Baby You're My Destiny

Chapter 18

[Buong magdamag tinitigan ni Julie yung picture na nakuha niya sa jacket ni Richard. Pinipilit niyang alalahanin kung san niya nakita yung baby.]

"Sayang wala man lang akong natabing baby pictures ko." :(

[Julie grew up in an orphanage. She was just 5 years old when she was adopted by a rich family. Sa America siya lumaki at nag-aral. But after graduating in Senior High. Bumalik sila dito sa Pilipinas at dito siya nagtapos ng College. She took up Bachelor of Arts in Literature in UST. And is currently employed in one of the leading publishing companies here.]

"Bakit kaya hindi maalis sa isip ko tong picture na to?? Ano bang meron dito? Siguro nga dapat ko siyang kausapin." -_-

[Dali-dali siyang nag-ayos at umalis.]

[Maine at that moment ay nasa shop with her Mommy.]

"So hija, how's your date last night?" :)

"Hay naku Mommy, sobrang epic. Napaka weird niya. Yes his a gentleman, mukhang mabait. Pero Mom!! wala man lang sense of humor. Napakanerdy!" -_-!

"So what did you do??" :)

"Ayun, nagpanggap nalang ako na may urgent meeting pa ko. Kaya nakaalis ako agad." :p

"Ikaw talaga! Manang-mana ka talaga saken, ganyan din ako dati. Tinatakasan mga blind dates." :)

*sigh*

"Oh? may problema ka? Hm. hulaan ko, si Richard ba?" :)

"Mom.. . bat ganun? the more na lumalayo ako, mas lalo ko lang siyang namimiss.. mas lalo ko lang siyang hinahanap-hanap, mas lalo ko lang....

(。_。)"

"Mas lalo ka lang napapamahal? May nabasa nga ako kanina habang nagiinternet ako. Sabi dun 'If it wasn't complicated, if it didn't hurt, the reward at the end wouldn't feel nearly as good; the love wouldn't touch us as deep as it does if we don't go through the pain." :)

"Mom yung totoo? corny ha." →_→

"But it has a point. :) Hija, part yan. Now, kung mahal niyo talaga ang isa't-isa, you have to face it or else masasaktan lang kayo. Like now. Haay, naniniwala padin ako that love isn't complicated at all, but people makes it complicated. The decision is yours, isusuko mo nalang ba talaga?"

"Sa totoo lang Mom, I really have no choice but to just give it up. Samin naman kasi yung mali eh."

"Then endure the pain. Kung gusto mo talagang magmove on, you have to find someone else. That's the only way. Yung maiuton mo sa iba yung attention mo. But, I think that would be impossible for the next 3 days." :)

"What do you mean??" (⊙o⊙)？

"We're going out of town. Birthday ng Tito Rich mo, and alam mo naman magbestfriend sila ng Daddy mo. He wants to celebrate it with us. And for sure kasama si RJ." :)

"Mom!! Ang torture naman nun. Pwede bang wag nalang akong sumama?" :(

"Matitiis mo bang di sumama? Knowing na kasama si Richard??" :)))

"Yung ngiti mo ha! Mommy naman eh." :(

"Boto ako sa kanya hija." :D

"Hay naku, parehas na kayo ni Lola" :(

[And Julie came.]

"Maine.."

"Julie? [napatayo sa gulat] A-anong ginagawa mo dito??" (⊙o⊙)
