CHAPTER 26

Seconds to minutes, minutes to hours, hours to days, days to weeks. It's like a cycle l won't get tired of specially when l woke up every morning and my boyfriend would literally call or message just to greet me, I'm totally having a nice day.

Rhys is an ideal boyfriend, and he's mine.

I'm so proud to call myself as his girlfriend too.

"Oh, saan ka pupunta?" Tanong ni 'Nay Fe. Hindi ko napansing bukas pala ang pinto ng kuwarto ko. Nakaharap pa naman ako sa salamin habang namimili ng magandang dress na susuotin.

"Sa simbahan po." sagot ko saka pinakita kay Nanay ang mga dress na hindi ko mapagpilian. "Ano bang bagay sa akin, Nay?"

Napailing-iling na lumapit sa akin si Nanay Fe saka hinawi ang ilang hibla ng buhok ko at inipit iyon sa gilid ng aking taynga. "Magsimba ka para magdasal. Hindi para magpaganda, matagal ka nang maganda kaya kahit anong suotin mo babagay sa'yo." 

I know that but l'm starting to get use of this kind of dressing, not just to impress Rhys but also for myself, I want to gain confidence.

I want to be confident just like the other girls.

Pinili ko ang dark blue dress na hindi ko pa nasusuot at pinaresan ko iyon ng white nike shoes at white sling bag. Pagkatapos ay nagset ako ng time sa camera at kinunan ang aking sarili. At sinend ko iyon sa kaniya.

Did l offend you in any way?



Baby japa:

No, why'd you asked?




Boyfriend:

The emoji tho




Baby japa:

Yung iba nga nagsa-sad emoji kahit nakakatawa yung post.




Boyfriend:

Kinakabahan kasi ako 'pag nagse-send ka ng mga ganoong emoji, pakiramdam ko galit o naiinis. Alam mo namang ayaw kong  nag-aaway tayo, hindi ako mapakali.



Baby japa:

Hindi naman tayo nag-aaway ah. At bakit naman tayo mag-aaway?



Boyfriend:

Sa ngayon hindi pa, pero love may mga instances talaga na hindi natin maiiwasan ang magtalo. Misunderstandings are part of growing a relationship. But l'll make sure to talk to you any time.

Walang matutulog hangga't hindi natin naaayos ang usapan.



Baby japa:

Hindi rin ako makakatulog 'pag ganoon.

I use to have a virtual kiss and hugs from you 🥺




Boyfriend:

And I use to hear your angelic voice.



Baby japa:

Love, you know how much l want to spent my time talking to you, but l need to go to church now.




Boyfriend:

It's okay, love.

Let God be the center of our relationship.

I'll go to church now too. I'll thank Him for having you.




Baby japa:

That's so sweet of you.

I love you 😘




Boyfriend:

I love you more 😍
