Clarriese Zyah's POV
Today is the day of our Christmas party. As I stepped at the entrance of our campus, I saw all the people with smiles on their faces, carrying their gifts. Some of the students were holding balloons and bouquets. I also saw some students wearing Santa Claus hats.
I went straight to our classroom first to leave some of my belongings. Dwight wasn't around yet when I came in.
"Tine, I'll go to Riona first," I informed Christine, our classroom president. She is now arranging our food at the table at the front.
She stopped and turned her gaze towards my direction. "Sure, Zy," she responded. "You've done your part already," she added.
Dale Daniel's POVDay after our Christmas, I got up early in the morning because Manang Lydia woke me up, informing me that my grandmother was calling."Sir Dale!" I heard her from outside. I forced myself to open my sleepy eyes. "Madam is calling!" she added.I felt the heaviness in my body, tiredness is still present in me. I got up lazily and opened the door of my room. "Thanks, Manang Lydia," I said after she passed me the keypad phone.Manang Lydia and my grandmother were pretty close. Back when I was a child it was both of them who looked after me after my father passed away.My father. . . Papa.
Dale Daniel’s POVDecember 15Today we are taking off to the province where Zyah’s grandmother lives.And today is also...Also...I couldn’t stop the excitement in me when I was pulling my suitcase inside the airport. Yes, I could get excited too. During these past years, I barely went out of town. It's not my cup of tea. If not Johnny and Ryle forcing me to go with them, I probably just stay at home keeping myself occupied with books.At the airport, I was the first one who came. I composed a message in our group chat, asking where they are. They all replied to
Dale Daniel's POVI never expected in my life that I could encounter something like this, that today would ever come. We walked over 2 kilometers, traversing the muddy way to our destination. Sweat beaded on our foreheads as we raised our feet for another step, ensuring that we wouldn't stumble. It’s a good thing that Zyah’s grandfather fetched us. When we reached Zyah’s grandmother’s house, a perfectly new atmosphere welcomed us. The two-story house was made up of woods, surrounded by its garden. Various colors and sorts of flowers and plants gave positive vibes in the area.The ambiance made me feel that I was thrown back many years ago. The mood, it gives me chills.Our feet were coated with dirt. We went straight to the Artesian well a
Dale Daniel’s POVRyle, Johnny as well as Dwight and Ellaine fell asleep because of exhaustion from our trip. I couldn’t deny that my body felt the same too.After I changed my clothes into a simple black T-shirt and black jogging pants, I looked for Zyah. Her grandparents were both asleep too. They told us that in the province it’s part of their life to take a nap, siesta, after lunch.After a minute of searching, I found her sitting, crossing her legs, under the shade of a huge Mango tree in the backyard of the house.I step closer to her, unhurriedly. “Woman,” I called when I finally got nearer to her.&ldq
Dale Daniel’s POVA placid, freezing morning welcomed me as I opened my eyes. I blinked twice, I’ve got a blurry vision from my sleep, momentarily blinded. The ray of moonlight came through the window. The moon still possesses its exquisite beauty even as dawn is coming near.I decided to rise since I woke up already. I was about to move when I noticed that someone was holding my hand. I slowly turned and I saw a woman sitting on the floor, asleep, holding my hand.“Zyah?” I uttered, gobsmacked. Rose up from lying and seated, inching forward, I gently touched her hair covering her face and tucked it to her ear. My eyes were pinned on her, she looks so beautiful even when she’s asleep.
Clarriese Zyah’s POVIt’s nearly 1 in the morning when the Community salo-salo finishes. We all went back to our homes with the love present in our hearts. My heart is filled with happiness. We all went to bed when we reached the house since we all felt sleepy and tired too. We’ve been moving all day long.I heard a phone ring, interrupting my sleep. I am still sleepy and could feel the pain devouring my whole body. I got up from lying and stretched my body. I rubbed my eyes too to recover from my sleep. I reached for my phone and the small table beside the table.“A new message from Ms. President.” I slid the notification when I unlocked my phone.“What did Chri
Clarriese Zyah’s POVIt’s already been a week since the news about Dale and Rosaline spreads throughout the campus. They instantly become the talk of almost all of the students at the University. Now, I know why Rosaline has never been good to me. He likes Dale. She admired Dale since she was a freshman until now, she’s in her 2nd year on her course.Dale completely ignored the issue. He did not release any statement saying it’s not true or such. He believes that if he says something, the situation may turn around.“It’s been a week already but still you are still the talk of the campus. Don’t you have any plans to correct the news?” I asked while we were having our break time at Riona.
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.”
