Chasing After You

Chapter 28

Chapter 28

End Term

Pati si Beau, nararamdaman ko ang matatalim na tingin kay Ethan. I even looked at Rosean and she looks a little worried. I hate it!

Ethan is the nicest man I've ever met. He'll answer it well, I know that for sure. I shouldn't be worried, right?

"The ex means a lot and will always be... But the current, makes me smile and makes my heart flutter, it's crazy..."

Hindi pa tapos si Ethan ay nagtilian na ang mga tao.

"Ako na lang sana si Current!" sigaw ng iilan.

Hindi ko mapigilan ang ngiti ko. He never disappoints!

"So ano ang sagot mo?" Andy asked.

"I don't need to state the obvious." ani Ethan at humablot na ng gift pack sabay takbo pababa ng stage.

At talagang kumuha siya ng gift pack?!

"I need specific answer, bro." kunot ang noo ni Beau nang salubungin si Ethan sa stage.

Ethan just laughed at him and tapped Beau's shoulder. "Can I dance with Thea? Kahit five minutes lang."

"Make it three." ani Beau.

I love it when Beau acts mature. I love it when he acts like a kid, too. Kahit ano pa.

"It's the last day that I'd see you." aniya tapos ay humawak na sa bewang ko.

I smiled at him. We're really good friends. He's not shy with me, but he is so shy and nervous with Rose. That's when you knew that someone is special for the other.

"We'll see each other again after two months." I told him.

"Yeah... Baka may girlfriend na ako no'n." aniya.

I genuinely smiled at him. "I'm happy for you..."

"I just want to say thank you..." Ethan smiled back at me. "Thank you for being my first love. Thank you for always encouraging me. For taking care of me and loving me. We may not be matured enough back then, but you taught me what love is, regardless."

I can feel the heaviness of my eyes. Ethan Elliot Andrade, I like to punch you!

Magpaiyak ba naman sa ball?!

"Beau is lucky enough to have you. I hope he'll treat you with care and show you love everyday because you deserve that and more." Ethan said while slow dancing with me. "I'm grateful for you, Theandra."

Sumandal ako sa dibdib niya dahil nararamdaman ko na ang mga luha ko.

"I'm grateful for you too, Ethan. Always... I wish you love and happiness."

They say that being friends with your ex is impossible. I say not.

Being friends with your ex shows that you two are mature enough to get over the fact that you weren't meant to be together.

"Ehem! Seven minutes na."

Natawa ako nang marinig ang boses ni Beau.

Pasaway talaga!

"GA King and Queen of the Night! Ready na ba kayo?" announced ni Andy sa stage.

Agad kong pinalis ang luha ko at bumitaw na rin kay Ethan.

Botohan ang GA King and Queen at syempre bawal mo iboto ang sarili mo. I actually voted for Ethan and Rosean. Ang cute kasi nila, eh! Dapat nga si Andy at Xyla ang iboboto ko, pero 'di bali na lang. Baka sabunutan pa ako no'ng dalawa!
