Epilogue

His Point Of View

Practice makes perfect, mananalo ako sa bwisit na bet na yan. Oh, what's the bet? Edi kapag nanalo ako sa race masusunod ang gusto ko pero kung hindi ako manalo, edi panalo sila at masusunod ang gusto nila.

Fuck that arrange marriage, why would they do that?

Lahat ng nangyari this week is just so crazy, may naka make out ako sa bar at mabuti hindi natuloy sa ano, at yang arrange marriage na yan, edi sana hindi na lang ako bumalik dito.

Mas lalo kong pinabilis ang takbo ng sasakyan ko habang nag p-practice dahil dun nawawala ang problema ko, when I'm done Richard called me.

"Jaze!" I still have my helmet and he's with a girl. Lumapit ako sakanila I smirked when I realized who the girl was. I approach them and take off my helmet.

"Yes?" I held my laugh when she turned around.

"Pwede mo ba patakbuhin ang kotse mo sa likod nya while training? She's the new reporter." what a coincidence. I want to tease her, revenge lang dahil sa pag bati nya sa akin ng bag nya.

Sinasadya kong bilisan ang takbo ng beautiful car ko para hindi siya makapag focus. At napairap ako nang magawa na nya nang tama.

But something about her caught my attention. I want to be her friend. Ang swerte naman nya kung ang Jaze Noolan na katulad ko ay gusto siya making friend.

And when we were alone I talked to her about what happened and we agreed na kalimutan na lang namin ang nangyari nung gabi na yun sa bar. And I want her na maging comfortable siya sa akin, alam kong naiilang siya.

I approached her and she just threw a water bottle on my freaking face! What's wrong with her? I didn't even finish my words.

She said I am the Manyakis guy from the bar daw. But the truth is Hindi ko naman talaga alam kung bakit kami nag halikan na lang bigla. Ang sungit niya sa akin and I should be annoyed right? Hindi ko maintindihan kasi parang ang saya pa, gusto ko siyang inisin pa lalo so see her cute face when she's angry.

I came home nandito na naman sila. Wala si Faye ang Mama niya. Hindi ko sila pinansin, minsan na nga lang umuwi sa bahay ganito pa.

They are talking about the race, naka kapit pa din sila sa bet namin and I am full of regret dahil tinanggap ko pa yun. That is so ridiculous.

Umupo ako sa kama ko at naalala ko ang memories naming dalawa ni Faye. She's a nice and beautiful girl. Madaming mag mamahal sakaniya. Ang pag mamahal ko sakaniya ay hindi pag mamahal na gusto niya. I love her as my friend, my childhood friend, and my sister. And I can't see myself loving her the way she wants.

She keeps denying na hindi din nya gusto ang kasal, but I know deep in her mind she wants this marriage. She's hoping, and hoping is pointless. I can't love her how she wants me to. I'm stressed and tired.

Stress and tired.

I was talking with my friend when I saw her quickly walking, I didn't understand but may sumaya sa puso ko nang makita ko siya, kinapalan ko na ang mukha ko at sinundan siya.

Ganun pa din, ang unit nya. And somehow, eating with her made me feel better. Nabawasan stress ko sa katawan, I just love her blushing face because of me, I love how she talks to me, so casual and hindi ko ramdam na iba ako. She's changing me. She's, she's an angel.

Weeks later, bukas na ang race. Matagal ko talaga pinag handaan ito, nag practice ako nang nag practice para manalo.

Habang nasa filed ay may tumawag sa akin kaya naman pinuntahan ko siya. I took off my helmet and faced her.
