Written In Reverse

Part 31

DEANNA'S POV

For the past few days, I've been trying to build up that momentum again. So I can ask Jema kung ano na ba talaga kami.

But andaming hadlang. Yung asungot na Lexie na yon and my family.

I understand that mom is just being protective but she doesn't know Jema that well yet. If I could just convince her to give Jema a chance, I'm pretty sure magkakasundo naman sila.

Kailangan ko lang talagang siguraduhin na okay na sya bago ko pa man dalhin si Jema ulit sa Cebu.

Ayoko namang isalang sya dun ng walang kalaban laban.

"B punta lang ako kila ate Lucy saglit" paalam ni Jema habang nagluluto ako.

"Okay b. Matagal tagal pa din to maluto" sagot ko.

Eto na. This is my chance habang wala si Jema.

After maluto ng pagkain, I arranged the table na para kaming nasa restaurant. Nilagyan ko ng bulaklak sa gitna and I lit some candles.

Sakto may wine din sa ref.

She's gonna be so surprised when she comes back.

Sinubukan ko syang antayin pero ang tagal nya kaya napag pasyahan kong sunduin sya kila ate Lucy.

Pinatay ko muna ang mga kandila bago ako umalis.

"Good evening po ate Lucy, kuya Dencio. Andito pa rin po ba si Jema?" tanong ko sa kanila.

"Ha? Hindi naman naka daan dito ija. Halika muna't mag hapunan." sagot ni kuya.

"Ah sige salamat po. Hanapin ko po muna si Jema"

"Oh sya sige. Mag ingat ka ha."

Huh? So hindi sya dumaan kila ate Lucy?

Sumasama na yung kutob ko habang naglalakad lakad sa resort.

Hanggang sa makita ko na nga sila.

I literally flipped my shit.

"WHAT THE HELL!!!"

I was clenching my fists so hard, my nails were digging into my palm.

Lexie was holding Jema's hands.

"SCREW THIS!!! AND SCREW YOU!!!" I roared at them while pointing a finger at Lexie.

Nope. I am not doing this.

It's a waste of energy trying to get my point through Lexie's thick skull without bashing her head in.

Sinubukan akong sundan ni Jema but instead na lambingan, it turned into another one of our famous screaming matches.

"IF THERE'S ANYONE HIDING SECRETS HERE, IT'S YOU!" sigaw nya sa akin.

Yeah I know I should've told her right away about my family but I thought that was something I should take care of.

After Jema left, I was still fuming from what I saw.

I mean surely this time I did not overreact right? Sino ba naman matutuwa kung maka kita nun.

"UUGGGGHHHHH PUTANGINAAAA!!!" I screamed into my pillow.

Eto na ba yung sign na ipaubaya ko nalang si Jema kay Lexie?

Sya nalang din ba ang gumawa ng paraan para makamit yon since I was too selfish to let her go?
