Deanna's Pov

Maaga akong pumasok sa office para maaga din akong makauwi dadaanan ko pa si Jema para sa isusuot namin sa birthday party ni Mr. Permentilla

Mag-aalibi nalang sana ako na hindi makakapunta kaso si Jema mukhang trip si Chiara sya pa talaga ang magsabi na pupunta kami

Kasi ayaw ka nyang pumunta mag-isa

" Boss may bisita po kayo " bungad ni Ced kaya umangat ako ng tingin kumunot ang noo ko uhm kung si Jema yun sya na ang dumiretyo dito

Mhmh okay then, papasukin mo nalang sagot ko tumango lang si Ced at nagpaalam inayos ko naman ang upo at suot ko

" SURPRISE! " sigaw ng kilala kong boses kaya napangiti ako kahit ang totoo hindi ako makapaniwala na nandito sya

Oh my God! I can't believe you're here sabay yakap ko sa kanya tumawa lang sya

" Now you need to believe silly i'm here " she said and giggled

So what made you decide to come here? I asked

" Nothing special, you know just bored in US so I came here " she boredly replied I laughed

So how long you'll staying? I asked

" Don't know yet, we'll see if I  felt bored here gonna fly to US right away hehe " hay she never changed easy go lucky

You're staying with your grandparents?

" Nah in a condo, i'll just visit them often " she replied ayaw parin nyang may kasama

So any plans? I asked

" Hehe no plans at all Deans kinda tired you know i'm here to relax with you " she smirked oh my! I can feel its not going to be easy

U-Uhm g-great hope you'll enjoy your vacation I said without looking at her

" Of course D you're here, all I thought you're just here for a vacation with your grandparents " she said with a curious look

A-Ah y-yeah that's all I thought too but Lolo and Lola insisted for me to stay and run the company since i'm their only heir thats why she just nodded

" Well maybe now I have the reason to get back here often to see you of course " she said happily I cleared my throat

" Hehe you have your family here too " I replied she gave me a weak smile

" Yeah, so D I have to go kinda tired tho catch up soon " she said I just nodded then she walks away

Uhm hindi maganda ang pakiramdam ko sa bakasyon nya

Tinapos ko na lahat ng gagawin ko para makauwi ako sa bahay nakausap ko na yung designer ng damit namin ni Jema ready na daw tingin nalang daw kami ng type namin

Pagdating ko sa bahay nadatnan ko si Jema sa living room nakabihis na sya tumingin naman sya sa akin

Hi there Love are you ready? I asked she nodded I kissed her cheeks

" Yeah sabi mo kasi papunta kana kanina " she replied

Okay then Love lets go? I asked

" Yes tara " she said happily uhm good excited ang mahal ko

May gusto ka bang daanan muna? tanong ko

" Wala i'm good po " sabi naman nya tumango nalang ako saka dumiretyo sa designer namin inalalayan ko namang bumaba ang mahal ko saka kami naglakad

" Nice to see you again Ms. Wong and to you Ma'am " bati sa amin

" Uhm Jema nalang " nakangiting sabi ng mahal ko

Uhm Love this is Ponggay our family designer, Ponggay she's my girlfriend pakilala ko nagkamayan naman sila

" You have a gorgeous girlfriend Ms. Wong i'm so happy for you. This way please " she said sinundan lang namin sya

" Deanna ang gaganda pero for sure ang mamahal " bulong ni Jema natawa lang ako

" Ma'am Jema you can tell me everything you want for your suit so that I can adjust, I have a sketch here " sabay abot ni Ponggay ng folder pinanood ko lang sila tumitingin din ako pero yung Boss ko ang bahala hehe

" Uhm Ponggay I just want a simple but elegant dress please " Jema said Pongs just nodded

" How about this one Jema " Pongs pointed a fish tailed black dress with a diamond beads

" Oh its lovely, how about for Deanna I want her to wear black coat and white for her longsleeve or vice versa " she said Pongs just smiled

" Well great choice Jema, I can also put some beads just like yours so that it will also be paired " Jema nodded and smiled

Okay nakatakas ako sa suit na bulaklakin😅

" Okay then thank you Jema, ako na ang bahala sa mask nyo, we'll deliver right away " Pongs said happily

" Thank you Ponggay " Jema said and shook her hand

Hindi naman pala kayo mahihirapan mamili hehe tumawa naman sila

" Magaling kasing mamili itong jowa mo Deans " sagot naman ni Pongs I agreed hehe

" Hindi naman ayaw ko lang ng masyadong decorated na damit " sagot naman ni Jema mas okay parin talaga kung simple

" Totoo naman yan girl ang iba kasi gusto yung ang daming nilalagay na accesories pero ikaw ang simple lang " sagot ni Pongs

Pongs thank you again so we better get going na sabi ko naman tumango lang sya and we bid our goodbyes

Love you can have a nap sabi ko kay Jema pansin ko humihikab sya

" I'm okay po " sagot naman nya

Ang ganda ng pinili mong damit natin Love ngumiti naman sya

" I'm glad you like it " she said

Yeah Love akala ko nga bulaklakin na naman hehe tumawa din sya

" Ano ka ba yung suit natin yun si Lola talaga ang namili since bohemian attire tayo saka bagay naman sayo yun hehe " uhm mukha namang hindi

Well hindi lang siguro ako sanay magsuot ng ganun Love akala ko nga hahabulin na ako ng butterfly nun hehe sagot ko nakatanggap tuloy ako ng hampas

" Masanay kana lalo at mahilig sa bulaklak si Lola " sagot naman nya tumawa naman ako

Papasok na sana kami ng gate ng may car na nakaharang nagtaka naman ako dahil hindi pamilyar ang sasakyan tinignan ko si Jema nakakunot ang noo

Bumusina ako para sana bigyan kami ng daan pero bigo ako bababa na ako ng biglang hawakan ni Jema ang braso ko

" Hey are you sure na bababa ka? Baka delikado malay mo masamang tao yan " nag-aalalang sabi nya

Shhh its fine Love nasa harap lang tayo ng bahay kung masamang tao yan hindi yan makakapasok dito sa higpit ng security

" O-Okay m-mag-ingat ka po " saka nya ako binigyan ng tipid na ngiti hinalikan ko ang kamay nya bago ako bumaba

Pagbaba ko sakto din na nag-open ang door ng kotse saka patakbong yumakap at humalik sa akin sa pisngi

SH*T!

PATAY!

I froze but easily recovered naitulak ko sya ng bahagya kaya nagulat din sya

" DEANNA! " patay talaga ako napapikit nalang akong humarap sa mahal ko na ngayon ay nakababa na at nakataas ang kilay napako ata ako sa kinatatayuan ko bakit hindi ako makahakbang

" Sino sya? / Who is she? " sabay na tanong nila lupa lamunin mo na ako lumapit si Jema saka hinawakan ang braso ko

L-Love k-kaibigan ko from US kababata ko rin nauutal na sabi ko humigpit ang hawak nya tumaas ang kilay ng katabi ko

" Oh Hi I'm Jessica Margarett, Jema for short Deanna's fiancee " Jema said in her sarcastic tone

" Never heard Deanna's already engaged by the way i'm Caitlyn Viray or Cait her buddy or partner in US " Jema just raised her eyebrows hindi ako makapagsalita

" Well now you know, maybe my love forgot to tell you coz we've been busy. You know preparing for married life " Jema said Cait just nodded I can feel the tension here

" Yeah she didn't mention, but congrats to the both of you. Deanna change a lot no more one night stand huh Deanna? " she raised her eyebrows nakaramdam ako ng kurot sa tagiliran ko napangiwi nalang ako

Cait no need to tell about those kind of stuff, I love Jema so much I replied

" Funny Deanna, now you know how to say that you love someone. You never love anyone Deanna besides you don't even know how to love " she said naiirita na ako sa mga sinasabi nya

Cait just stop it I warned her she just smirked tahimik lang si Jema na nakikinig

" Okay then Jema Deanna see you around " she said and started to walk but Jema followed her I creased my forehead sya pa ang nagsara ng door ni Cait oh close sila?

Hey Love sakay na para makapasok na tayo sabi ko tumango naman sya. What did you tell to Cait?

" I just warned her, that i'm not a good friend so she must know her limitation " she said seriously yieh kilig naman ako

Territorial naman ng Jemalyn

She's a good friend Love you don't have to worry

" Sabi mo, but I know her actions Deanna she's like Chiara " sagot nya habang naglalakad kami papunta sa room nailing nalang ako

Trust me Love I won't do anything that might hurt you I assured her tumango lang sya saka pumasok sa bathroom sa baba na din ako para hindi sayang ang oras pagkatapos ko umakyat na ako ulit nakaupo na si Jema sa bed namin nakasandal sa headboard

" Hey Love do you want to visit your family? " I asked ngumiti sya agad

" Yes of course po, pero busy ka pa " she said I smiled

" We'll go there Love, after Mr. Permentilla's birthday " I said she hugged me

" Thank you Deanna, miss na miss na ko na din sila " sabi nya hinalikan ko lang yung ulo nya

I know Love that you miss them so bad I replied

" So who's Cait? " she asked out of nowhere I sighed akala ko nakalimutan na nya

Hindi nya makakalimutan yung nakita nyang halik at yakap

U-Uhm she's my childhood friend Love nung nagmigrate ako ng US with Lola and Lolo she's our neighbor we used to be playmates hanggang hindi kami mapaghiwalay hanggang college same rin kami ng course na tinapos namin. She knows my story yung kay Dad at Mom. She knows how cold hearted I was

" Kaya pala ang hirap sa kanyang maniwala na mahal mo ako " seryosong sagot nya tumango lang ako

Don't mind about her Love ako ang bahala papatunayan ko na nagbago na ako tumango lang sya

" Can we rest now? " she said alam ko naman kanina pa sya inaantok sa car palang tumango ako at inalalayan syang mahiga

Rest well Love I love you I kissed her forehead

" Goodnight Deanna " she said and hugged me I smiled

" Goodnight gorgeous dream of me " I whispered and gave her a peck on her lips
