Chapter 26: Chapter 26

Tatsi's POV

I received a text from Ruzzel. He said that there will be a pajama party at Aliyah’s place tonight and so I went.

I decided to accept the invitation of Ruzzel. Not because of the party but because of the chance that Joana was also there.

In just no time… I arrived at Aliyah's unit. Fortunately, there was no gig so I was able to go as well.

Ruzzel was about to leave when I arrived. Am I late? I looked at my watch and it's just six thirty-five in the evening. Or am I a bit too early?

"Tatsi, let's go home!" Ruzzel shouted.

“Go home? I thought there is a party happening tonight. You just sent me a message bro. Here.” then I showed his text message.

“Party? Tonight? Maybe it is just a typographical error. Sorry if I disturbed you Tatsi!”

Then Aliyah and Ruzzel both laughed at me. I gave them a smirk.

“Just give me a ride Tatsi, I did not bring my car all the way here. I know it is your pleasure to help a friend,” said Ruzzel. Look at the way how he talks. Seems like he does not do something evil in me.

“Oh, before we forgot, since you are here already, we have something for you... I know it will surely change your mood. I know it will erase the annoyance you are feeling right now.” then Aliyah handed out the notebook in which I wrote all the questions I wanna asked Joana.

I smiled. Yes. Aliyah is right. The notebook can erase my annoyance.

They both laughed at me again. I know right, they are very compatible with each other. The same level of evilness on their being.

Ruzzel and I left immediately. I am no longer annoyed with them. As I have mentioned, the notebook erased it already hahaha hahaha.

After I delivered Ruzzel, I also went home. I'm so excited to read the answer of Joana and I don’t know why.

I just woke up the next day still holding the notebook. I fell asleep while reading.

I shook my head. Yes, Tatsi. You are in love.

Why don’t I try making a song for Joana? It is a way also to prove to her that I am dead serious with my feelings towards her.

Amid thinking and daydreaming, someone sent me a text message and it is from Joana.

Admitting the fact that I did not expect a text from her, I just read the content of my inbox.

I love you Tatsi.

I blinked my eyes. Yes, a hundred times. Just to check if this is true but it is not.

And I woke up in reality.

It is just an illusion.

I suddenly felt like I was missing Joana. Her presence. I know we have not started anything yet but I am too determined that one day, we will be having our happy ending as well. Her innocent face flashes on my mind. The way how she reacted the last time we have met. On how she assumed that I was just playing games with her. About what she wrote in the notebook. Everything about her.

I have to immediately make a move. I will go to Joana and prove to her that I deserve a chance.

I dialed Aliyah’s number to ask if where can I find Joana right now. There are no classes right now so the school is already excluded from the list of places where can I possibly find Joana.

Aliyah mentioned that Joana is in the mall right now. Seriously? Why she always wanted to go to the mall?

I went straight to the mall that Aliyah said. I did not ask Joana directly simply because I have a plan to surprise her. And also, she might just hide if she finds out that I wanna be with her today.

Before I stepped out of the car, I made sure that my disguise is convincing. When I am satisfied with my looks, I went downstairs and entered the mall. I don’t have any idea where can I find her. A mall is a big place but I know in myself that this isn’t a hindrance to our love story hahahahha. Tatsi, fighting!

I started looking at the women's clothing store. All of the sales representatives were giving me a look from head to toe and upon reading what is on their minds, they were thinking I am gay.

I hurriedly went out of that store. Joana was not there.

Not even on the other stores which are selling kinds of stuff for women like accessories, bags, pieces of jewelry and such.

An idea suddenly came up with me. Oh yes! The book store where we first met.

When I arrived at the book store, I was not mistaken. I immediately saw Joana… choosing a book.

I ran our distance. And because of the excitement, I am feeling right now, I stumbled down. How embarrassing. And the worst is, my disguise has been removed.

People easily came to grabbed me the moment their brains already processed who I am.

I was surrounded by my fans.

Unfortunately, there is a lot of people today here at the bookstore so I have no escape.

Some of them tried to hug me while some of them tried to squeeze me. I want to speak but I just remained silent. I need to get out of here before I may end up like one of rotten cabbage.

I was about to lose hope when suddenly I felt someone held my hands.

My heart is familiar with her touch. It made me smile.

“This happened before, right? I believe you already know that running together is the only way we can get out of here." Joana whispered in my ear.

She counted from one to three and then we ran fast.

Right again, the parking lot.

This time, in my car.

We both gasped for breath after we got inside the car.

The fans tried to follow us but they could not identify which vehicle we entered.

"What are you doing at the book store, Tatsi?"

"I'm looking for you, Joana."

She raised her brows the smiled at me.

"Why are you looking for me?"

“Because I want to see my world, I want to see you.”

She laughed shortly.

"Crazy."

"Yes, crazy for you."

Words that made her blush. I smiled. She is so very cute.

“Joana, I will court you. I don't care if you agree or not. You can not getaway. ”

“I am giving you a chance Tatsi. Even though I am really against your fangirls. ”

Then she pinched my cheeks.

Wait, my heart melts. I may sound so gay but yes, it melts my heart.
