JAGS (Just Another Gangster's Story)

[31] "GETTING THERE"

"..though our love is sacred,

though our bond is sharp as a bullet,

just keep from me a secret,

and my trust will be depleted.."

"I'm going to shop later, babe.." paalam ko kay Johann. We're talking on the phone right now. May two day convention na kailangan niyang puntahan sa Cebu.. Wala namang rule sa relationship namin na kailangang magpaalam sa isa't isa sa mga gagawin namin. But we do it willingly. Parang it's a natural thing for both of us. Yan ang isa sa mga gusto ko kay Johann. He's honest. And sabi ni mom at dad, honesty is one of the greatest components for a succesful relationship.

"Okay. Mag start na din ang convention mayang 9am.. You take care ha. Sayang, wala ako diyan para samahan ka."

"It's alright.. Magfocus ka na lang sa convention. Di ba, importante yan para sa future mo.."

"Correction to that. It's ours, babe. Para sa future nating dalawa.."

"Talaga, babe?" Gosh! Kasama pala ako sa future niya? Isn't that romantic?

"Opo. Don't tell me, hindi ka pa sigurado sa akin? Aba naman, Kelly Jane! Samantalang ako, kasama ka sa lahat ng plans ko for the future.."

"Oops.. It's not like that. Syempre kasama ka sa future ko. It's just that, parang it's too early to tell. Natatakot ako, Johann. Paano kung di mangyari ang mga plans natin?"

Nadinig kong bumuntong hininga si Johann sa kabilang line.. I even heard the sound of papers being shuffled. And according to the footsteps of him, i figured out na tumayo siya at lumakad palabas sa balcony ng suite niya. I bit my lower lip awkwardly. Alam kong seryosong usapan na naman ang kakauwian nito.

"Listen babe.. I know it's too early to tell. I know we're both young at the moment. But Kelly, you're the first one who invaded my heart like this. At di ko yun ipagwawalang bahala na lang. I've been looking forward to a bright future with you. Every decision that i'll make will depend on both of us. Babe, wag kang mag isip ng mga negative thoughts, palulungkutin ka lang niyan. Remember this, i truly madly deeply love you. I really love you so much na kahit after a year when we both turn to legal age, pakakasalan na kita.."

"Johann naman eh.. Wag ka nga.." natatawang sabi ko sa kanya. Pakakasalan daw niya ako.

"I'm serious, babe. You're the one i'm going to marry at wala ng iba pa.. In the near future, you will be Mrs. Angeles.."
