The Relationship Code (Chapter 3) Sneak Peek

After namin kumain, akala ko uuwi na kami kaya lang hindi pa rin pala. Nagpunta kami sa madalas naming puntahan kapag gusto lang namin mag-relax. Sa likod ng rooms na nilinis namin noong fourth year highschool pa lang kami. Sobrang tagal na nu’n pero hanggang ngayon binabalik-balikan pa rin namin.

What I love the most about this place is that it’s open. I can see how the moon shines and even the stars. 

Humiga ako sa damuhan and Hunter did the same. 

“My safe haven,” he whispered. When I looked at him, ginawa niyang unan ang braso niya at nakapikit na. 

Napatingin ako sa langit. This place has been a memorable place. Ang dami nang nangyari sa lugar na ‘to. 

Sa lugar na ‘to kami naging close. That was three years ago. Lagi pa siyang galit sa mundo noon. Bihira magsalita. I didn’t know anything about him back then except for his name and group. Honestly, I thought he was a creep. 

Sa lugar din na ‘to, naging open siya. Dito ko nalaman na natanggal siya sa trabaho. Dito ko nalaman na naninigarilyo pala siya pero ngayon ay tumigil na. Dito ko nalaman na matalino pala siya at hindi lang talaga siya nag-eexam kasi wala siyang papel. 

In this place, he shared his personal life. He told me about his family – about his secrets. In this place, he told me he likes me. And in this place, I realized that I’m starting to fall for him. 

That was more than two years ago. Who would have thought. Time sure flies. 

I closed my eyes and memories rushed through my brain.
