Chapter 73

NICO

Nandito ako sa bahay nila Jho, nang iinterview lang hehe, sinakto ko talagang pumunta nang walang trabaho si Jho para makausap ko siya

"Kumusta naman yung therapy ni Nolan?"

"Haay ang sabi next Monday daw siya magsisimula ng therapy sessions niya. Monday?! Napaka tagal, kaya kinausap ko talaga yung admin na dapat magsimula na agad-agad yung therapy niya" Jho at nilagyan ng juice yung glass ko

"So pumayag naman?"

"Of course, kaya bukas na agad yung therapy niya" Jho

"Masasamahan mo ba si Nolan bukas?"

"Yun na nga eh, sana oo. Pero kung hindi, baka si mama nalang tutal ok naman na si mama" Jho

"I volunteer hehe"

"Volunteer ka diyan, pano yung work mo ha?" Jho

"Uunahin ko pa ba yon?"

Jho then showed me a smile of hers

Until now walang progress yung relationship namin, still no label, even if I tried

3 years ago

Inaya ko si Jho for dinner, and tonight I wanna ask her kung pwede ko ba siyang ligawan

"Jho, we have known each other for quite a long time now noh? Hehe"

"Oo nga eh, parang kailan lang" Jho chuckles

"If so, would you allow me to court you now? Pwede ba kitang ligawan? Hehe"

"Nics uhhh...uhhmm ano...." Jho couldn't find a word to say

"Hindi ka pa ready?"

"Nics darating din siguro tayo diyan hmmm? Chill lang tayo, wag natin madaliin dahil mas maganda pag ganon" Jho

"Hehe oo naman"

"But believe it or not, Nics. You are special to me" Jho

You are special to me

Present

"Nics, magtira ka para sa sarili mo. Wag mo kami gawing sentro ng buhay mo" Jho

"But that's what I want to do. Doon ako masaya, Jho"

"Iba talaga pag lola's boyyy. Haay nakakamiss si lola, dalawin natin ulit?" Jho

"Sure, anytimeeee hehe"

When I was on my way home, Baham called me while I'm driving

*Abraham and Nico's phone call*

"Bro, musta lakad?" Baham

"Masaya syempre, ako sasama kay Nolan bukas sa therapy niya"

"Naks tatay na tatay ah" Baham

"Hinihintay ko nalang talaga yung araw na maging ready na si Jho, yun nalang talaga yung kulang, bro"

"Tagal na, bro. Bro, sasabihin ko 'to kasi mahal kita ha?"

I chuckled "Ano ba yun?"

"Kung may balak talaga si Jho na maging kayo, sana bro noon pa niya yan ginawa. Mixed signals ginagawa niya sa'yo eh" Baham

"Bro, tiwala ako kay Jho"
