Dale Daniel's POV
“I don’t have any photos left that I could use for my update today.” She frowned and turned her head to me. “You are prepared.”
“You told me so.”
“It's February already. I want to spread love today,” she said, laying her head on the table, bummed out.
“Woman?” I called. I reached the camera inside my backpack and stood up from my seat. “Sit here.”
“Huh? Why?” She asked, still in that situation, not moving an inch.
“I’ll take pictures of you.”
Clarriese Zyah’s POVI feel my whole world spinning while I am staring at the laptop’s monitor. I couldn't even read a single word. O could feel like they are moving and getting entangled with each other. Everything gets blurry. The pain in my head gets heavier. I closed my eyes as I rested my head on the table.“Zyah?” I heard someone call my name but I couldn’t open my eyes. It felt so heavy. I am really in bad shape.“Zy?” I could sense his thoughtful touch on my shoulder, trying his best to wake me up.“Mm?” It’s difficult for me to utter a word in a dried throat.“Wake
Dale Daniel’s POVDay quickly passed by, Zyah already got well and went back to her usual state, the lively her. We are now gathered, the six of us, under the shade of a huge acacia tree at the back area of the university. I have known this place during my junior days but I’ve never been here. Riona office, library, classroom, home, that’s only my routine. But the girls always spend their time here, almost everyday. And today they approach us, asking to be with them. Johnny and Ryle agreed without hesitation, leaving me the only choice, to go with them too. We need to finish lots of activities and projects since graduation is getting nearer.“Dwight?” Ryle faced her holding a piece of paper.“Hmm?” Dwight responded, halte
Dale Daniel’s POVOur ceremony just ended a while ago. Most of the graduates are now taking pictures with their families, anywhere at the campus.I hurriedly went to the university’s field when I received Zyah’s text message saying that she is now waiting for me down there.“Let’s welcome, Mr. Dale Daniel Cuego!” She speaks like a graduation emcee, calling me on stage. “Bachelor of Arts in Journalism, Summa Cum Laude.”“What are you doing here, woman?” I asked as I accepted the bouquet she gave.She clapped. “Yay! You are now a graduate, Cuego!”
Dale Daniel’s POV“What’s with this unusual ambiance, Cuego?” Ryle asked and lent his hand to me, giving me a canned drink.I let out a quick smirk after I accepted his offer. “Just letting my mind wander a little.”“You are spacing out like this. This is not like you!” He teased and drank his drink.“Hear yourself, Ryle.” We heard Johnny’s voice coming near us. We could hear his loud laughter. “Letting his mind wander a little is nothing. Don't forget that he's a Summa Cum Laude!” He added, grinning.I thought he wouldn&
Clarriese Zyah's POVTime came and my friends arrived at our house. It's my birthday and my mom threw a simple party for me. We only prepared food and invited only my friends. Of course, Aunt Lavianna is here too."Happy Birthday, Zy!" They all greeted me. They gave me a hug one by one."Here!" Johnny hands over a yellow paper bag. "My birthday gift," he said."Here's mine, Ms. Tehran." Ryle slightly bowed down, reaching out his hand holding a paper bag too. He raised his head and showed his smile. "Please accept my birthday gift, my lady.""Mind yourself, Ryle," Dale warned him, giving him a sharp look.
Dale Daniel’s POV“This is the final boarding call for passengers booked on a flight to New York City. Please proceed to gate 3 immediately. The final checks are being completed and the captain will order for the doors of the aircraft to close in approximately five minutes in time. I repeat. This is the final boarding call. Thank you.”After hearing the boarding call, I could feel the pain inside my heart grow bigger. As I looked at the five people in front of me, I couldn’t help but feel sad. Yes, I am happy but there’s sadness too. Yes, their smiles encouraged me but it’ll take a lot of years again for me to witness this moment. I know within me that I’ll long for it.I know that when I left the country, I didn’t know about w
Clarriese Zyah’s POV “Until now?!” Dwight stopped writing on her paper when I told her about my situation. “Yeah. I could feel that there is someone following me,” I said, in an uncomfortable tone. “What if it was just your mere imagination?” “I dunno. It felt so real.” “But you mentioned that it happened many times already!” She sounded mad. “I told you. I couldn't help but feel afraid.” I heaved out a sigh. She let out a deep breath to calm herself. “Let's just focus on our school work first, shall we?” She poin
Dale Daniel’s POV“How are you doing these past few years?” I asked, fixing my gaze on her. We are now sitting on the pavement at the university’s field. She is seated next to me but not that close.She smiled. “I’m glad that I survived college life.”From where I am, I could see how perfect her visuals were. She owns that not-so-red thin lips, her pinkish cheeks, her mushy gazes from her tantalizing eyes and her black hair fits her fair skin. She is more gorgeous than before.“College journey made me realize a lot of things,” she uttered seriously then she looked at me. “It was exhausting. It's a good thing that I didn't lose my breath du
