Chinny's POV
Angelo went to work early and didn't even think of waiting for me. What an ass!
I got ready and went to the university because I had much to do.
My forehead creased when I noticed a large crowd in front of the admin building. They were all lined up and staring at me.
It's not even Valentine's Day.
I was about to walk past them, but before I could, Henry approached me, holding a single white tulip.
"For you, Chinny," Henry said as he passed me. I walked on, confused, but stopped when I saw Raphael holding a single blue rose.
"For you," he said and walked past me. My brows furrowed even more.
What the hell is going on today?
"Hey! Chinny, this is for you," Drin said as he handed me an iris. I just smiled.
Are they sure this is really for me? I continued walking. Don't they have classes?
"Yo! Pretty girl, this is for you," Francel said, handing me a red tulip. My eyes widened.
Is there no class today? It seems like all the students are out here.
"Chinny." Ken and Aki called out to me.
"Here," they said in unison, handing me two red roses.
When I saw what the crowd was gathered around, my mouth fell open. It felt like my world had stopped spinning.
One by one, my friends approached me and handed me the flowers they held.
I was looking into his eyes. They were beguiling and unearthly attractive.
He was standing with The Heartrender.
I froze in place.
Too many billion people running around the planet
What is the chance in heaven that you'd find your way to me
Tell me, what is this sweet sensation
It's a miracle that it happened
Though I search for an explanation
My heart pounded as I watched Angelo holding a microphone, singing with The Heartrender.
Behind him was Dagger, holding a guitar, Rhysand with another guitar, Khairro on bass, and Lucifer on drums.
Angelo looked at me intensely, his gaze fixed solely on me, his beautiful smile etched on his lips.
I bless the day that I was born for you
Too many foolish people try to come between us
None of them seem to matter when I look into your eyes
Now I know why I belong here
In your arms, I found the answer
Somehow, nothing would seem so wrong here
If they'd only realize that
I was stunned.
Was this song really for me?
Am I born for him?
Maybe I'm just dreaming.
No one has ever serenaded me in front of so many people.
This kind of thing only happens in dramas and books.
But I guess moments like these can happen in real life.
I bless the day that I was born for you
What we have, the world could never understand or ever take away
And as the years go by, until the day I die
I bless the day that I was born for you
He walked toward me, and Astrid handed him a giant teddy bear.
When he reached me, he gave it to me. I took it and hugged it, almost entirely covered by it, but Angelo gently pushed the bear aside just enough to see my reaction.
My heart felt like it was hit by a strong earthquake when he winked at me.
Alright, fine! I'll admit it—he is handsome.
He tucked a loose strand of my hair behind my ear.
The crowd around us erupted into screams and cheers.
Our friends grinned mischievously.
"I want to spend my whole life with you, Chinny. Can I take you out for a dinner date, my queen?" Angelo asked.
Did he have to announce it?
And with a microphone, no less?
My heart was pounding. This was weird.
Maybe I need a check-up.
Everyone's attention was on me.
They were all waiting for my answer.
I looked at Angelo, and I could see the nervousness on his face.
Damn it!
I've been giddy for a while now.
I smiled before answering. "Yes, a dinner date will be great."
The crowd erupted into applause and screams.
I was caught off guard when Angelo kissed my forehead and held my hand.
He continued singing, his voice adding to the excitement I was feeling.
I was born for you, and you were born for me
And in this random world, this was meant to be
What we have, the world could never understand
Or ever take away until the day I die 🎶
He gently cupped my cheek as if I were something fragile that could break any moment.
He looked at me, his eyes filled with happiness.
I felt like I was melting under his gaze, so I quickly looked away.
I glanced at Farley and the others and saw their playful grins.
When I turned back to Angelo, I felt my face heat up.
I bless the day that I was born for you
What we have, the world could never understand or ever take away
And as the years go by, until the day I die
I bless the day that I was born for you
"I believe that I was born for you, Chinny. When I looked at you, something urged me to do everything possible. Maybe Cupid is playing again and shot me with an arrow to love you," he said before suddenly hugging me.
"Thank you for accepting my invitation. I love you, my queen, sweetheart, my wife."
I smiled at his whispered words.
He has loved me for a long time. I was the only one he saw.
Even though our beginning wasn't perfect, he still treated me like a queen.
My mind grew even more confused.
I was happy with Angelo, even without Kilorn.
My life became contented.
I was never like this.
What's happening to me?
"Sir Angelo serenaded her."
"He's so sweet to her."
"Monasterio is so lucky to have Angelo."
"I'm so jealous of her. Angelo is handsome."
"Right, they're both ridiculously good-looking."
I heard the murmurs of some girls.
They all thought I was lucky to have Angelo because almost all of them liked him.
Almost all of my guy friends were popular and considered ideal types by many women.
Angelo let go of our hug and gazed into my eyes.
"I won't tire of loving you and showing the world how much I love you."
My jaw dropped.
His words were hitting me hard.
"I love you so much."
