DJ's POV (David James' POV)

     It almost midnight but I texted the parents of Kathleen na bukas ng maagang-maaga pupunta ako sa kanila para magpaalam 'bout Kathleen ,that I want to be her boyfriend ,that I'll never hurt her ,that she'll be happy when she's with me.

     I have Kathleen's parents number ,because of my Tito. My uncle kasi & Kathleen's father are office buddies. At first Kathleen's father pa lang ang nakukuhanan ko ng number ,matagal ng alam ng father niya na I love her ,siguro mga 2 weeks from now. Nagpakilala na ako sa kanya in person & he thinks he likes me to her daughter & trust me for her daughter's safetiness ,because I'm his daughter's future boyfriend daw. Tapos nung magkita kami a day after ,yung father ni Kathleen pinakilala ako sa asawa niya ,ang mother ni Kath. So ... like Kath's father her mother also likes me for their precious daughter & pinagkakatiwala nila sa 'kin si Kath. And  I will never ,ever break that trusts. Ever.

4 am

     Pumunta na ako sa house nila Kathleen. At nang makarating ako't nagdoorbell ,sinugarado ko muna na 'di pa siya gising & they assure na tulog na tulog pa ito ,baka nga daw ma-late pa ito eh. Sabi ko okay lang kasi magre-ready pa kami for the set-up sa school namin.

"She's so lucky to have you David & I know you'll never break our trusts that we gave to you. And we'll never regret giving you our trust because you're a good boy. Take care of her ,I know you love each other " sabi ni Mrs. Cuestro .0wkay ,partida 'di pa ako nagpapaalam niyan ah !Haha.

"Thank you po Mr. & Mrs. Cuestro ,thanks for giving me your trust. I'll swear & promise you that I will never ,ever break it " I assure to them.

"We know that iho " -Mr. Cuestro

"And iho ,Tita at Tito na lang okay ?Medyo formal yung Mr. & Mrs. at isa pa you'll be one of our family " -Mrs. Cuestro

"Ahe sige po. Tita Tito ,I'll go ahead na po para makapag-ayos na po kami hehe. Kayo na pong bahala kay Kath " -me

"O sige ,makakaasa ka sa 'min iho " -Mrs. Cuestro

     Then pag labas ko ng bahay nila ,I walk pa ng konti para makarating sa sakayan at mag-antay ng jeep.

     After an hour kasalukuyan akong nag-aayos for the grand finale. And waha !I finish it at last !

"Wahhh ! Sa wakas !" sabi ni Deen.

"Thanks Deen " -me

"No prob David ,anytime " -Deen

"Okay kulang na lang siya " -me

"Haha ,tama ka !" -Deen

"Okay !Deen can you call Tita ,paki ranong kung nasan na si Kath ?" -me

"Okay ,sige " pagkasabi niya yun ,kinuha niya yung CP niya sa pocket niya & dialled the number of Tita (mom of Kathleen). Medyo lumayo siya.

     After a minute tapos na silang mag talk show (-_-")7 ,kaya pumunta na si Deen sa puwesto ko.

"Ano daw ?" i ask

"Umalis na daw siya a minute ago lang nung tumawag ako ,baka daw malapit na siya kasi nakasakay naman daw siya agad " she explain.

"Ah okay .. sige ready na kayo " -me
