for your achievement as my Magna cumlaude?", I chuckled a little which made him smile.

He reached for my cheek and slightly pinched it.

"More on my little treat for the achievement of my Cumlaude girlfriend who strived so hard for everything she's doing", smiles were escaping from my lips because of those sweet words. He really knows how to warm my heart so much, "I'm so proud of you, Kels"
