Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 31: Seatbelt
Yannie Ace RuizSince Veron and Ramil returned from scuba diving, I've noticed that they rarely argue now. Like at this moment, Ramil is helping Veron carry her belongings out of the room. It's already four in the afternoon, and everyone is busy preparing to leave."What happened?" I ask Veron as she distances herself from Ramil to retrieve her own things for the car."Huh?""Why did Ramil help you carry your stuff?""Oh, that? It's nothing. Maybe he just wanted to help," Veron replies. Just as I'm about to continue our conversation, she abruptly changes the topic. "By the way, Yannie, I think we might struggle with commuting home later.""Huh?""It's almost rush hour, and we might encounter heavy traffic.""Yes, I thought about that too. But we don't have a choice but to commute home, right?""Why don't you join us on the way home?" We both quickly turn as someone speaks from behind us. We see Ramil smiling at us."Yes, Yannie. I'll give you a ride and drop you off at Josh's
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 32: Jeepney
Veron VelazI was surprised and halted in my fast-paced walk when Ramil suddenly confronted me."W-Why?" I asked, astonished, as he stared at me intently."Why are you following me? I thought your boyfriend was supposed to take you home," he inquired."I'm not following you! Can't I have the same route?" I retorted irritably. "And, by the way, it was just a joke about going home with my boyfriend. He's too busy with other things," I added."Really? Or maybe... you just don't really have a boyfriend?" he asked with a teasing grin.I gave him a sharp look. "I don't know about you, but you better stay there!" I said before continuing to walk past him.It reminded me of the ongoing argument with my boyfriend since Friday. Up until now, he hasn't bothered to talk to me or check how I'm doing. I know him well; he has a lot of pride, so in every argument, it's always me who ends up making amends. This time, I'm not sure if I can do it again, considering that he's the one at fault in ou
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 33: Yeobo
Yannie Ace RuizI woke up to the sound of my cellphone alarm. I groggily reached for it on the bedside table to turn it off. Once I had my phone in hand and silenced the alarm, I slowly opened my eyes. A sweet smile instantly spread across my lips as I saw the unread chat messages from Josh.Josh Rain: Good morning, Yannie (smiley emoji)Josh Rain: I've had breakfast. Heading to school now. Don't forget to eat. Take care (blushing smiley emoji)Who wouldn't have a good morning waking up to messages like these from someone they like? I bit my lower lip, smiling, as I read his messages. I quickly replied to him.Me: Good morning, Josh! Take care on your way to school (blushing smiley emoji)It's been three days since Josh and I patched things up—three days since he expressed his desire to start over. Of course, I wouldn't let that opportunity slip away, especially when it was something I truly wanted. Since that day, Josh and I have been chatting regularly, just like when we first
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 34: Surprise Visit
Yannie Ace RuizTime passed quickly until all our classes were over. I was arranging my things when my cellphone rang, signaling an incoming call. At first, I thought it was Josh, but then I remembered he mentioned having something to do and would chat with me later.I took my cellphone from my skirt pocket and saw that Ate Aika was calling me. I quickly answered."I'm here at the mall, Yannie," Ate Aika greeted.We had plans to meet today so I could give her my payment for the clothes she bought for me and Veron last weekend in Cavite. I asked her yesterday when she could meet, and she said today because she had something to do in Biñan. So, we decided to meet at the mall near the school."Alright, Ate. I'm on my way. Sorry, I just finished my class," I replied to Ate Aika."No worries, Yannie. Take care on your way here. See you!" Ate Aika said sweetly before we ended the call."Now you're meeting Ate Aika?" Veron asked me."Yes. Do you want to come along?" I asked Veron.Sh
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 35: Bar
Yannie Ace RuizWith a smile, Josh opened the passenger's seat door of his car and looked at me, indicating that I should get in. I hesitated for a moment, glancing back at him. He continued to smile at me, so eventually, I moved and got inside his car.He carefully closed the door on the passenger's side and then walked around to the driver's side, getting in beside me. He started the car's engine and fastened his seatbelt. I followed suit, pulling the seatbelt from my side to secure myself. However, I was surprised when Josh suddenly leaned in to help me fasten my seatbelt."Uhm... I-I can manage," I said, trying to stop him. He paused for a moment, lifting his gaze to mine. My heart pounded loudly when our eyes met. He was so close that I almost held my breath."Even if you can, just let me do it for you," he gently replied, causing a flutter in my chest."H-Huh?" I stammered, feeling almost breathless. He flashed a sweet smile, continuing to fasten my seatbelt.Afterward, he
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 36: Wine Glass
Yannie Ace RuizAfter finishing our meal, Ate Aika ordered a ladies' drink for herself. She was the only one who ordered drinks for us, even though she tried to convince Josh to join her in drinking."I can't drink, Patty. I still have to drive," Josh responded to Ate Aika."We won't get drunk. Just a little," Ate Aika insisted."Even so, Patty. Besides, I'll be driving Yannie home," Josh said, which made my heart skip a beat."Fine then. Go ahead," Ate Aika finally gave in and took a sip of her drink."Why did you suddenly decide to drink now? It's embarrassing for Yannie," Josh reprimanded Ate Aika."It's okay. I'm fine with it," I quickly said."Did you hear that? Yannie's okay with it," Ate Aika teased Josh and stuck her tongue out.Josh just sighed and then turned his gaze towards me. "You okay?""Huh? Um... y-yes, I'm fine," I replied.Josh moved a bit closer to me and whispered, "Are you getting bored here? We can leave Patty here and let her drink alone."I'm fine,
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 37: Don’t Entertain Other Guys
Yannie Ace RuizHeat surged in the corners of my eyes as I watched Josh slowly distance himself and fade from my sight with Ate Aika. I know I shouldn't feel anything because I was the one who insisted that Josh leave me and just accompany Ate Aika. I forced him to prioritize Ate Aika. But why is it like this? Why can't I help feeling something different because of that?Josh often stirs my heart, and I often feel from him that he likes me. But why is it different now? Why does it seem like he prefers Ate Aika when he looks at her?Before my tears could completely fall because of this, I quickly turned away from them and started walking. As I walked out of the mall, I could feel Jomar following me, so I turned to face him."Why did you do that?" I asked him, referring to what happened earlier."Huh? What are you talking about?" he feigned innocence and eventually gave up, realizing that I was still staring at him. He sighed before speaking, "Why did you even go to a place like tha
Sweetest Love (ENGLISH) Chapter 38: Hospital
Josh Rain MontezEach beat of my heart feels strong as I anxiously wait for Yannie's response. It's like stepping into a job interview, unsure if I'll be accepted or not. While waiting for Yannie's reply, my feet continuously pace, almost making a complete loop around my condo."Hello? Josh?" Yannie finally answers my call. I quickly stop in my tracks and sit on my bed.I clear my throat. "Did I disturb you?" I ask her."Uh... no. Not really. I wasn't doing anything important," she replies."Are you at home?" I inquire."Uh... yes, I'm at home. I just didn't get to text earlier because Mom asked me to do something," she explains."I see..."I hear her clearing her throat on the other end. "By the way, why did you call?""Uh... I just want to ask if you're free tomorrow night," I inquire."Huh?" She responds, seemingly surprised by my question."Then, if you're free, can we meet? I have something to tell you," I told her."Uhm... w-where will we meet?""I'll fetch you from

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

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
