Epilogue

Maririnig po natin ang side ni Papa Jayce sa chapter na 'to. So kalma lang po ang mga puso natin ah and just enjoy😊

Studies say that you'll find the person you want to spend your life with closer to 28. Some say you already met them, like nakasalubong mo lang sa daan, sa mall, o sa park, pero hindi mo pa siya nakikilala. And for some unlucky ones, hindi na nila ito nakilala o nakasama, for the rest of their life. Maybe because, they became impatient. Instead of waiting for them, they searched, hanggang sa, hindi na tuloy sila ang nakatuluyan. Maling tao ang nahanap nila. As for me, I don't belong to those unlucky and impatient ones because, I already found her, at a very young age. At the age of 8.

Ang swerte ko ano? Musmos palang ako pero nahanap ko na siya.

And everything is still so fresh from my memory. Parang kahapon palang nangyari ang lahat. From the day I first saw her, up to now, kung ano na kami ngayon.

Hindi ko pa rin makakalimutan ang pinakabaliw na ginawa ko sa buong buhay ko. And that is yung tinakbuhan ko siya nung tinanong niya kung sino ako. Like, What the heck? That was very unmanly! Pure gay shit! My parents and sister even teased me about it.

Pero hindi doon nagtapos ang lahat. It was just the start.

I used to play computer games alot on my PC and laptop, naging bully sa school. Pasok-labas sa office kahit maliit pa ako. Ikaw ba naman, I'm the youngest, kaya spoiled. I always give my parents headaches, but that moment I saw her, even those people I'm not close with, nakita nila ang pagbabago sa akin.

I was never really an attention-seeker kasi, nakukuha ko naman iyon everyday, effortlessly. Kahit saan at kahit sinong tao. But I became a craver and a sucker for attention. Her attention. Nauhaw na makuha ang atensyon niya kahit isang sulyap man lang. It was a new and strange feeling for me pero ang alam ko, I was in a great danger.

I started following her at pinapadalhan siya nang mga anonymous letters like a freaking lovesick admirer, after I saw her in her Dad's party. Her brothers knew about it. At hindi naman nila ako pinigilan as long as I won't do something unnecessary towards their little sister. And she didn't even freak out or get disgusted about it. About what I was doing to her. For normal people, they would definitely be scared knowing that someone was already following them. Pero siya, she didn't. Wala akong narinig na reklamo o pagkadisgusto sa kanya eversince I started this.

I even requested my parents na lumipat sa school na pinapasukan niya just to see her everyday. Hindi ako nabigong makuha ang gusto ko. And the best part was, nung nasa library ako nang school doing my homework, someone sat beside me. My heart started pounding inside my chest nang lingunin ko ito at napagtantong siya iyon. Nang magtama ang mga mata namin, kumunot nang ilang sandali ang kanyang noo, maybe trying to remember kung saan niya ako nakita. She was already six at that time, while I'm running nine. Then she slowly smiled sweetly at me making me froze. I was really nervous that I started hyperventilating at mabuti nalang hindi niya napansin iyon. Baka kung ano pa ang masabi niya.

"Hello po kuya. Do you mind if I sit beside you?" she asked in a high pitched voice pero hindi iyon masakit sa pandinig. Rather, it sounded cute. Really adorable.

I slowly nodded my head and her smile widened even more. Her eyes even sparkled. "Thank you po." then she started reading the book na nasa harapan niya.

Nanoot sa aking ilong ang kanyang amoy. She smells like vanilla. The scent I love that a woman would smell. Heavenly sweet. Hindi ko maiwasang mapasulyap sa kanya at bahagyang tumaas ang sulok nang aking labi nang seryoso itong nakatutok sa kanyang binabasa. Dumagdag pa iyon sa kacutean niya. And she looks really tiny beside me. Parang ang sarap-sarap niya tuloy ikulong sa aking mga bisig at panggigilan.
