Jhoanna's POV:

Almost two weeks have passed since I started training for the dance charity, and I'm slowly getting used to dancing again with my friends/members.

I'm currently at my secretary's house. We just finished practice, and she picked me up as she did in the past few days. As we left my cousin's studio, heavy rain suddenly poured down.

As time passed, the rain got heavier, so she decided to drive to her house.

We were almost near my house when the water level rose a bit, so we had to take a different route, which was closer to her house.

When we arrived at her house, two elderly people greeted us. Parents niya siguro ito.

Colet: “Ma, Pa.” She greeted them at nagmano sa kanyang parents.

Mr. Vergara: “Aba, sino 'yang magandang dilag na kasama mo?” Nakangiting bungad nito.

Then biglang may bumaba sa hagdan. Si Sheena.....

Sheena: “Uyyy, hi ate Jho. Ate Cols, ipapakilala mo na ba si ate Jho na jowa mo kela Mama at Papa?” Her revelation made me glare at her. She quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

Colet: “Piskit ka talaga, Sheena Mae.” Bulong ng katabi ko.

Nakita ko namang napataas ang kilay ng mga magulang niya dahil sa gulat at hinihintay ang sasabihin nito.

Colet: “Ma, Pa. Si Jhoanna po. Girlfriend ko ho.” Her words made me feel a mix of emotions, especially when she introduced me as her girlfriend.

Mrs. Vergara: “Hindi ba Jhoanna ang pangalan ng Boss mo? Magkapangngalan sila?” Mukhang naninigurado yung magulang niya na magkaiba ako at ang boss niya which is iisa lang. Halatang hindi alam ng parents niya ang nangyayari sa anak nila.

Colet: “Ma, siya yung amo ko. Her name is Jhoanna and she's my girlfriend.” She said with a smile, and suddenly, her parents couldn't believe what they were hearing, leaving me feeling a whirlwind of emotions. Galit ba sila or what?

Jhoanna: “Sorry for breaking your conversation. Your daughter insisted po kasi na patuluyin po ako dito ngayong gabi since baha po papunta sa bahay namin.”

Mr. Vergara: “Buti nalang at naisipan niyong tumuloy dito dahil baka ma-stranded pa kayo sa daan.”

Sheena: “Ate Cols, dapat sa hotel mo nalang dinala si ate Jho HAHAHHAHA” She joked, and I was surprised when Colet suddenly threw a small pillow at her sister, but she just laughed it off.

Mrs. Vergara: “Oh siya, anak asikasuhin mo muna ang kasama mo at pahiramin mo ng damit mo para naman maging komportable siya.”

Mr. Vergara: “Sige na, Ija. Sundan mo nalang si Colet sa kwarto niya.” Masayang usap nito.

Colet: “Let's go upstairs, BABU.” She said and held my hand. Her saying our call sign na parang sanay na sanay siya.....cheesy but it felt something.

Of course, we were in front of her parents, and she had just introduced me to them as her girlfriend, so I accepted her hand... then I felt that same indescribable feeling.
