ONLINE CLASS SERIES #1: LOVE ON ZOOM

CHAPTER NINETEEN

I am now enrolled for the whole term in UST. Mom said that it is good that I'll enroll early than late.

My adviser announced that we should have a graduation picture. Because it will be flashed through the screens next week.

Mom has this friend that has a studio. She contacted him for me to have a Graduation picture.

Minake-up ako ni Mom and styled my hair as well. "You look lovely." Mom said.

Sinamahan niya ako sa studio. Miguel will also be here in any minute now.

"Ang ganda ng anak mo." The photographer commented.

"Kanino pa ba nag-mana?" They laughed. They stopped when Miguel entered the room. He really looks intimidating. He look so handsome. "Gwapo mo, Miguel. Si Den muna."

The photographer took photos of me. Some are creative shots and wacky photos.

"I love you." He mouthed. That made made me smile.

When it's Miguel's turn, I smiled at him. "Gwapo mo." I mouthed. His smile widened.

"Parang kinilig lang ah." The photographer commented. "Okay, wacky." Miguel made a wacky face pero parang hindi wacky. Ang gwapo niya pa rin. "Kayong dalawa naman."

We took photos. One of my favorites when he kissed my cheek and I giggled. "Hoy! Baka nakakalimutan niyo andito ako." Mom said. We both laughed.

"Den ikaw naman. Kissed his cheeks." I kissed his cheeks but, turns out tumingin siya sa akin at labi niya ang nahalikan ko. "Wow. Nice shot. Lagot kayo kay Mommy."

"I love you." Miguel said. I want to kiss him.

I am now done with my High School life! Finally! I will now be graduating Senior Highschool with High Honors. Miguel will be graduating With Highest Honors.

Even though, We'll be graudating online, I can say that it's okay. I'm still proud of myself that I graduated in this time of pandemic. Because that means, I survived online school.

I turned on my laptop for me to join the Facebook Live Graduation. Per section at per strand ang pag-sabi ng mga graduates. It is my turn so I called Mom, Dad, and Talia.

"Rodriguez, Yohann Denise G.
With High Honors
Conduct Awardee
Outstanding Performance in English- Creative Writing"

"We're so proud of you, 'nak." Mom kissed my forehead. "Congrats!"

"Congrats my first baby!" Dad hugged me.

"Love you ate! Here I made a letter for you." She handed me the letter and kissed my cheeks.

"Willson, Miguel B.
With Highest Honors
Best in Research
Conduct Awardee
Leadership Awardee
Best in Multimedia Arts"

"Hakot awards boyfriend mo ah. Sabihin mo good job." Dad said, while patting my shoulder.

"Galing ni Kuya Miguel!" Talia giggled.

Next is the ABM strand. We waited for Alonzo to be called.

"Medina, Alonzo B.
Merit Awardee
Loyalty Medalist
Best in Business Enterprise Simulation."

Alonzo did well also. And I'm proud of those boys. They really did well.

After that they wrapped up the Graduation. Nakakaiyak rin pala umalis sa school na 'to. Dati ayaw ko dito. Pero ngayon, mamimiss ko pala. "Congratulations, dear graduates!" Our principal said. And the Facebook live ended.

Miguel called me. "Congrats baby! I'm proud of you. I'm proud of us."

"Congrats Miguel! Will you come here?" I asked.

"Why?"

"I just miss you."

"Oh. Sweet baby. Okay, I'll come."

Wala pa'ng 30 minutes, na sa labas na siya. I ran towards him and hugged him. "I love you." I whispered.

"Oh eto na pala yung hakot sa awards. Congrats, son!" Dad said.

"Thank you, Dad." They both laughed.

We ate first and then we went to my room to watch some movies. Hindi ko namalayan na nakatulog na pala ako. Naramdaman ko lang na hinalikan ako ni Miguel sa noo.

"I'm proud of you, I love you. I want to be with you everyday." He whispered. I cried. "I love you so much. Don't cry. If you cry, I'll kiss you." I cried harder and then he laughed.

He kissed me sweetly. "I love you, baby. We'll celebrate every successes together, okay?" I said. He nod.
