Same Old Love (GaWong)

Chapter 55

Deanna's

"Anong ginagawa mo dito?"

"Nandito ako para ako naman yung ipaglaban ka, para mabalik sa dati yung kung ano man ang meron tayo. Ako naman yung lalaban para saating dalawa."

"P-pero Jema, hindi ako yung taong karapat dapat para sayo. K-kayo na ni Tots, diba? Tama na Jema."

"Walang kami. Ikaw yung mahal ko Deanna, ikaw lang. Please, lumaban ka naman. Ipaglaban mo naman din ako. Kasi ako, handa kong itaya ang lahat para lang sayo. I will do anything or even everything just for you, for us. I love you so much, Deanna."

"Pero hindi ako matapang, Jema. Hindi ako si Tots na kayang ipagsigawan sa buong mundo kung gaano kita ka-mahal. Hindi ako yung taong-"

"Hindi ko kailangan maging ganun ka, kasi mahal na mahal kita kahit ano ka pa. Mahal na mahal na mahal kita, at hindi yun magbabago. Please, fight for us. Deanna, just please promise me this time that you'll fight for me and for our relationship. Please, Deanna. Please."

I love her so much that I cannot afford to see her hurt again. I love her so much that I want to try and prove that I can fight for her. She's my everything that I don't want to lose again.

Mahal na mahal ko si Jema at ngayon, gagawin ko na ang lahat para sakanya. Gusto kong kumawala at maging malaya.

"I-i promise, J-jema. I love you."

It's been 4 months since Celine let me go and gave me back to my happiness, to my home, to my everything. A simple thank you will never be enough for what she have done to me, and that's love.

And we're now both happy. I got to fix my problem with my father, he said sorry because of what he did. And he said, he'll never force me again to love someone.

Same with Tots, I got to apologize to her. And happy for her, she found her true love that will never go away. Im happy for them. Who would've thought that the girl who've fallen inlove with Jema and the girl whom I supposed to be my wife ended up together? Ang saya diba, may mga tao talagang para sa isa't isa, kaya hindi mo kailangang ipilit ang sarili mo sa taong hindi ikaw ang gusto kasi marami pang iba.

Ate Kianns is now officially an Espejo! She and Kuya Marck got married two months ago, they're out of the country for their honeymoon. Ate Bea and Ate Jho are also now engaged, they're getting married withing 3 months. Si Ate Jia naman, ayun mother na. Im happy for them ni Kuya Miguel. Pero si Ate Ella? Uhm, nevermind.

"Hoy, sundan mo yung jowa mo dun gaga ka! Kanina ka pa kasi kinakausap hindi mo naman pinapansin. Hay nako, pasalamat nga kayo at may mga lovelife kayo. Ako 'tong nakakatanda pero nganga pa-" Hindi ko pinatapos si Ate Ella magsalita dahil pinasukan ko ng pandesal na mainit yung bunganga niya.

"Aba, punye- bastos kang bata ka ah!" Binato niya naman sakin yung pandesal pero nakailag ako.

"You shouldn't throw foods. Tsk tsk. Lagot ka kay God." I left her sa dining and followed Jema.

I saw her sitting sa isang bench sa labas ng bahay.

"Hi miss, can I sit with you?" She didn't bother to look at me but she moved a little for a space for me to sit on the bench. "Alam mo, ang ganda mo. Wag kang maingay sa girlfriend ko ah? Baka mamaya awayin nanaman ako nun, masungit pa naman."

"Lumayos ka dito kung ayaw mong ibato ko sayo 'tong paso na 'to. Wag mo 'kong subukan, Wong." Pinigilan ko yung tawa ko, mahirap na. "Kanina pa kita kinakausap, pero hindi mo naman ako pinapansin. Sino ba kasing iniisip mo? Babae mo?!" Napa-ubo naman ako sa sinabi niya.
