A Short Story by: Ms. Melanie Marquez

Ang kwentong ito ay naibato lang sa akin ni Bert. At dahil tanghali na at wala pa akong entri, eto na lang, siguro puede na 'to. Salamat Bert.

We' ve been friends for a long timeago. We come from the same alma mother. Actually, our paths crossed one time on another. But it's only now that I gave him a second look.

I realized that beauty is in the eyes. The pulpbits of my heart went fast, really fast. Cute pala siya. And then, he came over with me.

He said, "I hope you don't mine.Can I get your number?"

Nag-worry ako.What if he doesn't give it back? He explained naman na it's so we could keep intact daw.

Sabi ko, "Connect me if i'm wrong but are you asking me ouch?"

Nabigla siya.

Sagot niya, "The!"

Aba! Parang siya pa ang galit! Persona ingrata!!! Ang kapal niya! I cried buckles of tears. Na-guilty yata siya. Sabi niya, isipin mo na lang na this isa blessing in the sky. Irregardless daw of his feelings, we'll go ouch na rin.

Now, we're so in love. Mute and epidemic na ang past. Thanks God we swallowed our fried. Kasi, I'm 33 na and I'm running our time. After 2weeks, he plopped the question.

"Will you marriage me?"

I'm in a state of shocked. Kasi mantakin mo, when it rains, it'sfour! This is true good to be true. So siyempre, I said yes. Love is a many splendor. Pero nung inaayos ko na ang aming kasal, everything swell to pieces.

Nag-di-dinner kami noon nang biglang sa harap ng aming table, may babaeng humirit ng,

"Well, well, well. Look dowe have here."

What the fuss! The nerd ng babaeng yon! She said they were still on. So I told her, whatever is that, cut me some slacks! I didn't want this to get our hand kaya I had to sip it in the bud.

She accused me of steeling her boyfriend. Ats if! I don't want to portrait the role of the other woman. Gosh, tell me to the marines!

I told her, "please, mine you own business!"

Who would believe her anyway? Dahil it's not my problem anymore but her problem anymore, tumigil na rin siya ng panggugulo.

Everything is coming up daisies. I'm so happy. Even my boyfriend said like twice. He's so supportive.

Sabi niya, "Look at is this way. She's our of our lives."

Kaya advise ko sa inyo - take the risk.You can never can tell. Just burn the bridge when you get there. Life is shorts. If you make a mistake, we'll just pray for the internal and external repose of your soul.

I second emotion!
