Mr. Left (Mr. Series #2)

Chapter 18

"Hey, don't you also need to go to the gym? The training might begin right away for UAAP," lakas loob kong tanong kay Jhon Rey kahit mukhang seryoso ang mukha niya. Nakakatakot naman. Aga aga.

He shook his head. "I quit. I have no interest in it at all."

Napanganga ako. "You're supposed to train with them, aren't you? You won the game, right?" Nagtataka kong tanong. "It's your chance. Why would you waste it?"

It sounded like I was the one who was most affected by it.

"I have something that is more important to deal with now."

"And what is that?" I asked, raising my eyebrow.

"It's you."

That shut me up.

"H-ha? Bakit? I mean, you make me feel bad about it. It simply indicates that I was the reason you turned down that opportunity."

"Aren't you the one who told me you wanted him to achieve his dream? I wish to help." I bit my lip. "After all, you said he had already lost you, and now he has also lost his dream. When you're so concerned, how am I supposed to do nothing?"

Napabuntong-hininga ako. "I didn't intend for you to sacrifice such a great opportunity like this. You already lost the chance to marry your dream girl too, and because of me, you missed this chance also."

"Tsk. You know, sometimes you're hard to understand," he commented as he laid his back on his chair. He looked at me with his arms crossed. He's shaking his legs, which make him look so attractive.

"Am I?" I asked.

"Yeah, honestly. I don't know where to place myself."

And here we are now, arguing while it is still a bright morning. We are bickering in a whisper because we don't want anyone else to hear us.

"It was my decision to prioritize you, so don't blame yourself. I told you to stop thinking so much about things. You always come to the conclusion that it was all your fault," pagbubunganga niya. Pinapagalitan niya ba ako?

I pouted. "Sorry."

I overheard him sigh. "You don't have to say sorry."

"Sorry. I mean, fine." I scratched my nape. "Ano nang gagawin natin ngayon?"

"Hmm. Next week, will you visit the wedding library once more?" He inquired, which was really out of the blue.

"Yeah, sabi nila bumalik raw ako for the final fitting," I responded.

"May I come along?"

I tilted my head. "Why?"

"So I can check to see if it actually fits you."

Napatitig pa ako sa kaniya. "Tsk. Alright. If you insist."

Isang linggo ang nagdan at dumating na 'yong araw na pupunta na akong muli sa wedding library. Katulad ng napagkasunduan, sinamahan ako roon ni Jhon Rey. So far, we're getting along and mom and dad seemed to notice it. They were glad that we're starting to be more fond of each other.

Yes, we always make an effort to communicate with one another in order to understand each other's viewpoints. May pagtatalo pa rin pero nagpaparaan naman ang isa't isa. I guess this is how getting married feels.

Tuluyan na kaming pumasok sa wedding library. Masigla kaming binati ni Miss Mina. I am also happy to see her again. She told Jhon Rey to wait for me while she beautified me. She was smiling the whole time she was dolling me up. She seemed to be in a good mood.

I am also happy to see her again. She told Jhon Rey to wait for me while she beautified me. She was smiling the whole time she was dolling me up. She seemed to be in a good mood. Nakakagalaw na rin ako nang maayos at hindi katulad noong nakaraan, masaya na akong nagsusukat ngayon, siguro'y dahil alam kong naghihintay si Jhon Rey sa akin sa labas.
