When I Met You Epilogue 2

 

It was the first weekend after his family moved to a new neighborhood. He decided to hit the courts of the village to play basketball. When he got there, another boy was sitting by the sidelines. He sat next to him and watched the game which was on-going.

 

“Hi! I’m Chris,” he introduced himself.

 

“Hi Bro, I’m Gerald, Jr. but they all call me JR. You’re new here?”

 

“Yeah, we just moved here last week.”

 

“Welcome to the village! Have you met new friends? ” JR said.

 

“You’re actually the first one.”

 

“I’ll introduce you to the other guys. Regular naman kaming naglalaro eh.”

 

The game they were watching soon finished. JR introduced Chris to some of the other guys and the next game went underway.

 

 

“I’m gonna walk home? Ikaw?” JR asked Chris after the game.

 

“Lakad lang din. Malapit lang ang house name.”

 

While walking home they started talking about stuff… guy stuff. They didn’t notice that they were heading towards the same direction. They both stopped at some point, in the middle of the street.

 

“So paano JR, dito na ako,” Chris said.

 

“Saan ang bahay n’yo?”

 

“This one,” Chris replied pointing to the house on his left.

 

“Talaga? This is our house,” JR pointed to their right side. “Tara Bro, punta ka muna sa amin. I’ll introduce you to my family. Do you have to go home na ba?”

 

“Hindi naman. Sige.”

 

They entered the Anderson home and were greeted by JR’s mom, Sarah. Then they went outside to their garden, where he heard a girl talking.

 

“But Dad, I’ll be the only one in the group without a date? Eh di OP naman ako nu’n,” Chris heard the girl say.

 

JR led him towards where a girl about their age and an older man, which Chris assumed was their dad, were seated.

 

“Hi Dad!”

 

“Hi son! Who’s your friend?”
