CHAPTER 19

I woke up with a smile on my face.

Unang beses yata sa buhay ko na hindi ako galit sa mundo paggising ko. Na hindi ko kailangan ng kape at ng shower para lang maramdaman kong tao na ko ulit at kaya ko nang harapin yung araw.

I rolled over on the wide bed at ang una kong nakita eh yung red rose na nakatali sa isang puting balloon. Kinuha ko yung unan ko at nilagay sa mukha ko para mapigilan yung kilig. Binili ni Reeve to kagabi nung naglalakad kami malapit dun sa fountain. Tapos ako naman, binilhan ko siya ng gummy bears. First time daw nya makakain nun at tuwang tuwa siya. So bumili pa kong isa.

All in all, it was a great night. A memory that's going to last in my heart forever.

Pero balik realidad na ngayon. Sabi ko kagabi, hindi ko muna iisipin kung ano yung mga pwedeng mangyari kasi baka mabaliw lang ako at syempre panira din yun ng moment. Actually, ayaw ko pa din isipin ngayon.

Sabi nga ni Reeve: we'll figure things out together.

I checked my watch and sobrang aga pa pala. It was just 6 AM. Natawa na lang ako. This is a first for me. Ang aga kong nagising tapos hindi ako badtrip. At parang ayaw ko na din bumalik sa kama.

Hmm... Maybe I can be the one who'll surprise Reeve for a change.

Nagmadali na kong maligo at magbihis. After twenty minutes, I was dressed in a white cashmere sweater, jeans and flats. Dumerecho agad ako sa baba ng hotel para bumili ng breakfast.

Inorder ko na yung favourite na yogurt ni Reeve pati na din yung mga croissant na gusto ko. Dinagdagan ko pa ng ibang food na hindi pa naming nattry. While waiting, I retrieved my phone from my bag and scrolled through my Facebook newsfeed.

Libo na yung likes sa picture namin ni Reeve.

Tapos ang dami ding comments! Karamihan galing kina Ellie, Aubrey at MC. Yung iba naman, galing sa mga chismosang nacurious sa kagwapuhan ni Reeve at tinatanong kung sino sya.

I snorted. Sorry, akin siya.

I continued scrolling through comments when I saw one from Mike.

Michael Go: Three-month rule, Andreia? Or is this just a rebound?

Tapos may 21 likes yung comment niya.

Pagkabasa nun, nandilim na yung paningin ko. Ang kapal ng mukha! This just ruined my perfect morning.

Oo, alam kong mabilis ang mga pangyayari.

Oo, alam ko yung tungkol sa three-month rule.

It's an unspoken rule that you'd have to wait three months before going into a new relationship. It says that those three months are needed to heal your broken heart and to prepare you for the next relationship. This is to stop people from falling too quickly and entering a rebound relationship only to get their hearts broken again.

If this were ordinary circumstances, I'd follow that rule. Baka sobrahan ko pa nga sa isang taon kesa tatlong buwan lang. Kasi after Mike, parang ang hirap na magtiwala.

But being with Reeve? It's different.

I think what we have even surpasses all unwritten rules of relationships.

Some would say that we're a disaster waiting to happen. I'd say we're a love that happened sometime between all those years that we were apart and was only acknowledged now.
