Laws in Love II: Spencer Ace

Chapter 23

“Your father and I will be back together, a day before your graduation. Okay?”

Mom kissed my cheeks and I watched her enter our vehicle. She has another meeting in Manila and she promised that she would return here with Papa for my graduation. Sakto at pareho na silang uuwi para sa akin.

Kumaway ako sa papalayo niyang sasakyan at ng tuluyan na silang makaalis ay pupunta naman ako sa bahay nina Kale.

We ordered our dresses the other day and now it finally arrived. Isusukat namin pero kompyansa naman kami na kasya iyon sa amin. Maghapon rin kaming tumingin at hindi lang isa ang binili namin. We both need options.

I took a short bath and hurriedly wore my shorts and t-shirt. Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko at tuluyan na akong lumabas.

Finals were over and it's been over a week since we had a communication. 

Kahit paano ay gumagaan na ang pakiramdam ko pero hindi ko pa rin siya kayang tawagan. It feels so wrong on my part and my pride won't let me. Maybe I needed that break.

He's been abroad longer than he stayed here. Pero habang mas tumatagal siya roon ay ramdam ko ang kawalan namin ng maayos na komunikasyon.

It sucks but it is what it is. I truthfully didn't expect this turn of events, but expected a lighter outcome for us, but I guessed, experiencing it first hand is still a different thing.

A long distance relationship…it was never a test of what is right or wrong. If you really want to work it out, then work it out, kailangan planado lahat, you can’t just find things that work for both of you on the way. Everything should be according to plan because if it's not, then the both of you might take a different path.

Baka tuluyan lang kayong magkalayo at hindi pagtapuin.

He isn't active with his social media so I don’t have any news about him. Gabriel might have some but I am afraid to see her account because I might just encounter things that would make me feel things again.

I am at the point where I am kind of regretting that I knew these things about him. Hindi ko alam kung tama pa ba iniisip ko pero sana nanatili na lang akong walang alam…and maybe that would result in a different situation. 

Nakarating ako sa bahay nila at doon naputol ang pagmumuni muni ko. Dumiretso ako sa kwarto niya na nadatnan kong bukas na, nagkalat sa kama niya ang ilang piraso ng paper bags habang nakangiti na nagsusukat na ng kanya.

She turned around and our eyes.

“Nina, come here!” She excitedly motioned.

She is so excited as we try our dresses. We bought three dresses each and we gave our opinion to each other. Natagalan kami pero sa huli ay nakapili rin kami ng susuutin namin.

I chose the champagne short dress that reached my mid thigh and I’ll pair it with my nude heels.

It has an accent of crystals but it is not overwhelming and I am in love with the square neckline of it. It emphasised my collar bone even though the toga might just cover it all.

Nang tuluyan kaming natapos ay saktong lunch na kaya kumain na ako sa kanila. Kasama namin ang Mama at Papa niya sa hapag.

“It is unfortunate right? Maganda pa naman ang grocery store ng Lolo at Lola ni Spencer.”

Tita Sandy suddenly uttered. 

Napatigil ako sa pagsubo ng pagkain at sakto naman na nakatingin na pala siya sa akin.

Kumunot agad ang noo ko.

“They are getting older, at walang mag aalaga sa kanila dito. They are better off in Manila with their relatives.” Tito Ustin responded back.
