ANG DIARY NG SINGLE

Chapter 6 - Counting Years

A year is a milestone in every relationship. There may be lots of ups and downs but once you overcome them all, you are more excited to face another.

It's been two months since our anniversary and we're still very happy.

Sometimes I can't help asking what worst is to come?

Ang nega ko! Sorry naman ganyan tayo mga girls. Moody much.

His mom didn't bother me anymore. However, I already met his dad and his sister Elise. She's so sweet and treats me like an ate. Magkasundo kami because almost the same ang likes namin. She's simple.

We do not talk about their mom, and I am thankful about it.

Pero hindi ko pa rin maiwasan mag-isip kung ano kaya ang pinaplano ng lola niyo. Sana naman huwag siya umeksena kung kelan hulog na hulog na ako sa anak niya.

Matt was planning about starting our life together but I do not talk much about it. He told me he's buying a property somewhere in the province and it's a nice neighborhood to raise children. I get chills whenever he talks about it. I don't know what to do I'm afraid I might say something wrong. He was telling me that we will check it one time.

He was already planning for the next years of our lives and he seemed so sure about our relationship to work.

He didn't know that my intuition is working so hard these days that I can't help thinking about his mom and what she's planning to do. No matter how much their family convinced her to give me a chance to get to know me, she never listened to them. She even called them fools.

Some of his cousins are nice enough to tell me that. I didn't told Matt about it. I don't want him to choose between me and his mom. He's kind enough to be hurt. I don't want Matt to get hurt. 😞

One sunday..

We were eating snacks at tita Annie's house while watching tv. We do it once or twice a month, because when I was single I visit them once a week or I spend the weekend with them.

I opened his cellphone and I didn't know I am up to getting hurt again.

I scanned through the messages which I usually do. We're both open about it so it's okay. He do the same with mine.

I saw his sister's message.

"Hi kuya. I know mom is up to something. Have you told ate Shime yet?"

"Nevermind Elise. Huwag mong pansinin si mom!"

"Kawawa si ate Shime pag nagkataon. What will you do kuya?"

End of convo.

Nanginginig na ako habang hawak ang phone niya. Patakbo akong pumunta sa CR. Hindi ko namalayan nahulog ang phone niya. He picked it up and rushed to me.

"Hey sweetie! Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine sweetie." sagot ko habang pigil ang pag iyak. Pumatak na ang mga luha ko while trying to calm myself. I should pretend I didn't know.

Kaya mo yan Shime. Sabi ko sa sarili ko. Naghilamos na ako at lumabas sa CR then smiled at him. Inaantay pala niya akong lumabas. Nag-aalala ang mukha na. Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at magkahawak kamang kaming bumalik sa sala. He's trying to get my attention paano kasi lutang na ako.

Ah eh hah ngiti nalang sagot ko sa kanya.

Sa isip ko. Hindi man lang niya nagets bakit ako nagkaganoon? Ang manhid din minsan ng mga lalaki.

Samantalang si Matt. Nataranta na at alam niya kung bakit yun ang reaction ni Shime ng mabasa ang message ni Elise. Hindi niya alam na nakalimutan niyang burahin iyon. Sobra na ang ginagawa ng mom niya. She's doing everything mapalapit lang siya doon sa anak ng family friend nila.
