Want You Back (JulNiel)

Chapter Twenty One - Four years

Four years

It's been Four years. I finally graduated.

I am currently working at my dad's, okay na ang lahat.
Meron din naman kaming business ni mama. Sa ipon ko. And we're starting to make it bigger.
Nagpatayo na rin ako ng tindahan dun samin. Diko padin kasi tanggap na malayo ang bilihan.

Si kelly. Nagtayo na rin ng sarili n'yang business. Kasama si dale, syempre.

Ako nga yung sinisisi nya kung bakit daw naging sila ngayon. Lagi ko raw kasi sila inaasar. Pakunyare pa. Alam kong crush nya talaga yan si dale.

"Hey son, are you alright?"

"Yes dad. In fact i am enjoying working together with you" Okay na rin naman sila ni mama.

Wala naman na akong sama ng loob kay dad. Sa katunayan, thankful na rin ako. Kasi baka mas lalo kong di kayanin kung nandon ako nung mangyari yun kay jack.

"That was good, son. You may take your lunch already. I think your girlfriend is waiting for you"

"I know dad, thank you" i stand up and head downstairs to see her.

"Hi dee" she greeted me.

"Hi Jay. How's your day?"

"A lot better now, after seeing my handsome's face"

"I know my beatiful" i chuckle.

"Your chuck sounds like you were believing in my jokes!"

"Hey!" She laugh.

"Stop staring. I'm still the beautiful Jackie Santos"

"I know" napayuko ako nung maalala ko sya.

"still can't forget her, do you?" She smiled. Yeah, she can clearly understand that some part of my heart still belongs to her. Even though She's gone.

"You know i can't, thank you for understanding"

"I understand because i love you" inakbayan ko sya at hinala pa palapit sakin.

"Thank you"

They're both Jackey/Jackie but Jack was really different. I know, jackie was with me now, but i can't let her off my mind, my heart.

"Where do you wanna eat?"

"Kahit naman sabihin ko. Ikaw pa din ang masusunod" tumawa ako bilang pangasar.

"Nagri-reklamo ka. Ganun ba yun?" Asar n'yang sabi.

"Hindi a, natutuwa nga ako e"

"O talaga? Sapakin kaya kita ngayon"

"Baliw ka talaga"

Pumunta kami sa gusto n'yang kainan at dun kami kumain.

"How's work?" She ask.

"Okay naman, so tiring that i don't even have time to complain"

"You shouldn't! Of course, It's your work. You have to work hard so we can live, you know. To our future" tumawa si jackie na parang kinikilig. Babae talaga.

"I know, i know. I need to work, i have to work. It was still early anyway. We're only twenty two"

"Pero kung si jack ba ang nandito kasama mo, tingin mo. Kasal na kayo ngayon?"

"Hindi pa rin naman siguro, siguro for me, nasa 25 and above ang sure win na pagaasawa" sabi ko kaya napatango sya.

"25, three more years left" sabi nya.

"Hindi naman porket 25 ang sinabi ko ay 25 na rin talaga tayo magpapakasal, malay mo. Mas mapa-aga" sabi ko sakanya. Two years na rin kami ni Jackie. She's cool, just for me, of course. Kelly still hated her. That girl.

"Make it sure ha"

"I don't know jack, 25" sabi ko habang kumakain.

"I'm not jack, dwayne. And 25 isn't our monthsary" ang kaninang tingin ko sa pagkain ay nalipat kay jack. Why did i even call her jack?

"Sorry" i didn't mean in that way pero yun na lang ang nasabi ko.
