Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 18: Mirage
Yannie Ace RuizSince earlier, Josh has been on my mind. I've been constantly keeping an eye on my cellphone, just in case he calls again, and I won't miss it. Eight days have passed since that first night we met. Perhaps he's still in Samar at this time, just as he mentioned to me before. Maybe that's why I can't reach him whenever I try to call.After a while, I decided to open my social media account and tried searching for him. To my surprise, I found him there. His account is activated again!I bit my lower lip and went to his timeline, where I saw his latest post from 3 hours ago.'Got a signal for a while, but still couldn’t talk to the person I want to talk to…'My heart pounded as I read that. I despise making assumptions, but this time, I admit I couldn't help but think that he might be referring to me, especially since he had a missed call from me earlier, exactly 3 hours ago.His post had over 1,000 reactions with 500-plus comments. It suddenly occurred to me how popu
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 19: Back Off
Josh Rain MontezEach beat of my heart echoes loudly as I continue driving my car. I was supposed to stay in Samar for ten days, but since our foundation's mission concluded early and successfully, we headed home earlier today.I directed my way to Las Piñas, where my car was parked, and now, I am currently traveling towards Biñan... towards Yannie.During my time in Samar, Yannie never left my thoughts. I tried to distract myself and focus on the other tasks, but whenever I had free moments, she would occupy my mind entirely. I couldn't shake off the memory of her tearful eyes because of me. With each passing hour and day, it felt like I longed to talk to her or see her. So, whenever I had a chance to find a signal in that province, I made sure to do so. And whenever my phone caught a signal, Yannie was the first person I contacted. However, I failed every time, never managing to speak to her even once in all my attempts. I started to think maybe she didn't want to talk to me anymo
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 20: Notification
Yannie Ace RuizMy cellphone rang in the midst of my busyness studying with my friends. I quickly took it from my skirt pocket and eagerly checked who was calling. I slightly bit my lower lip when I saw that it wasn't the person I expected."Who's that? Why do you seem disappointed?" Jenny asked when she noticed I was just staring at my cellphone's screen."Huh? I'm not disappointed," I quickly replied and answered the call. I stood up from my seat and moved a bit away from my friends."Hello, Yannie?" Ate Rica greeted me from the other line."Hello, Ate," I responded."Are you busy right now, Yannie? Did I disturb you with my call?""No, Ate. We don't have classes yet," I quickly replied. "Why did you call?""In that case, can you come out for a moment?""What?""I'm in front of your school. You're in PUP Biñan, right?""W-What are you doing here?" I asked Ate Rica in amazement over the phone."I passed by a friend, so I thought of dropping by to see you, too," she replied
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 21: Reject Others
Josh Rain Montez"Why didn't you tell me that you guys were coming? I could have picked you up," I said to Sissy and Patty while they were both busy eating. I reached for my bottled water on the table and took a sip. We had just finished our basketball practice when they suddenly called me to say they were here on campus."It's okay. Don't worry about it," Sissy replied, taking a sip of her milk tea. We were currently at the campus food court, having snacks. They quickly entered because the guards and professors here already knew them through me.I grinned at Sissy after placing my bottled water on the table. "What's up? Especially when you hate driving, so you always bother me every time you need to go somewhere, right?" I teased Sissy. "You constantly beg me to be your driver," I added."Yeah, I know that, Josh. But we had to pass by somewhere earlier with Aika," Sissy replied. "And besides, it's been a while since the two of us went out alone, right, Aika?" she added, glancing a
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 22: Resort
Yannie Ace Ruiz"Are you sure I shouldn't have you picked up there?" Ate Rica asked me from the other end of the line. We were currently having a conversation over the phone."Yes, Ate. We can just commute," I replied to Ate Rica."Alright, then. Just update me when you get there, okay? Take care.""Sure, Ate." I put my cellphone back in my bag after our call."I wish you had just agreed to let them pick us up," Veron complained to me."Let's not. We'll just take public transportation. It might bother Ate Rica," I replied."But we don't even know exactly where the resort is," Veron pointed out."We can ask around when we get there," I suggested, and we continued walking until we finally boarded a Jeep.The island resort for Ate Rica's party is in Cavite. It's a pool party, so Veron and I brought a slightly large bag with our swimwear. It's already 10 in the morning, and they're already there while Veron and I are still on our way. It would not be very pleasant to ask them to p
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 23: Stunned
Josh Rain MontezI yawned several times as if something was pulling the corners of my eyes, urging them to close. Despite the temptation to shut them, I resisted, repeatedly blinking until my cellphone rang, interrupting the quiet moment. I quickly answered the call while driving."Why?" I asked Sissy as soon as I picked up."Where are you?" she inquired."I'm on my way to pick up Patty," I responded."You're probably late in leaving home earlier," she blamed."The party doesn't start until later tonight—""Did you think I wouldn't know? You came home in the wee hours last night with Ramil. That's why you're sleep-deprived now," she continued with her sermon.I sighed. Ramil was always so loyal to Sissy that I ended up taking the fall. "And you believe too much in what Ramil—""Oh, Josh. I'm telling you. You might have an accident on the road because of your drowsiness. Call me when you reach Aika's place. I'll have Rodnie pick you up—""No need, Sissy," I quickly cut her off
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 24: Room
Josh Rain Montez"Oh, that's Rica!" Patty happily said beside me. "Oh? Yannie?!" she added before walking towards Sissy. Yannie blinked and quickly averted her gaze from me. "Happy birthday, Rics!" Patty greeted Sissy joyfully, and they embraced."Good thing Josh brought you here safely," Sissy commented, shooting me a glance."Of course, Josh is always careful when he drives with us," Patty said, then turned her gaze to Yannie. "Hi, Yannie! Glad to see you here!""Hello," Yannie replied simply to Patty."Bro! She has the same name as your former textmate, that Yannie!" Byron approached and whispered to me."Stupid! That's her," Ramil retorted to Byron."Really?""Let's go inside!" Sissy invited everyone, holding Yannie's hand. Before pulling her away, she gave me a sharp look as if warning me not to cause any trouble with her friend.In the end, I just scratched my head as they all went inside."You didn't know she was coming?" Ramil asked me."No," I simply replied."So,
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 25: Beach Outfit
Yannie Ace Ruiz"H-Huh?" I was completely stunned and speechless in front of Josh while we were close to each other, and he was holding one of my hands. Suddenly, I felt weakness in both knees, unsure if the beating of my heart inside my chest was still normal. I worried that he might hear the loud thumping noise it was making.Josh cleared his throat, meeting my gaze with a penetrating look. Finally, he spoke again, "This is your room, so I should be the one to leave." He said softly, releasing my hand gently. He slowly moved away from me and then quickly turned around and exited the room.Once he left, I could finally breathe normally. It was as if I had just released a breath I didn't know I was holding. I didn't understand why he was here inside. I was surprised when I entered, finding him lying down and asleep on the bed. I didn't intend to wake him or disturb his rest, but seeing him here caught me off guard, and I couldn't help but let out a loud gasp.I gently tapped my for

"Oh my gosh! This is it, girls! Finally!" Ivory exclaimed happily as she approached us."Yes, finally! Can you believe it? We all made it here," Jenny added."I'm so proud of us, girls! Finally, this is it! Congratulations to all of us!" Veron chimed in joyfully.I smiled sweetly at my friends. "Congrats to us. I'm so happy and proud of all of us," I said as we gathered for a group hug.Two fast-paced years have passed, and finally, one of the most awaited days has arrived. The day when we would march together to mark the end of our studies. Yes, today is our graduation day, and my heart is bursting with overwhelming joy. All the exhaustion, sleepless nights, hardships, and sacrifices are finally paying off.I still remember the part-time jobs my friends and I took on just to support ourselves and our families.

Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Epilogue:
"Yannie..." Ramil uttered my name with a hint of concern when he saw me entering Josh's room.I looked at him questioningly until my gaze landed on Josh's empty bed. My brows furrowed slightly."Where's Josh?" I asked Ramil and Byron. The two took a deep breath, and I could see the worry and concern on their faces. It seemed like they had something to tell me but were hesitant. "Why? Did something happen? Where is Josh?" I asked again.Before answering, the two exchanged glances, seemingly urging each other to respond. Eventually, Ramil met my eyes and spoke. "Josh left. We caught up to him, but... he wouldn't be stopped.""Huh? What do you mean he left? Where did he go? Did he go home? Was he discharged?" I asked, confused and bombarding them with questions."He insisted on being discharged by his doctor. He left and went to the airport... to chase after Arriane," Ramil replied."H-Huh?""Arriane told him she was continuing her studies abroad. So, he hurried off to the airport to cat
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 110: True Love
Yannie Ace Ruiz"Nice! Nice try, bro. But drop that joke," Ramil broke the silence that enveloped us after Josh asked who I was."What try? What joke?" Josh asked Ramil, confused."Bro—""I'm serious. Who is she? Who are they?" Josh pointed at me and Veron."Get it together, bro. This isn't funny—""You get it together," Josh quickly interrupted Byron, then looked at me again. His gaze was far different from how he used to look at me. It was as if my presence confused him deeply. It was as if he had forgotten everything about me—everything about us.Because of those looks, my heart immediately grew heavy. I couldn't explain what I felt at first."Son!" Josh's parents suddenly arrived. "How are you, son? How are you feeling now?" his father quickly asked."I'm okay, Dad. I just... don't understand why I'm here," Josh replied to his father."You don't remember... what happened?" Josh's mother asked in confusion."I can't," Josh answered simply, which made my heart feel even heavier and
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 109: Forget
Yannie Ace Ruiz"Rhiana..."I quickly wiped away my tears and just as quickly let go of Josh's hands when I heard Ate Rica's voice.My heart immediately pounded with anxiety as I slowly straightened up and turned to face them. There, I met the gaze of Josh's mom. I struggled to swallow because it felt like the words I wanted to say were fighting to come out of my lips. I didn't know how to start apologizing to her for being here now.I knew I had promised her before that I would never show myself to her son again. I had promised her before that I would disappear from Josh's life, but... here I am now, crying in front of her son. It was as if, in an instant, all the promises I had made to her and my determination back then had suddenly crumbled. I wanted to kneel before her again and beg for her to let me be with Josh.I struggled to swallow again before starting to speak. "S-Sorry," I said weakly while trying to hold back my tears. "I just wanted to make sure Josh is okay." I looked d
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 108: Unconscious
Yannie Ace Ruiz"No! No, Yannie! No!" Josh cried repeatedly, holding me tightly in his arms."J-Josh..." I managed to say with difficulty. I forced myself to utter his name despite the intense pain caused by the bullet wound."Don't leave me, Yannie. Just hang in there, okay? You can do it, Yannie. Please, don't give up!" Josh kept crying to me."D*mn it! How did she get away from you? You idiots!" I heard the man who shot me yelling at his men."You bastard! I'll kill you!" Josh shouted angrily at the man."I'm the one who's going to kill you! Thank your girlfriend for taking the bullet that was meant for your head! If she hadn't done that, you would be dead by now, and she would be crying over you. But don't worry, you won't be around much longer because I'm going to finish you off too." The man pointed the gun at Josh again.I swallowed with difficulty, feeling my breathing become labored."D-Don't..." I whispered weakly, trying to protect him."Wow. That's touching. You love this
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 107: The Revenge
Yannie Ace RuizMy tears continue to flow incessantly while my chest keeps rising and falling with the intense anxiety I'm feeling right now. I hold my breath as if exhaling freely might bring something wrong upon me, even though I'm just sitting inside this car.I don't know how many minutes or hours have passed since these men took me. I don't know who they are or why they are doing this to me. Over and over again, I replay in my mind if I have wronged someone."We're here," said the man in front of his companions. He stopped the car, and they got out one by one.The man beside me opened the car door and stepped out, giving me a sharp look. "Get out," he commanded.I struggled to swallow and looked around at where we were. It was dark surroundings, but I could see tall grasses around us, with a large warehouse in front of us."Get out, I said," the man repeated his order."Who are you? Where are you taking me? What are you going to do to me?" I asked fearfully, one question after an
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 106: In Danger
Josh Rain MontezArriane stood quietly in front of me after seeing whoever arrived inside the coffee shop where we were."Aunt..." she said as the footsteps approached us.I lifted my emotionless gaze to the person who came closer and faced me. I could see the deep concern on her face as she looked at me, as if afraid of what I might do after learning the truth from Arriane. Her throat moved repeatedly as tears seemed about to fall."I'm sorry, Aunt," Arriane broke the silence. "I did everything, but... he's truly, madly, and crazy in love with that girl. With Yannie," she said to Mommy, then sadly walked out of the coffee shop, leaving us behind.I avoided looking at Mommy and lifelessly stood and turned away from her. I was about to step away, but she quickly stopped me and blocked my path. "Josh..." she said my name. I didn't respond and instead continued walking past her. But I stopped when she spoke again. "Aren't you going to ask me about what you've learned?"I smirked sarcasti
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 105: The Truth
Josh Rain Montez"Bro, that's enough. You've had way too much to drink," Ramil interrupted me as he reached for the alcohol I was drinking. But I quickly pulled it away from him."I'm okay, Bro. I'm not drunk yet.""But, Bro, you've been here drinking for a while now. And you've been doing nothing else but drinking for days. You might get into trouble.""Yeah, Bro. Who knows what might happen to you with all this," Byron added.I took another sip of my drink and replied to them, "Whatever happens to me, it's probably better than this.""Bro, that's enough. You're drunk," Ramil intervened again, successfully taking the alcohol away from me this time."What the heck? Why are you so persistent? Why are you meddling?" I snapped at him, getting annoyed as I stood up."Easy, Bro!" Byron said to me."You're already drunk, so stop drinking—""Damn it! So what if I'm already drunk? Why do you have to interfere? Can't you just leave me alone?!"Ramil took a deep breath and looked at me wearily
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 104: The Mother’s Love
Josh Rain Montez"Are you drunk again?" Mom started as soon as I walked into the house. But I ignored her and continued walking past her. "Seriously, Josh? Until when are you going to behave like this just because of that worthless girl?!" I stopped walking after she said those words. "She's gone, Josh. She left you, but you're still wallowing because of her!"I slowly faced Mom. "Have you been in love, Mom?" I asked gently, which seemed to stun her momentarily."What?""You know what, Mom? I've always wondered if you've ever been in love with Dad. Because every time I look at both of you, I don't see love between you."Her jaw clenched. "Stop talking nonsense, Josh. Don't drag me and your Dad into your drama.""I guess you've never been in love. That's why you're like this, maybe because you've never experienced loving someone, especially getting hurt." My vision started to blur as tears threatened to escape from me.Several days have passed since Yannie blatantly rejected me, but un
