Yannie Ace Ruiz

"I'm sorry, I can't join you anymore. I just sneaked out from work, so I need to go back," Ate Rica told us.

"Your job or me?" Josh asked Ate Rica.

"Of course, my job. You're just my cousin," Ate Rica replied to Josh, which made all of us laugh. "Girls, I'm sorry, okay? I'll make it up to you next time," Ate Rica said with a smile.

"No worries, Ate Rica. Take care," I replied with a smile.

"I'm leaving too," Ate Aika said with a smile, then she glanced at Ate Rica. "I'll go with you, Rics."

"Sure!" Ate Rica replied to Ate Aika. "Bye, guys!" they bid us goodbye and left.

"So, what now? Do we have somewhere to go? Any plans?" Ivory asked one after another.

Josh hinted and then spoke, "Um... I was hoping to borrow Yannie from you guys," he said, which made me turn to him.

"Huh? What do you mean? I can't leave my friends—"

"Don't worry, Yannie! Byron and I will take care of your friends. We'll escort them," Ramil interjected with a smile at me, then he glanced at

    Veron Velaz"Let's just drop off at the nearby mall. So we can just stroll," Ivory whispered to me as we followed Ramil and Byron."That sounds good," I agreed."Sigh. Josh borrowed Yannie from us. But it's okay since they don't always see each other. It's a shame Jenny isn't here, so the three of us could hang out now. It's still early," Ivory chattered, glancing at her watch. "5:45," Ivory read the time from her watch."But won't we be too late getting home? It might be traffic here in Manila, and we might have trouble getting a ride," I said to Ivory."It's okay. We don't have classes tomorrow anyway," Ivory replied, nodding gently.A few moments later, four girls approached Ramil and Byron, causing them to stop walking, and Ivory and I stopped too."Congrats, boys!""Congrats, Ramil and Byron.""You guys are awesome!"They congratulated the two with big smiles."Thank you, girls," Ramil said with a smile to the girls."Where's Josh, by the way? Did he arrive at the part

    Yannie Ace RuizMy heart continues to beat loudly as I sit inside Josh's car. He's driving, with one hand holding mine. It's as if I'll disappear from his side if he let go of me. Occasionally, I steal glances at him and see the sweet smile on his lips, melting my heart."I know a nice place to eat nearby," he breaks the silence enveloping us."Huh?""But if you have any preference for where to eat or go, just tell me."I hesitate. "I-I'm okay with anything... whatever you want.""Alright," he replies, still with a smile on his lips.After a while, Josh stops his car in front of a simple yet elegant restaurant. I immediately feel hesitant as I look at the restaurant. It seems like my outfit doesn't quite fit in there.Josh quickly get out of the car and turns to open the door for me. Before I can move to get out, he extends his hand to assist me. My heart pounds loudly as I accept his outstretched hand and finally leave his car."Let's go," his eyes gleamed with excitement dur

  • Sweetest Love (ENGLISH)   Chapter 58: Party

    Yannie Ace RuizI freely observe the surroundings and the beautiful scenery in front of me while the cool and refreshing breeze continues to embrace me. The laughter of children happily playing with their parents, the joyful conversations and laughter of friends, and the heartwarming moments of couples being together are just some of the things I repeatedly enjoy watching now, which bring peace to my heart. It feels good to be happy and to live in a way that you know you're not stepping on anyone else. In my whole life, it's only now that I've experienced feeling so small like this. And I don't know if it's a consequence because I fell in love with someone like Josh.Moments later, I felt Josh sit beside me on the bench. It's already seven in the evening, and we're currently at a People’s Park. He brought me here after we left the restaurant where we ate earlier."Here," he said, handing me a bottled juice that he had already opened for me."Thank you," I replied, gently accepting

    Yannie Ace RuizI gave Kris a small smile in response. Following that were the teasing remarks from our companions. I avoided Kris' gaze, especially when he sat in front of me, smiling and looking at me as if he was amused by the teasing from our friends. I didn't know why I suddenly felt awkward and nervous. Maybe it was because I was worried that Josh might find out Kris was here, knowing that Kris was the reason for our last argument that led to our breakup. I didn't know what Kris had said to Josh when they spoke using my cellphone, which made Josh so angry and aggressive. Yes, Josh was jealous, but I didn't think he would react so violently without reason. Between the two of them, of course, I trusted my boyfriend more. Josh didn't tell me what Kris said to him back then. He didn't want us to talk about it anymore.Minutes passed until Ma'am Cillia arrived, and we started celebrating her birthday. We sang and greeted her, then handed her our gifts."Thank you, guys, for coming!

    Yannie Ace Ruiz"Yannie!" I quickly stood up from my seat when I saw Veron, along with Jenny and Ivory, hurrying towards us. The deep concern on their faces was evident.We were currently at the hospital to treat the wounds sustained by Josh and his friends, as well as Jomar. We were brought here by the police who assisted us earlier, along with Kris and the other injured men seeking revenge against Josh."Yannie, are you okay? Huh? Are you hurt?" Ivory asked me with evident concern as they approached."I'm okay. Don't worry," I reassured them gently.Veron let out a deep sigh of relief. "That's good to hear.""Thank goodness your boyfriend arrived," Ivory remarked."By the way, where is he? Jomar? Was he also among those injured earlier?" Jenny asked, concerned."Yes. They're here," I said, leading them to where Josh and the others were. They followed me, and we were greeted by Josh, Ramil, Byron, and Jomar, all sitting on their respective hospital beds while nurses attended t

    Yannie Ace Ruiz"I thought you could go home now? Is there a problem? What did the doctor say?" I asked Josh in succession while Ramil, Byron, and Jomar remained silent, lying on their hospital beds as if they didn't mind staying in the hospital for a few more days.I glanced at Ate Rica, hoping to get some answers from her. But she just avoided my gaze as if she knew something she didn't want to tell me. I took a deep breath and turned my gaze back to Josh. "Josh...""Hmm?" Josh responded to me as if he didn't understand my questions earlier. I kept my eyes on him, waiting for his response. Eventually, he answered me. "We still need some time here because our wounds and bruises haven't healed yet.""Just because of wounds and bruises? Didn't the doctor say anything else? Were you not injured severely?" I asked him with growing concern, which slightly interrupted him and made him glance at Ramil. I furrowed my brow and glanced at Ramil, too, but they quickly avoided eye contact wit

    Yannie Ace RuizMy heart skipped a beat as I saw Josh hurrying towards me. Earlier, I was sure of my feelings. But now that I see him, it's as if I suddenly forgot everything I felt a moment ago. All I can feel now is a strange sense of joy and excitement in my heart because I see him now.As he finally approached me, he quickly kissed me. "I miss you," he said, softening my heart even more. Then, he gently pulled away from me but reached out and held both of my hands tenderly. "Have you been waiting long? I told you I'd just pick you up at your school." I didn't wait for him to pick me up at school. Instead, I decided to meet him at a mall near his place so he wouldn't have to travel too far to see me.I swallowed and slowly looked at his right arm. These are the things that have been bothering me since yesterday when I found out about his serious injury. Honestly, I don't really know what I'm feeling at first. Sadness, regret, resentment, or worry. I'm feeling all of these mixed e

    Yannie Ace Ruiz"Hey, Jenny! What happened between you and Red? Did you guys have another fight?" Ivory asked as soon as she entered the classroom."Nothing. Just leave him alone," Jenny replied lifelessly while focusing on writing."What happened exactly? He's been bugging me since last night, saying you're breaking up with him and you're not talking to him anymore," Ivory continued, pestering Jenny.Jenny stopped writing and took a deep breath. "Yes, I broke up with him. I got tired of it.""Huh?" Veron and I both reacted in surprise to Jenny's statement."My gosh, Jenny! It hasn't even been three months, and you're already tired?" Ivory lectured Jenny."What can I do? I'm just tired of him," Jenny replied."I just can't understand you. Red is such a decent guy, and yet you're letting him go. Why are you like this? Why does it seem like you treat relationships like a game? No one stays with you for long. And then what? We'll find out you're dating someone else again?" Ivory's

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.

  • 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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
