Dawn of the Lion

章 30

"When are we going to tell our parents that we got back together?" 

I stared at him, waiting for his answer. We're having a date tonight, just the two of us. Helene was at home with Yaya and Nathan. We like to spend our time together again, kaya isang linggo kaming puro night dates.

"I don't think they should know pa," He leaned his elbows on the table. "We're not kids anymore, we can make decisions for ourselves. We're free from them," He added.

"But still," I shrugged my shoulders. "They are still our parents, what if we're going to get married na?" I asked.

"Uy, excited." Jacques chuckled. "Hindi pa nga 'ko nagpopropose sa'yo ulit e'! Napaghahalataan," Siningkitan niya pa 'ko ng mata.

"I know it will happen naman! So, ano nga?" I rolled my eyes. "We should tell them kahit through dinner man lang," I added.

"Okay, okay!" He just nodded while chuckling. 

During our dates together, we are just ignoring the people who's just giving negative vibes to us. People online, people that we passed by, and the people around us. I learned that I should just focus with myself and my loved-ones. I won't think of the other people's opinion and their negative words. They are just a barrier to my goals. They are just the people who's nosy about other people's life because they are too loser to make their life exciting and amazing as mine.

We spent a week together and sometimes, he's visiting Helene at home. Pero ni isang beses, hindi pa sila nagkakasalubong ni Nathan. There's no problem with that naman. It's just, I need to tell Nathan about our relationship, he deserves to know about it. That we got back together. Lalo na sa parents naming dalawa na walang ka-alam alam sa mga nangyayari sa amin.

"Do you think they will agree with us?" I asked him as I played his hand with my hands. We were just lying on the sala couch. Nakapatong pa ang legs ko sa dalawang hita niya at nakasandal ang ulo ko sa may dibdib niya. Si Helene, tinitingnan lang naming maglaro kasama si Yaya.

It's Jackie's day-off today and he decided to spend his day with us.

"Wala naman silang karapatan kwestyonin 'yong pagmamahal ko sa'yo e'," He caressed my hair as he trace my hand using his thumb. "Wala naman silang magagawa e', atsaka kung 'di man sila pumayag, we can still sign the marriage contract," He gave me a convincing smile.

"Hindi na ba nila tayo paghihiwalayin ulit?" I asked.

"Hindi na. Never. All is stable already." He nodded. "We can just let them know and right after that, we can just leave. Atleast, alam na nila." He added.

"Okay, ikaw na bahala." I told him.

"I got you," He kissed my temple. 

Both of us really prepared for that day, he told me that he will just pick me up. I was wearing a beige sweater tucked-in a light brown pants partnered with a white shoes. I also have my body bag and watch. I tied up my hair into ponytail. Kami lang naman ni Jacques ang aalis, si Helene maiiwan lang kay Yaya.
