When Fiction Becomes Reality

Chapter 19

Welcome

It was simulated that she answered Hugo and he became her boyfriend, Hugo became even more clingy and jealous. Palaging protective si Hugo kay Persephone, na parang bantay-sarado sa kanya.

Kahit anong gawin ni Persephone, andiyan si Hugo na lagi siyang binabantayan.

Sa kabilang banda, kahit masyadong protective at seloso si Hugo, takot din siya kay Persephone. Halos lahat ng gusto ni Persephone ay sinusunod niya, kahit minsan ay labag na ito sa kanyang kalooban.

Natututo siyang magtiis at mag-adjust para lang mapanatili ang kanilang relasyon na maayos.

It is evident that Hugo loves Persephone very much, kaya kahit minsan ay tiklop siya at nagiging sunud-sunuran na lang.

It's Sunday today, and Hugo plans to introduce Persephone to his parents. They have been together for several months, and he still hasn't brought Persephone to the Langston mansion, where his parents live, because Persephone is not ready yet.

Hindi pwede patagalin pa dahil gustong gusto na makilala ng parents ni Hugo si Persephone, dahil medyo nawawala na ang kasungitan nito sa katawan pero hindi pa rin natatanggal ang kalamigan at kaseryosohan sa katawan.

Si Hugo naman kasi ay kilala na ng mama ni Persephone at ni Preesha bilang boyfriend niya na si Hugo.

"Gorgeous, relax lang. Everything will be fine. si Hades, di ba? Natuwa siya sayo, and my parents are not that different." When Hugo comforted her, she was really very nervous.

"I know love, pero iba pa rin 'yung pressure. Ang hirap kasi, first time ko silang makikilala." Sabi niya na nasa muka ang kaba.

What if alokin ako ng 10 million para layuan siya, syempre pera.

Ay hindi pwede yon baka magalit si Hugo hshs.

Hugo looked at her seriously. "I understand, Gorgeous. But just think about it, if Hades wants you for me, they feel the same way. Besides, they're excited to meet you. They keep asking when I will bring you home."

"Talaga? Ano bang sinasabi mo tungkol sa akin?" Namimilog ang mga mata niya na tumingin kay Hugo na nagd-drive.

"Well, sinabi ko na you're smart, kind, and beautiful. Pero alam mo naman, I can't capture everything in words. Kaya mas mabuti na makita ka nila in person." May munting ngisi sa labi nito.

"Thank you love. Pero paano si Hendrix at Harmony? Baka naman masyadong mataas ang expectations nila." Bumagsak ulit ang balikat nito sa naisip.

Bumuntong hininga si Hugo. "Don't worry about them. Hendrix is really chill, and Harmony is super friendly. Magiging okay ka lang. Alam mo, sobrang excited na rin ni Harmony na makilala ka. Nakausap ka na niya di ba?"

Tumango siya. "Oo, pero through chat lang. Iba pa rin 'yung face-to-face. Baka hindi kami mag-click."

Natuwa ng mahina ito. "Trust me, Gorgeous. Just be yourself. Kung paano ka sa akin, ganun ka rin sa kanila. They're going to love you. You have nothing to worry about."

"Sana nga. Pero paano kung hindi nila ako magustuhan?" Ulit na tanong niya.

"Whatever happens, I'm here for you. I love you, and that's what matters most. You shouldn't worry about their opinions. Just be the wonderful person that you are." Hugo took her hand and brought it to his lips to kiss. Shit

"I love you too, love. Sobrang laking tulong ng sinabi mo. Pero hindi ko pa rin maiwasang kabahan." Nakagat niya pa ang labi niya.

"Natural lang 'yan. Kahit ako siguro maiilang kung ako 'yung nasa position mo. Pero kaya natin 'to." Sabi nito gamit ang lambing na tono.
