Our Past Connected Us

Chapter 40

The pinning ceremony is held inside our university's auditorium. Nitong nakaraang taon lang ay nandito kami sa iisang lugar dahil sa orientation but today we're here to have our pinning ceremony.

I am holding my candle and I smiled as my name was called. I can't help but to look towards my family and friend's direction. Nangibabaw ang mga palakpak nila and they are all smiling proudly at me

The ceremony ended and I was dragged by Andy and Timmy "Don't you run away from us, Estelle! Hahanapin pa natin si Vanessa!" Nag patangay na ako sa kanilang dalawa at nag vibrate naman ang cellphone ko

Jexter

We'll wait for you at the parking area. Bring Timmy, Nessa and Andy with you

Hindi ko na nireplyan pa si Jex dahil nahagilap na nila si Nessa "Picture na bilis! The whole team's looking for us already" I said at agad naman silang nag pakuha ng litrato sa isang kakilala.

Nag paalam na muna silang tatlo sa mga magulang nila na patungo narin sa mga sasakyan nila dito sa parking area "Ito na pala ang mga nurse natin" Bungad ni Lauren na agad kaming dinambahang tatlo nila Nessa "Picture muna kayo" Lauren said as she took my dslr "Hey man, long time no see" Bati ni Timmy kay Jexter na tinapik ang balikat nito

"I think it's a nice thing though" agad ko namang kinurot ang tagiliran ni Jex "Pa picture tayong lahat para maka alis narin sila Andy, their parents are already waiting for them"

As usual, Lauren shamelessly asked for someone to take pictures for us. Jexter and Mama are beside me while Dwight's standing beside my brother "Sali kami!" Nagulat naman kami nang biglang inakbayan ni Nexon si Mama mula sa likod

They came, how I wish Chlowie, Sef and Rei are also here.

"Sorry we're late, congratulations" bati ni travis na tumabi na kay Lauren "Congrats, babe!" Napa angal naman kaming lahat nang yakapin ni Kyle mula sa likod si Nessa 

"Inggit ka?"

I raised my brows when Jexter whispered to my ears "Why would I?" As the photographer counted to three, Jexter kissed my cheek and I placed my hand in his shoulder

"Congratulations, love" bulong niya pang muli bago hinalikan ang tuktok ng ulo ko.

Bago pa kami makaalis ng university ay nag picture pa si Timmy kasama sila Elton, Dwight at ang lalaking mag p-pinsang Fuentes. The seven of them seriously caught the attention of ladies and other students who are around the area

Our handsome future Doctors and Nurses

"Gandang mga lalaki" umiiling iling pang sabi ni Lauren habang naka halukipkip sa tabi ko "Liligawan ko yang kapatid mo, Estelle" agad ko naamng pinitik ang noo ni Andy. Kapatid ko pa talaga ang pinag d-diskitahan "You can have Dwight"

Napa pitlag naman ako nang may tumikhim sa harap ko "Binubugaw mo na naman ba ako?" Dwight asked with a frown "It's about time, dude!" Kyle said as he stood beside him

Nag paalam na sila Nessa bitbit ang mga bouquet na natanggap nila kay Mama. Kailangan na nilang umalis kaya naman kami nalang ang magka-kasama

"I'll find my own girl. Don't push me into some random ladies"
