Chapter 53

"Ito lang ba mga gamit mo anak?"

"Opo inay."

"We already settle the bills anak. Are you hungry?"

"Hindi po Itay ang dami niyo po pinakain sa akin kanina eh. Nag-abala ka pa lovey-babe. Just save the money I'll be fine."

"May naipon naman ako lovey-babe." I hugged her.

"By tomorrow hija you can go back to school again for your 2nd board. We believe in you. You can do it."

"Really Inay?" Inay smiled.

"Yes."

"Thank you po. Arthur thank you. I promise I'll make it up to you."

"I love you Scarlett."

"I love you more."

We went home afterwards and Scarlett's family were at our house. We bought everything they need, clothes and shoes.

They proved to us that they already changed. I'm glad that we already fix our problems.

Yung lakad namin ni Anthony hindi natuloy because he had a problem in his schedule so he told me next time na lang daw. He'll find time and make it up to Neon.

****

Several months later....

"I'm so nervous lovey ko." We're all gathered here at the dining table while looking at the laptop screen for the result of Scarlett's board.

"Just think positive babe. Everything will be okay." I held her cold  and shaking hands to calm her down.

"Ahhhh!!.." She passed.

"Oh my God! I can't believe it. Nay! Tay!"

"Oo anak. Congratulations!"

"Blowout na yan." Tatay said.

"Congrats hija. I told you, you can do it."

"Thank you Inay."

"We are the proudest anak."

"Thank you Itay."

She went towards me and kissed me.

"I passed lovey-babe."

"I'm proud of you."

*ding dong*

Inay opened the door.

"Yes?"

"Kaibigan po kami ni Arthur at Scarlett. We just wanted to congratulate her po if it's okay."

"Come in."

"Thank you po."

We told them what happened. They accept Scarlett's apology.

"Congratulations Scarlett!" It's Anthony.

He's with Neon who looks like not in the mood. Baka nag-aaway sila.

"Congrats Scarlett." Neon said with a soft voice.

They are carrying gifts.

"For me?"

"No para kay Arthur." She pouted.

"Of course it's for my best friend." He hugged her and Neon look away.

I approach her.

"Is something wrong Neon?"

"W-wala. I'm just not on my mood right now."

"Did you and Anthony fight?" She shook her head.

"Hindi naman. We just had a misunderstanding and ask me to go out with him napilitan lang ako." I didn't hear her last words.

"I see. Come join us nagpa deliver na ako ng pagkain. Let's wait the food." She smiled.

"Neon halika dito. Hindi pa tayo nagha-hug." She chuckled.

"Scarlett talaga walang pinagbago."

"Yeah I know madaldal pa rin hehe."

After minutes our food already arrived.

After eating Scarlett approach me.

"Lovey-babe."

"Yes lovey-babe."

"What about my gift. I passed the board." She pouted.

Ang cute niya. I grinned because today my gift for her is very different.

"I don't want to make drama lovey so....." I kneeled in front of her while getting the ring on my pocket.

"Will you marry me?" Tears fell on her cheeks.

"Big yes Arthur. Di ko na patatagalin ito. I love you. Yes! Yes!"

I stood up and put the ring on her and kissed her lips.

Everyone applaud us with cheers and smile on their faces.
