Maddox and I are still together. We're in our last year in college. Our 5-year relationship was never been easy. Maraming beses kaming hindi nagkakaintindihan. But we made sure it was settled before it will take down our relationship. Lagi nitong pinaaalala na hindi kami ang mag-kaaway. It was the "problem" versus us.

Same as to my studies. My 4 years in college is never been easyy. Ngayon ko lamang naranasan na magkaroon ng 1 oras na tulog dahil sa dami ng mga kailangang matapos na requirements. During my second year I become our department representative for quiz bee. Napanalo ko naman iyon. On my third year I become the Miss Psychology and 1st runner up naman sa Miss UST. I become popular because of that. Ngayong fourth year ay president naman ng aming org.

I'm still glad I have Maddox support all the way but I also made sure he got my back too.. Natuto na ako roon.

Sa tagal na naming dalawa ay wala pa ring nangyayari. We still don't do it.. He said he will wait when I'm ready. He's contented to what can I give. Masaya ako dahil doon. He really knows me.

He reconcile to his mother. Pero hindi na muna ulit ito umuwi sa kanilang bahay. He stayed on Sab condo maybe because I can sleep over to him. His relationship with his parents is doing good.

Naging kabaligtaran naman iyon ng akin.

"Manang, kanina ko pa pong naririnig na nagsisigawan si Mommy at Daddy sa taas. Sinabi nyo po bang nandito ako?"

"Oo hija. Sabi ay bababa na din agad. "

I heard a loud footsteps approaching us. I see Mommy's bloodshot eyes.

"Hija.." agad itong dumalo at yumakap sa akin.

"Mommy.. are you okay?"

"I told you Miranda! It was a nice offer! Pag-isipan mo naman muna! Don't put your pride first!" agad ding bumaba ang boses ni Daddy nang makita niya ako

"Daddy.."

"Hija.. hindi lang kami nagkaunawaan ng Mommy mo.."

"What is it?"

"It's about business-"

"I already said no Arthur! Respect that!!" pagsusumigaw ni Mommy. Dahil sa emosyon nito ay halos mawalan ito ng malay.

"Mommy!! Manang get some water po" utos ko.

When she calmed down I walked her to their room. Pinagpahinga ko siya at hindi muna pinakausap kay Daddy.

"Pasensya na hija. Hindi ko gusto na makita mo kaming nagtatalo ng Mommy mo.."

"Don't stress her too much Daddy. Masama iyon sa kanya. Start listening to her."
