*Dagat put her hands together on her face and sighed*

Dagat: Why did she give me that advice so late? I have no clue about relationships

*Door bell*

*Dagat turned around from her chair*

*Gets up with a sigh*

*She twists the door knob as her eyes rolled*

*Ananis smiled*

*He revealed to her a bouquet of black roses*

Dagat: "We need to talk" *holding his arm*

She pulls him inside the house holding the bouquet.

Ananis: "Huh? What did I do?"

*Dagat crossed her arms and looked deep into his red eyes.*

*Dagat sighed.*

*Dagat pulled him close to her computer desk*

*She stood as she hunched back, lowering her face to the screen of the computer*

*She scrolled up to the video*

Dagat: "THIS! IS THIS YOU?" *she exclaimed as she spread one of her arms introducing the video*

*the video*

Young Ananis: *holding a girl smaller than him up high*

Young Ananis: *throws her off the locker*

Young Ananis: *steps on her* "How would you feel if I put your little brother into the oven if you don't give me your lunch money?"

***

Ananis seems quiet confused at first

Ananis suddenly felt embarrassed.

Ananis: Yes, that was me in middle school.

*Dagat groaned as she put her fingers on her forehead*

Dagat: Hays... I'm not disappointed in you, but all of us made mistakes in the past.

Dagat: It's best to forget it and not to repeat it. (crying)

Ananis: What's wrong sweetie?

Dagat: I just...had this nightmare last night...I am just scared of losing you-

*Ananis's hand lifted her chin*

*Ananis started wiping her tears*

Dagat: I'm...I just really wish that we are still together no matter what happens.

*Julio arrives downstairs*

Julio: Hey it's you!

Ananis: Good afternoon Mr. Julio. It's good to see you.

Julio: I just heard a commotion between the two of you-

Ananis: Uh-

Dagat: IT'S NOTHING! *covers his mouth*

Julio: Kiddo, what did I tell you about keeping secrets?

Dagat: Fine....I'll show you later after the two of us hang out.

Julio: Alrighty.

Julio: Well, don't ya touch her and I'll keep an eye on you too.

*The two gulped*

*Julio went downstairs*

Ananis: I will show you something

Dagat: hm?

Ananis: started twisting the flowers that he picked from the bouquet.

Dagat: What are you doing to my flowers?

Ananis: I am making something you have never seen before silly

*Dagat silently watches her boyfriend making something*

Ananis: My mom taught me how to do this when me and my sister were living in Estrella.

Dagat: Aria is your sister right?

Ananis: Mhm.

Ananis: Back then, everything felt very fun and nice.

Ananis: *Changed mood* Until those darn heads attacked my town... *flashback of the civil war*

Dagat: Anini...

Ananis: Oh? I won't be talking about it. It's just too painful.

Dagat: Well, maybe I can give you space while you work on tha-

Ananis: No, just watch me carefully

A few minutes later

Ananis: Ta-da!

Ananis: My crown for you my dear elegant princess. (Puts it on her head)

Dagat: A garland? I've never seen a black rose garland! Thank you!

Ananis: *smiled*

*Beep beep!* "Mijo, where are you?"

Ananis: Sorry my uncle is here, I have to go. Thank you Mr. Julio

Julio: Ah you can come visit us anytime whenever we're ready.

*Ananis embraced Dagat*

Dagat: *whispering* Thank you.

Later at night...

Dagat: "Anini... hayss...." Dagat slept with a large pillow as if she was sleeping with her boyfriend.

🪻AUTHOR'S NOTE🪻

🍓CHAPTER 14 REMAKE!!

(original Chapter 8 extended)

▶️Extended:

The bullies confronted Ananis who then made him feel forced to spread information in the cafeteria, fights, and food fights.

The school authorities are concerned which made them suspend Ananis (for 3 days, which shows the unfair treatment of the school even though he did nothing but self defense), and the bullies (for 1 week) starting after they were grounded.

Uncle Sunny picked up a grumpy Ananis, and his uncle cheered over his behavior which Ananis made him slam the door of his room.
