Your One True Love Book 2

Chapter 5

Kinabukasan, nasa klase na naman kami ni Mr. Frustrated Beauty Queen, si Sir Florence. At si Camille ang nagbigay ng katawagang yan. Tuwang tuwa syang pumasok ng klase namin.

"Ano naman kayang pakana ng baklitang ito?" Narinig kong ungot ni Camille.

"Shhh. Magtigil ka nga dyan. Baka mamaya pag initan ka na naman nyan." Saway ko sa kaibigan ko.

"Ganyan yang mga bakla na yan, kapag alam nilang mas maganda sila kesa sa tunay na babae napakamapanlait pero kapag talbog ang beauty nila, abot langit ang pagkaamplaya."

"My dear students, to start this activity. I want a mini beauty contest who will represent this class. So I would like atleast five pretty girls here." And I was like, matututo ata kami sa mga kaartehan ng baklang ito kesa matuto sa mga lessons.

"Sir, I would like to volunteer." And someone raises her hand. Hindi na ako nagtaka because that someone is Shei.

"It is a pleasure pretty girl. Come here." Please, don't us. Super scripted po ang acting nyo.

"Sir, si Felicity!" Yung kaklase naming tahimik pero maganda nga naman.
Surprisingly, napapayag nila si Felicity eh hindi ko pa nga narinig yang nagsalita.

"Who else? 2 down, 3 to go."

"Sir, I nominate Camille!" Si Denver. Hahaha.

"Hoy, gago ka Denver!" Nabigla si Camille at hinila ng professor namin.

"Sir, ayoko."

"Nahihiya ka Ms. Hater of Bekis?" And di ko mapigilang mapatawa sa tawag ni Sir kay Camille. Quits na kayo bes. Hahaha.

"I change my mind Sir. I will join." Hahaha. Bahala ka dyan Camille.

"Two more ladies!"

"Sir, si Hanna po." Napatingin ako kay Hanna at mukhang hindi naman sya napilitan. Full smile pa ngang pumunta sa unahan.

"So now, who is the last but not the least?"

Natahimik ang klase at ang mga lalaki ay naghanap ng pwedeng ipapahiya sa unahan.

Until nagkatinginan kami ni Daniel.

You must be proud of your girlfriend. Front runner sa beauty contest na yan.

"Sir, I nominate Abby!" What? Denver? Kahit kelan ka talaga. Nakuuu!

"Yes sir, I nominate Abby also!" Camille!

"Sir, I nominate Abby again." Vince! Triple dead na ako ah. Mga loko kayo. Hindi ako naggaganyan.

"So Ms. Friendship, may we invite you here? Full support ng mga kaibigan."

Grabe oh, nananahimik ako dito sa upuan ko tapos ganyanan. Binantaan ko si Vince pati si Denver nung tumayo ako sa upuan ko. For fun lang naman to kaya bahala na. Atleast charge to experience na lang.

Tumayo na nga ako at tumabi kay Camille.

"Ikaw ang dapat manalo dito ha. Talunin mo yung feelingerang yun." Si Camille and she is referring to Shei.

"Pwede ba Camille. Wala akong alam sa ganito."

"Basta. Ipamukha natin sa baklitang yan."

"Class, let us start."

And ang naging instruction sa amin is first, introduction of ourselves then question and answer portion na.

Unang nagpakilala si Shei down to the last which is me.

"Good morning everyone. I am Abby Gale Reyes, 18 years of age from Saint James University!" Dahil for fun lang ito, ganahan ko na din dahil mukhang palaban lahat ng mga kalaban ko.

I saw the proud smiles of my friends kahit si Camille na kalaban ko.

Next portion is the question and answer. Unang sumalang si Shei.

"Hi Contestant No. 1, your question is." Pasuspense pa si Sir. Kaloka.

"If given a chance to change an event in your past life, what would it be and why?"

Napa-owww ang mga kaklase ko dahil pangbigatin ang mga tanungan ni Sir.

"Thank you for that wonderful question, if given a chance to look back at my past and change one thing, I think it will be when Daniel asks for my yes when we were in high school. It is one of the many bad decisions I have, I should have said yes so we had spent more years of being together. But as you can see, we are already dating so I guess we just have to catch up with each other. Thank you."

No. Kung naging kayo agad ni Daniel, I would not have met Daniel. I would not have been also part of his life.

I can't help but look at Daniel. Simula nung nagkaroon sya ng girlfriend at nagkalapit kami ni Vince nagkaroon ng distance sa barkada nila. Sila ang lumayo. Siguro mas mabuti na lang yun para tahimik ang buhay namin.

"And we're down to our last contestant. Ms. Contestant No. 5, please step in front."

It's my turn.

"So Ms. Contestant No. 5, your question is."

Kinakabahan ako.

"What will you choose if you are in a situation about love, fight for the one you love or let him go?"

And I never failed to hear the gasps of the class. Bakit ganito yung tanong? Sinasadya ba nila?

Pumikit ako kase namemental block ako. Una kong tiningnan si Camille, she is full of encouragement with her smile telling me that I can do this. Sunod kong hinagip ng mata si Vince. Malungkot sya. Nakikita ko sa mata nya. Nababasa nya ang iniisip ko. And lastly, tumingin ako kay Shei.

"If to choose between the two, should I fight for the love I have or let it go if I am in the situation? I believe that the best answer is, let it go." I took a deep breath.

"Because in the first place, the man should fight for you. As a lady, you are worth fighting for. We are as precious as a gem that is meant to be treasured so it is on the hands of every man to fight for the love of a lady. Secondly, if the man doesn't fight for you then he isn't worth fighting for also so just let him go. As a lady, let us be mature enough to let someone go. Do not be dependent on every man's love because we are not the one who should beg for love. It is a give and take situation so just choose the man who is worth having that situation. Do not fall easily. Thank you." Hoooh. I heard the loud claps from everyone. I smiled. Sa akin pa talaga nagmula ang mga salitang yun? I can't imagine.

Since binitawan ko na rin naman yung mga salitang yun, I guess dapat kong iaapply sa sarili ko yun. Hahaha. Note to self.
