CELINE

Kusang nag explain si Jho kung bakit may kasama siyang dalawang guys

"If you don't mind Jho, long time friends mo ba yung dalawa? Well except pala kay Abraham, he's your co-worker, right?"

"Yes, co-worker ko si Abraham. Months palang kaming nagkakilala ni Nico, mutuals kasi kami" Jho

"Mmmm okay. Close pala kayo noh?"

"Ha? Parang hindi naman, mas close pa sila ni Nolan hehe" Jho

Ah eto yung nakukwento sa'kin ni Bea na si Nico yung coach ni Nolan sa golf

"Ohh I see"

"Bea's here, gusto mo siya makita?" Jho

"A-ah h-hindi na Jho, may pupuntahan pa kasi ako. Anyway, thank you sa konting chismisan hehe"

"Of course, thank you rin" Jho at nag cheek to cheek na kami

"Soooo, part ways na tayo" I chuckled

"Yeah hehe, ingat Cel" Jho

"Send my regards to Bea"

"I will" Jho

Fast forward

BEATRIZ

It's Jhow-jhow's day!

Naka blindfold si Jho

"Love, saan mo ba ako dinala" Jho

"Shhhh"

"Hay nako, ikaw talaga" Jho

"Ready?"

"Mmkay" Jho nodded

Slowly kong kinalas ang pagkakatali ng kanyang blindfold saka iyon tinanggal

"Happy Birthday!" friends and family

The Happy Birthday song started to play. Both our families are here and chosen friends lang

"Loveeee, ano 'to" Jho whispered

Her expressive eyes tell how happy she is now, parang maiiyak nga eh. Sana lagi siyang ganito, yung nakikita siyang masaya

"Surpriseeee. Happy Birthday, my love" I said

And then I kissed her forehead

"I love you so much"

"I love you" Jho

"Maaaa mamama!" Bella at naglalakad siya papunta samin ni Jho at inaalalayan siya ng kuya Nolan niya

Our kids are so cute 🥹

JHOANA

While eating dinner ay nagkukwentuhan kaming pamilya

"Anak, hindi ba nagpapasaway si Bea? Alam mo naman, isip bata" dad Elmer

We all chuckled

"Dadddd" Bea

"In fairness dad, behave naman haha"

"Hayaan nalang natin bayaw kung magpasaway man, naglalambing lang pag ganon" papa John

"Haha tama tama" dad Elmer

"Basta pag na busy pareho, our door is wide open para sa mga apo namin ha?" mom Det

"Pili nalang kayo kung saan. Batangas or Marikina" mama Lovel chuckles
