Nagkaroon kaagad ng celebration party para saakin dahil nakapasa ako sa bar exam! Abogado na ako!

Ilang linggo kaming magkakasama nila Nia, Liam at Ethan para mag review, at sabay-sabay kaming kumuha ng exam. Dalawang araw ang exam at marami kaming pinagdaanan lalo na at ibang law ang inaral ko. Ang akala ko nga ay hindi na ako papasa pero nakita ko pa ang pangalan ko!

Pagkalabas ko ng center ay nakita ko si Lavin na naka-abang saakin. Agad ko siyang niyakap at napaiyak. Sa wakas tapos na ang lahat.

"Congratulations babe!" Lavin give a bouquet of flowers and kissed my forehead. "I'm so proud of you." He said.

Napangiti ako. "Thank you for helping me." Hindi ko alam kung saan ako huhugot ng inspirasyon, mga araw na tinatamad akong bumangon at magreview pero nandyan siya non para hilahin ako, nandyan para sandalan ko sa tuwing na dodown ako dahil marami akong aaralin. He's really taking care of me. May kape, mga materials na need ko, mga libro at kung ano-ano pa.

The company lounge is full of colorful decorations, balloons, and streamers, creating a happy atmosphere.

A large banner hangs on the wall, reading "Congratulations, Atty. Xena! Our New Company Lawyer!" Tables are filled with trays of appetizers and drinks, and upbeat music plays in the background. Lahat ng empleyado ay imbitado kaya sobrang dami at masaya lahat.

I stands at the center of the room, surrounded by colleagues and friends, all raising their glasses in celebration.

My brother really throw a freaking expensive party! How much this cost! Sayang ang pera! Sana cash na lang binigay ni Kuya Lexus! Tapos tutulog na lang ako!

Pero masaya ako na nandito lahat ang naging lakas at inspirasyon para magpatuloy ako. I can hardly believe it. The journey to becoming the company lawyer has been long and challenging, but tonight, it all feels worth it. Lahat ng pagod, worth it.

I dressed in my finest attire, a symbol of my newfound role and accomplishment. Sheshh.

"Congratulations Attorney!" Halos bati ng lahat ng madadaanan ko.

Nasa harapan. Si Kuya Lexus with smile on his face. He raises his glass, commanding the attention of the room.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in congratulating Xena on her incredible achievement. She's worked tirelessly to get to this point, and I couldn't be prouder to have her as our company lawyer."

Maiiyak na sana ako pero naaalala ko lang palagi ang pang-aapi niya saakin sa bahay. Char. Syempre thankful ako sa kapatid ko dahil inalagaan niya ako magmula ng maghiwalay ang magulang namin, at siya ang tumayong nanay at tatay ko.

The room erupts into cheers and applause as the employees offer their congratulations. I feels a swell of emotion as she looks around at the smiling faces, grateful for their support and encouragement.

This moment is more than just a celebration of a job title. It's a for me and Lavin! Were now officially in a relationship!

Amidst the crowd, I catches sight of Lavin, my boyfriend, making his way towards me with a proud smile on his face. He wraps an arm around my waist, pulling me closer.

"Congratulations, babe. I'm so proud of you." He whispered

I leans into his embrace, feeling a surge of warmth and happiness at his words.

Having Lavin by my side through it all has made the journey that much sweeter. His unwavering support has been my anchor, guiding me through the toughest of times.

Bumati kami sa ilang mahahalagang bisita at pinakilala ako ni Lavin bilang girlfriend niya. Alam mo yung pakiramdam? Ngayon ata umaayon saakin ang tadhana. Salamat sa mga paghihirap at sakit dahil pinatibay ako at narating ko ang lahat ng ito.

Together, Lavin and I joined in the party, laughing and mingling with our colleagues and employees as they celebrate my achievement. In each other's arms, they find solace and joy, knowing that they can conquer anything as long as they have each other.

"Congratulations Xena!" Lumapit saamin si Shan and give me bouquet of flowers.

"Thank you Shan!" I smiled.

He laughed. "Talagang kayo pa rin nagkatuluyan huh? It's nice to see you happy." He said.

I laughed too. "Hindi ko nga ito ine-expect eh, but thank you Shan." I said.

"Talking to my girlfriend, Shan?" Bigla namang sumulpot si Lavin at pinulupot ang kamay sa bewang ko.

"Stop it there my man. I'm engaged, you know that." Shan shows his ring.

"Congratulations Shan! Who's the lucky girl?" I asked full of curiosity.

He smirked. "That's a secret for now. You'll be surprised." He said at umalis na.

"Kilala mo yong babae?" Baling ko kay Lavin.

He nodded.

"Sino?"

"Secret." He laughed. Hinampas ko siya sa braso. "Soon."

"What? Kakilala ko ba yan ha?"

"Yup, friend mo."

"Nia?"

Umiling siya.

"Si Nia lang naman ang babae kong kaibigan–" natigilan ako. Imposibleng si Ivy iyon noh.

"Gotcha." Lavin smirked.

What???

"Seryoso? Ang babaeng iyon! Akal ko single! Iyon pala!!! Lagot siya sakin pag nakita ko siya."

Lavin laughed and give me wine.

As the night wears on, I feels a sense of gratitude wash over me, knowing that I'm surrounded by love, support, and endless possibilities for the future.
