Hidden Personality of the President

Chapter 12- Sinigang

Ace POV

There house is quite big and pretty, it's also a cozy modern style. I won't deny that Jade is really a genuine, thoughtful, independent or self reliant and intelligent. I love the way how competitive she is. I remember the debate, she's not a person who's easy to give up. When she really wants to prove something, she will find a way to prove that she is right.

Jade is not a person na nagpapasindak, she will do anything just for herself and sometimes not just for herself but also her friends. Palaban syang babae, hindi madaling kalaban at hindi madaling patumbahin.

The first time I saw her, I said to myself na i really like her. Nilapitan ko sya non sa table na hindi naman talaga amin, nilapitan ko sya kasi I want her attention but when she reacts to me, my uncontrolled emotions suddenly appeared. It's also the day when I thought that love isn't really real. Sabi ko gagawin kong magulo buhay nya pero mukhang buhay ko ang nagulo because of her.

It's just only one week na nakasama ko or namin sya sa section namin pero I already saw her genuine smile and her good traits that I really want in a woman but I'm not ready to commit again because of my trauma or my past. I also dont want her to suffer because of me. I have miserable life now and I don't even know if I can still fix it.

Nagikot ako sa bahay nila at nakita ko ang isang picture na nasa isang cabinet na glass ang cover. Isang babae na nakangiti habang naugoy ang duyan sa isang park.

Kinuha ko ang picture at tinignan ng mabuti "I know this park, it's familiar to me" I whispered.

Binaba ko ang picture ng marinig ko ang pagsara ng pinto na sa tingin ki ay mula sa isang kwarto sa itaas, maybe it's Jade at hindi nga ako nagkamali. Bumaba sya ng hagdan at lumapit sa akin.

"Anong tinitignan mo riyan?" Tanong nya at sumilip sa cabinet.

"Nothing."

"Weh?" Tanong nya at sumilip ulit. I think she already knows kung anong tinitignan ko. "What the hell?" Nagulat nyang reaction at binaliktad ang picture frame.

I laughed at her "Why? HAHAHAHA"

"Wag mo ngang tignan mga pictures ko riyan"

"Why not? Ang cute mo dun"

"Cute talaga ako" She said and rolled her eyes. "Nainip ka ba?"

"Not really."

Tumingin sya sa orasan na nasa pader. "It's already 12, do you want to eat?"

"Ikaw ba? Aren't you hungry?"

"Gutom na but I...." Pinutol nya ang sinabi nya. Yumuko sya at kinamot ang batok.

"What?"

"I don't know how... how to cook hehe" nahihiyang sabi nya.

"Tsk, how do you survive here if your dad isn't here?"

"Ma-marunong naman ako magluto but just a fried foods lang like hotdogs, eggs, nuggets."

"That's not healthy."

"Atleast hindi ako underweight."

"Kahit na, you're a girl. You supposed to know how to cook." I rolled my eyes to her

"Discrimination ka! Wala naman sa gender yon 'no"

"Kawawa magiging boyfriend mo" I said and laughed na ikinanuot ng no nya.

"I dont have plan to find a boyfriend pfft"

"Tsk. I know how to cook, anong meron kayo jan?"
