Her Asset

Epilogue

What a great destiny, baby.

I saw her eyes widen when she saw me.

Naaalala niya ba ako? Pero mukhang malabo 'yon dahil hindi niya naman nakita ang mukha ko.

They introduced themselves to us. "Ako naman si Fatima. Heto naman si Migs, Julianna, Keith, and Amery."

Amery…

What a beautiful name you have! But I think it's better to call you baby. I spent my day with her. She's my partner while riding those rides. I'm content watching her secretly.

"Boyfriend mo ba 'yon?" Nakita ko na kausap niya ang Darrell na 'yon. He's from the ABM strand as well.

Umiling siya. "Hindi, alam mo namang wala akong boyfriend."

I asked her a few more questions, and I'm satisfied because she doesn't like that Darrell.

We have a Valentine's Day party at our university. I want to ask Amery to be my date. But I got annoyed when Darrell wanted to date Amery as well.

"Kung sino ang mananalo, siya ang i d-date ko."

That's easy, baby. I will win the game for you. I don't want to see her dating Darrell at that event.

"Now I have another reason to win this game."

Mas lalo akong ginanahan maglaro. Bawat pasok ko sa bola ay si Amery ang iniisip ko. The game ended, and we won. I smirked while glancing at Amery. I won't let any men take you away from me, baby.

"Ikaw si Ivan, 'di ba?" 

I nodded. "Why?" 

"Marriage booth po, nag-bayad si Claire sa amin." The other one replied to me. My jaw clenched because I was annoyed. I know that Claire likes me. 

Tumanggi ako sa kanila. Sinabi kong babayaran ko na lang ang binayad na pera ni Claire sa kanila. 

"Parang sayang naman ang pera na ibabayad mo sa amin. Wala ka bang gustong pakasalan? Marriage booth lang naman."

Well, I want to marry Amery, but in church.

"Ikasal nyo siya kay Amery!" Laurence shouted. 

I'm not really annoyed with him because of what he did. Because me and Amery got married in a marriage booth. Don't worry, baby. I will marry you in church when the right time comes.

I invited Amery to attend Sunday service in church. This was really my first time inviting someone to attend Sunday service. I was really happy the moment she said yes.

I want her to meet God before she meets the real me.

We planned to take a break from acads. We are here at a private resort. We'll stay overnight here.

Naglaro kami ng truth or dare. Ayaw ko talagang sumali, pero baka masabihan ako ng killjoy kapag hindi ako sumali.

Fatima dared Amery to tell the section of her crush. "S-stem ang strand." 

Who's that guy, baby? I can feel my heart slowly breaking. But I will do everything to win her. 

Nang tumapat naman ang bote sa akin ay si Laurence ang nagtanong. Umiling na lang ako dahil tungkol kay Amery na naman ang itatanong nito.

"Ang sabi mo, hindi ka pa ready sa commitment kaya hindi mo pa nililigawan si Ms. ABM. So, my question is. If I'm going to ask you the same question, Is your answer going to stay the same?"

"My answer is...no." 

"So may chance na ligawan muna si Ms. ABM bago ka makapag-doctor?" Kent asked.
