My Dear Chloey (FREE)

Pale Fire 3

HINDI napigilan ni Michael na makaramdam nang kaba habang nakaupo sa isang coffee shop malapit sa University.

He's waiting for Chloey.

Yes, inaaya niya si Chloey for a date. Yes, a date with Chloey. His stomach shatters at the thought. Hindi niya alam kung paano niya naaya ang dalaga sa isang date. He was just mesmerized by her charm.

Matagal na niyang napapansin si Chloey. Michael know she got something for him but he denied that fact. He has his own priority in life. At wala don ang love life. But he couldn't force himself to ignore her. Nang lumapit ulit sa kanya ang dalaga ay nataranta siya pero pilit niya iyong hindi ipinahalata.

But when he sees her smile, his world starts spinning. Seryoso siyang tao lalo na sa studies. He rarely go out just to have a date with a girl. Hindi siya yung klase ng tao na walang plano sa buhay.

Pero iba ang pakiramdam niya kapag nakikita niya si Chloey. She makes his heart pound like crazy. He never felt like this before. Never in his lifetime.

He remember the day when he call her to meet him at the garden. It was magical for him. He felt like an idiot when he kept the leaves that fell on Chloey's hair and the origami she made for him.

But what can he do? He was attracted to Chloey the very first time he laid his eyes on her. Michael adores the way she laughs with her friends, her smile and even her serious face when she is listening to their professor. He was observing her from afar and making sure that she would not notice it, as he didn't want to reveal his true intentions.

From the start, gusto niyang pigilin ang nararamdaman niya and ignore lang si Chloey. At first, nagtagumpay siya. But here he is, sitting and impatiently waiting for Chloey . And he couldn't stop his heart from beating like crazy.

And there's Chloey.

Kitang-kita ni Michael ang dalaga habang papasok sa coffee shop kung saan sila magkikita. And he couldn't contain his nervousness.

Agad siyang napatayo nang nakita niya na nakabunggo si Chloey nang isang lalaki na marahil ay papasok din ng coffee shop. Lahat ng gamit ng dalaga ay tumilapon sa sahig. Lalapit na sana siya nang mapansin niyang tinulungan din ito nang nabunggo nito at binigay ang gamit ng dalaga. Hindi naman nag tagal ay pumasok na si Chloey sa loob ng coffee shop para hanapin siya.

"Michael!"

He heard her voice. That voice made his heart pound like crazy at that very moment.

Lumapit sa kanya kinauupuan niya si Chloey. "Sorry, Am I late?" ani nito sa kanya.

Napatitig siya sa dalaga na ngayon ay nakangiti sa kanya. Napalunok siya. Ibang klase talaga ang dating sa kanya nito.

He grabbed the bouquet of flowers and give it to Chloey.

"For me?"

Napangiti siya nang makita niya ang mapupula nang pisngi ng dalaga. Mukhang hindi nito inaasahan na bibigyan niya ito ng flowers. He'll see to it that she always receives flowers from him.

"Yes, Chloey. For you." nakangiting sabi niya sa dalaga.

Inalalayan niya itong makaupo sa table nila. "I ordered you chocolate cake and I frapped." ani niya dito.

"T-Thanks, Michael." ani nito sabay kuha nang frapped at ininom agad. Napangiti siya nang makita sa ekspresyon ng dalaga na parang kinakabahan ito. "You called me-"

"Yes, Chloey."

"Ww-hy? I mean, we can meet inside the university."

Doon siya lalong napangiti. Ang cute tignan ni Chloey.

"I like you, Chloey."

She blushed. "W-what? Again?"

Hinawakan niya ang kamay ng dalaga sabay pisil.

"I'll court you, Chloey."

"A-are you serious, Michael? Baka nabibigla ka lang. I mean-"

Pinisil niya ang kamay ng dalaga. "No, I'm dead serious. I really like you and I'll make sure to get your yes. I like you, Chloey."

My Dear Chloey,

How was your day? I hope you're alright. Me? Same as usual. Missing you every day.

I had a dream. I've dreamed of you leaving me behind.

Dear, it made my heart shatter into pieces. I'm scared of my own life leaving me.

I know, Dear. I know it was only a dream but I can't stop myself from hurting.

Dream of me, Chloey.

I love you with all of my heart.

I want to see you smile at me for the rest of our lives.
