IN LOVE WITH YOU

Some says Friendship is seen through the heart and not through the eyes. While others say that Love is friendship which is set on fire. And that it also means One mind in two bodies. But I say Friendship starts with loving hearts. You accept to be friend with that individual with all your heart, with no hatred. Friendship can also be the beginning of something romantically. But just how will you tell that person that your friendship had took its toll and that you want to take that frienship to the next level? Will you still try to pursue your romantic intensions or will you just leave it as it is? But what if the feelings were mutual? but you are just both afraid to admit it that you two had fallen in love with each other.

CHAPTER 1"Goodmorning Ma!"-Devon. "Oh goodmorning anak! Bakit hindi ka pa ready? Mag ayos ka na."-Mommy Lyn. "Maaga pa naman po ma. Mag bbreakfast muna ako then ligo na."-Devon. "OK sige pero bilisan mo at baka ma late ka pa."-Mommy Lyn. After 15 minutes of eating breakfast Devon went ahead upstairs to start getting ready. "Sige po ma akyat na ako sa taas, pagdumating po dito si Sam paki sabi nalang po nasa taas ako."-Devon. Sam is Devon's best friend. Just like any normal bestfriends, their relationship are pretty much any others. "Hi po tita, si Devs po nasa room nya?"-Sam. "Ay oo iho, nandun akyatin mo nalang at nagaayos pa."-Mommy Lyn. Sam had already got used to just barging in Devon's room without even knocking. Since they're best friends since they were little, doing so doesn't really bother Devon. But there are times that she wishes he would knock first before entering her room. Devon just got out of the shower shen she noticed him laying on her bed. "Jusmio naman Samuel! Ano ka ba? Pasalamat ka at bihis na ako. Sabi ko naman sayo minsan kakatok ka muna."-Devon. "At ano naman ang akala mo sa akin pagnanasahan kita? Bess naman! May taste ako sa babae!"-Sam. "Hoy! Ang kapal mo din noh! at sino naman nagsabi sayo na pinagnanasahan mo ako? Ikaw nagsabi nyan at hindi ako.At excuse me noh, may taste din yata ako sa lalaki noh."-Devon. "hay naku! kayo talagang dalawa kahit kailan away ng away. Hindi ko alam kung bakit naging mag best friends kayo.Oh sya pumasok na kayo sa school at baka malate pa kayo eh."-Mommy Lyn. "Sige po ma, alis na po kami."-Devon.
While they're on their way to school, Devon saw her long time crush Ivan. "Bess!!! Jusmio ayan na naman si crush ko oh!"-Devon. "Hay naku, bahala ka nga dyan, ayan ka nanaman sa panaginip mo!"-Sam. Just like any other guys, he also sometimes feels jealous whenever Devon sees her crush Ivan. He doesn't even know why he feels that jealousy because for him, they're just merely best friends. Upon walking down the hallway on their way to their classes, Devon and Sam bumped into a group of guys, one of them has a long time crush with Devon and has been bugging her to go out with her. "Uy! Akalain mo nga naman yan, nandito na pala girlfriend ko pare! Hi Devon, are you ready? Samahan na kita sa class mo?"-Quen. Devon didn't know what to do so she just hid behind Sam. "Ikaw nanaman?Hindi ba't sinabi na ng bestfriend ko sayo na tantanan mo sya? Hindi ka ba nakakaintindi?"-Sam. "Uy! Yung boyfriend na hilaw sumasabat, hindi naman kinakausap. Kung ako sayo pare, umalis ka nalang sa harapan ko at baka kung ano pa magawa ko sayo."-Quen. Sam grabbed devon by her arms and started walking away from those guys but then Quen quickly grabbed Devon's other arms. "At saan mo sya dadalhin?Sabi ko ikaw lang ang aalis hindi sya kasama."-Quen. "Aray ko Quen ano ba, nasasaktan naman ako. Pwede bang bitiwan mo ang kamay ko?"-Devon. "Oh ayun naman pala nasasaktan na si Devon, pwede bitiwan mo na sya?"-Sam. Quen's anger triggered him and he punched Sam on the face. The two started fighting when one of the teachers started approaching the crowd. "Pare tara na! Gulo na ito, may teacher na paparating"-Arron. Quen and his buddies then left the premisses, leaving Sam bloody and cut on his face. "Bess, ano bayan?Sabi ko naman kasi sayo dati pa na paglumusob nanaman ang grupo ni Quen eh tayo nalang ang umiwas. Ayan tuloy napaaway kananaman.Halika ka na nga at Punta tayo ng clinic."-Devon. As they were leaving Ms. Lopez stopped them. "Ms. Seron, Mr. Concepcion at the deans office now."


CHAPTER 2

AT THE DEANS OFFICE...
"Ms. Seron, Mr Concepcion! What happened this morning was very un acceptable.I don't tolerate violence here in my school."-Dean Lawrence. "Ma'am hindi naman po kami ang nagumpisa ng gulo, grupo po nila Quen Gil ang nagumpisa."-Sam. "It doesn't matter Mr. Concepcion, kung alam nyong gulo lang din pala ang habol nila eh di sana kayo nalang ang lumayo."-Dean Lawrence. "We're sorry po talaga ma'am! Hindi napo mauulit."-Devon. "Well, kahit alam kong hindi kayo ang nagumpoisa ng gulo, I'm sorry but I have protocols and rules that must be done. Mr. Concepcion, as stated on our school rule book, sino man ang makipagsuntukan sa aking eskwelahan ay mapaparusahan ng isang araw na suspension."-Dean Lawrence. "Suspension?Ma'am unfair naman po yun. Bakit po yung group nila Quen hindi mapaparusahan tapos ako one day suspension pa?"-Sam. "I'm sorry Mr. Concepcion but my descision is final, you may proceed on your classes."-Dean. Lawrence.
"Bess naman kasi! Ayan tuloy na suspend kapa."-Devon. "Ok lang one day lang naman ang inaalala ko lang ikaw, pano yan hindi kita mababantayan ng isang araw? Paano na yan kung punteryahin ka nanaman ng grupo nila Quen? Hindi mo pa man din ako kasama nun."-Sam. "Ano kaba? Ok lang ako, kaya ko na sarili ko. Mabuti pa at pumunta na tayo ng clinic ng mabigyan ka na ng first aid dyan sa sugat mo sa mukha."-Devon.
THE NEXT DAY...DAY OF SAM'S SUSPENSION.
While Devon was getting ready for school a sudden knock on her room door caught her attention. "Pasok bukas yan"-Devon. "Hi bess!!!"-Sam. "Oh! Bakit nandito ka? Hindi ba't suspended ka ngayon? "-Devon. "Oo nga, I know suspended ako. Pero tatanungin sana kita kung gusto mong ihatid kita sa school kahit sa labas lang ako."-Sam. "Ihatid?Ano ka ba bess, ok lang ako noh. Bakit naman kailangan mo pa akong ihatid? I can manage bess. Sige na umuwi kana at ang aga pa oh, sayang naman pwede mo pa ulit itulog yan."-Devon. "Pinapalayas mo na ako?Isang araw lang ako mawawala sa tabi mo eh pinagtatabuyan mo na agad ako?"-Sam. "Eto naman, nagtampo nanaman agad. Sige na nga! Ihatid mo na ako tara na at baka ma late pa ako."-Devon. "Yes naman! Sabi ko na at hind mo din ako matitiis eh."-Sam.
Upon arriving at school..."Oh pano ba yan bess, hanggang dito nalang ako sa labas eh, sayang hindi kita maihahatid this time sa class mo."-Sam. "Ano ka ba, ok lang noh, kayang kaya ko na sarili ko."-Devon. "Basta pagpinagtripan kananaman ng grupo nila Quen, ikaw na lang ang kusang umalis b aka hindi mo kayanin dahil nagiisa ka lang."-Sam. "Eto naman bongga ang concern sige na nga papasok na ako. Bye bess."-Devon.
CHAPTER 3
Devon then started walking to her class when she noticed that there was no Mr. Quen Gil around where they usually his group. "hmm,Isang miracle !! Wala ang mga ungas na yun dito! Ano naman kaya nakain nung mga yun?" As she was thinking outlout while walking. When suddenly he saw Arron with his friends but there was no Quen around. She later then found out that Quen was also called at the office yesterday after Dean Lawrence talked to them and he also got suspended for one day. After school as she was walking out she noticed that Sam was waiting for her outside the gate. "Oh bess, ano ginagawa mo dito?"-Devon. "Ah, may hinihintay lang akong magandang babae palabas na din siguro yun. Antagal nga eh!"-Sam Devon suddenly gave him a pouty lips and her eyebrows met. "Sino naman yang girl na yan? Kilala ko ba yan?"-As she angrily asked Sam. Then he suddenly burst out laughing. "Oh bakit ka naman natawa?What's so funny?"-Devon. "Ikaw nakakatawa ka. Kung makikita mo lang itsura ng mukha mo ngayon, siguro kahit ikaw matatawa."-Sam. "So ibig sabihin pinagtitripan mo nanaman ako? ganun ba?"-Devon. Then she started walking away when Sam ran after her. "Bess, eto naman hindi na mabiro. Joke lang yun!Syempre ikaw yung hinihintay ko noh! Sino pa ba?"-Sam. Then she suddenly hit him on his arms. "Aray ko!!"-Sam. "Yan ang dapat sayo, loko ka pala eh! An sakit kaya sa heart nun, akala ko naglilihim ka na sa akin eh."-Devon. "Bess, may balak ka bang maging boksingera one day?Grabe kasi ang kamao mo, panalo palagi!!"-Sam. "Ewan ko sayo! Tara na nga."-Devon.
"Kamusta nga pala kanina? Hindi ka ba ginulo ng grupo nila Quen?"-Sam. "Naku bess, alam mo bang hindi lang pala ikaw ang na suspend? Si Quen din na suspend for one day.Kaya kahit papaano naging lucky ako kanina."-Devon. "Buti naman kung ganun."-Sam.
AFTER HIS SUSPENSION...
"Bess, paano yan kung makita mo ulit yung grupo nila Quen?"-Devon. "Huh!! takot lang nung mga yun!Basta dito ka lang sa likod bess, ako bahala sayo."-Sam. "Weh?!"-Devon. "Naman!!Basta best friend ko kahit ano gagawin ko. Kung may manligaw sayo, kailangan dumaan muna sa akin bess."-Sam. "Sayo? Eh di ba dapat sa tatay ko? Bakit sayo?"-Devon. "kailangan nilang dumaan sa butas ng karayom bago sila mapasayo."-Sam. "Ganun?! Tara na nga at nahihibang ka na dyan."-Devon. Upon arriving school Devon saw her long time crush again which is approaching her. "Hi, Devon right?"-Ivan. Devon seemed to be in shock. "Huy bess! Hi daw ano ka ba?"-Sam. "Hi!"-Devon. "Pasensya ka na dito sa friend ko ha, medyo tuliro lang talaga ito nitong mga nakaraang araw na miss yata ako dahil kakabalik ko lang ngayon."-Sam. Ivan gave it a laugh on what Sam said. "Hoi ang kapal mo din noh! Sige na bess, mauna ka na sa class mo diba may gagawin ka pa?"-Devon as she tries to push him away so she can have an alone time with Ivan. Sam left with sadness on his face. "Are you on your way na ba sa class? Can I walk you to your class?"-Ivan. "Sure!"-Devon.
After school she was looking for Sam, but he was no where to be found. She then decided to just go ahead and go home by herself. "Ma, dumaan po ba dito si Sam kanina?"-Devon. "Hindi naman anak, bakit hindi ba kayo nagkita kanina sa school?Kasabay mo syang pumasok diba?"-Mommy Lyn. "Ganun po ba? hmmm, hindi ko po kasi sya nakita kanina since after akong kausapin ni Ivan eh."-Devon. "Ivan? Sino si Ivan?"-Mommy Lyn. "Ah wala naman po, bago kong kaibigan."-Devon.
CHAPTER 4
On the other hand, Sam went straight home and didn't care to wait for Devon after school. For some reason he doesn't know the reason why he just felt so angrydito earlier when he saw her talking to him.Strange feelings he's having, somehow he felt a little jealous.He couldn't explain it himself why he's having that strange emotion towards her."Sam, anak nandito si Devon hinahanap ka."-Sam's mom. "Pagod ako ma, sabihin nyo po nagpapahinga na ako."-Sam. Then Devon opened the door to Sam's room and said...."Ano na namang kaartehan yan?Bakit mo ako iniwan kaina? Hindi mo man lang ako hinintay!"-Devon. "Diba nga sabi ko pagod ako, gusto kong magpahinga. "Anong drama yan bess?"-Devon. "Drama?Hindi ako nagddrama"-Sam. "As if I know kaya ka galit dahil kay Ivan."-Devon. "Ah yung boyfriend mong hilaw?Kamusta na nga pala kayo?"-Sam. "Bakit ganyan kang magsalita? Ano ba ngyayari sayo?"-Devon. "Wala nga diba, sabi ko nga pagod lang ako."Sam. "Eh di pagod! Sige na nga dyan ka na! Wag mo na akong sunduin bukas ng umaga, susunduin daw ako ni Ivan, sabay kaming papasok. Sayang isasabay pa man kita kasi sabi mo kailangan lahat dumaan sayo bago makaligaw sa akin."-Devon. "Kalimutan mo na yung sinabi ko sayo na yan."-Sam. Devon then left Sam by himself as she doesn't understand why there's a sudden coldness on their friendship.
The next day, Ivan picked up Devon from her house when they both arrived at school she immediately looked for Sam but there was no Sam to be found at the campus. "Ano kayang ngyari dun? Never pa naman umamsent yun."As she thought to herself. "Is there something wrong Devon? Were you looking for Sam?"-Ivan. "HIndi kasi pala absent yun eh, and medyo hindi naging maganda usapan namin kahapon nung pumunta ako sa kaninla."-Devon. "You guys seemed to be very close.Has he ever thought of courting you?"-Ivan. Devon was a bit shock of Ivan's question. "Court me?Naku no! Never in our minds to take our relationship to that level."-Devon. "Are you sure he feels the same way?I mean I like you Devon, but I don't want to make things complicated for you and your best friend. I think you should settle some issues with him first."-Ivan. "I'll talk to him. Di ko din kasi alma kung bakit sya nagkakaganun eh. Nabigla din ako."-Devon. "Look, I'm a guy too and I know exactly how a guy feels when he's jealous. I really think you should have a talk with him."-Ivan. "Naku naman, super serious ang usapan natin, tara na nga at baka kung saan pa mapunta usapan natin."-Devon.
After school, Ivan decided to drop off Devon at her house. Upon arriving, Ivan even opened the door for her and what they didn't know Sam was not too far away. He's been waiting for her to get home so he could talk to her but based on what he just saw, talking to her would be useless. "So may bago na palang naghahatid sundo sa'yo ngayon Devon."-Sam thought. Upon walking inside her house, he caught Sam staring at them then Sam hurridly zoomed inside back his house. "Ano nanaman bang drama kaya nung lalaking yun?Totoo nga kaya yung sinasabi ni Ivan na nagseselos lang sya?"As she started thinking outloud and she didn't even noticed that Ivan was waving her.
CHAPTER 5
When she got to her room, she then decided to give him a call. But still he insisted that he's tired and that he's busy. After a few days she just got used to Sam ignoring her and since Sam went back to school he tries to just ignore her and to stay away from her. Thou he wanted to talk to her so badly but for him talking to her would not be a good idea as she seems to be happy with Ivan. "Para ano pa kung maguusap tayo, eh mukhang napakasaya mo na. Sana lang hindi ka nya saktan. Dahil pag sinaktan ka ng Ivan na yan ako ang makakalaban nya."-Sam thought to himself.
Days turned into weeks and the two were still not talking. Since then he would just be by himself alone. Sam waslking around mall by himself when he saw a familiar face. "Si Ivan ba yun?Pero bakit hindi si Devon ang kasama nya?"Then Sam quickly hide so Ivan won't see him. "Oh shit!! si Ivan nga. Imposible namang kapatid or kamag-anak ang kasama nya. Magkaholding hands pa at grabe kung makadikit ang babae kay Ivan."As he was thinking. Sam then left the premisses to tell his best friend about the new. But there was something that was playing on his mind. "Sabihin ko kaya kay bess? Alam ko hanggang ngayon galit pa din sa akin yun eh.Baka isipin nya sinisiraan ko lang si Ivan sa kanya."
Upon getting home, he decided to go to Devon's house to talk to her about what he saw. "Tita, nandyan po ba si Devon?"-Sam. "Sam! Iho! kamusta ka na? Ilang linggo din kitang hindi nakita dito ha. Oo nandito si Devon, puntahan mo nalang sya sa room nya."-Mommy Lyn. "Ah Busy lang po kasi pero sige po puntahan ko lang po si Devon."-Sam.
KNOCK KNOCK!!
"Ma, bukas yang pinto ko pasok na lang kayo."-Devon. Sam then opened the door and as soon as he saw her he gave her a really big and tight hug. "Ano ba! Bitawan mo nga ako!"-Devon. "Sorry na bess!!"-Sam. "Sorry? After so many weeks mo akong iniiwasan at hindi kinakausap, sorry lang masasabi mo?"-Devon. "Sorry na nga eh!"Sam. "Ano ba talaga ngyayari sayo ha?Magmula nung maging ka close ko si Ivan from the time na nakipagkilala sya sa akin naging ganyan ka na.Give me one reason kung bakit ka nagkaganyan, if you give me a valid reason papatawarin kita."-Devon.
CHAPTER 6
"Bess,kung ano man ang naging rason ko, siguro sa akin na muna yun. Malalaman mo din sa tamang panahon."-Sam. "Eh di pagdumating na yung tamang panahon na yan tsaka ka nalang bumalik dito."-Devon. "Gusto mo ba talagang malaman?"-Sam. Thou Devon was a bit hesitant to answer it but she was determined to find out what really caused him to ignore their friendship. "Eh kung yung tamang panahon ba eh ngayon weh di sabihin mo ng hindi ako nghuhula. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang tumatakbo dyan sa isipan mo at bakit mo nalang ako biglang iniwasan."-Devon. "Hindi naman yan ang pinunta ko dito eh."-As he tries to change the topic because he as well is not ready to face the thruth about his feelings for her. "Eh kung ayaw mong sabihin eh di 'wag. Hindi yung nagpapaligoy ligoy ka pa. Hindi mo nalang kasi ako diretsuhin eh,ano ba talaga pinunta mo dito ha Sam? Para mangasar?Humingi ng tawad?Pairalin yang pride mo?Ano?Sabihin mo?"-As she started raising her voice at him. "Pumunta ako dito para sabihin sayo na nakita ko si Ivan sa mall may kasamang ibang babae.HIndi ba't nanliligaw sya sayo?Bakit ngayon iba kasama nya?"-Sam. "Yan lang ba ang ipinunta mo dito? Pwes para sabihin ko sayo oo, nanligaw si Ivan sa akin pero dahil sa mga inasal mo at pagbabalewala mo sa friendship natin magmula nung nakilala ko sya mas minabuti kong patigilin sya sa panliligaw nya. Alam mo ba kung bakit Sam? Dahil hindi ko matanggap na si Ivan ang magiging dahilan ng pagkakabuwag ng matagal nating pinagsamahan bilang magkaibigan."-As she started to break down in tears. "Lumayo ako dahil ayaw kong masaktan, dahil sa tuwing makikita ko kayong magkasama hindi ko mapigilan ang galit at pagseselos ko. Dahil hindi ko matanggap sa sarili ko na nauhan ako ng iba dyan sa puso mo. Hindi ka naman siguro manhid Devon para hindi malaman na nagseselos ako., Mahal kita Devon. Mahal na Mahal kita. Hindi bilang isang kaibigan. I see you more than a friend."-Sam. He took her by the hand and he wiped off her tears. "Tumahan ka na alam mo namang ayaw na ayaw kong nakikita kang umiiyak eh."-Sam. "eh gago ka pala eh,magtatapat ka ng nararamdaman mo tapos sasabihin no sa akin wag akong umiyak?"-Devon. "Hindi mo naman kailangang suklian yung pagmamahal na gusto kong ibigay sayo, masaya na ako at nasabi ko sayo yon."-Sam. "So kung sinagot ko pala si Ivan ok lang sayo?"-Devon. "Kung saan ka masaya, masakit man sa akin pero ayaw kong maging selfish.Again I'm sorry for what I've caused."-Sam. "Shhh! tama na, sapat na yung pagsosorry mo,pinapatawad na kita.Kundi lang kita mahal eh, hindi kita pinatawad."-Devon. Sam's face lit up upon hearing her response. "Mahal? Mahal mo din ako?"-Sam. "Gusto mo bawiin ko?Sige binabawi ko na"-Devon. "No! Binibiro ka lang, so this mean??"-Sam. Giving her a sign that they are now official. "Ayaw mo?"-Devon.


CHAPTER 7
"Thank you for letting me love you Devs"-Sam. "Well, na realized ko din naman kasi na mahal din kita nung sinimulan mo akong iwasan.Ewan ko ba, hindi ko ma explain.Basta alam mo na yun!Pero sana Sam, one favor lang ang hihilingin ko sayo."-Devon. "Sure ano yun?Basta kaya ko."-Sam. "Na kung pwede sana sa ating dalawa muna itong relasyon natin. 'Wag munang sabihin kahit kanino. Lalo na kay mama, isipin mo nalang ilang linggo kang hindi nagpakita dito at alam nyang may tampuhan tayo pagkatapos isang araw bibisita ka tapos tayo na agad. Sobrang bilis kasi masyado, kahit pa magbest friends tayo hindi pa din dumaan sa ligawan.Ok lang ba yun sayo?"-Devon. "Well, ayaw ko man gawin yan but I respect your descision. kung yan talaga gusto mo ok lang sa akin."-Sam. Thou he was against the idea of hiding their relationship, he decided to just agree to it since Devon was right.
The following day at school, the two were walking down the hallway into their class when they saw Quen and his group. "Tignan mo nga naman ang destiny mga bros, tagal ko na ngang nag lielow dahil sa huling away namin tapos pagbalik ko sya nanaman ang makikita ko."-Quen. "Sam, halika na! 'wag mo na silang pansinin, tara na!"-Devon. Quen then grabbed Devon by her hand..."Teka muna babes, aalis ka kaagad eh kakadating mo lang. Na miss kita!"-Quen. "Bitawan mo sya, kundi uupakan nanaman kita."-Sam. "Uy!! Ikaw boyfriend na hilaw, wag ka ngang umeeksena ha, dun ka na lang maghanap ka ng iba."-Quen. "Sam,tara na sabi eh! Pabayaan mo na sila."-Devon. She then grabbed Sam's hands and quickly walked away from Quen's group."Teka muna, binabastos ka na nga nung mga yun tapos gusto mo wag ko na lang pansinin?"-Sam. "May mapapala ka ba kung papatulan mo sila aber?"-Devon. Sam didn't know what to say when suddenly..."Hi Sam!"-Girlie. "Hi!"-Sam. "Eto nga pala oh, dinalan kita ng food, para may lunch ka later."-Girlie. "Salamat. By the way best friend ko si Devon."-Sam. "Hi Devon, nice to finally meet you, sa wakas nakilala na din kita. Bukang bibig ka kasi nitong si Sam eh."-Girlie. "Really?Hmm!!"-Devon. "Sige Sam kita nalang tayo later."-Girlie. "Sige, kitakits."-Sam.
After girlie left, Devon suddenly became so quiet and Sam knew exactly what's bothering her. "Uy! Eto naman selos agad, 'wag ka nang magselos. I met her nung iwasan days natin. She's nice and don't worry she's harmless."-Sam. "Harmless? I don't care kung harmless sya, ang gusto ko eh tigilan nya ang pagbuntot buntot sa'yo."-Devon. "Gustuhin ko man, pero ano sasabihin ko dun sa tao kung ikaw mismo ayaw mo munang pasabi ang tungkol sa atin. Don't worry Devon, I won't do anything to hurt you."-Sam. "Promise yan ha?"-Devon. "Of course, Tagal kong hinintay 'tong pagkakataon na ito ngayon ko pa ba sasayangin eh nandito na."-Sam. He then grabbed her waist and put her closer to him and whispered in her ear..."I love you that much! And I'm all yours"-Sam. "Ewan! Bolero ka! kaya pala madaming chicks ang nagkakandarapa sayo."-Devon. "You're one of them aren't you?"-Sam. "Nakakita ka ng magasawang sampal?"-Devon. "Eto naman naglalambing lang, tara na nga."-Sam.


CHAPTER 8
For a while that's how their set up was. Thou Sam still insisted that they should let their parents know about them but Devon still was not ready. Difficult it may sound, but the two never complained as they both respect each others descisions.The two then decided to go to a nearby park to have a talk. "Sam, sabihin mo lang kung nahihirapan ka na sa sitwasyon natin ha."-Devon. "Ano ka ba?Kahit kailan hindi ako nahirapan sa sitwasyon natin. Parehas nating ginusto ito, basta kahit anong mangyari nandito lang ako sa tabi mo."-Sam. "Promise yan ha?"-Devon. "Oo naman"-Sam.
The following days, all students are getting ready for their upcoming formal dance at school. "Devs, basta tayong dalawa ang magkadate ha."-Sam. "Oo naman, sino pa nga ba ang kadate ko?"-Devon. Few days later..."Devs, nakabili ka na ba ng dress mo para sa formal dance?"-Sam. "Of course! Nagpasama ako kay mama!"-Devon. "Bakit hindi ako ang sinama mo para naman nakita ko yung dress?"-Sam. "Surprise nalang makikita mo sa formal natin ang itsura ng dress ko."-Devon. "Baka naman sobrang ikli ng binili mong dress o kaya naman sobrang sexy baka mamaya dyan hindi na kita sa formal dalhin."-Sam. "Ugok ka!! Wag kang ganyan mamaya dyan marinig ka ni mama!"-Devon.
Finally, the long wait is over, the formal dance that everyone's been waiting for is here. Like any all students attending the dance, Sam and Devon are also busy getting ready. "Devon anak, ready ka na ba? Kanina ka pa hinihintay ni Sam dito sa ibaba."Mommy Lyn. "Matatapos na po ma!Sandali nalang po."-Devon. "Naku Sam, iho pagpasensyahan mo na at alam mo naman na first time nyang pumunta sa ganyan. Di lang siguro sanay sa susuotin nya. Alam mo naman yang best friend mo daig pa ang lalaki kung kumilos."-Mommy Lyn. "Ok lang po tita, Baka po nagpapaganda lang po ng todo."-Sam. Mommy Lyn gave Sam a smile and told him that she'll go ahead and go to the kitchen. A few minutes later Devon then yelled at Sam from upstairs. "Sam! Ready ka na ba? Pababa na ako, wag mo akong tatawanan ha.Mababatukan kita ng wala sa oras."-Devon. She then slowly made her way downstairs. But as soon as Sam saw her, he felt like his jaw just dropped and his sorroundings just went slow motion. And there she was, wearing a Purple silky barbie doll dress. Her hair was simple yet it looked so elegand on her. "Wow!!"-Sam. "


CHAPTER 9

Before leaving Devon's house, she seemed to noticed a limousine parked outside her house. "Sam, para sa atin ba yan?"-Devon. "But of course! Anything for you, I'll make this night a very memorable night."-Sam."Naku naman hindi ka na dapat nag abala pa, pero sige nandyan na eh. Tara na."-Devon. Sam opened the door for her and escorted her inside the limousine. Upon arriving Devon seemed to be nervous. "Are you ok? Kanina ka pa hindi mapakali dyan"-Sam. "Wala, kinakabahan lang ako hindi ko alam. Okay lang ba yung suot ko? Hindi ba mukhang tanga?"-Devon. "You look gorgeous!Any guy would be lucky to be your date."-Sam. "Bolero! Sige na, nandito na tayo."-Devon. They slowly made their way inside the hall, but Devon seemed to notice something. "Sam, tignan mo bakit nila ako pinagtitinginan?

Napapangitan yata sa suot ko eh."-Devon. "Ako tinitignan nyang mga yan, naiinggit sila ako pinili mong maging ka date at hindi sila."-Sam. "kahit kailan ka talaga."-Devon. Then suddenly Devon saw the girl she seemed to get jealous with everytime Sam talks to her. "Uy Sam! May table na ba kayo?"-Girlie. "Wala pa naman kakarating lang namin eh."-Sam. "Wow! Devon ang ganda mo! Panigurado ako maraming magaask sayong maisayaw ka mamaya. Ok lang naman siguro sayo diba Sam, best friend mo lang naman sya?"-Girlie. Sam just gave her an odd smile. "Sige dun nalang tayo sa table nyo."-Sam. When they got to their table Girlie then intruced them to her date. "Guys, I want you to meet Marc, my boyfriend! Honey, that's Sam and Devon.Look at them they look so cute together, too bad you guys aer only best friends bagay pa naman sana kayo."-Girlie. The two then shook hands with Marc. "Nice to meet you two. Sam, swerte mo sa ka date mo, siguraduhin mong walang makakadekwat nyan sayo mamaya. Lalo na best friends lang naman pala kayo."-Marc. "Oh no! Trust me, bantay saradong best friend ako."-Sam.
While the group were having fun chitchatting on their table, a slow dance suddenly played. Sam was asking Devon to dance with him but she insisted that she didn't want to dance. When suddenly..."Hi Devon! May I have this dance with you?"-Troy. "Excuse me! And you are?"-Sam. "I'm Troy classmate ni Devon. Alam ko namang best friends lang kayo diba? So you wouldn't mind if she dance with me?"-Troy. "Actually Troy sorry but masakit na kasi yung paa ko eh."-Devon. "Well actually I do mind, I am her date at hindi ikaw. Kung sino man ang may karapatang isayaw sya wala ng iba yon kundi ako.Got that?!"-Sam. "Whoah man! I'm not trying to look for a fight gusto ko lang isayaw si Devon. Come on Devon, please!"-Troy. Then Troy grabbed Devon by her hand and acted like he wanted to drag her to the dance floor when ... "Pare naman! Nakakabastos ka na eh! And besides my date had already told you ayaw nya dahil masakit na paa nya."-Sam. "Wag kang makikialam!"-Troy. Then Troy suddenly punched Sam on his face and the two started having a fist fight. "Sam! Tama na yan! Itigil nyo na yan!"-Devon. Then Devon grabbed Sam..."Ano ba kayo, Troy hindi ba't sinabi ko naman na ayaw kong sumayaw? Mahirap bang itindihin yon?"-Devon.
CHAPTER 10
"Tara na Sam, umalis na tayo dito. Duguan na yang mukha mo."-Devon. "Come one let's go!"-Sam. Then the two went back into their limousine and decided to go to Sam's house to put first aid medicine on his face. "Sorry ha?"-Devon. "For what?"-Sam. While Devon is putting alcohol on Sam's face. "Kundi dahil sa akin hindi ka mapapaaway."-Devon. "Ano ka ba, syempre naman ipagtatanggol kita. "-Sam. "I mean siguro kung hindi natin tinatago yung relasyon natin siguro buong campus alam na tayo na at hindi na siguro nangulit ng ganun si Troy."-Devon. "Devs, kagustuhan mo ito, and I respect that. Kung kailan ka ready na sabihin sa Mama mo, you have my full support. Hinding hindi kita iiwan sa ere. Hindi man madali pero kailangan nating kayanin. Parehas nating ginusto ito."-Sam. "Thankyou!"-Devon. "For what?"-Sam. "Thank you dahil nandyan ka parati sa tabi ko. Kahit kailan hindi mo ako iniwan at pinabayaan."-Devon. "You know I'd do anything for you basta kaya ko.That's how much I love you!"-Sam.
Then Sam held Devon's hands and looked at her in the eyes. He then slowly kissed her, the soft and light kissed became so passionate. Sam put his body closer to hers then slowly took their clothes off. The next day Devon woke up in shock. "Oh my God!!"-Devon. She woke up and found Sam next her inside his room both undressed. "Sam!! Sam!! Gising!"-Devon. "What?"-Sam. "Sam!"-Devon. Tears from her started falling down and Sam had finally waken up. "What's wrong?"-Sam. "What's wrong? We're both undressed inside your room. That's what's wrong."-Devon. "Oh my! Ok wait!Let me put my head together."Sam. "Sam, pagnalaman ng mama ko na dito ako natulog sa inyo papatayin ako nun.Lalo na pagnalaman nyang mayngyari sa ating dalawa."-Devon. "Shhh!! don't cry, Whatever happened I won't leave you. Kung magbunga man ang ginawa natin hinding hindi kita iiwan. I promise you that."-Sam. "Hindi lang naman yun Sam eh, hindi pa nga alam ni Mama na tayo na eh, tapos eto malalaman nya yung kalokohang ginawa natin."-Devon. "I'll tell her. I'll tell her it's my fault and I wanted to keep it a secret. I'll take the blame."Sam. "Sam! Tulungan mo ako,hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko."-Decon. "Shhh!!! Sige na magbihis ka na at ako mismo, ihahatid kita sa inyo para kausapin ang mama mo."-Sam.
When the two arrived at Devon's house, her mom was already waiting for them outside. Worried sick of what happened to her daughter last night as Devon forgot to call her mom. "Saan kayo nanggaling? At bakit umaga ka na umuwi?"-Mommy Lyn. "Hello, po ma!"-Devon. "At bakit yan ang suot mo? Hindi ba't naka dress ka ng umalis ng bahay kagabi? Bakit ngayon iba na suot mo?Saan kayo nggaling?"-Mommy Lyn. "Ah Tita, sa amin po natulog si Devon."-Sam. "At bakit duon sya sa inyo natulog?Meron syang sariling bahay."-Mommy Lyn. "Ma kasi po ano eh."-Devon. "Magtapat nga kayong dalawa sa akin, kayo na ba?At wag na wag kayong magsisinungaling sa akin. Marami akong napapansin sa inyong dalawa lately pero hindi lang ako nagsasalita dahil ang gusto ko sa inyo mismo manggaling yan. Ano, tapatin nyo ako kayo na?"-Mommy Lyn.


CHAPTER11
"Ano?Bakit ayaw nyong magsalita na dalawa?"-Mommy Lyn. "Ah ma kasi po.."-Devon. As she started talking when Sam interrupted her. "Tita, opo kami na po ni Devon. Recently lang po, pero asahan nyo pong wala pong ngyari sa aming dalawa. Naiwan daw po kasi ni Devon yung susi nya ng bahay nyo eh tulog na po yata kayo nun eh nung dumating kami dito. So sabi ko po wag na kayong gisingin, kaya sa bahay nalang po sya natulog."-Sam. "Totoo ba yon Devon?"-Mommy Lyn. "Umm, ah opo ma! Patay na po kasi yung mga ilaw kagabi kaya hindi na po namin kayo inistorbo."-Devon. "Kayong dalawa na pala hindi nyo man lang sa akin sinabi agad?Bakit kayo naglihim sa akin ng ganyan?Sa tingin nyo ba sa pagsisinungaling nyo na yan eh papaniwalaan ko pa kayo na walang ngyari sa inyo?Sam, ibinigay ko ang buong tiwala ko sayo, sana naman hindi mo sinira yon. Pagbibigyan ko kayo this time, pero pagnalaman kong may ngyari sa inyo, tandaan mo nyo ito mananagot ang kailangang manago."-Mommy Lyn. "Sige na Sam, umalis ka na muna, tawagan nalang kita later, magpapahinga na din ako."-Devon. "Sige po Tita, aalis na po ako at asahan nyo po na hinding hindi ko po papabayaan si Devon. Ano man po ang mangyari hinding hindi ko po iiwan si Devon. Mahal ko po ang anak ninyo at papatunayan ko po yan sa inyo."-Sam. "Oh sya sige na baka hinahanap ka na sa inyo."-Mommy Lyn.
Days turned into weeks when finally the two can now show the whole world about their love for each other. For them it was a dream come true to finally let the whole world now about them. But then one day..."Ma ano ba yang niluluto ninyo ansang sang ng amoy."-Devon. "Manok lang naman niluluto ko."-Mommy Lyn. "Manok?Eh bakit ganyan ang amoy?"-Devon. "Aba malay ko sa ilong mo, bakit nababahuan ka sa amoy ng manok."-Mommy Lyn. Devon's mom ignored her thoughts of maybe her daughter was pregnant. Later on that day, Sam picked up Devon so they can spend the rest of the day together. On the way to their destination Devon seemed to be not feeling too well. "Sam, bigla akong nahilo."-Devon. "Are you ok?Gusto mo wag na tayong tumuloy?"-Sam. "No! Mawawala din siguro ito. Kain na lang tayo hindi kasi ako nakakain sa bahay kanina eh, ayaw ko yung niluto ni mama."-Devon. "Ganun ba?Oh sige ano ba gusto mong kainin?"-Sam. "Gusto ko parang masarap yatang kumain ng spaghetti na may pickles."-Devon. "Spaghetti na may pickles?Kadiri ka ya yon."-Sam. "Eh kung sa yun ang hinahanap ng panlasa ko eh bakit ba. Ayaw mo?Oh sige wag na umuwi nalang tayo!"-Devon. "Oh sige, eto naman masyado kang moody, bakit ka ganyan?Di ka na mabiro."-Sam.


CHAPTER 12
"Sam, ano ba yan?Ano ba gamit mong pabango?Ambaho naman masyadong masangsang."-Devon. "Mabaho?Eh eto nga yung favorite mong pabango ko."-Sam. "Ah ewan basta mabaho eh."-Devon. "Bakit ba ganyan ka para kang may super scents. Ano ba ngyayari sa ilong mo at kung makaamoy ka isang milya ang layo."-Sam. "Hindi ko nga din alam eh, pero alam ko parang merong hindi tama, parang may mali na hindi ko maintindihan."-Devon."Sigurado ka ha."-Sam. "Sam, feeling ko buntis ako eh, pero hindi ako sure. Hindi ko pa naman napagdaan ang ganyan so hindi ko pa alam ang mga symptoms."-Devon. "Buntis?Talaga?"-Sam. "Oh, wag kang masyadong ma excite dyan at hindi ko pa naman alam, at kung buntis nga ako hindi ko alam kung papaano sasabihin kay mama. Syempre sya napagdaanan na nya yun alam nya kung merong hindi tama."-Devon. "Devs, don't worry, kung positive man ang result, hindi naman kita papabayaan eh. I'll be here by your side. Sinabi ko naman sayo hinding hindi kita iiwan eh."-Sam. "Salamat ha!"-Devon. "Para saan nanaman yang thank you mo?"-Sam. "Para sa lahat ng ginagawa mo para sa akin. Problema na nga itong pinasok natin pero kahit kailan hindi ka pa din bumibitiw.Nandyan ka pa din sa tabi ko."-Devon. "Eh yun naman ang dapat diba?Ngayon pa ba kita iiwan?Ngayon pa na may chance na magiging daddy na ako."-Sam. "Loko ka!Siguraduhin muna natin.Tsaka ka na magsaya."-Devon.
"Hi tita nandyan po ba si Devon?"-Sam. "Ay oo, aalis ba kayo?"-Mommy Lyn. "Opo sana eh."-Sam. "Eh kumain muna kayo at nagluto kasi ako ng paborito ni Devon, adobong manok, at tsaka ng kare-kare."-Mommy Lyn. "Wow! Masarap nga po yan panigurado ako matutuwa si Devon nyan."-Sam. Devon's mom then called her upstairs so they can have supper together. "Ma, ano ulam?"-Devon. "Adobong manok at kare-kare."-Mommy Lyn. "Manok? Ayoko ng manok ma eh, yung kare-kare nalang po."-Devon. Sam then gave Devon the look so her mom won't have any thoughts of her being pregnant as she is now starting to become a picky eater.
"Devon, tomorrow samahan mo ako ah."-Mommy Lyn. "Sure ma saan po?"-Devon. "Basta may pupuntahan lang tayo sandali."-Mommy Lyn. "Sige po ma."-Devon. After dinner the two just then decided to stay home to kick back and enjoy the night. "Sam, kinakabahan ako."-Devon. "Bakit naman?"-Sam. "Eh paano kung tama nga yung hinala natin na buntis ako?"-Devon. "Devon, sinabi ko naman sayo, kahit anong mangyari papanagutan ko yan."-Sam. "Sa tingin mo nakakahalata na si mama?"-Devon. "Hindi naman siguro manhid mama mo para hindi mahalata na may kakaiba sayo, pero wag mong pangunahan ang lahat. I'll be here for you no matter what happens."-Sam.
The next day..."Ma, ready na po ako, saan po ba ang punta natin?"-Devon. "Basta sumama ka nalang sa akin."-Mommy Lyn. What Devon didn't know, her mom will be taking her to an OB/GYN. As her mom already suspected her pregnancy but kept it quiet for a while because she wanted Devon and Sam to tell her personally. "Teka ma, diba papunta ng clinic ito?"-Devon. "Oo, bakit?"-Mommy Lyn. "Eh bakit dito tayo pupunta?"-Devon. "Tinatanong pa ba yan Devon? I already talked to Dr. Lopez, she will be doing your physical exam and as well as your pregnancy test. Sige na pumasok ka na sa loob at hinihintay ka na nya."-Mommy Lyn. Devon didn't know what to do, at that time Sam was not beside her. The only person she can turn to and understands her needs. After an hour of waiting, Dr. Lopez conducted a full physical exam and she then talked to Devon's mom. "Lyn, congratulations! your daughter is two months pregnant.You're going to be a grandmother!"-Dr. Lopez.

CHAPTER 13

Devon was not too shock about the result, she herself already had a feeling about her being pregnant while her mom on the other hand. "From now on, she'll need to start taking prenatal vitamins, and regular monthly OB visit. There's also alot of test that must be done during the whole process of her pregnancy. It's best iha, for you not to stress too much, hindi kasi safe yan para sa baby mo. Specially, the first three months of pregnancy if the most critical stage so konting ingat lang ha.Oh sya sige Lyn, mauna na ako ok."-Dr. Lopez. "Thank you Dr. Lopez."-Mommy Lyn. After Dr. Lopez left,the two then decided to head home but Devon's mom seems to be pretty quiet on the way home. "Ma, sorry na po. Hindi ko po alam kung papaano ako mageexplain sa inyo."-Devon. "Save it Devon!Papuntahin mo sila Sam and his family sa bahay mamaya. I'll be making dinner for them. Kailangan nating mausap-usap."-Mommy Lyn. Devon coudn't help it but cry. She knows how disappointed her mom was but there's nothing that she can do now but accept the fact that she'll soon be a mother to be.
Soon after they got home, she then called Sam to invite he and his family for dinner. "Sam!"-Devon. "Oh Devs, how are you feeling?"-Sam. "I called kasi my mom wanted to invite you and your family for dinner."-Devon. "Dinner?Wow! Ok I'll let them know."-Sam. "Sam, kwan kasi eh, umm.."-Devon. "Ano yun?May problema ba?"-Sam. "I want you to be the first person I tell this to."-Devon. "Ano nga yun?Kinakabahan ako sayo eh."-Sam. "Sam, I'm pregnant!Two months to be exact. Dinala ako ni mama sa clinic kanina. Madalas na pala nyang napapansin ang pagiging maselan ko sa mga pagkain."-Devon. Sam was so excited upon finding out the new. "Yes!!!"-Sam. "Sam! Hindi ito ang tamang oras para sumigaw ka sa tuwa. Tandaan mo, wala pa tayo sa kalahati ng problemang pinasok natin."-Devon. "Devs, everychild is a blessing. Binigay yan sa atin for a reason. And about sa dinner sige pupunta kami dyan nila mommy."-Sam. "Wait!Bago mo ibaba ang phone, nasabi mo na ba sa kanila?"-Devon. "Ang alin?Ang tungkol sa atin?Oo naman syemre."-Sam. "Ok sige, para naman kahit papano hindi sila magtaka mamaya."-Devon. "Sige na magpahinga ka na at makakasama sayo ang mastress nyan. Ingatan mo baby natin ha.I'll see you later."Sam. "Sige kita nalang tayo later."-Devon. "Wait lang!"-Sam. "What?"-Devon. "I love you! I Love you very very much!"-Sam. "I Love you more!"-Devon.

Sam and his parents then agreed to the dinner invitation."Sam, para saan ba talaga ang dinner invitation?Biglaan naman yata."-Sam's mom. "Ah ma! Mamaya nalang po , may sasabihin lang po kami ni Devon.Eh gusto po sana namin na kumpleto ang family."-Sam. "Ano yan Samuel?Don't tell me ikakasal kana?"-Sam's mom. "Ah hindi ma! Better than that. Sige po magaayos na po ako at malapit na yung dinner."-Sam. He then left his mom sitting in the living room with a puzzled look on her face. Wondering what the surpise was. Then an hour later, Sam and his parents then went next door for the dinner. "Oh mare! Kamusta na?Biglaan yata nag dinner, bakit naman?Magiging magbalae na ba tayo?"-As Sam's mom jokingly said it. "Pwede din mare! Sige na lika na kayo at naka ready na ang mesa for the dinner."-Mommy Lyn.

The two families then had a quiet and scrumptous dinner. "Mare, salamat for dinner ha. Pero para saan ba talaga ang dinner na 'to?Kasi kanina ko pa tinatanong itong si Sam ko pero sabi nya mamaya nalang daw namin malalaman ng dad nya after ng dinner."-Sam's mom.Then Devon stood up to make the announcement. "Ah tita, kasi po ano eh..ah kwan po kasi..."-Devon. Sam then got up to finally do the formal announcement. "Ah mom, dad...buntis po si Devon."-Sam.

CHAPTER 14

"She's what?"-Sam's mom. "She's carrying my baby ma."-Sam. "Naloloko ka na ba Samuel?"-Sam's dad. "Please tell me your joking anak."-Sam's mom. "No, ma I'm not. I love her and handa akong panagutan sya."-Sam. Devon didn't know what to do, she just sat quietly but couldn't help but cry. "Nagbibiro ka ba Samuel?At ano ang ipapakain mo sa magina mo?"-Sam's dad. "Dad, handa akong gawin ang lahat, kung kinakailangan kong magtrabaho mabuhay ko lang sila gagawin ko yon."-Sam. Devon's mom cut Sam off in the middle of his speech. "Nakapagpasya na ako, nakausap ko na din yung mga kamag-anak ko sa Cebu kanina. Since one month nalang naman before the end of school year. Tapusin nyo na muna yung one month na yon then, dadalhin ko si Devon sa Cebu para dun na manganak. Doon muna sya habang ipinagbubuntis nya ang baby nyo Sam."-Mommy Lyn. "What?Ilalayo nyo sya sa akin?Yan naman ang hindi hahayaang mangyari."-Sam. "I was not asking for your permission Sam, handa akong gawin yan para sa kapakanan ni Devon."-Mommy Lyn. "Pero papaano naman po ako?Kahit pagbalibaligtarin nyo po ang mundo magina ko pa din po ang ilalayo ninyo sa akin."-Sam. "Oo nga naman mare, bakit kailangan pa nating ilayo si Devon, kung gusto mo dun nalang muna sya sa bahay."-Sam's mom. "Nakapagpasya na ako, hinihintay si Devon dun after ng school year."-Mommy Lyn. "Ma, ayoko kong pumunta dun."-Devon. Then she quickly went to Sam and hugged him. "Tita, ma, dad, mahal ko po si Devon. Kagaya nga sinabi ko kanina, handa akong panagutan ang ngyari."-Sam. "Sam, alam naman namin yon eh, ibabalik ko din sya dito after nya manganak."-Mommy Lyn. "Hindi po ako papayag nyan! Devon, let's go!"-Sam. "Saan tayo pupunta Sam?"-Devon. "Dyan lang,,kesa naman nandito tayo at puro mga walang sense kausap ang mga tao dito."-Sam.
The two then took off and left the premisses. Both parents were not able to stop the two. Sam and Devon then went out to have a serious talk. "Sam, salamat kanina ha."-Devon. "Devs, ginawa ko yon dahil alam kong yun ang tama."-Sam. "Ano na balak mo ngayon?Mukhang desedido na si mama na dalhin ako sa Cebu after ng school year."-Devon. "Ano kaya Devs kung magtanan nalang tayo?"-Sam. "Nasisiraan ka na ba?"-Devon. "Bakit?Hahayaan mo nalang na paglayuin nila tayo?"-Sam. "Hindi naman sa ganun, pero..."-Devon. "Devs, sinabi ko naman sayo ilang beses na, na kahit anong mangyari hindi kita papabayaan. Ngayon, pa na buntis ka?Gusto kong masaksihan ang pagbubuntis mo, maranasan kung gaano ka kakulit maglihi., gusto kong maramdaman ang unang padyak ng baby natin sa tyan mo. Gusto ko nandun ako pagnanganak ka na.Pero paglalayuin nila tayo hinding hindi ko makikita lahat yon."-Sam. Then he suddenly broke down in tears. "Pero Sam handa ka ba sa kung ano man ang papasukin natin?Kung papayag man ako na magtanan tayo, saan naman tayo pupunta?Paano tayo mabubuhay?"-Devon. "I know someone na taga Bagiuo, best friend ng pinsan ko. Mapagkakatiwalaan natin yon. Duon muna tayo pansamantala. Magtatrabaho ako, at pipilitin kong buhayin kayo.Pangako ko sayo yan.Hinding hindi ko kayo papabayaan."-Sam. "So kailan mo naman balak na umalis tayo?"-Devon. "Marami naman akong naipon na pera, I think its more than enough for at least one month habang naghahanap ako ng trabaho. Sa makalawa alis natin. Kakausapin ko muna yung bestfriend ng cousin ko pero for sure yun papayag yon."-Sam. "Sa makalawa na?Di ba't parang ambilis naman yata?Hindi muna natin tatapusin ang school year?"-Devon. "Devs, paghinintay pa natin ang school year baka tuluyan na tayong paglayuin."-Sam. "Sige ikaw ang bahala."-Devon. "Basta sa makalawa hihintayin kita sa corner ng street natin. Around 10 pm nandun na ako, hihintayin kita dun sana wag mo akong bibiguin."-Sam.

CHAPTER 15
Then the night the two have been waiting for. Exactly 10 pm. Sam was already outside at the corner of their street waiting for Devon. "Come on Devs, 'wag mo akong bibiguin. Nasaan ka na ba?"-Sam thought. He waited to an hour, standing their, looking around to see if Devon is here. But just when he started loosing hope. "Sam, ready ka na ba?"-Devon. "Devs!"-Sam. He gave her hug and helped her with her bag. "Ako na magdadala nyan. Bakit naman antagal mo?"-Sam. "Sorry ha, antagal kasi matulog ni mama eh, sinigurado ko munang mahimbing na tulog nya bago ako tumakas."-Devon. "Oh sige mamaya na yang usapan natin, tara na at baka mahuli pa tayo dito.The two then headed to the terminal bus transit. While waiting Devon started to break down in tears again. "Oh, bakit ka nanaman umiiyak, hindi ba't makakasama sayo yan?"-Sam. "Sam, sigurado ka ba talaga sa gagawin natin?"-Devon. "Devs, hindi ba't napagusapan na natin ito?Ano ba mas pipiliin mo yung paglayuin nila tayong dalawa?"-Sam. "Inaalala ko lang kasi si mama, hindi ko alam kung ano magiging reaksyon nya pagnalaman nya nito."-Devon. "Tawagan mo nalang sya pagdating natin sa Bagiuo pero wag mong sasabihin kung nasaan tayo.Kausapin mo nalang sya kung gusto mo ako kakausap sa kanya."Sam. "Hindi na Sam, ako nalang ang kakausap, you've done enough for me and my baby. Sapat na sa akin yun."-Devon. "Devs, hindi mo lang anak yan, anak nating dalawa yan.Kaya hangga't kaya ko pa pipilitin kong gawin para lang sa inyo."-Sam. "Salamat!"-Devon. "Oh tara na at nagtatawag na yung bus na sasakyan natin."-Sam. Devon gave her sorroundings one last look before leaving the terminal and thought..."Sana pagbalik ko, maayos na ang lahat, at sana buo ang pamilya ko pagbalik ko dito." Sam then held Devon's hands and helped her get in the bus.
On their way to their destination, Devon couldn't help but burst out in tears. She looks at the window at they crying as she bids goodbye. "Ma, I promise you pagbalik ko you'll be proud of me."-Devon. "Shhh!! Tama na ang iyak, Pumapangit ka na oh."-Sam. She elbowed him and started laughing. "Eto, puro ka biro."-Devon. "Eh kasi naman wala ka ng ginawa kundi umiyak ng umiyak awang awa na ako sa mga mata mo oh.Ngumiti ka naman honey."-Sam. He then put his arms around her and gaved her a really tight hug. Upon getting to Bagiuo they both then went ahead and search for the house of Francis, his cousin's bestfriend.
"Uy dude! Buti naman at hindi kayo naligaw."-Francis . "Hindi naman medyo I just had to get a little bit familiar with the place since I haven't been here for a long time. Dami na din nagbago."-Sam. "Oh sya pasok muna kayo.I'm sure pagod kayo sa byahe."-Francis. "Oh by the way Francis, si Devon girlfriend ko."-Sam. Devon and Francis shook hands and gave each other a smile. "Dude, alam na ba ng mom mo na dito kayo tutuloy?"-Francis. "Ah, bro yun nga sana ipapakiusap ko sayo kung pwede sana 'wala munang makakaalam nito tayo tayo nalang muna.Hangga't wala pa kaming matutuliuan na iba."-Sam. "Naku bro siguraduhin mong hindi ako sasabit dyan ha.Buti nalang at nasa states sila mama at ako lang ang nandito ngayon. Eh yung pinasan mo naman since nagmigrate sa states hindi ko na din masyadong makausap dahil alam mo naman yon busy din."-Francis. "Salamat bro ha!Hayaan mo babawi ako sa'yo."-Sam. "Naku bro, unahin mo muna yung mag-ina mo. Wag mo akong intindihin.Oh Sige na, I'll show you your room para makagpahinga na kayo."-Francis.
On the hand Devon's mom was going crazy looking for her. "Jusmio Devon naman anak, ano nanaman itong pinasok mo? Hindi na ka nadala sa ginawa mo, gusto mo pang dagdagan."-As she was thinking outloud when suddenly she heard a knock on the door. "Mare! nandyan si Devon?"-Sam's mom. "Naku mare wala din dito at panigurado magkasama yung dalawang yon."Mommy Lyn. "Alam ninyo, hayaan nyo na sila, labag man sa kalooban natin ang mga ginawa nila, but let them learn from their own mistakes. I know its not right for me to say it, pero wala na tayong magagawa, let them face their own consequences. Kailangan nilang matuto na hindi madali ang magpalaki ng isang pamilya."-Sam's dad. "Nandun na ako pero ang gusto ko lang naman eh, yung malaman kung ok lang ba si Devon, nasaan sila. Para naman hindi ako nagaalala, yung anak ko ang nagdadalang tao, mas hindi ako mapapanatag pag hindi ko nalaman kung ayos lang ba sila."-Mommy Lyn. "Natry mo na bang kontakin si Devon? Si Sam kasi kanina pa cannot be reach eh."-Sam's mom. "Oo kanina ko pa tinatry since nalaman kong wala na yung mga damit nya, pero wala din eh hindi ko din makontact."-Mommy Lyn.

CHAPTER 16
"Sige na Devon, siguro mas mabuti kung tatawagan mo na ang mama mo."-Sam. "Oh sige pero kinakabahan kasi ako eh. Alam ko kasi galit na galit ngayon yon."-Devon. "Devs, kaya mo yan, if you want ako na ang kakausap sa kanya."-Sam. "Hindi na Sam, ako nalang."-Devon. She then dialed her mom's cell phone number...."Naku salamat po dyos ko!!"-Mommy Lyn. "Sila Devon na ba yan?"-Sam's mom. "Oo sya na nga teka lang ha."-Mommy Lyn. "Hello ma?!"-Devon."Devon anak! Nasaan ka ba bata ka?Bakit nyo naman ginawa ni Sam yan?Ano ba pumasok sa kokote mo bata ka?Nagkulang ba ako ng pangaral sayo?Ano sabihin mo?Saan ako nagkulang?"-Mommy Lyn. While Devon was listeing to her mom, her tears started to fall down. "Ma, I'm sorry, I'm really really sorry for everything."-Devon. "Umuwi ka na anak, parang awa mo na."-Mommy Lyn. "Hindi pwede ma,masmabuti po siguro yung ganito muna."-Devon. "Anak naman buntis ka, delikado ang kalagayan mo ngayon. Kung ang pagpunta sa Cebu ang dahilan kung bakit kayo umalis, sige na hindi na kita dadalhin dun umuwi kalang anak. Nasaan ba kayo ngayon?Sabihin mo sa akin at para masundo ko kayo."-Mommy Lyn. "Ma, kakausapin ko po muna si Sam, pero kung ipapangako nyo po sa akin na hinding hindi nyo ako dadalhin sa Cebu, sige po uuwi kami."-Devon. "Pangako anak, hindi na kita dadalhin sa Cebu umuwi ka lang."-Mommy Lyn. "Sige po ma, kakausapin ko si Sam."-Devon.
She then hang up the phone and left her mom in tears, for Mommy Lyn, hearing her daughter's voice was more than enough to know how she was doing. "Oh, ano sabi?"-Sam. "Eh kasi pinapauwi na nya ako, pinangako nya sa akin na hinding hindi na nya ako dadalhin sa Cebu umuwi lang ako.Eh Sam ano sa tingin mo dapat na ba tayong umuwi?"-Devon. "Kung yan ang gusto mo, sige uuwi tayo.Ikaw lang ang inaalala ko. Kaya naman inaya kitang umalis dahil ayokong malayo ka sa akin. At kung gusto mo nang umuwi sige uuwi tayo."-Sam. Devon couldn't contain her happiness. She was so thankful to have someone like Sam, who truly understands her and loves her unconditionally.The two then decided to talk to Francis and tell him that they will just go head back home.
They then left Bagiuo to go back to Manila."Are you excited?"-Sam. "More like happy than excited. Kasi finally maaayos na din natin itong mga problema natin."-Devon. "Sorry ha!"-Sam. "Para naman saan ang sorry mo?"-Devon. "Kasi kung hindi dahil sa akin hindi naman tayo magkakaganito eh.Tapos inaya pa kitang magtanan."-Sam. "Alam mo, hindi naman din aabot sa ganito kung hindi din ako pumayag mangyari ito. I mean don't be too hard on yourself, wag mong sisihin ang sarili mo dahil ganito ngyari sa atin. Rememer, it takes two to tango. Dalawa tayong ginusto ito and all we can do now is to learn from our own mistakes and never let it happen again. Alam mo laking pasasalamat ko na nga din at yung parents natin sobrang bait. Kahit kailan hindi nila tayo pinabayaan."-Devon. "Syempre, ngayon tayo naman ang makakaranas ng ganyan since magkakababy na tayo. Ano ba gusto mo?Ako gusto ko boy."-Sam. "Kahit ano, girl boy, bakla, tomboy ok lang sa akin basta may takot sa dyos at lalaki sya ng maayos at matiwasay ok na sa akin yon."-Devon. "Hon naman wag naman bakla at tomboy!"-Sam. The two just started laughing and they kept on talking about what would it be like once their baby comes out. "Siguro paglumabas ang baby natin ako ang kamukha."-Sam. "Eh bakit naman?Ayaw mo ng hati?"-Devon. "Ay hon, wag kang titingin sa mga pangit ha baka maging kamukha ng baby natin yan."-Sam. Devon couldn't help but laugh and ended up hitting Sam on his head. "Aray!"-Sam. "Eh kasi ang sama mo, eh di hindi na ako sayo titingin kung ganun."-Devon. "Ouch!!Kung ganun pala mahilig ka sa panget? Kung panget ako ano pakaya itsura ng totoong panget sa mundo."-Sam. "Tama na nga yan puro ka kalokohan eh. Eto na nasa Manila na tayo.Lika na at hinihintay na tayo nila mama."-Devon.
CHAPTER 17
Upon gettting home, both parents were already outside wating for them. And as soon as Mommy Lyn saw her daughter she just broke drown in tears and gave Devon a tight hug. "Anak, salamat naman at kahit papaano nakinig ka sa akin."-Mommy Lyn. "Ma, I'm really sorry!"-Devon. "Shhhh!! Tama na, at makakasama sa baby mo yan."-Mommy Lyn. On the other hand when Sam saw his parents, his mom gave a hug and said-"Thank you anak at inuwi mo dito si Devon."-Sam's mom. "Son, I know that this might not be the right time to say it but I want you to know that I'm proud you."-Sam's dad. "Bakit naman po pa?"-Sam. "Kasi you were man enough to take responsibilities of your own actions. And Adult enough to face the consequences of what you two did.Dahil alam kong hindi madali, despite of everything hindi mo pinabayaan si Devon.And for that I'm really proud of you. I would've probably done the same thing you did."-Sam's dad. "Thanks pa!Ayaw ko lang naman po kasing malayo sila sa akin."-Sam. "Sam, iho, maraming salamat sa lahat, dahil kahit papaano hindi mo pinabayaan si Devon. Alam kong mga bata pa kayo at marami pang pwedeng mangyari and despite of what happened hindi mo iniwan si Devon. You just proved me how much you love my daughter and you're willing to take risks just to be with them."-Mommy Lyn. "Eh tita, sorry po sa lahat ng nagawa ko.Alam ko naman po na kahit napatawad nyo na ako eh hinding hindi mabubura ang mga kasalanan na nagawa ko sa inyo."-Sam. "Ang importante ngayon eh natuto kayong dalawa sa mga kasalanan na nagawa ninyo. And now you have a little one on the way siguraduhin ninyong yung anak ninyo ay hindi gagawin o uulitin ang mga pagkakamaling nagawa ninyo."-Mommy Lyn. "Salamat po ulit. "Alam ninyo walang sinumang magulang na hindi matitiis ang kanyang anak, Kahit gaano pa kalaki ang mga kasalanang nagawa ninyo, mapapatawad at mapapatawad din kayo. Mararanasan nyo din yan."-Sam's mom.
After a few days , Devon and Sam decided to go back to school since there's only one month before the end of school year and since this would be their last year in high school and the two will finally be graduating. Thou it was difficult for her, she made herself go to school. Waking up in the morning was probably the worst part of her pregnancy. Since they only live right next door to each other, Devon decided to move in with Sam so he can help her with things she needs. After a month the two then graduated high school in which their parents were proud of them. After graduating Sam decided to find a job since Devon's last term of pregnancy is nearly approaching. With baby stuff they need, he must find some way to help them financially. The two then got busier getting everything ready for the coming of their baby, since they're having a girl they decided to name her Samantha Danielle.
Months had past and finally theirs only days or hours left before they see their little angel.

*As they say love is blind. It blinds you with everything. It would make you do things you don't normally do and you wouldn't care what other will say. I was a bit hesitant writing this FanFic. I've thought of it many times before I actually decided to go for it. I know many of you can relate with the story line. What insprired me to write this one is the youths of today. Now unwanted pregnancies and unwanted child is a very common thing to teenagers of today. Having unsafe sex and abandoning the girl upon receving the news that they're pregnant. We all make mistakes and that's normal because nobody is perfect but what we need to do is to learn from that mistake and not to do it again. Let's all be thankful that we have parents that's always their behind us, despite of all the mistakes and lies we do and have, they never fail to love us unconditionally. Again I would like to thank everyone for supporting this FanFic. I really really appreciate your comments and your likes on my fb wall. It truly means alot to a writer like me to received such comments from my readers.*
