I will be the best boyfriend in the world!” I promise to love you and to take care of you. James: “Best ang saya ko! Ang saya-saya ko talaga. He stood us from his sear and pulled me into an embrace. Oo na nga diba? Gusto mo bang bawiin ko pa? Yes nga eh.” Maya: “Best, pwede bang tumahimik ka na? Ang dami mong satsat eh. I held his hand with both of mine and smiled at him. James: “Best, are you sure? I mean hindi ka lang napipilitan? You know that I’m not pressuring you, right?” His jaw dropped, if the surrounding wasn’t that seriously romantic, I would literally laugh so I just giggled. Para yan sa tanong mo kung pwede mo ba akong maging girlfriend.” I felt my blood rush to my cheeks, burning them. He always think of others before himself.Ĭonfusion crossed his face. Nandito tayo para magsaya diba? Hindi naman kita pini-pressure. James: “Nako best, wag muna nating pag-usapan yan. James: “Happy 6 th year, best! Grabe noh? Ang tagal na natin.” He cried in front of me for the first time after hearing me say yes. He courted me for a year and I said yes to him on our 6 th anniversary on a cruise ship. On our 5 th anniversary of being best friends, he asked me to become his girlfriend. James and I have been best friends for 6 years before we became a couple. But it’s more than enough for two people who are madly in love with each other. I know, I know, 3 years isn’t enough for two people to decide to get married. James and I have been together for 3 years. Now that she is settled and happy, it’s time for me to have my own happiness. Good thing my real dad didn’t marry mom because it would be hard for mom and Uncle Ben it they did. She and Uncle Ben have been married for 13 years.
I’m even luckier than my mom because never in my life did I experience a heart break. I wasn’t the one who found him, he found me.
How I wished that I, too, will find a man like him one day. He did everything he can just to keep my mom happy and in love. He healed her broken heart, it wasn’t perfectly mended but he kept it intact. He made her realize that not all men are the same. My mom never trusted men then until she met my step dad Benjamin, the President/Owner of Grace International School, the school where I am working right now. She said she just woke up with a note on the bedside table, stating that my dad is leaving her and that she shouldn’t waste her time in waiting for him because he’s never coming back. My mother said he left us when I was still a baby. In a few hours, my last name will no longer be Dela Rosa because I will be married to the only man I have ever loved. Hi, I’m Maya Dela Rosa, a 25-year old High School Teacher majoring in English. I never thought this day would come, the day that I will be called Mrs. Later, you will know why I chose this title for this story.Read, enjoy and tell me what you think. Kaya, ito nalang muna ha? I was listening to Raizo Chabeldin and Biv De Vera’s version of AFTER ALL that’s why I came up with this. There are a lot of stories na pumapasok sa utak ko at sayang naman if it will all go to waste just because I wanted to stick to finishing one story first.
Like other writers, you can’t finish a story agad-agad. While I’m still finding inspiration for me to finish writing The Space Between Us, I decided to make another fanfic.
