INSTEAD of going to the gym about having breakfast we ended up at the bubble tea shop.
"Marla, please put this in the vase." I handed Marla the rose. I saw that she also smelled ‘it’ before combining it with other flowers.
I went back to the seat where Jr. was sitting and then sat across from him.
"Mia," Jr. calls me when I approached him.
"Why?"
"Thanks!" I wondered what he said.
"Thank you for what?"
“Thank you for still being there for me. Thank you for coming back, and thank you for still accepting me as a part of your life.” I smiled at him because of what he said.
"I also want to say thank you," I said.
"Thank you for what?" he was the one who wondered.
“Because despite what happened, you still proved that you were just there for me. Even though I lost my way and went to someone else you still didn’t leave me and you still stayed by my side. Not only for me but also for my family.”
I wasn't blind then, I saw Jr.'s help to my family. He was often at home to help Mom and Janel take care of Dad. It was as if he had become a child and he had taken my place. That is why it wasn't hard for Dad and Mom to trust him.
Even though I didn’t pay attention to him then he still didn’t leave my Family’s side. The men's household chores that Dad should be doing were passed on to him even if not he is a family member after all.
"I know that one day you will come back." He said complacently.
“How can you be sure? You know I had a boyfriend then.”
"As far as I know, my heart says I will suffer because you will definitely come back."
"As much as you know, is your heart saying something now?" I ask.
"Yes, he said you still love me and you will love me forever."
"How did your heart say that?"
“He said, that's what your heart said to him. They say they are talking secretly what we don't know.”
I smiled at what Jr was telling me, I don’t know when he even learned to be cliché.
"You know you've become a cliche," I said but the truth is I feel my stomach tickles.
“It's sweet not cliche” Yes, it's really sweet to listen to but it's just annoying because it tickles me.
"Mia," he called to me then took my hand.
"Yes Jr." He frowned at what I said.
“Yes? Which one is yes? ” he asked in surprise.
"Yes, you and me." His eyes widened at what I said.
"Is that true?"
"You don't want? I'm easy to talk to, I can take it back."
"Hey no, there's no turning back, that's it and it can't be recovered," he said then stood up. "Yes!" he shouted then called Marla.
"Hey, what's up?" Marla asked when she saw Jr. excitedly.
"Marla, Mia has already answered me," he shouted then hugged me and lifted me into the air.
“Wow, congrats. The wedding will be next, ”Marla said but we ignored her.
"I love you, Mia, I promise I will do everything for you, take care of you and never hurt you."
"I love you too, and I promise, I won't hurt you again."
Jr. was about to kiss me when Marla suddenly sneezed.
"Porn is not allowed here, it's child abused because I'm a minor." Jr. took me down and we just laughed at the same time. We forgot that someone was with us.
This is the beginning of our happy togetherness, I will make up for him in the time we wasted then. This time I will make him feel how much I love him. I will not waste this opportunity to be with him forever.
