Virtue of Love in Mendiola (Manila Series #1)

Chapter 21

"Love the spirit!" Ali said while covering her mouth out of shock. Hindi ko napansin na lumapit sila ni Allen dito. Nang tignan ko si Jazen ay gulat din siya sa sinabi ko ganoon din ang grupo ng babaeng nagpapapicture sa kanya.

"If you'd excuse us." I said tsaka ko hinawakan si Jazen sa braso at naglakad palabas ng court. Sumunod din sa amin si Ali at Allen.

"That was.. mindblowing!" Allen said.

"You nailed it, girl!" said Ali.

"I know right. Guys, ako lang 'to." sabi ko at nagulat ako nang hatakin ako ni Jazen palayo kanila Ali. Dinala niya ako malapit sa entrance ng court na hindi gaano kalayo kanila Ali.

"What you said earlier.." Jazen said. "Do you—"

"Yes, I mean that." I said.

"So does that mean..?" Jazen asked.

"Yep, Mr. Falcon. What you're thinking right now is absolutely right." I said then he hugged me tight. I can feel his excitement right now.

"I love you, Ara! You've just made me the happiest guy alive! Thank you!" he said then he kissed me on my forehead.

"You don't have to thank me, Jaze. In the first place, it's you who should be thanked. Thank you, for letting me be a part of your life." I said then I saw a smile on his lips which made me smile as well.

"You deserve it, Ara. You deserve all the love the world could ever give." said Jazen.

"You too, Jaze. You're more than an answered prayer and a dream come true." I said and that made him smile once more. I then saw his smile fade kaya nagtaka ako. "Jaze, Why?"

"Nasan I love you too ko?" he said then I chuckled. "Don't laugh at me."

"Oh God, this guy's a total hottie and a total cutie!" I said habang pinipigilan ang tawa ko. "I love you so much, my love." i then hugged him.

"Luh wow? Anong meron dito? Belong pa ba kami ni Ali?" tanong ni Allen na kakalapit lang kasama si Ali.

"Hashtag felt betrayed." Ali said.

"Tangang 'to." natatawang sabi ko. Pagtapos ng usapan namin ay umuwi na kami. Nang makarating kami sa parking ay naghiwalay na kami dahil kasabay ko umuwi si Ali. Pagdating namin sa bahay ay nag-ayos lang ako tsaka ako nagpahinga sa kwarto ko. Sa kalagitnaan ng pagpapahinga ko ay biglang pumasok si Ali na hindi at naturuan paano kumatok.

"Walang pinto, girl?" tanong ko.

"I invited Jack and Jill to come over later night for a chill." Ali said while sitting on my bed side.

"Who the hell is Jack?" I asked.

"Duh girl. Ofcourse, Jade!" Ali said tsaka ko siya binato ng unan.

"Alam mo, ang corny mo. Lumayas ka sa kwarto ko, please lang." sabi ko at tsaka naman lumabas si Ali sa kwarto ko. Kinuha ko ang phone ko sa taas ng table tsaka ko tinext si Jazen para sabihan siya.
