She's shy at the same time happy because it is  her first time going out with someone. It is her first time being this close to Noah.

Akala niya ay sa imahinasyon niya lamang ito makakasama ng ganito kalapit. Pero ngayon ay nangyayari na nga. Hindi niya naman kase inakala na makikita niya ang lalaki sa paglabas niya ng bahay.

She really expected him to hate her because of her unusual eyes. Every man wants a perfect woman, and she is far from being perfect. She's weird, silent and not normal, but still.. Noah likes her.

“W-What?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong nito.

Maliit siyang ngumiti, bagaman nahihiya ay nilakasan niya parin ang loob.

“I.. like you, Noah."

Unti unting kumurba ng ngiti ang labi nito, iglap lang ay naramdaman niya nalang ang braso nitong yumakap sa kaniyang katawan. Tuwang tuwa.

“Shit! You're making me so damn happy!"

A tear escaped her eyes, this scene was only seen on her imagination. Hindi kapani-paniwalang nangyayari nga.

Her eyes widened when he kissed her cheeks, causing her to blushed. Hindi niya mapigilang isipin ang kaniyang daddy, kung nagkataong nalaman nito ang pinagagawa niya kasama ang isang lalaki ay baka hindi na siya muli pang makakalabas.

Her dad is one hell of a strict father, but deep inside he's soft especially when it comes to her.

She swallowed hard when his deep gray eyes stared at her. Those eyes is breathtaking, nakakapanghina din.

“I promised to be with you as you make your dreams come true. I will be in your ups.. even in your downs, June."

Naging ilap ang kaniyang mata, sumikip ang kaniyang dibdib at gustong kumawala ang kaniyang mga luha.

She know those are impossible, she'll die anytime soon. Mahirap mangyari ang mga bagay na iyon.

She forced a smile, bahagyang sumandal sa ibabaw ng dibdib nito. This place makes her feel at peace, sa bisig ng lalaking unang tumanggap at nagpatibok ng kaniyang puso.

She bit her lower lip when she felt dizzy. Bahagyang umiikot ang kaniyang paningin, nanlalabo din. Mabuti nalang at nakasandal siya sa lalaki kundi ay baka tumumba siya bigla.

Bahagya siyang naghabol ng hininga, pinapakalma ang sarili. Nasa ganoon silang sitwasyon nang biglang may boses na tumawag sa kaniya.

“June!"

Lumakas ang tibok ng kaniyang puso nang mapansin ang kaniyang daddy sa bungad ng resort. He's looking at her worriedly.

Mabilis siyang lumayo kay Noah, mabuti nalang at bahagyang umayos ang kaniyang pakiramdam.

“D-Dad.."

Napalitan ng matalim ang tingin nito nang sumulyap kay Noah. Hindi niya mapigilang makaramdam ng kaba para sa lalaki.

She gaze at Noah and forced a smile.

“I.. need to go. T-Thank you."

Hindi na niya hinintay ang sagot nito at saka na tumalikod. Her heart is clenching sa pagtalikod niya sa lalaki. She doesn't like to leave, but her dad will get mad.

Iniling niya ang ulo nang muling makaramdam ng hilo, she can feel a liquid slowly falling out from her nose.

“S-Sorry, Da—"

Naramdaman niya ang pagkabuwal ng kaniyang katawan. Maging ang pagtawag ng pamilyar na lalaki, Noah.

“Damn, your nose is bleeding!" Nag-aalalang boses ng kaniyang ama ang huli niyang narinig bago tuluyang mabuwal sa bisig nito.

Dear Diary,

Noah.. I'm sorry for always leaving you behind. I want to stay, badly, but I can't. My body can't. I also want to achieve those dreams with you, but how would I?
I want to live long, but may be dying young is already written on my destiny that even how much I’m trying to change it, I’d still end up dying… inexperience.

Love, June.
