1 Corinthians 16:13
Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.

*
She woke up with a smile on her face. She was just so happy. And last night was one of the best nights she ever had.

First: Aga never left her side and continuously let her feel how she deserves to be treated, like a queen.

Second: Her friends who continuously prove her that she will never be alone in the battle of life, come what may.

Third: She was able to finally tell herself to let go of the things that hurt her in the past. She was able to finally vent out without crying. She was able to finally tell her barkada that she is letting go of everything and will start anew with Aga. And she has finally forgiven (not totally) James.

But to make the story short, she still didn't say yes to Aga.

"Yes lang naman sasabihin mo, hindi mo pa masabi. Ano ba, Lea?" Vice asked her as they were gathered together for a meeting regarding the upcoming presentation.

She rolled her eyes at him, "Vice, we are here to talk about work and not about my lovelife, okay?"

"We still have--" he looks into his watch, "5 minutes. Besides wala pa si Vina."

She just shook her head and opened her laptop, "Have you searched for the--"

Her phone beeped and when she looked at it, the message was from Aga. She smiled and was about to get her phone when Vice took it first.

"Ako na lang magtetext dito sa jowa mo. Sige na, mag-discuss ka na."

"Vice, give me my phone." she told him but he wouldn't budge, "And he is not my jowa."

"If he isn't your jowa, hindi mo kailangang sagutin 'tong text niya."

"Might be important." she explained, "Dali na."

Vice eyed her and then read the message himself,

From: Aga
I'm at work already. Have a great day ahead. Will pick you up again later. Kumain ka ng lunch, okay? I'll see you later, my love. Mahal kita. Akala ko I was dreaming but when I woke up today and saw your messages and my wallpaper, hindi pala. Buti na lang. Because if it was a dream, I'd wish to never wake up.

There were giggles. And Lea smiled. Before, when Aga texts her good morning, it will just be a plain greeting and then he'd just tell her to take care.

But his message now makes her the happiest. Never thought love could be like this. Never thought Cupid will hit their hearts.

Hay, Cupid, you're so good.

She tried her very best to get it from Vice but his arms were obviously longer than hers.

"Important nga. Huy, kinikilig ako. Ganito rin text ng jowa ko sa akin, eh." he tells them.

But then he shook his head, "Wala akong jowa pala."

"Free nga kasi si Karylle!" Dawn exclaimed, "Hayaan mo na si Aga kay Lea."

Vice frowned and took a picture using Lea's phone before giving it back to her, "Hindi nga kami talo. Mas type ko si Aga. Girl, ingatan mo si Aga. Sinasabi ko sa'yo,--" he warned her, "Malakas karisma ko. Alam mo 'yan."

Lea laughed, "Gayuma ang kailangan mo, Viceral. Hindi karisma."

Vice just rolled his eyes and used his phone.

While Lea opened the message and typed a reply.

To: Aga
Tsk. Still too early to flirt. But thanks for making me smile. Hope you'd have a great day, too. Thank you for starting mine the way it should be.
