Chapter 49It was still a little foggy when they departed on the second day of their field trip. The destination was a little too far this time and good thing for Andy that it"s not anymore under vL"s.
She also had no chance of talking to Erika nor Rina since they needed to settle down on their seats for departure.
Also, Andy and Erika could only exchange smiles as they got in.
Not long, one of their professors walked through the aisle holding a microphone and briefed them of their trip.
Her voice resounded all through out the bus" speakers.
After some time, a student approached that professor and conversed something that gained a loud shout of chorus from the back.
The girls in front curiously turned their bodies and gazes inquiring what"s going on?
Then, a student made his way to the front carrying a bouquet of flowers with matching chocolates holding the microphone in his hand, and stopped in Erika"s aisle.
He"s from another cla.s.s. Erika smiled at him.
Well, this isn"t new to her anymore.
Meanwhile, Andy threw her jacket over her head and slouched against her seat.
By then, music begun to play. The man held the microphone up.
"Woah…" a sound of chorus from the back echoed then that student begun to sing.
[Beautiful girl, wherever you are
I knew when I saw you, you had opened the door
I knew that I"d love again after a long, long while
I"d love again]
He sung it with a smile then handed Erika the flowers and chocolates.
Erika gladly received it.
[ It was destiny"s game
For when love finally came on
I rushed in line only to find
That you were gone.]
By then, Erika took a glance at Andy but a jacket was all over the girl"s head.
[Whenever you are, I fear that I might
Have lost you forever like a song in the night
Now that I"ve loved again after a long, long while
I"ve loved again.]
Andy all this time, has been gripping her jacket while making sure to cover her face.
What her brother just told her last night keep popping out on her mind.
"Make a move already."
"Didn"t you see those ravenous wolves around her?"
"Ugh…" she squeezed herself under the jacket.
[Beautiful girl, I"ll search on for you
"Til all of your loveliness in my arms come true
You"ve made me love again after a long, long while
In love again
And I"m glad that it"s you…
Beautiful girl…]
[***************]
Upon that day, their tour ended fruitfully.
They were checked in to some hotel afterwards.
Then night came, after their dinner and a quick shower, Rina came rushing to Erika"s room with Andy in tow.
"Erika, there"s a live band playing at the roof top. Let"s check it out."
Erika nodded, she"s brushing her teeth. She can"t answer with all the bubbles in her mouth.
"We might as well get a little tipsy too. You know, drinks." Rina added.
Erika smiled and nodded again.
"You can go on ahead. I have to stepped out for a bit." Erika said after her gurgle.
Rina shot her a questioning look but Erika only smiled for an answer.
After awhile, they exited the room together and Andy"s forehead creased at the sight of a man waiting outside.
It was that student in the bus.
Erika acknowledged his presence and bid her friends goodbye.
And went along with that man in the opposite direction leaving the two gazing at her back as she drifted away.
"What the h.e.l.l was that?"
