Defining Love Chapter Nineteen
"You want what?"he look at the plastic i placed in front of him.It was Maggie's comb inside and i brought it for him to see.His wearing the what i call casual clothes ,the style he did wore when we were under the tree in the field but let's not remember that.I nodded at him and look at it myself too.I wanted to do some DNA with the both of us.Sa ngayon sa kanya na muna and then i'll do it with my father too without him knowing, because there's a bigger chance he might forge it.He stared at me ,eyes grew a little bit wide.He put his hands on his lips and glance at the comb.I know there's even a bigger chance for Ansel to do it and so i will try to please him with what he really wanted from the start.He clicked his tongue."You know this isn't necessary .She already told you—"i cut him off."Yes i know ..but i would really want to do it again and see for myself"i saw his lips opens up a little."I want to have Sir Clinton's as well"i continue.Kumunot na ang noo niya.

His room is clean..super clean and organized.Minimal ang design at ,from black white ,brown and gray ang kulay na mga nakikita ko only the black dominated the whole room."Are you sleeping on that bed every night?"tinuro ko ang pure black talaga niyang higaan kahit ang dalawang unan niya ay black ang punda.Nababalutan ng gray na carpet ang sahig.Pinaghalong white at brown ang white cabinets and tables and the high ceiling has a ,of course ,chandelier."Yes.I live here"pinuntahan niya ang shelf niyang may kaunting space na lang para sa iba pang libro."Nabasa ko na ang lahat ng libro na narito"humugot siya ng isa at ipinakita sa'kin."You said you love to read ,so you can take some with you"ngumiti siya sa'kin bago 'yon ibinalik at maglakad sa isang bedside table.My eyes move with him unable to focus on something else.How can he smile like that?Is that the smile he always had?Did he treats every each of person who decided to be his business partner?My lips twisted a little.I spin my he
Defining Love Chapter Twenty One
"It was fun ,it didn't feel like a work at all"she gets her cup of coffee and drink a little of it.Sa likod bahay kung saan may mga bakal na lamesa at upuan ,nakapwesto kaming tatlo ..I look behind the tall bushes that will look like you're in a maze game hoping to see Ansel ,but none. Just like the last time ,he lets me bond with her mom."Well, gano'n talaga kapag iyong pinangarap mo noon at minahal mong bagay,napasayo na"ngumisi samin ang mama ni Ansel .Hinagip ko ang sarili kong tasa at napangiti .Well,i don't need Ansel to be with us ,save me or something, it's not the reason why I'm looking for him.Kagaya na lang noon ,masarap din na kausap ang Auntie niya.She told me things about being a school principal and that it's her job until now.It was such a dream for me to hear such thing.It made me look back at my footsteps and the things i wanna do."What do you want to do Azazel after you finish your school?"i put down my cup and look at green leaves surrounding us.Outside is really
Defining Love Chapter Twenty Two
If you are now my partner then yes, I'm already your friend.I'm on my right mind when i hit the send button around 2:00am .Ansel manage to penetrate my mind until that time...and yes,really ,I'm on my right mind.This time i know it was right.We are partners therefore we can be friends.Bahagi pa'rin ako ng Aldridge sa ngayon pero hindi ibig sabihin na gagaya ako sa kanila na halos walang matinong kaibigan.Kagaya ng palaging ginagawa ni Ada ,na naulit na rin kagabi,nagpahintay siya sa'kin sa pagbaba.Maaga naman kami ngayon kahit na hindi na namin kailangan pang makipag agawan sa ulam sa dining."Uuwi kaming probinsya sa susunod na Linggo para sa Undas"she informed me .Ilang araw na naman na walang pasok , pagkatapos nito ,magpapasko ,bagong taon tapos , magbi-birthday na ako.Ang bilis naman."Mag-iingat kayo"bilin ko na kaagad niyang tinanguan.Halos taon taon naman ganito ang sinasabi ni Ada sa'kin.Ganito lang din ang palagi naming usapan. Maybe ,next year ,it wouldn't be this way,per
Defining Love Chapter Twenty Three 1st Half
Sinubukan ko namang pagtuunan ng pansin ang bawat lesson na itinuturo ng teacher pero hindi ko alam kung bakit sa bawat paling ng teacher sa harap ko ,naaalala ko ang mukha ni Ansel.I found myself drifting from the way his lips was put in a sudden thin line ,his eyes no longer held the tiny wrinkles because of the tug on his lips,and the way the happiness gets off of his face just to be replace of a void one.Kinakailangan ko pang kurutin ang sarili ko sa ilalim ng armchair para lang tuluyang mahila ang utak ko sa nangyayari sa harap.When i tilted my head to see what's outside ,my classmate's glasses flickered the light towards me and i was then ,again ,reminded of Ansel's face.God!My whole body is against it.Nararamdaman ko pa rin ang pakiramdam ko ng makita ko ang mukha niya at hindi ko 'yon nagugustuhan.That was the first time he ever show that kind of face to me . He's usually smiling or frowning ,but never like that kaya siguro bigla na lang tumatak sa utak ko ang ekspresyon niyan
Defining Love Chapter Twenty Three 2nd Half
'Aalis din siya mamaya kaya dapat mas maaga kang pumunta kung gusto mo nga siyang makausap'Naririnig ko ang sarkastikong tono ng boses nya kahit dito.I slide my phone inside my pocket as i slide my notes inside my bag.Isa pang subject bago ang lunch pero dahil sa sinabi ng mayordoma ay bigla na lang gusto ko na lang din na ipagpaliban ang klase. May pagkakataon na ako,nandito narin si Ansel baka mamaya matagalan pa kung palalampasin ko pa 'to. Gusto ko sanang sabihan ang Mayordoma na ipahintay ako but i don't wanna push it that far.Hindi ko pa nga alam ang dahilan kung bakit niya ako iniinform tungkol kay Clinton Aldridge tapos pakikiusapan ko pa siya para sa ibang bagay.As usual kailangan naming lumipat ng room para sa next subject.Paglabas ko sa room ay bumulusok sa'kin ang init ng tanghali.I glance back at the room,how i wish kasama ang hallway sa may aircon para hindi ganito.I face the direction where the stairs through the second floor is located pero napansin ko si Ansel na n
Defining Love Chapter Twenty Four

Defining Love Chapter Twenty Five
"What?!"naialis ko ang braso ko sa pagkakahawak ni Ansel.I look at him with wide eyes and step away.Bumagsak ako sa couch habang pinapanood siyang umiiwas ng tingin sakin.I tried to catch my breath as another killer thought rush through my brains.He rejected a what?!An arrange marriage?!An arrange marriage!Arrange.Marriage!With me?!Is it with me?!It's me!It is ME! Ohmygod!HE. REJECTED. ME!I feel I like throwing up any minute .Tinakpan ko ang bibig ko at napahawak na din sa noo.Napatawa ako ng mahina dahil hindi ako makapaniwala.I was actually thinking about the issue.My issue.And then another thing surfaces and then piled up into it. When did this happen?Did Maggie know this?She insinuate that they have something before right?And then she ask me if I'll marry Ansel?yeah?Yeah!Jesus!Umiling ako at napasinghap.Someone came into my side and I heard Ansel now calling someone on his phone."Calm down Caza!"hinawakan niya ako sa kamay at pilit na pinapasandal .Sumunod ako and i slowly let
