Jeron didn't mean what he said. As a matter of fact, he found Mr. Eric Asuncion to be a good man.


"That's blackmail!", Matthew exclaimed.


"I didn't start this game. You did. Kaya I'm giving you the opportunity to end it. And I suggest you end it well. Talk to your prof first thing tomorrow and we won't have any problem."


Jeron was about to go out the door when he heard the other guy's voice.


"Why are you doing this?", Matthew whispered.


"Because I can't stand the sight of her crying...
Her pain has become my pain. And I'll do whatever I can, just to see her happy.", Jeron replied firmly.


"I'm expecting some change tomorrow. Malay natin, I just might change my mind about inviting you to our wedding.", pahabol niya bago umalis.

Ngayon na rin ba ang araw na mawawalan ako ng scholarship officially?

"HUY TE! ANO NA! BUHAY KA PA BA DYAN?", Tori brought my attention back.


I turned the stove off and held my chest to catch my breath.
