Life will offer you different opportunities, not for you to grab everything, but for you to choose which you should take.

One year ago, nakilala ko si Taipei boy na ang lakas ng loob magpakilala sa unahan ng klase na akala mo tatakbo siyang presidente ng pilipinas-- with swag.

"What's up guys? I'm Guanlin, seventeen years old boy from Taipei. I wanna be a swaggy rapper in the future because i like Hiphop."

And he's one of the oppurtunities life has given me, who I chose to take.

Hindi naging madali ang journey naming dalawa, english kasi ng english ang koya mo!

And if not because of someone, hindi kami magiging close. Daniel played a big role in our lives. Translator ko kaya ang crush niyo! Marahil kaunti lang ang screentime niya sa first book, pero kung wala siya, saan kaya mapupunta ang kwento namin ni Guanlin?

Life gave me Daniel, another oppurtunity. But unlike Guanlin, Niel will remain as a friend, and nothing more than that.

"You signed the transfer contract under our name," sambit ni Daniel

"Sabi ni Mama bago yung araw na mawala silang dalawa ni Papa, live life with no regret. Kung hindi dahil sayo, hindi ko maiintindihan ang ibig sabihin nun, hello"

"Jia, it kinda hurts me, you know. Pakiramdam ko, pera lang ang katapat ko"

"Salamat kay Seonho dahil naintindihan ko ang intensyon ng Mama mo sa kasal na ito. Pero para sabihin ko sayo, I signed the contract not just because I don't want this marriage. Wala naman akong balak mag take over sa company namin, at alam kong nasa mabuting kamay na ito ngayon."

"At dahil narin kay Guanlin, diba?"

"Bukas na aalis si Guanlin, at wala siyang kaalam-alam dito. At oo, I'll be regreting it kung hahayaan ko lang siyang umalis nang ganito.."

"Jia, I'm so sorry for meddling with your life.. hindi intensyong saktan ka,"

"Meddling with our love story, not with my life. Napakabuti mong kaibigan, Niel. I am blessed to have a friend like you."

"That's too sweet, sige ka baka di kita pakawalan"

"He!"

"Pero gusto ko sanang malaman mo, ito yung sagot ko sa tanong mo nung nasa cafe tayo.. Jia, yung pinaparamdam ko sayong care at pagmamahal, walang halong masamang intensyon yun. Everything I felt for you were real, minahal talaga kita ng totoo."

"Alam ko, ramdam ko yun at nagpapasalamat ako. Pero may taong dadating sa buhay mo na mas mamahalin mo pa kesa sakin. Malay mo yung nagbabasa nito, siya na pala yung forever mo."

"Haha. Pwede rin, pero hindi madaling mag move on, no. Hmm, oh pano?"

"'Til next meeting?"

"Yep. Stay strong, JiaLin!"

If not because of Daniel, there won't be any progress on this story. If not because of him..

Hindi sana ako nagi-english ngayon!
