"Kanina kapa ba?" kaagad na tanong ni Sofia at niyakap ang kanang baso ko. Hindi na ako nagsalita at naglakad na kami. I look around, mukhang maaga ang mga estudyate ngayong unang araw ng klase.
As we enter the school gate, we hear the loud screams of every girl. I would not wandered why, balik eskuwela na naman kaya panigurado mag-uumpisa na naman sila. Sanay na ako sa pagsigaw nila araw-araw and shouting every morning is their routine. Bago kami tuluyang makapasok sa gate nagtinginan nalang kaming tatlo.
"Hahhhhhhh!" Nanggigigil na tili ni Leona. Napatapik ako sa aking noo sa ginawa niya makikisama na sana si Leona sa mga babaeng nagtitilian kaso pinigilan siya ni Sofia, and I would not be surprise why Leona is one of them.
"Where are you going? Daretso tayo sa classroom." pagsita ni Sofia kay Leona. Ang alam ko classmate kami ni Sofia habang katabi naman ng classroom namin ang classroom ni Leona.
"Gosh! Si Ethan!" Sigaw ulit ni Sofia, sabi ko na fan girl din siya ng Five Famous.
"Let's go girls male-late na tayo." pagdidistract naman ni Sofia. Pagpasok namin ni Sofia sa classroom nandoon si Zach at nilulupungan na siya ng mga classmates naming mga babae. Shacks! Classmate namin si Zach? Tumingin naman si Zach kay Sofia and Zach give Sofia a sweet smile and then he winked at her.
"Whoops!" I look at Sofia and I notice she's smiling.
"I smell something, something fishy." I whispered and I gave her a teasing smile. Sa pagkakaalam ko kasi may crush din si Zach sa best friend kong si Sofia, but I’m not really sure about it. Sa dami ba ng mga babaeng lumalapit sa kaniya.
"Umupo kana nga." Utos ni Sofia sa akin at tumingin ulit kay Zach na titig na titig kay Sofia.
Soon, our first prof arrived for the first subject today, unlike the other profs, from last semester who are very serious, at least somehow, she knows how to smile. We are in the middle of our class when someone is coming.
"Good morning! JayEm." One of my classmates greated him. Hindi na ako magtataka na late na naman siya, everyday naman siyang late. Ewan ko ba kung ano ang ginagawa niya tuwing gabi at laging late kung pumasok. Naging classmate rin kasi namin siya last semester.
"Sorry ma'am I'm late." He apologetically said sabay yuko sa harapan ni ma'am. Magalang naman kung titignan at kung ibabase sa mga galaw niya. Kaya lang hindi ko siya gustong lapitan kasi mukha siyang masungit. I'm not judging him, like what they said don't judge the book by its cover.
"Okay class dismiss." nabalik ako sa riyalidad nang marinig ko ang mga huling salita nang prof namin.
I'm not in the mood to listen to the first class and since this is our first day, I think they'll let it passed that one.
Sofia and I arranged our things and when we left the room, JayEm bumped into me and because of that I dropped my cellphone.
I closed my eyes because I thought my cellphone would fall on the ground but I didn't hear any sound that it felt. So, I opened my eyes and he was handed my cellphone in front of my face. He bowed to me as an apology and he immediately walk away.
Sina sabi ko na, cold at medyo nakakatakot at may pagkaweird kasi hindi man lang siya nagsalita. Pagkalabas naman ng room sinalubong kami nina Leona.
"Hello girls, by the way this is Danny." Sabay abot ni Danny ng right hand niya kay Sofia, anong pakulo nito? E, mag kakakilala naman kaming tatlo. Mag kaklasi ba sila ni Danny? Clause ba sila? Ang alam ko gustong-gusto si Leona si Danny.
"Hi, I'm Sofia." hindi ko inaasahan na sasakyan pa ni Sofia ang ginagawa ni Danny. Napataas naman ang kilay ko when they do shake hands, wow napaka formal n'on ah.
After they shake hands, sa akin naman inabot ni Danny ang kamay niya. Hindi ko talaga ipagkakaila na pwedi rin siyang ipambato sa mga pageants, I mean gwapo siya. Kaya nga siya kasama sa The Five Famous, 'diba? Hay naku Divina.
"Hi, I'm Danny." Introduced niya sa kaniyang sarili, tinignan ko ang kamay niya inabot niya sa akin and I immediately look his face then I raised my right eyebrow. He moved his head, like it's telling me to give my hand too. Then suddenly he took my hand, I can’t do nothing so, I took a deep breath before we do a shake hand.
"Hello, I'm Divina." My eyes widened when he suddenly touched his cheek to mine. Ang lakas ng loob, feeling clause talaga, tatlong beses kong kumurap upang mahimasmasan mula sa aking pagkagulat.
"Oh, siya tama na 'yan." saad ni Leona na para naiinis, sabay hila kay Danny palayo sa akin. Did she act jealous? I asked myself, no I don't think so, then I shook my head.
"Let's go, cafeteria muna tayo bago tayo magtungo sa next subject." Singit naman ni Sofia. Nagtungo kami dalawa sa cafeteria at hindi ko inaasahan na ang pagtambay ng The Five Famous dito.
"Oh, where is Leona? She was with Danny earlier, wasn't she?" tanong ni Sofia, iginala ko ang aking mga mata ngunit hindi ko makita si Leona.
Sobrang dami kasing estudyante ang naka palibot sa The Five Famous. Hindi na namin sila pinansin, hinila ako ni Sofia upang maghanap ng mauupuan namin.
I guarded the place while Sofia bought us food. There is too much noise here in the cafeteria, the women inside the cafeteria are shouting and screaming.
If I hadn't clearly mentioned who are the five famous, maybe it's better if I introduce them to you. First on the list Jacob Carter Castillo, Second, Ethan Maximus Santos, the third one, Zach Maxwell Infante, second to the last, JaysEm Kyle Cruz and the last from the list, Danny Joe Santos.
Sila bumubuo ng The Five Famous, last semester kasi, sila ang may pinaka maraming boto na nakuha. Nakasanayan kasi dito sa school ng Prairie University ang pagpili ng limang kalalakihan na gwapo at matalino, na magsisilbing mukha ng school, since limang kalalakihan ang nagtayo ng school kaya may pagan'on.
If I'm not mistaken, nine nanalo last semester tatlo ang alam kong nagtie. Nagtie sina Jacob Carter Castillo at si Vince Conner Valencia. Nagtie naman sina, Ethan Maximus Santos at si Clarence Drake Villanueva. Sa pangatlong pwesto naman nagtie ang dalawang kambal na sina, Jerry Aziel Faustino at si Henry Asher Faustino. Sa pangapat at si Zach Maxwell Infante at ang panglima ay si JayEm Kyle Cruz at ang pang-amin ay si Danny Joe Santos.
Marahil ay nagtataka kayo kung paano naturingang The Five Famous ang mga pangalan na una kong nabangit at marahil na hinanahap niyo ang mga pangalan nina Vince. Siguro naguguluhan na rin kayo kung papaano nakasama si Danny.
Ganito kasi 'yon, since ayaw nila Vince, Clarence at ng dalawang kambal ang masyadong maraming nakatingin at nakasubabay sa kanila sa school. They all decided na ipatanggal ang kanilang pangalan bago ito maannounce sa buong school.
That's when the remaining names I mentioned earlier started to be called the five famous which was also the reason why Danny’s name was included.
Nabalita rin sa buong campus ang ginawa nila Vince at doon naman sila tinawag na The Adorable Still.
Siguro gan'on talaga kapag college, kanya-kanyang grupo at kanya-kanyang samahan. Ayon kung saan at kanino ka makikisama, mapapanibilang at nababagay.
"Ang haba ng pila girl," Sofia put down the food she bought and with a sigh it sat in front of me.
"Mga sis, kakanta si Jacobbb..." kinikilig na sigaw ng isang babae habang hinihila ang mga kasama niya kasama papunta sa kinaroroonan ng The Five famous.
When I heard, Jacob will be going to sing, I quickly got up and stepped on my seat. Nakita ko sila na nakaupo sa paikot ng mesa at saktong nakaharap siya sa gawi ko.
Ethan and JayEm are holding a guitar while the three of them were about to sing. Hindi naman lingid sa inyong kaalaman na may gusto ako kay Jacob, ilang beses ko na 'yan inamin.
Nagasimulang tumugtog ang gitara, maya-maya lamang ay nakita kong pumorma si Jacob, mukhang siya ang unang kakanta.
I don't want another pretty face
Dahil nakatayo ako habang nakatungtong sa aking upuan, kitang-kita ko ang mukha ni Jacob na nakaharap sa akin.
I don't want just anyone to hold
Parang nanigas ang mga paa ko dahil sa hindi ako makapaniwala sa aking nakikita, pakiramdam ko tuloy hinaharana ako ni Jacob.
I don't want my love to go to waste
Hindi ko rin inaasahan ang kaniyang mga matang ay derektang tatama sa aking mga mata. His golden irresistible eyes are directly staring at me right now.
I want you and your beautiful soul
Ramdam ko ang pamumula ng magkabilang pisngi ko, ngunit hindi ko iyon alintana, sapagkat hindi ko na rin maalis at hindi ko na rin mapigilan ang mga mata ko na hindi tumitig pabalik sa kaniya.
I know that you are something special
Parang unti-unting nawawala ang mga estudyanteng nandito ngayon, dahil ang pakiramdam ko ay kaming dalawa lang ang nandito ngayon.To you, I'd be always faithful
Unti-unti kong naramdaman ang pagbilis ng tibok ng puso ko na sumasabay sa tugtog ng gitara at ang kaniyang pagkanta.
I want to be what you always needed
Maliban sa mabilis na pagtibok ng puso ko, wala na akong ibang naririnig kun'di ang boses ni Jacob na kumakanta at ang tunog ng gitara.
Then I hope you'll see the heart in me
Hindi na niya inalis ang kaniyang mga tingin sa akin hanggang sa hindi na niya natapos ang kaniyang pagkanta nang Beautiful Soul ni Jesse McCartney.
I came back to reality again, when the screams inside the cafeteria got louder at dahil sa nakatayo ako sa aking upuan, mabilis kong nakita ang pagpasok ng The Adorable Still.
I still couldn't move from where I was standing, until Vince got close. May bakanteng upuan pa sa aking tabi ay ginaya niya ako, tumuntong din siya sa upuan para mapantayan ang taas ko.
Medyo nagulat ako sa ginawa, hindi ko napansin na gumalaw na ako at nakatingin sa kaniya.
Hinakbang niya ang kaniyang isang paa sa upuan na aking kinatutuntungan. Unti-unti niyang inilapit ang kaniyang mukha sa aking mukha. Kaya nanlaki ang aking mga mata, ilang milimetro nala mang ay dadampi na ang kaniyang labi sa aking labi.
Ang buong akala ko ay hahalikan niya ako, I was about to stop him when he suddenly grabbed my hands with both of his hands.
Wala na akong magagawa naninigas pa rin ang mga paa ko at parang nakalimutan ko na kung ano ang dapat kong ikilos. I hold my breath and then I close my eyes. I suddenly felt hot breath in my ear.
"I guess we will use a same bed tonight." my eyes suddenly opened, at the same time I got goosebumps from what he whispered into my ears.
I blink my eyes four times at sa panghuli ay nakita ko ang mukha ni Vince sa aking harapan na may nakakalokong ngiti. Ilang segundo lang nagkatitigan ang aming mga mata at mabilis siyang bumaba mula sa kinatutuntungan niyang upuan.
"I'm all yours tonight." he said loudly as he went down and quickly walked out of the cafeteria with Clarence, Henry and Jerry.
Pagkalabas nila ng cafeteria ay roon palang ako nakahinga nang maayos pero tulalang naupo ng maayos mula sa upuan nakinatutuntungan ko kanina.
"Girl, kaloka!" kinikilig nitong sigaw.
"Nagulat ako sa ginawa ni Vince! Ai! Hindi lang pala ako, lahat kami nagulat!" Kinikilig niya pa rin sigaw. Hanggang ngayon ay tulala pa rin ako, I didn't expect what he did, I really thought he would kiss me.
"Girl ako, wait... Akala naming lahat hahalikan ka ni Vince." Pabulong naman nitong sabi. Isa, dalawa, tatlong beses akong kumurap pero hindi ko pa rin maalis ang pagkatulala sa ginawa niya at parang malinaw pa rin sa akin ang kaniyang luhing sinabi.
I'm all yours tonight
I'm all yours tonight.
I'm all yours tonight.
"Maging si Jacob ay napatigil sa pagkanta at hindi lang siya basta napatigil, napatayo pa siya sa upuan na nasa tapat niya." Muling pagbulong ni Sofia. I shook my head at nilingon sa kinaroroonan ni Jacob.
Ngunit sa aking paglingon ay nakita ko siyang naglalakad papalayo.
Natapos ang first day ng klase para sa simula nang second semester. As kuya Jonas said, kuya June is the one who brings and fetch me up at school. Ans as kuya said I didn't even go out of my room, nanay Perla brought me food for dinner.
Before I got to bed ay naghilamos muna ako, hindi ko pa rin maalis sa isip ko ang nangyari sa cafeteria. Ang pagkanta ni Jacob at ang ikinilos ni Vince. After I washed, I lay down on my bed until I fell asleep.
From my sleep I felt a hand touching my legs. I opened my eyes and when I saw someone is in my room, my eyes widened. So, I tried to get away from him quickly. But he so strong to pulled me back on my bed.
Ibinigay ko ang aking makakaya upang itulak siya papalayo sa akin, ibinigay ko rin ang lahat ng aking lakas sa bawat pagtatangka na itulak siya palayo sa akin ngunit walang nangyari. I don't have enough strength to get rid of him.
He so strong to stop me to move, he held my two hands tightly and put them above my head. He used force get on top of me.
"Please someone can help me!?" and I started to shout.
Vince helped me unload all my belongings in the compartment of his car. “Are you sure you will be fine here?” he asked me several times while we were on our way to Sofia’s apartment. I know that he can't help but worry about me after what happened. “Vince, how many times I should answer that same question?” hindi sa naiinis ako pero malapit na roon, Isa pang tanong niya maiinis na talaga ako.“You’ll answered as many questions as I could asked you.” He sarcastically responds, without looking at me, he walked inside the apartment and he left me alone outside. Looks like I already pissed him off. Sumunod nalang ako at nanahimik, pinagbuksan naman kami ng pinto ni Sofia. We put the things down next to the bed, here in the bedroom. “Once you need anything just call me. You should take care of yourself while I’m not around. I have something important to do, I should go now.” I smile at him and nodded onto him. He lowered his head a little and kissed m
“Divina! Uy best. Wake uuup! We're getting late!" I heard Sofia’s voice waking me up. Napasarap ata ang aking tulog. "Hmmm! What time is it?" Inaantok kong tanong. I don't know why I’m so drowsy, I went back to bed when Sofia accompanied me after I had my dream last night and fortunately, I never dreamed again. Mabuti nga at hindi ako namamahay. You know, I’m the type of person who can't sleep when I’m not in my own bed. Siguro dala na rin ng pagod at sa mga hindi inasahan na pangyayari kahapon. When I open my eyes, I saw Leona, papasok ng bathroom. It’s embarrassing that I woke up late. "06:30." She answered. I look at Sofia, she already took her shower at inaayos na niya ang gamit pang school. "Best, I think it's to early to wake up?" I mumbled and I closed my eyes to sleep again. It's to early to wake up, our first subject is 08:00 am in the morning. "Best wake up. Maliligo kapa tapos magaalmusal. Take note, wala kanang driv
(DIVINA POV) Our conversation was interrupted when my older brother's orders were served on our table. "How about your allowance? Paniguradong hindi mo magagamit ang bank account mo we both know mommy." I can see on my brother's face that he really worried about me. Pero hindi naman ako ganoon katanga kung maglayas. "Kuya, don't worried about m-." I’m not done talking when he interrupted what I was going to say. "Anong kuya, don't worried about ang sinasabi mo!?" his blood is about to boil and any moment he will start to emit a fire. I know he has a right to be angry with me for what I am doing now. I couldn't even tell him what had happened. So, I understand if he’s mad at me, he’s entitled to that as an older brother. "Kuya listen. You don't have to worried about me, na withdraw ko na lahat ang nasa bank account ko." Mabilis kong saad. I saw his forehead furrow and his two eyebrows meet.
It’s been three days when I have talk to Kuya Jonas. Nag-uusap naman kami, but we didn't talk about the last time we talked, he never opened that topic again. Dito ako sa Caffe Resto, kakatapos lang ng klasi namin. Nauna kasing lumabas ng classroom kanina si Sofia dahil may part time job pa na naghihintay sa kaniya. I want to go home because I’m hungry. Since, I woke up late earlier, I don’t have time to take my breakfast. I can't buy anything because I left my wallet in the apartment, it's a good thing I have a little money in my bag. "Where is Leona? Ang tagal naman niya." para na akong ewan na pabulong bulong dito, naku! She was ten minutes late. She still has class. I forgot to borrow Sofia’s key earlier. Ahhh! I really want to go home. "Hi Divina. I'm sorry, I'm late." She yields and speaking of Leona. Grabe lang kanina pa ako naghihintay dito. I really need to create a lot of duplicated keys. "Ho! Finally, your he
Jacob continued driving, I forgot to ask where we were going because I suddenly remembered my conversation with my dad back then. During the times when I was still with him and I once mentioned Jacob to him. Flashback! I was in front of the school gate and I was waiting for my dad to pick me up. When suddenly Jacob walk passed in front of me. I can’t help but follow him with my gaze, until I couldn’t notice that my dad was standing beside me and I couldn’t hear my dad voice calling my name and I didn’t even realize that he was behind me. “Divina!” I heard loud serious deep and loud voice mentioning my name, na dahilan para ako’y magulat, mapatalon at paatras. He followed where my eyes were looking and he saw Jacob. “Who’s that guy?” tinignan niya ako sa mga mata pero hindi pa rin naaalis ang malalim at siryosong tono ng kaniyang pananalita. When I didn’t answer he walked back to the car, I followed him and
After my lunch with Jacob. I'll take my way home. While I am passing the way home, I always find myself smiling and after a minute, I'm now standing in the front of our apartment. I open the door in our room and I shut off the door fast. Hindi ko mapigilan ang sarili ko na hindi sumigaw sa kilig. Hindi ko rin naman napansin si Leona na nandito sa loob ng kwarto. Teka hindi ba siya pumasok sa kaniyang klase? "F*uck! Why are you screaming? Where are you been? And why are you late?" She was surprised and welcome me with her rapidly question. Bakit siya nandito? May pasok ‘tong babaing ‘to ah. "Hi Leona. Why are you here?” tinaasan niya lang ako ng kilay, napara bang sinasabi ng kaniyang mga kilay, this is also my apartment. “I mean, you still have a class, haven’t you?” naglakad ako papalapit sa kaniya. “Tinamad na kasi akong pumasok, kaya umuwi nalang ulit ako.” Walang ganiyang sagot. “How did you get in?” t
(Jacob POV) This past week, I’ve been thinking for her every night, until the drowsiness visited me at the time, I fall asleep. I don't know, this is the first time that a woman has taken in my mind, I always thinks about her. "Hey, Jacob wake up! Hey, wake up!" Zach shouted while he knocking on my door, napuyat na naman ako sa kakaisip sa kaniya kagabi. I can’t stop thinking of her, since the day I have lunch with her. Pero ang nakakapagtataka hindi ko maiwasan ang kakaiba, sobrang nawiwirduhan ako sa kakaibang pakiramdam na hindi ko maipaliwanag. Hindi ko naman na ramdaman ito sa ibang babae. "Jacoooooob! Wake uuuuuuuuup!" I hear Danny yielded. Both of them was knocking on my door, I woke up and opened the door. While rubbing my eyes using my right hand and rubbing my thighs with my left hand. "Jacob, do you want to find out who is Divina?" Zach asked. Everyday ganiyan sila lagi akong ginigising, laging sagabal sa tul
Tinignan ko si Sofia at ganoon din siya sa akin. I gave her a sign to introduce herself na ikinalaki ng mga mata niya at ikinataas ng kaniyang mga kilay. Like where having a mind debate and she lost. "Hello I'm Sofia Natalie Corpuz." Sofia introduced herself. Ah, awkward talaga, nararamdaman ko na naman ang pag-iinit ng aking pisngi. "Hi, I'm Jacob Carter Castillo." And He did the same. Ano kaya ang meroon sa kanila at mukhang nilapitan ata kami. Heto ba ang tinitukoy ni Sofia kanina? "Oh, yeah my friends Danny-" and Sofia cut Jacob for presenting his friends. Sige go lang Sofia ikaw na kumausap sa mga ‘yan at baka mautal-utal lang ako. Because I’m not really used to talking to others especially in front of the crush, nagiging chunga-chunga ako. Nakakahiya man amin pero totoo. I really hope that I have the courage and confident to talk normally like others. "Hello Danny nice to see you again." We already met Danny
(Third Person POV)Nang marating ni Vincent ang presinto, ay kaagad siyang sinalubong ni Ken Morgan. In his mind, he had to do everything he could to bring Jonas home safely to his friend Javis."They started to interrogate them. Ellena admitted that they planned to kidnap the children. While Benjie had no plan to say anything." litanya niya habang nalalakad papasok ng prisinto."Did Ellena admit where they took Jonas?" there are only two things on Vincent's mind right now, to make sure Ellena and Benjie are imprisoned and to make sure Jonas is safe." Yes, the police went to Jonas' place tonight to make sure he was safe." Ken replied and handed over a folder and two envelopes containing the evidence.Binuksan ni Vincent ang envelope at nakita ang mga malilinaw na letrato na kuha sa CCTV at isang USB. Mga letrato ng isang tao at ang truck na ginamit sa pagbunggo upang patayin si Javis. Mga letrato nina Benjie at Ellena habang kausap ang taong
(Third Person POV) Jayson informed Clarence and Vincent that they need to get out of the building, using the radio they have. Clarence and Vince quickly retreated. Habang papunta sila sa pinagtaguang lugar kung saan sila magkita-kita sila. Javis could not stop his tears from flowing. While he could not get rid of the worry and fear for his children. His fear for his daughter intensified because he knew he was in critical condition and his worries for his son because he had not seen him yet. Clarence's eyes widened when he saw the blood dripping and so did Vincent. Now they know Divina's life is in danger. They are all worried about Divina's condition. Javis immediately put his daughter in the backseat of the car and Jayson quickly helped Divina. Javis quickly started the car and rush Divina to the nearest hospital. Clarence and Vince drove to another car and quickly followed Javis. Jayson removed his long sleeve doubled over the white shirt and
"It was James who called me that night. He asked me to meet him in that place. He told me that there was a important things that he need to discuss with me. At first I asked him what its all about but he told that it is better to discuss it personally. So, I agreed even though I don't have any clues about that matter. Matagal din akong naghintay sa lugar na iyon, hanggang sa dumating siya at nagulat ako dahil sa kasama niya rin pala si Olivia." Javis took a deep breath, wipe away his tears to stop it from dripping. While remembering what happened in those moments, he thought that, he had done nothing to save his in -laws and he was also starting to get angry with himself why he only now met the family of his beloved wife Ellora. He was waiting for Ellena to say something, but she can't, her face was drowning with her tears. Kahit gusto niyang humagulgol sa pag-iyak ay hindi niya magawang gumalaw at ibaba ang kaniyang hawak-hawak pa rin na baril nakatutuk kay Javis. So,
(Third Person POV) Javis, Jayson, Vincent and Carlos rushed in at the same time. They make a silent move even though they rush to look for lurking enemies. They bravely rushed into the enemy's den. The first one who starts is Javis, he trow a punch straight to the face of his opponent and he used his elbow to hit the jaw then he used hammer stick to knock down the first opponent he saw. Next is Jayson, he used groin kick and he immediately kick the ass of his opponent and he rotate his whole body to have a full force to kick the face of his opponent which caused it to bump into the wall and fainted. Using Carlos' elbow he hit the chest of his opponent, immediately trowed to hit the jaw, he turns back to hit the backbone, and using again his elbow he move it downward vertically to knock down his opponent. While Vincent used only his palm to give a stricke straight ahead with the base of his palm to hit the nose and he quickly breaks the neck of
(Third person POV) Matapos nilang sabihin ang buong katotohanan kay Divina. They decided to send away their families, while they are still in a very difficult situation. Since, they already know that Benjie Anderson and Ellena wants a revenge for their fathers death and they both blaming Javis for the same reasons. Vincent decided to hide his family out of the country. Jayson sent his family far from Pampanga but still in the Philippines. While Carlo sent his family on his personal hide outs that even Javis, Jayson, and Vincent didn't know. Carlo made another hide out exclusively for his family. While Javis instructed his son Jonas and his daughter Divina to go to their secret house. Actually, only Javis and Jonas his son knows the secret house and this is the first time that Divina will know about it. nce they found out it was a revenge. They have come up with a plan to protect their families. After they all send their families away for a while, they d
"I want to ask for a favor." it's never came up to my mind to ask a favor from him, but in needed to ask this for Divina. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. This is not for me, this is for Divina. "If I can why not." I nodded and I look at him seriously in his eyes. "I want you to promise me to take care of Divina, to be with her when she needs company. I want you to promise me to protect her, always make her happy and don't you dare to hurt her." I use my deep voice with authority. Kapag nabalitaan ko na sinaktan mo siya, babalikan kita at sisiguraduhin ko na hindi na makikilala nino man ang mukha mo. "Why suddenly you asking me to make a promise?" aiisst! Naiinis na ako, why not just to answer yes? Kailangan niya pabang tanungin iyon? Hindi ba halatang nagpaparaya na ako? Aist, naiinis na ako ang sarap niyang batukan. "Do you really love her?" gusto mo ng tanungan ah. Maling sagot mo masasapak talaga kita. "Of course, I do love her." I
(Vince POV) I felt sorry for Divina, because she had been crying for too long. After she heard ang know the all the truth, she came out crying. I was about to approach her when Clarence suddenly stopped me. I get hurt every time I see her crying. But I have no regret that I’m one of those hidden in the truth, because we did that to keep her safe. "Bro, she need time to process everything." I looked Clarence in the eye and I could see that even him was worried and I turned my gaze back to Divina. I wanted to approach her, hug her, pero hanggang tingin na muna ako sa kaniya. I don't want make thing conplicated. I can't sit still in my seat so, after a few more minutes, I couldn’t help but approach her. Gusto ko siyang damayan sa pag-iyak niya. So, I sat next to her. I just kept uit because I diidn't know what to say. I can't find a right word to say. “Bakit wala kaman lang sinabi sa akin?" I didn't expect that she will going to talk to me. She wiped awa
"This is the plan..." ipinaliwanag ni Vince ang naisip niyang plano. Medyo naguguluhan at hindi ko gaanong gets ang kaniyang paliwanag. ANg tanging naiintindiihan ko lang hindi nila ako papabayaan. "Gagamitin natin ang isang pang kotse ni Clarence..." Clarence drives the car we used earlier and he leaves first, for him to be followed by the fortuner and that is plan A. Kung hindi man siya sundan, Vince have to get into Clarence's other car and kuya Jonas and I will be left here inside the house for him to follow and that's plan B. If it doesn't work Clarence has to go back home, to pick us out. We go straight to Vince’s house and use Vince’s car just to add to the confusion of who he will follow and that is plan C. We don't know if it will be effective but we have to try. After ng ilang minuto ay tinawagan namin si Clarence at tinanong kung sinundan siya ng naka fortuner at sa hindi inaasahan hindi gumana na ang plan A at B. So, no choice, but
(Divina's POV) It's been a few days since Jacob took me to their house. I'm just at home now and lying down. If you think about it, the conversation between Jacob and his mommy, tita Aviana, also lasted for a few minutes. Habang ako ay nakaupo sa coach sa may sala. After they talked, I can see in Jacob's eyes that he was so upset. He didn't say anything, he just pulled me out of their house. He walked fast and we also quickly got into the car. We never said goodbye to Tita Aviana. I could no longer speak and I did not have the courage to ask and one more thing, I was a little surprised and confused by Jacob's actions that night. He immediately started the car and he was driving fast. I didn't even ask what they talked about even though I wanted to ask especially when I heard tita Aviana say that… ‘Hindi pweding maging kayo...’ Hindi ko alam kung kami ba ni Jacob ang tinutukoy niya. Halata kasi na wala siya sa mood, baka lalo siyang mainis at isa pa pa
