THE PLAYBOY'S PRINCESS SERIES 1:THE ARROGANT PLAYBOY AND HIS NERD PRINCESS

PLAYBOY 36: TAKE A STEP

JAYCEE'S POV

Everything seems falling into place. Okay na uli kami ng mga kaibigan ko. I tell them everything. Including my feelings and confusions.

I'm not ready to move on. Parang hindi ko pa kaya. But I'm willing to take a step at a time para makapag move forward, though I'm still not letting go.

The real reason? I don't know. Really. My heart just felt that it's not the right time to let go. Maybe it's just what I thought na hindi pa ito yung tamang panahon. Maybe, I'm just the one na umaasa but still I can't help it. Also my bffs told me na hindi masamang magmahal. Yes,  I believe that. At sa lahat ng nangyari may natutunan ako. I learned na pagnagmahal hindi laging kailangan na may kapalit,  hindi kailangang mahal ka din ng mahal mo. If you truly love a person you're not expecting a return. Oo. Mahirap. Sobrang sakit din. Pero yun talaga eh. Let's face the reality,  hindi lahat ng pagkakataon pareho kayo ng nararamdaman. Love is mysterious, you love him but he loves someone else, may taong gusto ka pero hindi mo naman gusto, o diba nakakatawa? But that's the truth.... we can't do anything about it but just accept it.

I admit... yes. Truth really do hurts. It's hurt so much you will think you couldn't bear  the pain.

But I can. You can handle and bear pain... what you cannot bear was looking at them happily together. It hurts not  only your eyes but also damaged your heart. However, life must go on.

It wasn't stop kung malungkot ka, nasasaktan ka o kung masaya ka. Your feeling has nothing to do with revolution and rotation of the earth.

Whether you like it or not. Everything will go on no matter what. Kaya I've learned to charge  everything to experience.

Naranasan kung maging masaya, malungkot,  maiyak,  masaktan at lalong lalo na ang magmahal....kahit wala siyang kaalam alam.

Mabuti na rin yun.

Alam ko namang magiging okay din ako.

Sana nga.

But I'm pretty sure... now isn't the time. Maybe someday... sooner but not now.

"Bruha. Ano sama ka?"

"Huh?" tanong ko kay Jhunnica. "May sinasabi ba kayo?"

Nagkatingin yung mga kaibigan ko sa isat isa. They looked as if naaawa sila sa akin. I don't like that look. Ayokong kaawaan nila ako. But I'm still grateful na nandito sila sa tabi ko. I'm just lucky I have a friends like them.

True friends are rare kaya kung mayroon kang mga  tunay na kaibigan, don't take them for granted. Treasure them. Cherished them because they're gems that cannot be bought and replaced.

Yan ang natutunan ko. Mahirap humanap ng tunay na kaibigan.

"Sleep over." si Alex na ang sumagot sa tanong ko.

"It's been a while since we do that. At namimiss ko na ang bonding natin." nakangiting sabi ni Loue.

"Oo nga. The last time we do it ay nung third year pa lang tayo. Ang tagal na." sabi nito Dani. Nakangiti siya habang inaalala yung pangyayari nung nagdaang taon.

"Ano Jaycee,  game ka?" si  Jhun.

Ngumiti ako. "Oo naman." Siguro nga kailangan ko to. Really.  I badly need a rest. At tsaka it's time for me para makabawi sa kanila. "Saan ang venue?" nung nakaraan kasi kina Jhunnica.

Loue smiled. "At my home, kina Jhunnica na kasi nung nakaraan... tapos alam mo na hindi pwede sa bahay nina Daniella dahil wala naman na siyang bahay." She meant it as a joke.

Natawa si Alex. "Oo nga. Poor Dani."

Dani raised her eyebrow. "Ah, ganun?" She said pero hindi naman siya mukhang naoffend. "But I  have a castle. I'm Cinderella after all, I have an annoying bitch step mother and still a thick-face bitch step sister who steal my dad by giving their best shot to get me out of their freaking lives, I'm kinda lucky right?"

We looked at her. Yes.  She has this version of Cinderella Story. How ironic isn't it?

"But didn't worry guys,  sa tagal ng panahon nag evolve na si Cinderella nowadays,  she's not the same damsel in distress,  they didn't know that she could be a bitch and she could be their worst nightmare."

Humalakhak si Jhunnica. "'Like your fighting spirit, Dani."

"That's our girl." Loue.

"I love you, for that Dani,  sweetheart." si Alex while pinching Daniella's  face a little bit.

"Tss." sabi lang niya Dani but I know she's overwhelmed.

Ngumiti ako sa kanya.  "I know you can do it." sabi ko while giving her a tap on her shoulder. I looked in her eyes.  "But whatever happens,  nandito lang ako,  nandito lang kami para  sayo....." I looked at them one by one. "...gaya ng nandito lang kayo para sa akin." I was  teary eyed.  I felt it kaya I'll blink thrice.

Tiningnan nila ako. Mukhang maiiyak din sila.

Napatingin kami sa isat isa. Unti unting sumilay ang nakakaunawang ngiti sa labi ng bawat isa.

"Yes... we are here." si Jhunnica.

"We'll support each other." Loue.

"We'll stay no matter what." si Alex.

"You can count on me everytime, guys." Dani.

Again. I looked at them,  sincerely.

"We're one guys....just don't forget that."

Nagroup hug kami. Yes, we'll treasure each other because we are one.

And it won't change no matter what....
