Chapter 45

Chapter 45

This is the last chapter of Lose to Win. The next one will be the Epilogue, Theo's POV. I sincerely thank you for reading Lose to Win and for appreciating Theo and Clara. Despite the slow updates, you still managed to reach this chapter and support me.

Tonight, I will publish the Prologue of The Calm in the Chaos. You may continue reading it after reading this chapter. Don't forget to add it to your library and reading list! 

I'll try to publish the Epilogue of Lose to Win this week.

Maraming salamat sa inyong lahat!

"The devil told me that this one is your favorite BUT try the other one too. That's my favorite perfume and you might like it too. Merry Christmas, Calista!"

Theo read my card. Naka-prepare na ang regalo ko para kay Calista at ganoon din ang kay Theo. Hindi naman talaga dapat ganoon ang letter ko kay Calista pero dahil nainis ako kay Theo ay devil tuloy ang naisulat ko.

Pinipilit niya kasi na yellow ang lucky color ngayong taon 'e gray na ang nakuha ko. Inawat pa kami ni Kuya Pancho dahil pareho naman daw na lucky colors ang mga 'yon. Naiinis lang ako kasi ayaw niyang magpatalo!

"What?", I asked him and grabbed my gift from his hands.

"Galit ka pa rin?", he pouted and I just rolled my eyes.

"Ewan ko sa'yo!", I said and looked at my gift again. Sana magustuhan ni Calista 'yung mga perfume na binili ko para sa kanya. "Kailan mo ipapaship ang regalo nating dalawa?", tanong ko nang silipin ang regalo niya. He got Calista an iPad.

"Mamaya", he said and snaked his arms around me. Marahan niyang hinagkan ang pisngi ko ngunit nanatili akong nakasimangot. Lumipat ang labi niya sa gilid ng labi ko at dinampi niya ang kanya roon. Inirapan ko siya at lalo siyang natawa.

"I checked the calendar. Your period's next week so it must be this PMS-thing, right?", humalakhak siyang muli at hinagkan naman ang noo ko, "Now I get why my baby's grumpy".

"Tss. What if I'm pregnant?"

Pinitik niya ang noo at kaya napapikit ako roon at mas lalo siyang sinimangutan.

"I made love to you days ago and you already think you're pregnant? Buang", tawa niya at muli akong niyakap. God! He's so annoying but I love him so much so I hugged him back.

Theo joined me on the premiere night. Nagulat ang marami nang makitang magkasama kami ni Theo, magkahawak ang kamay, na naglakad sa red carpet. We were all smiles. When we were asked if we're dating, I confirmed it.

Ngunit hanggang doon lang muna ang kaya kong sabihin. Balak ko namang linawin ang lahat sa publiko ngunit hindi sa ganoong pagkakataon. Gusto ko na ang pokus ng mga tao ay nasa pelikula pa rin.

@claradelrio: merry christmas!

I greeted Calista on Instagram.

@calista.riqueza: Merry Christmas, Clara! How are you?

@claradelrio: i'm living in hell rn

@calista.riqueza: I hope things will turn out really well for you. I'll watch your movie, promise!

@claradelrio: thanks! are you in batangas?

@calista.riqueza: Yup. You?

@claradelrio: stuck with the devil

@calista.riqueza: Lol! Merry Christmas to both of you. Congratulations!

Marami ring mga kaibigan ang bumati sa akin dahil sa movie at dahil na rin sa balitang pagkumpirma ko sa relasyon namin ni Theo. Theo also received congratulatory messages from his friends and colleagues.
