AC's pov:
Another day had began, the closer I am on letting you go. Atasha! Wake up na! My mom screamed. Yes ma! I'm awake. Be there in 10 minutes. I took a bath and did my skin care. Yes, I said 10 minutes but it took me 20 minutes to do everything. Well, girl stuffs. I have a final defense on my thesis on the afternoon. Yes, I'm graduating and that's why we have a lot of requirements. Well, that's the life of being a student i guess. When I was in high school,  I was known as a certified crammer. I can cram things and have a perfect output in just few hours. Cool isn't? But it was useless when I entered college. No sleep, no phone! It's just you and the book on this universe. Sounds Like hell isn't? Well what did Expect? Accounting whoooyoo!
I went down and took my breakfast. I was shock when I saw my mom and dad together eating while smiling. Wow, as if they weren't at the peak of divorce. I said in my mind.  Atasha, eat now. My mom said. Your mom's right princess. My dad added. Eeek! Yay!  My mind is so happy right now! Like we look like a perfect family. I love it!! I was smiling as if my mouth will tear apart. Atasha,princess, are you alright? My mom and dad asked. Yes po. Let's eat. I said. So what's with the formal clothes? My mom asked. We have our final defense later. I said while chewing. Don't talk when your mouth is full. My dad said while chewing as well. Both of you, you're doing it too, hon. My mom said. She's really a daddy's girl. My mom laughed. All of us laugh when my mom started to act Like why am i not a mommy's girl. Then the conversation was diverted into my relationship with KJ. How are you with KJ  princess? My dad asked. I was not able to answer for a second. Uhm.. We're ok dad. I said. Don't lie to me, Princess. I won't be mad tell me. My dad said. I made an eye contact with my mom and we communicated that I should tell the truth. I don't know how my mom knew about it but, at least I have someone who can be with me. Well dad, the truth is we're not okay. I said. He was gonna speak but I stopped him. wait dad. He wants us to finish our relationship  like 2-3 months ago, because  fell out of love, but I asked him to extend it until our graduation. So we're staying in a one-sided relationship i guess. But dad, don't hate him pleaee. You know he's not a bad person. Maybe we're not meant for each other. Maybe we're just good as friends. But... I started to sob. I still. Love him. I really do. I don't know how to live without him..i too my parents. Princess, yes I'm angry to KJ but sometimes we have to let go. Like you said. But I think the deal was necessary. You're just hurting yourself more. We don't want our princess to be hurt. My dad said as he wipes my tears. My mom hugged me so as my dad. With them, I feel safe. As if the thought of breaking with KJ was gone. Parents are truly your comfort even if you're old already.
I'm already ugly. I laughed. I gotta go mom and dad. See you later. I said. I rode the bus and went to school. I'm nervous but I can do it. I also decided to accept the scholarship that kuya ash. The thesis went well and I got a perfect score! All the hardworks do pay off! I decided to go to kuya Ash and tell him about my decision. Kuya Ashton. I said. Oh, pony tail girl. He said. It's Atasha. I said. Okay, atasha, what brings you here? I asked. Well, I just want to say that I agree with your deal. I'm accepting the scholarship. I said and I saw how his reaction change from serious to happy. Nice one!! Thanks and congrats, Atasha. Thank you kuya. I said. Well, see you next school year. He said. I smiled and went outside the school. As I went out the school, I was shock to see KJ holding flowers. Hey, Love. KJ said and gave me the flowers. Thanks KJ, but you don't have to do this I said.  I insist. And It's a just because thing.  He said. Let's go, I asked your parents already and they agreed. He added. Agreed what? I asked. Nothing. Let's have dinner at our apartment. He said and I nodded. I still love you. I whispered. I do still love you, AC. KJ also whispered but AC wasn't able to hear it clearly.
