"Sinabi niyang gusto ka niya? weh?. Baka naman nanaginip ka lang?" Kelsey asked her while they're walking inside the mall. Maine can't still recover from RJ's revelation yesterday, and since she heard those words come out of his mouth ... things have never been the same.
"Oo nga, ilang beses ko ba dapat sabihin sa'yo na nandun si Mamita nung sinabi niya yun?. Di ako tulog Kelsey." she answered before letting out a sigh.
"Fine, sayo na si Papa RJ. Pero .... bakit di pa kayo pakasal?"
"Pakasal? agad agad? my gosh Kelsey." she replied, blushing.
"Bakit? Maine, di ba sabi niya gusto ka niya? ... eh gusto mo rin naman siya ... kaya bakit di pa kayo pakasal?"
Maine was going to say something but then two familiar faces approached them. Her heart skipped a beat after seeing their raised eyebrows ... it's their two gossiper female classmates.
Rhea and Cassie are notorious when it comes to collecting rumors. And now that they saw Maine with a baby bump, she's pretty sure the news will reach everyone she's acquainted with.
"Oh my gosh Maine, you're really pregnant huh?. Kaya pala ang bilis mo nawala nung graduation, ayaw mong may makapansin." Rhea told her with a huge smirk on her face.
"Eh ano naman ngayon kung buntis siya?. Kayo talaga nag-graduate na nga tayong lahat ganiyan pa din kayo." Kelsey replied, defending her.
"Oh my gosh, are we even talking to you?" Cassie annoyingly asked her.
"Hoy, ako wala akong panahon para mapag-tsimisan niyong dalawa ah. Tigilan niyo ako." Maine warned the two intrusive girls before pulling Kelsey by the arm away from them.
"Okay! we'll make sure everyone knows!" Rhea yelled.
Maine stopped, turned and walked back to them.
"Do that and I swear I will sue the two of you. Rhea, di ka pa ba nagsasawa? at ikaw naman Cassie? bago ka malunod sa chismis inayos mo man lang sana yung panga mong sobrang laki."
Their conversation caught the attention of the people around them. Maine can feel the weight of their stares and so she backed off and walked away while the two girls are still speechless.
"Best, ano ka ba? Hindi mo naman ako inorient na may pagka-Braguda ka pala." Kelsey whispered.
"Ugh. Umalis na lang tayo, nakakabwisit sila."

RJ wasn't able to sleep properly because of the things he said yesterday. For the first time in his life, his emotions completely took over him in a positive way.
The words he told Maine came from his heart. The past couple of months they spent together changed everything he first saw in her. She's different ... but a good kind of different. And for once, RJ felt like he is on the right path.
The young guy spent years looking for someone that can be his anchor, someone that will pull him back whenever he goes to the edge of craziness, someone that will control him, and finally ... he got that.
A smile appeared on his face while he's looking at their picture. He then heard a knock on the door and so he opened it, only to see Maine 's Dad on the other side.
"Oh, tito ... pasok po." he said right away.
"Uh, hindi na. RJ ... uhhh .... papatulong lang sana ako eh."
"Ano po yun? Tungkol sa kotse? di ba po four months pa bago siya mag birthday?" RJ asked him.
"Hindi yun ... ano kasi .. fiesta na bukas ... magpapatulong sana kami magluto at mag-ayos kung okay lang?"
