Chapter 1
Levi was smiling from ear to ear as soon as he walked towards the exit of the airport. He couldn’t describe the emotions that were inside his heart.
“Levi!”
“Levi!”
The continuous shouting of his name could be heard outside of the airport while the people were all waiting for him to come out.
It was like a scene in a movie. He never thought that he would be experiencing this at this young age. All the attention of the people were all on him.
There were a lot of people, especially those coming from the media who didn’t mind standing for a couple of hours outside of the airport and waiting for his arrival.
He was shocked to see the crowd that was waiting for him. He admitted that he felt like he was a hero because of how the people were shouting his name.
They were all patiently waiting for him and didn’t mind how they were jammed in the place just to see him.
Levi just came back from South Korea where the SEA game was held, and he was able to bag the gold medal. He couldn’t believe it himself, but he won the prestigious contest.
His hard work finally paid off. All of those sleepless nights and those diets he did to be physically fit finally became worth it.
Before, he was just watching those athletes being awarded and he felt like he was in cloud nine when he received his medal. It was something he only saw in his dreams, and it was so different when he was already there and being recognized.
The crowd continued to shout his name and they made their voices even louder when he finally got near their direction.
Despite the warm welcome from his countrymen, Levi couldn’t deny that he was looking for someone.
His eyes were searching for someone in the middle of the crowd. His heart was beating so fast because of what he knew that would be happening once he saw that person.
Levi roamed around his gaze for a couple of minutes. He didn’t expect that he would be welcome by this big number of people. It was just so overwhelming.
There were just so many people. And the cameras continued to click, and he was almost blinded by the flashes coming from these. Every media wanted to cover his arrival and every reporter wanted to hear him.
It was like those scenes he saw in a TV series. But the only difference was he was not an actor but an athlete who had brought home a gold. He represented the country among other Southeast Asian countries, and he topped the Olympics.
He was proud of himself, and he knew that he deserved it because of all the hard work and sacrifices he needed to do.
Levi smiled widely when he saw the person he was looking for since he arrived.
Finally, he was able to see where his family and friends along with his girlfriend, Cameron Fuentebella were.
His heart was jumping in joy as soon as he saw them. His heart was pounding so fast when he saw his girlfriend.
It had been over two months since he saw her and just as always, he was mesmerized by her enchanting beauty.
Her perfect eyebrows were paired to her round eyes where he could see the sparkle of happiness. Her luscious lips that looked like inviting him for a kiss.
She had been his girlfriend for two years and yet still, she was taking his breath away. They have known each other during the celebration where he also won a gold medal during the Palarong Pambansa (national game).
Cameron was the daughter of the Taekwondo team. They met each other at a victory party where their team was invited.
That night was so magical for him, and he couldn’t forget that night when he met Cameron. His life was changed.
He felt like he found the half of his heart because the woman was always there to support him.
Levi couldn’t help but smile because of the warm welcome that they all received. The banners were all displayed in the arrival area and at the same time there were also tarpaulins waved by their supporters.
His eyes finally focused on his girlfriend. Though he could feel his heart beating so fast. He could feel the whipping up of mixed emotions inside him.
“God, so this is how it feels,” Levi said to himself as he slowly walked towards the woman he loved with all his heart. He never thought that he would be experiencing the slow-motion effect that he just usually saw in movies.
It never came inside his mind that it was a real feeling. He never thought that the world could really stop the moment you find the half of your heart.
He knew that he was being cheesy, but he couldn’t help it.
He got closer to her. He could feel the tears forming in both corners of his eyes.
Levi couldn’t help but think what he had done in his past life that he deserved to be blessed like this.
He could say that he had almost everything that he wanted in his life. He belonged to a loving and supporting family then he had Cameron who loved him so much.
He took a deep breath while he was hearing the deafening sound of his heart when he was already in front of the woman.
He wanted to relax himself. Though his heart was hammering inside his chest.
So, without any word coming out from his mouth, he knelt in front of her.
The crowd were all shouting but he was deaf with the loudness of the world, all his attention was on Cameron while waiting for the answer to his question.
The woman’s eyes went round while she covered her mouth with her hands. There were tears starting to form in her eyes. It was like she couldn’t believe what was happening.
Levi sniffed. He took something inside his pocket.
“Ms. Cameron Fuentebella,” he said in a low voice, almost cracking. The feeling that he had was just so overwhelming.
“You are the one that I have been waiting for and I am sure that you are the half of my heart. Will you make me the happiest man on earth and say yes?” He said and then he opened the little box that he was holding.
