Chapter 32

He hugged me tightly after hearing those words. This moment will forever be in my heart. Jonas is my first boyfriend and hopefully he will be my last.

"Congratulations!" Sigaw ni Joaquin. Napailing si Joshmer.

Sabay-sabay kaming bumalik sa loob, magkatabi kami ni Jonas habang nasa tapat namin ang dalawa. They also ordered a food for us.

"Iwanan mo na agad pinsan namin, unfair." Pagbibiro ni Joaquin. Kaagad siyang sinamaan ni Jonas.

"Hindi naman ako nang-iiwan, baka siya pa nga ang mang-iwan sa akin e." Pagbibiro ko. Kaagad sumimangot si Jonas sa sinabi ko.

"Hey! Why are you already talking about that? Common guys, it's your first day!" Gulat ako sa energy na binigay sa amin ni Joshmer ngayon kumpara noong nag La Union kami.

"You looked happy huh? Did she give you a chance?" Tanong ni Jonas bilang pang-aasar. Ngumisi si Joshmer kaya napailing si Jonas.

"How about you? Kuya Joaquin? Did you find her already?" Ngising pang-aasar ni Joshmer sa katabi niya.

"Hindi mo mahahanap ang taong ayaw magpahanap." Ulit ni Joaquin, napalitan ng seryosong mukha at hindi mabasa ang ekspresyon ni Joaquin.

I changed the topic dahil mukhang wala na sa mood si Joaquin. Kaya I tried the lightest topic, tungkol sa school.

Ganon nangyari ang first day namin. If Jonas became extra sweet when he confessed to me. Now, Jonas became extra supreme sweet.

We video call on new year. Sabay rin kaming mage-enroll napag-usapan nanamin iyon.

"How's new year's eve?" Tanong ni Jonas sa akin sa screen. Kina kuya Nathan kami mag new year, nasa kuwarto ako ni ate Nathalie ngayon na kasalukuyang nasa veranda dahil may kausap din sa phone.

"So far, it's good. How about you?" Kakatapos lang kasi ng alas dose kaya nandito na kami sa kuwarto.

Hindi pa kilala nina mama si Jonas. Hindi ko rin alam kung alam na ba ni kuya Nathan na kami na ni Jonas, hindi siya nagtatanong, nang-aasar lang siya.

I guess his family doesn't know about us either. And it's really like high school stuff, we're not legal in our family. I don't even know what his mother's name nga e.

"It's good. We talked about our kuyas engagement that they both called off." He said. Kumunot ang noo ko dahil sa sinabi niya.

"Huh? Why?" Nagtatakang tanong ko. I didn't know that Joaquin and Joshmer were once engaged.

"Actually, kuya Joaquin called it off for about years already. The new one is kuya Josh." Kuwento niya. "You know, love always win but of course there's always a consequence."

"How about you? Hindi ka pa ba engage? What will you do if they fix marriage you with someone?" Maingat na tanong ko. Sa loob ng anim na buwan naming pagsasama hindi namin napag-usapan ang bagay na iyan.

"I told you, love always wins." He assures me with his words but I don't know why I feel this way.

"Love will not always win." Kontra ko sakaniya.

Not everyone has a happy ending even if they deserve one. And that's one of the reason how fuck our lives is.

"It is always on the person if the person is willing to fight for love." Seryosong wika niya sa akin. Nakikita ko sa screen kung gaano kaseryoso ang mukha niya habang nakatitig dito "Don't you have trust in me?"

"Of course I have." Of course but what's with me to disobey his family? Nothing. We don't have business like others. I'm not Chinese.

But just like I said, I trust him.
