FAST FORWARD TO KAILENE'S 18TH BIRTHDAY PARTY
KAILENE
"Eighteen at last! I can now do whatever I wanna do, right Daddy? Hmmm I am so happy that you are all here. My classmates from pres school are here. Hi guys. How do I start a speech? Hmmmm Every birthday that I have, I always receive flowers from Daddy and a little cash. Hahaha Today I got an envelope with P1,000 in it and a key. I knew it was a car key, siyempre everyone knows what a car key looks like. I was screaming cause I know he gave me what I was praying for. I ran to their bedroom and he told me that the car is in a garage in one of the five houses of relatives. I only had three tries and if I don't guess the right house, well sorry, car is forfeited. I am so glad I got it at the first try.
Thank you Daddy for the gift and this. Thank you Mommy, you are both great. I love you. Thank you to my brothers Dwayne, Dylan for being the best in the world. and to the Baby D, I love you kahit sabihin nilang anak kita kasi naman sina Dad...hahahaa
To Dynamic Jino, thank you for being there all the time as in all the time. Thank youfor letting me drive your car, mess up your room, borrow your clothes, eat your food, lait your future girlfriend, get your money and and let you do my assignments. Thank you for being big chunk of my life and you know how big your space in my heart. Thank you Kuya Jino I love you.
Thank you everyone for being here."
"Jino, remember the guy I introduced to you sa moviehouse na nakita natin?"
"Yes. Bakit?"
"He wants to court me daw."
"Bakit daw?"
"Anong bakit daw? SIyempre maganda ako, sexy, hot, matalino...bakit you don't find me sexy and hot ba?"
"Sssshhh marinig ka nila."
"Eh sagutin mo muna"
"Of course Babe, you are."
"I am what?"
"Do I have to spell it out Kailene?"
"Yes. Pinsan mo ako di ba?"
"Haynaku, tama nga si Auntie Kirsten, masyado ako nagpapabully sa yo."
"Eh sabihin mo lang naman kasi na hot and sexy ako."
"Kailene ikaw na ang pinaka sexyat hot na babaeng nakita ko sa balat ng lupa."
"Sarcastic naman eh."
"Ayaw mo?"
"Huwag kasi ganun."
"Halika drive muna tayo."
"Drive? Eh sabihin mo lang kasi yun."
"Dun ko sasabihin."
"Tara. Hindi na ba tayo magpapa alam?"
"Huwag na alam naman nilang magkasama tayo tsaka tapos naman na din ang birthday party mo eh."
"Sige. Tara na."
AFTER 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING AROUND
Nag park si Jino sa garage ng condominium niya. Palagi naman ako dito sa pad niya. Lalabas na sana ako kaso pinigilan niya ako. Inabot niya isang box sa akin. I opened it and its a bracelet with diamonds on it.
"Happy Birthday."
"Ang ganda Jino. Akala ko wala kang gift sa akin. Thank you. Put it on me?"
He put the bracelet around my wrist. and kissed my hand after it. Syet Jino huwag mo gawin yan. Sana hindi na lang kita pinsan, sana simpleng friend na lang kita. Mahal yata kita eh.
"You like it?"
"Yes t-t-thank you."
"Don't I get a thank you kiss?"
"Huh?"
"Thank you Kiss lang."
I leaned to kiss him on the cheek but he turned his face towards me and my lips landed on his. I pulled back but he pulled me towards him and kissed me full in my mouth. It was passionate and full of...love? We kissed for a while. I lost count of the time. My first kiss.
"I'm sorry Kailene. Hindi ko napigilan."
"It's okay."
We sat there in silence, then he spoke
"I am sorry for kissing you. Alam ko mali to, pero I love you. After this tell me kung ayaw mo na akong makita, lalayo ako. Kung galit ka I understand."
Hindi ako umiimik. Kiniss niya ako. He said love niya ako? Mag pinsan kami. His Mom and my Mom are first cousins. Ano sasabihin ng mga tao? Ah Damn wala akong pakialam, basta kasama ko si Jino.
"Tara iuwi na kita. I'm sorry again."
"I love you too."
"Kailene?"
"I said I love you too..."
JINO
Now what? Why the hell did you kiss her Jino? What got into you?Pinsan mo yan. Papatayin ka ni Uncle Dwight pag nalaman niya yan.
"Jino?"
"Yes?"
"You know that what we did is not right."
"Yeah I know, I am sorry."
"No Jino don't be. I'm glad we did it. Now I know that I really love you. You're the only guy I have loved. Pero hindi naman tama to di ba? We're family.Magagalit sa atin si Mom at si Auntie Silk. Pati sina Dad and Uncle Jota."
"Yeah I know, I'm sorry."
"I love you and I will always love you pero siguro we needed to spend more time apart para hindi na tayo magkamali pa."
"If you say so, Kailene."
We sat there for a while, Ano gagawin mo Jino? Hindi ka man lang lumaban diyan? Siya na naman ang masusunod? Second cousins kayo. Second, meaning okay lang magkatuluyan ang second cousins nasa batas yan at sa batas ng Diyos. Hindi naman kayo magkakasala eh. So what kung magagalit sila?
"Jino?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you, and I will always love you. I will cherish this forever in my heart."
"Kailene...."
"Yes?"
"Can I kiss you even for the last time?"
And she let me...
