My Silver Lining

Fast Forward

JEMA'S POV

It has been 5 long years since the incident.

My scar was still there pero yung lakas ko has fully recovered.

I even learned not to be too conscious about the scar dahil na rin kay Deanna. Palagi nyang sinasabi that I should wear it proudly.

She always has a way of making me love the things that I used to hate about myself.

Nakabalik na ako sa paglalaro ng volleyball and my team welcomed me with open arms.

It's actually been pretty great considering that we now have a new teammate.

Yep, Deanna joined Creamline after she graduated and since then we have been dubbed as the Unbeatable Duo.

Deanna's excellent sets combined with my powerful spikes have led us to multiple victories even with ate Ly's absence.

Tumigil na kasi sya since her second pregnancy and she's gonna welcome baby number 2 with Kuya Kiefer in a few months.

They've finally settled down and focused on building their family.

Actually, napag-usapan na din namin ni Deanna yan.

We've decided that this will be our last year in Creamline. Volleyball will always be our passion but for now we're planning to start our own business.

Para maka settle down na din kami.

First priority talaga namin is magkaroon ng negosyo at sariling bahay at lupa.

Marami na kaming plans and we even started to meet with possible architects and engineers to build our restaurant.

Deanna is looking for a good place na rin to build our dream house. Gusto namin yung hindi masyadong malapit sa city.

We want to enjoy the fresh air and some peace and quiet.

Oo dami na naming plans but nagtataka lang ako, kailan kaya mag po-propose si Deanna sa akin?

Diba sabi nya nun magsasama lang kami sa iisang bubong pag kasal na kami? So pano yun?

Hindi naman sa nagmamadali ako hehe pero di ko lang maiwasan kiligin ng sobra pag may nakikita akong proposal videos sa internet.

Pano kaya mag po-propose si Deanna? Ano kayang feeling nun pag may mag propose sayo?

Uggghhhh I can't imagine the happiness.

But syempre ayoko naman ma pressure si Deanna. I'll let her decide kung kailan sya ready. We still have forever to go anyways.

DEANNA'S POV

I've been saving all the money I can para matupad na yung business namin ni Jema.

My parents offered to loan me some cash but I declined. Gusto kong kami talaga ni Jema ang magsikap para makamit ang dreams namin.

Mas fulfilling kasi kung ganon.

I've done numerous research as well kung paano ma po-promote yung business namin, kung anong menu and what type of staff we're gonna be hiring.

I know nagtataka na si Jema kung kailan ko planong hingin ang kamay nya so we can get married.

Alam nya naman kung gaano ko sya kamahal but syempre iba pa rin pag may assurance na.
