...

Halfway through the film already and she's already asleep in my shoulders. My phone vibrated on my pocket and I picked it up.

It was mom again.

"What do you want mom!" I whispered through the phone. "What is it so important that it can't wait tomorrow."

"The letter." She said.

I felt my heart pounding through my chest. It arrived. The letter that I've waited for weeks to come is here. My thoughts about this letter is mixed. Possibilities of me getting rejected are high than me getting accepted. All these emotions are loose and I couldn't contain it,

I breathe in and out to calm myself. "I'll come home tomorrow. Maybe around lunch or earlier if possible."

"Love you sweetie."

"Love you to mom." I hang up.

...

I reached my house around 10:34am. I knocked on the door and waited for either of my parents to answer.

The handle turned and opened. Mom was there with open arms waiting for me to hug her. I put my arms around her shoulder while she puts hers around my waist.

"Where's the letter I asked?" I asked.

She handed it to me on her right hand.

I held it. My hands were shaking and sweat was falling down on my forehead.

"This is it." I swallowed.

It was either I made it or broke it. The envelope was maroon with a gold like stamp at the center holding it all in place.

I gently opened the envelope and read it out loud.
