Villaverde Brothers Series 2: Jilting the Fearless✓

Chapter Seven

"La Grâce's night is almost near. Please, be ready," I read Raya's message in our group chat.

Bago niya pa man sabihin iyon ay alam ko na dahil nasabi na rin sa akin ni Mil na malapit na nga raw at kaunti na lang ang inaasikaso niya.

Magkasama kami ngayon dahil nag-aya siyang lumabas. Ilang linggo na kasi siyang pagod, puyat, at wala halos pahinga kaya rest day niya na raw muna ngayon.

Ayaw ko sana dahil tinatamad ako at abala rin ako sa pag-iisip kung ano ba ang magandang gawin sa buhay ko.

Marami akong plano, pero lahat ng iyon, hanggang ngayon plano pa rin.

I want to start something new that will keep me busy. Might as well start planning about the business I talked about to Jairus.

"Sa tingin mo, anong business ang magandang simulan ngayon?" tanong ko kay Mil.

I heard her moan a little. I opened my eyes and saw her like she's about to fall asleep if I just didn't ask her. We're currently having a body massage kaya naman kitang-kita ko na relax na relax niya.

"Kung ano'ng patok ngayon." Nagmulat siya ng mga mata. "Whitening products or skin care products."

Pumikit muli ako habang dinadama ang marahang paghagod ng babaeng masahista sa likuran ko.

Pinag-isipan ko ang sinagot ni Mil. Maganda naman talagang business iyon dahil nakikita ko ring patok ang gano'ng klaseng negosyo ngayon lalo na sa kabataan.

I'll add that to my potential list.

Kailangan kong maging matalino at magplano nang mabuti kung gusto ko talagang magsimula ng negosyo. Baka kapag nagpadalos-dalos ako ay walang magandang kahinatnan ang sariling perang gagamitin ko.

Pero gano'n naman talaga ang buhay, 'di ba? Parang isang sugal. Hindi mo malalaman kung mananalo o matatalo ka kung hindi ka susubok.

Gayunpaman, kailangang maging matalino sa bawat desisyong gagawin. Think wisely before doing something. Para kung matalo man, madapa o magkamali, alam mo sa sarili mong ginawa mo kung ano ang kaya mo.

We may fail but we can try again.

We may stumble along the way of our journey, we may bump into many obstacles along the way, and we may get bruised. The important thing is, no matter how many times we fall, we still have the courage to stand up and be brave to try again.

Ayos lang madapa, basta babangon ulit.

Indeed, life is like a bet game.

You either win or lose.

Hindi dapat matakot sumubok. Mas matakot ka sa pagsisising hindi mo ginawa ang isang bagay na maaari kang manalo.

It's really frightening to try, but regret is more terrifying.

I really do believe that a person who has a dream is a person who believes.

But I don't know who might help me with this one. I don't want to ask for a guide from my parents. I don't think Mil can help me because she's into fashion designing, though alam kong may kaunti na rin naman siyang knowledge about this.

My other friends have professional jobs, but they're not into business din.

Kaya ayaw kong humingi ng tulong sa mga magulang ko dahil gusto kong bago nila malaman, may napatunayan na ako.

Dad's asking for something new to me; to get a more professional job like what he said, but I won't let him know what I'm doing.

My pride speaks a little.
