JEMA

"Come on, Jessica. JV is a good match for you" Sambit ni dad

I heaved a sigh

"Dad, please. I'm not interested, okay? Besides, you told me 'study first' muna diba?" Sagot ko

"You can do both naman, diba anak? I swear, JV is a gentleman, smart, athletic and family oriented. Just like your type, right?" Dad said

Mapumilit talaga si Daddy!

"You know what, dad. I should get going na. I'll talk to you later nalang po" walang ganang sabi ko

Nag pa alam naman ako at tsaka lumabas ng bahay

Sana pala di na ako sa bahay nagpahatid!

Sa condo muna ako uuwi later

I don't want him to introduce me to that boy

I've heard a lot about him pa naman

Na he's a playboy, and a cheater

Also manipulative

Family oriented? Nilayasan daw ni JV yung fam niya a lot of times eh

A total red flag

Bat ba kasi pinipilit ako ni dad sa lalaking yun?

"Bes, okay ka lang?" Kring whispered

I looked down at the crumpled paper in my hand

"Nothing bes, makinig ka nalang dyan" I whispered back

After few classes, Pumunta na ako sa adamson gym para mag practice

"Sana all no may jowang atenista"Sambit ni ate Faith

"Ang swerte mo sa jowa Jems!" Sabi naman ni ate Raine

Napa tawa naman ako sakanila

Nakita ata nila yung hard launch post ko sa Instagram

After our practice, I called Ella para sunduin na ako dito

I saw a familiar car, I thought it was ella

Pag labas ng kotse, it was John Vic pala

"what are you doing here, JV" seryosong sabi ko

"Your daddy asked me to fetch you, and ihahatid kita sa condo mo" sagot niya

She got me flowers but I rejected it

"I'm sorry, JV. I told you already, I don't like you" sambit ko

"Because you like De Jesus, the volleyball player from our school" sagot niya

My eyes widened

Nakita niya siguro yung post ko sa Instagram!

This delusional stalker!

I was about to speak nang dumating si Ella

"J-jema" sambit niya

I went closer and kissed her

I kissed her passionately in front of JV

"I have a girlfriend now, Please leave us alone" sambit ko

I held her hand

Sumimangot naman siya at tsaka umalis

"W-what was that, lovey?" Sambit niya

"What? I told him you're my girlfriend.Para he'll stop courting me" Nakangiting sagot ko

She just smiled and nodded

Pinag buksan niya naman ako ng pintuan, Pumasok na ako sa sasakyan niya

"Ako na magluluto love, I asked mom to teach me how to cook" sabi ko

Napa tingin naman siya sa akin

"Talaga lang love ha. Sige nga" Sagot niya

I smiled and started to cook binagoongan

It's her fave dish, tita also taught me

"Here's your favorite lovey" Sambit ko sabay lapag ng pagkain

"Wow, Ang sarap naman love" Sabi niya

Inaamoy niya naman iyon

The next following days, mas naging busy na kaming dalawa

Malapit na din yung cheerdance competition, and 2 weeks from now ay 5th anniversary na namim

"Love, may birthday celebration pala si daddy later. I asked him if you could come, but ayaw niya. But mommy wants to see you din, but dad happened" sabi ko

"It's fine, lovelove. Don't force your dad. I'm sure he'll accept us soon, Just don't rush it okay? I'm always here love" She said and kissed my forehead

I smiled and hugged her

"5 years with you was truly amazing, I'm so happy and grateful to have you" Sambit ko

"Excited ka lovey?"she chuckled kaya sinamaan ko siya ng tingin

Napa tawa naman siya at nag peace sign

"5 years with you was wonderful, and I can't wait to spend more with you" She smiled

"Sobrang corny mo love" I said

"Sus, Namumula ka nga eh" She teased

I quickly looked at the mirror, and namumula ako!

My gosh, Jorella!

"Oh, Ano brand ng blush on mo? Jorella Marie ba?" She smirked

Binato ko naman siya ng pillow

Naka ilag naman siya sabay tawa

Morning came and sabay kaming nag gym ni Ella

"Aba, Lumalamang kana talaga ate ells" bungad ni tots sa amin sa gym

Napa tawa naman si Ella

Nag start na ako mag exercise

"Lovey, May tumatawag" Sambit niya

Kinuha ko yung phone ko and then I answered it

It was dad , he reminded me about the  birthday party later

He told me not to bring Ella

I heaved a sigh and ended the call

"Are you okay, love?" She asked

Tumango naman ako

After gym, Umuwi na kami sa condo

I packed some clothes, dun muna ako matutulog kina dad for a day

Babalik rin naman ako dito eh

"Have fun later my love. I love you" she kissed my cheeks

I smiled and nodded

"Just call me lang kung may problema ha" She added

Tumango naman ako ulit

Lumabas na ako ng sasakyan and I watched her slowly drove away from the house

The party started and as usual, mga businessman ang andito and yung mga colleagues ni dad

Di ko nakita kung nasaan si Mommy

andito lang yun kanina ah?

I lost sight of her after our family picture

"Drink?" sambit nung waiter

Nagkuha ako ng glass at tsaka ininom yun

After a few minutes, I felt dizzy

I was about to fall when someone catched me

"Are you okay Jema?" I heard JV'S voice

And I don't what happened next
