All Chapters of Once In A Lifetime: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

"Okay, so who is Akiro Mendez?" Tanong ni Terrence sa kabilang linya.Napa-buga na lang ako ng hangin at umirap, "Do you really ask this kind of question to your client?" Sarkastiko kong tanong.May nakaka-salubong pa akong mga estudyante pero sa tuwing titignan ko sila ay umiiwas sila ng tingin. Am I Medusa now?Binalewala ko na iyon at narating ang service car at pinag-buksan ako ni manong. I hop in and I heard Terrence's laugh.This bastard is my first love, Cosmo even saw me being broken hearted because of this jerk when he announce that he will getting married with Thalia."I apologize, my lady. I will send you the files for his information as soon as possible." Biglang pormal na saad nito."Yeah, I'll send the payment to your bank account." Saad ko at ibinaba ang telepono.Mabuti na lang at hindi masakit ang sugat ko sa paa. I got that wound by running towards August and Cosmo's direction.I was afraid that A

I gasp, anong ginagawa ni Cosmo rito?! He must be crazy!Naramdaman ko ang pagtingin ni Akiro at ni Lola Vernia sa akin kaya nag mamadali kong itinago ang cellphone sa bulsa."Hinahanap ka na?" Nag aalalang tanong ni Akiro.Nahihiya akong um-oo pero nag aalala ako kay Cosmo. He's waiting for me in the alley of this street at baka tirahin siya ng mga tambay.He can fight but I don't wamna risk it.Mahinang napa-kamot ako sa aking noo at tumango.I smiled apologeticaly, "Yes, uh, sorry po, Lola Vernia. I have to go home na po." Nahihiya kong saad.Damn, Cosmo! Why does he have to go here?!Naka-ngiting umiiling si Lola Vernia, "Wala iyon, hija. Salamat nga pala sa cake at isda. Sobrang salamat." Saad niya ng may ngiti at hinawakan ang aking kamay."Akiro, apo, ihatid mo siya, may sundo ka ba?" Tanong ni Lola Vernia at tumayo mula sa hapag.Nahihiya akong tumango at ngumiti. I bid farewell to Lola Vernia and went out

Natahimik ang lahat. Maski si manang na abala sa pagluluto at huminto upang tignan kung sino ang dumating.Maging si Ryle na kalaro si Eve ay natahimik, maging si Reagan ay awkward lang na naka-tayo sa gilid ng sofa.It was the Buenaventuras. Their presence screams power that Caliber's family was intimidated. The two boys are both serious and poker faced while tita Delilah was smiling sweetly while her arm was hooked on her husband's arm.They are just wearing their casual clothes but they all looked elegant.Nagka-tinginan kami ni Cosmo at agad na namula ang pisngi ko, naalala ko na naman ang nangyari kagabi!At kapag naalala ko ang nangyari kagabi, kinikilig ako!"I didn't know that their engagement was cancelled?" Pag-uulit pa ni tito Gregory and went to Caliber to give a manly hug.They were quite close, I guess?Tinapik ni Caliber ang balikat ni tito Gregory."Azarius was just bluffing, you guys can sit. Malapit nan

I can't straightly look at Akiro's eyes. Damn Cosmo. How dare him say that we're currently making out yesterday at the phone to Akiro?!"Uh, why did you want to see me?" Tanong ko, at ibinaling nag tingin sa maliit na vase na may lamang bulaklak sa harap ko.We are at a quiet yet aesthetical restaurant. Sinulyapan ko ng tingin si Cosmo na nasa pangalawang lamesa mula sa amin at tahimik na nag babasa ng libro.Napa-ngiwi na lang ako. He did not let me go here without him. Narinig ko ang pag-buntong hininga ni Akiro."Gusto ko lang mag-pasalamat ulit. Sobrang natuwa si Lola dahil sa uh pag-dating mo." Nag-alangan pa si Akiro na sabihin ang nasa dulo.Those words touched my heart and made me look at him. I smiled widely."Natuwa rin ako sa mga ginawa ko and I had fun spending some time with you, no need to thank me like I did something so heroic." Saad ko at ikinawag ang kamay para balewalain ang sinabi ni Akiro.Ang isa rin

In the middle of the pouring rain, I poured my heart and soul to him..... to Cosmo.Cosmo immediately pulled me into a hug. "This love...... happens just once in a lifetime, and I want to spend my lifetime with you." He whispered to my ear.Thaddeus and Graziel's lovestory was famous in La Oreña. Kung buhay pa sana si Graziel, malamang may anak na sila ng bokalistang si Thaddeus. Pero noong dapat mag pproppose na si Thaddeus, na-aksidente ito at namatay.I was an avid fan of the band Catastrophe, kaya alam ko ang mga ito.They are the perfect example of 'the one that got away'. Ayokong maging kagaya nila that's why I grab this oppurtunity.Hindi ko rin kakayanin kung mawawala sa akin si Cosmo. Ginawa ko ang lahat para hindi mahulog, pero tila may sariling isip ang puso ko at si Cosmo ang napili nito.Basang-basa kami ng ulan nang umuwi, unlike other boys, walang pakialam si Cosmo kung nababasa ang leather ng upuan niya dahil basa ang
