Nag-aayos ako ng gamit dahil mamaya na kami lilipat sa manoir. Malapit lang naman dahil nasa iisang village lang naman kami pero nakakapagod lakarin pabalik ang bahay.   "Maglalayas ka na ba talaga?" Pagdadrama ni Apollo na biglang sumulpot na parang kabute sa gilid ko. Hindi na ako nagulat dahil nasanay na ako sa biglaan niyang pagsulpot na parang kabute.   "Why don’t you start packing your things instead of pestering me, trou du cul." Irap ko sa kaniya.   Hindi makapaniwala niya ako tinignan, "You're unbelievable, sister! Everyone knows you for being the prim and proper among the De Bonnevies and yet here you are, cursing me to bits like I am not literally your other half! Minumura mo ak

I was never ready for romantic relationships. I was never ready for that kind of love.   Yes, I may have wanted the kind of love my grandparents have, but not to the extent of looking for it. I'll wait for it to come. Hindi naman ako nagmamadali, I have set my goals before anything else. Pero kung mayroon mang dumating, aba, hindi naman ako tatanggi sa grasya.   Thou shall not reject the grace from God.   Ilang araw na ang nakalipas magmula noong pagpapahiwatig niya ng nararamdaman niya sa akin. Up until now, he doesn't know I remember that. Ang akala niya, hindi ko maaalala kasi lasing ako. I was drunk, alright, pero nahimasmasan na ako noong nasa manoir na. So I remembered everything from there. Even my dumbest and hilarious moments. I cannot believe it! &nb

The following day, I had to wake up early despite having a headache.   Nagwalwal ba naman kami kagabi.   Our birthday party went well. It was exclusive only for our relatives and friends. Tanging ang mga kapamilya at kaibigan lamang namin ang naroon. There are no business partners invited. Mayroon namang ibang party para roon, kaya no need na silang imbitahin sa selebrasyon ng kaarawan namin ni Apollo.   Though, the business partners that are close to our family are invited. The ones that are trusted by the family.   The Mansueto family are all present. Naroon si Tita Solene at Tito Andréz na siyang mga magulang ni Ares. Naroon rin si Ate Astraea Shyline o mas kilalang Ashlyn na nakatatandang kapatid naman ni Ares.

Weeks had passed since the night I confronted Ares about his feelings for me. And the day I shamelessly told him I don't mind if he'd court me and make me fall for him. True enough, he really did what I said. The day after, he started being more gentle to me. Siguro dahil inaprubahan ko na ang panliligaw niya at dahil nakapag-usap na kami ng maayos kaya naman ay naging kumportable kami sa isa't isa. While he's courting me, we get to know more of each other, too. T'saka hindi naman siya iyong tipo na cheesy kung manligaw. 'Yung chill lang pero ramdam mo ang sinseridad. How did my friends, cousins, family, and brother reacted about it? Well, my friends, as expected, I earned a lot of pinches on my flanks from them. They even tweaked my hair. Mahal na mahal talaga nila ako, &ls

Napakabilis talagang lumipas ng panahon. Parang kailan lang noong makilala ko si Ares noong Abril. Ngayon ay patapos na ang buwan ng Oktubre.   The months passed like a blur. For the past six months, Ares didn't do anything but make me feel secured and happy. He didn't just court me, but my family, too. He's been going to the manoir for days now. Lagi siyang iniimbita ni Dad at ng mga pinsan ko para sa kung anu-anong kalokohang naiisip nila.   Sana naman hindi nila mahawaan ng lecheng kalokohan ang lalaking iyon.   Ilang buwan na rin mula noong nangyaring gulo sa school. Nag-community service kami ni Apollo bilang parusa sa actions namin noong araw na iyon. While Zeus Villanueva was expelled for some reasons na walang nakakaalam kun'di sila ng pamilya niya at ang school head
