Authentic Love

Chapter 40

Deanna

Umuwi kami ni Jema sa unit para magpalit lang ng damit dahil may dinner kami nila Dean.

Jema just wore a simple floral dress but she looks so beautiful eventhough wala itong masyadong make up.

We went to the restaurant where Dean said us to go. A classical restaurant to be exact.

Pagkarating namin dun agad kaming nakita ni Dean kaya kinawayan niya kami so nagtungo kami kung nasan sila.

Nakahapit ako sa bewang ni Jema habang patungo sa kinaroroonan nila. Alam niyo ba bago mag isip si Dean balikan. Bakuran na natin agad.

"I glad you accepted my invitation guys." bungad ni Dean

"No need to mentioned." sagot ko

"Take your seat." sabi niya

Pinaghila ko naman si Jema ng upuan.

"I hope everything's fine now after a month." sabi ulit ni Dean

"Yeah! Life must go on." si Jema nagsalita

"That's good. Well, Jema this is Ella and our daughter Jasmine." introduced Dean

"Hi Jema! I'm so sorry for what happened at that time." sabi ni Ella

"It's okay. I'm happy now." sagot ni Jema at tumingin sakin saka ngumiti

"Tita Deanna, who is she?" singit ni Jasmine

"This is Tita Jema, she is very special to me. Tita Deanna loves her so much." sagot ko

"Can i also play with her?" tanong niya ulit

"Sure baby. We can play all the time if you want." si Jema ang sumagot

"Really? Yehey!" tuwang tuwang si Jasmine

"Why don't we take orders na." sabi ni Dean

"Sure. Gutom na rin ako." sabi ko

I ordered samosa and bhindi baji at ganun na rin inorder ni Jema.

Pagkarating ng orders namin ay kumain na kami pero si Jasmine ang kulit.

We had great dinner naman so far marami rin kaming napagkwentuhan. And i'm happy na okay na ang lahat. Nagkakatawanan na rin sina Ella and Jema.

Pero bago kami magpaalaman ay kinausap kami ni Dean.

"Before we part our ways i have something to tell. Next month will be our wedding, wag kayong mawawala a. Kundi magtatampo kami, right Jasmine?" sabi ni Dean

"Yes that is right. I will grouch to both of you." ani naman ni Jasmine

"Ginamit mo pa talaga yung bata, Hon." sabi naman ni Ella

"What do you think Love?" tanong ko kay Jema

Kailangan ko rin tanungin ito kasi parang awkward naman ata. Pupunta kami sa kasal ng ex niya. Naknampu!

"Sure. We'll be there. Congrats by the way." sagot ni Jema

"Well that is a good news. So see you guys when i see you." paalam ni Dean

"Got to go bro. Bye baby girl." paalam ko

Habang nasa daan kami ay ang tahimik ni Jema at nakatingin lang sa may bintana.

"Are you okay Love?" tanong ko

"Yeah! Okay lang ako." sagot niya

"Pwede namang hindi tayo pumunta e." sabi ko
