sense of humor the way you contribute in classes and your voice. I really adore your heart-melting voice."

 

I paused after his confession. At the same time, I felt really happy. The guy that I always admire from the very beggining of college does like me too. I can't believe this. Am I just drunk? No. I can feel myself that this is real. I have to say something before we miss this moment "..........Lian I'm totally speechless now. But the reason why I kept quiet when you're around is that I've always wanted you too. I was shy. I really adore you as a person and I knew also that you're a nice guy though we didn't became close friends. The actions shows it all. And the way you love music as much as I do, it made my feelings more deeper."

 

He moved closer to me and we continue dancing. He explained to me that he asked Eli to help him for this confession. I figured out why they were whispering to each other when I saw them near the mini bar. I was nearly into jealous but of course I didn't. Eli is such a good friend. I could hug her tight later. Haha! I feel so much happiness filling the circled-garden. I could say that this was the most unforgettable night that happened. This confession session made my night.

Chapter 8 - Tremendous Moment

While me and Lian are now comfortable with each other on sharing things, we didn't notice the time. Mr. Walles passed through the garden and saw us. We stopped from talking and we got nervous that we might be scolded. The petals of the roses at the garden were all around. It was very prohibited in the campus to pick up those roses. "Mr. Brown and Ms. Olens?" Ms. Walles said while looking to the both of us. Before she could scold us, Lian immedietly explained. "Hey, hi Ms. Walles! How's your night so far? You look awsome huh. Ahm by the way, sorry for this little mess. I just had my confession with this beautiful lady here beside me. You know.." he said with a blink in his one eye. Instead of scolding us about the roses, she just said "Alright guys, time for the announcement of the winners. You both must go back inside. See you!" She left us without even getting mad, instead she looks very excited. Lian and I looked at each other with so much confusion and then we ended laughing. Ms. Walles is one of the weirdest yet coolest professor in the campus. Afterwards, we went to the function hall and got inside.

 

When we got inside and we saw Luigy, Gia, Eli and Ram were sitting in one table. Looks like we've got a new set of friends here. We joined them at the table then I heared Ram spoke "There's the new couple" teasing us while clapping his hands. We just smiled and sat on the two vacant seats. "And now, announcing the winners for Mr. and Ms. Grad Ball for this school year, Let us call on Mr. Collins, the Director of the school campus." Ms. Walles said. Blah blah blah. I was not listening because I'm not interested. I was just checking my phone then I heard "Mr. Lian Brown and Ms. Maria Zara Olens! Congratulations! Come up on stage guys!" Mr. Collins said. Everyone was shouting and clapping. Is that me? and Lian? Oh my! What a very wonderful night! Though I'm not interested with this kind of stuff, it's a different feeling in actual if you were announced as the winner. I'm so grateful. Lian held my hand and together we walked up on stage. They put on the sash title and gave us the certificate. It was a great feeling that me and Lian won. I really didn't expected this. I saw Lian was very glad, and so do I. He hugged me after the awarding and said "Congratulations Zara, you really deserve this title!" I smile and said "You too Lian, congratulation to us. This is really unexpected."

 

This night was totally amazing. It is one of the best night that ever happened. Lian, the guy I've always wanted had confessed about his true feelings for me after all the years we've been in college. And after wiinning the title of Ms. Graduation Ball, I realized that it was an unforgattable night that I will treasure for a lifetime. That after all the hardships during college years, here you are, still standing out among everyone else. It made me more confident and self-assured that I could do better on facing the new chapter that awaits me after this tremendous moment.

 

 

 

 

Chapter 9 - Meet Up

I was awakened by the heat of the sun that I'm feeling on my skin. I remember I forgot to close the window curtain last night for I was too tired. It's 7:30 on a sunday morning and my eyes are still close. I want to sleep more. Then I came to realize that I have an appointment today. I felt excited but still lying on my soft bed while reminiscing all the happenings from last night. The Graduation, the ball, my friends, the title, and Lian. I was distracted from my day dreaming when someone texted me. I checked my cellphone and speaking of Lian, he had just texted.

 

Lian: Good morning pretty. Ready for later?

Me: Morning! I just woke up and still sleepy. But yah!

Lian: Great! So I'll pick up by 9?

Me: Perfect! See you later!

 

He didn't replied anymore so I decided to get up and went to my closet. I thought it's time change my fashion style a little bit. I have to dress up like a young lady now because after all I'm not a student anymore. I checked my dresses at my closet and I chose to wear a light color since we're going to the church before having our lunch at Cravesville Restaurant. Lian is such a nice person. He loves going to the church so he suggested it. Not every guy has this kind of personanilty.

 

The dress was beige and it has a see-through short sleeves. It was above the knee but not too short. After selecting what to wear, I headed to the bathroom and took a hot shower. Hot water always makes me feel relaxed. It washes away my tiredness from last night and just enough to wake me up totally for I was still sleepy. Then after that half an hour shower, I  blowed dry my long brown hair and put on a very light make-up just to be more presentable. After fixing my self, I went to my shoe-rack corner and I picked up and wore my light gold 3-inch sandals.

 

I immedietly went down stairs to meet mom at the kitchen. "Hey Ms. Grad Ball. Good morning! Wow, my baby girl is now a lady. Nice dress dear. Come on, let's have breakfast." mom said while I'm getting my pan cake poured with sweet honey. "Good morning mom! Thanks mom, I decided to change my outfit a little bit since I already graduated. Oh, mom remember what I've told you last night when I got home. Me and Lian won a dine-in for two at Cravesville. We decided to have it today. But first we're going to the church. Remember Lian mom? The guy I'm talking about?" I asked while drinking my hot choco that mom prepared. "Well, that's a really good idea. Since you've been busy lately because of your graduation, you missed the church for almost a few times. So will I meet him personally today?" mom asked "Yah, he'll going to pick me up by 9. He's a very nice guy mom. It's so funny that we didn't even talked to each other during the whole years of college then all of a sudden mom, he just confessed his true feelings for me during the Ball." I said with a big smile like a little child that finally got her lolipop. "Of course! I remember him, how will I forget the guy that you've always talked about everytime. You used to tell me more of him during your music class." she said while giggling. "Oh come on mom, don't say it too loud. He might be behind the main door already." I answered with an ear to ear smile. I really love my mom. It's like she my very best friend. I always tell her everything. She's the best friend ever!

 

While me and mom are giggling and laughing, the doorbell rang. "It's Lian, I'll get it mom." I said while going to the main door. "Hey, hi Zara. Wow you really are pretty." Lian complimented. "Thanks Lian, Come in, mom wants to meet you." We headed at the living room where mom is waiting. "Hi Mrs. Olens, it's a pleasure to meet you." Lian said with a very sweet voice. "Oh hi Lian, it's nice meeting you finally. My daughter talked a lot about you" mom said with a big smile. I think mom started to like him. "Mom..." I said like I'm trying to control her words. That one made me blushed. "OK then, we have to go now mom. See you at noon." living a kiss to my mom then we went out of the house and got inside of his car. We waved goodbye to mom and then Lian started to drive.

 

 

 

 

Chapter 10 - Perfect Pitch

While we're on our way, Lian played a song from his usb. "Hey, that's a nice choice of song. I really love listening to that singer. How I wish someday, I would be a well-known singer in our country. That's really my dream. Do you
