Episode 17
Jayjay's point of view
Tripp was discharged from the hospital...
I'm at his house now, making him some soup.
He's relaxing on the couch.
Ohhh! Look at my little prince 😄
"The soup's ready, Tripp!"
"Okay, baby!"
My baby...
I smiled involuntarily.
I took the soup and went to him.
My hands were burning...the soup was so hot...
Just as I was about to put the soup on the table, it spilled on my hand...
"Ahhhh!" I screamed.
Tripp immediately ran to my side...
"Jayjay!"
"Tripp, soup spilled on my hand...it hurts so much!"
"Okay, my love, let's wash it with water..." he said and turned on the tap and washed my hand with cold water.
Then he kissed my hand...
"Be careful, baby...it could have been worse..."
"Okay Tripp, I'm fine...come on, drink your soup."
We sat down at the table...
Before he could take the spoon, I took it and offered Tripp a little soup...
Tripp smiled and drank the soup.
I fed him the soup little by little.
We were just like mother and son 😂
"What do you want to do?" I asked.
"Hmm...let's watch a movie!"
"Okay!"
We lay down on the sofa...we pulled a thin blanket over us...I rested my head on his shoulder...
We chose a romantic movie...
While watching the movie, Trippin's head suddenly gently fell onto mine...
When I looked, I realized he had fallen asleep...
I started playing with his hair...
He was even more handsome in his sleep...
My hand slowly moved from his hair towards his lips...
I don't know...but it felt like I had done this to someone else before...
I was experiencing déjà vu...
At that moment, I received a notification on my phone.
When I answered the phone, I saw a message from Ci-n...
It was quite long...
From Ci-n:
"Dear Jayjay... First of all, I apologize profusely for everything, both on my own behalf and on behalf of Section E... I know... you can't forgive us... because what we did to you was so cruel... but... please give us... me... a chance... I never wanted this... even David and I tried to stop this plan many times... But no one can stop Keifer... after all, this is Keifer... we did our best... but we couldn't... Tomorrow... is my birthday 🥹 Please don't upset me on this happy day... The plan... it was actually stopped a long time ago... because... Keifer really started to feel something for you... and... we noticed it too... 🤭 I only ask one thing... come to my birthday and forgive me... I really love you Jayjay... never forget that...💖 "
Tears welled up in my eyes...
But something struck me...was Keifer really starting to feel something for me???
"Jayjay?"
Suddenly, Trippin's voice came.
I quickly wiped away my tears and turned to Trippin, smiling.
"Ahhh...you're awake," I said.
"Yes, and...were you crying?"
"Y-yes..." I said softly.
"Okay, but why? Is something wrong? Tell me, baby..."
"C-in...just sent me a message...it was so deep...it moved me so much...I couldn't control myself..."
Tripp suddenly hugged me...
"It's okay, baby...if...you're really upset," we pulled away, and he looked at me, "I think you should forgive him..."
He said this while looking into my eyes...
Seriously...should I do that?
Yes...he deserves a second chance 🥹
"Okay...you're right. I'll forgive him...it's his birthday tomorrow...I'm going to his birthday party 🥹" I said, tears streaming down my face...
"Tomorrow is his birthday...what are you planning to get him?"
A gift!
"Ahhh! I hadn't thought of that..."
"Don't worry! We'll find something...don't worry, my love."
"Actually, I have something in mind..."
"Hmm...what is it?"
"I'm going to...let him meet his cousins...He hasn't seen his cousins for a long time and he's very upset about it...It can't happen until tomorrow...but...I can do it later."
"What a wonderful gift that would be, Jayjay..."
I smiled and he smiled back.
"Let's go to the mall!"
The mall!!!
"Yes!!!"
Then we cleaned up and left the house...
I sat in the passenger seat and Tripp sat in the driver's seat.
He got in the car and drove towards the largest shopping mall in the Philippines.
He was driving with one hand... and holding my hand with the other...💖✨
We soon arrived at the mall.
Tripp parked the car and we got out.
He held my hand... and we walked towards the mall and went inside...
It was quite crowded...
"What are we going to do?" I asked.
"We're going to go into the shops," Tripp said, smiling.
We took the escalator and went up.
First, we went into a plush toy store...
Everything was so cute!!! 🥰🥰🥰
There were so many plush toys...
I could barely stop myself from screaming...
Tripp grinned deeply, as if he'd seen my excitement 😄
Then I saw something...
Thousands... of s-snorlax 😳😳😳
I couldn't hold back anymore and let out a huge scream.
Everyone in the store glared at me and rolled their eyes...
I didn't care, I immediately ran to the snorlax toys with Tripp...
"Tripp!!! Look at these!!! Is this heaven!!!"
"You can have anything you want... I'll even buy you this store if you want..."
My jaw dropped 😦
"A-are you serious? Don't be silly, I would never do such a thing... I'm just looking, my room is already full of plush toys, I don't need to buy anything."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Okay then ☺️"
"My love 🥰"
"Yes, my love 🥰"
"I'm hungry..."
"Okay, my love, let's go get something to eat."
"Okayyy"
Then I started walking and Trippte followed me.
Before leaving, I turned around and looked at the plush toys and snorlax toys one last time 🥺
I'll miss you plush toys...
Then I took Trippte's hand and led her out of the store...
And we started walking towards the dining hall...
---------------------------------------
Trippin' point of view
Jayjay grabbed my hand and made me run after him.
I have a really food-loving girlfriend...
My girlfriend...
He's really my girlfriend now...my girlfriend...
I told that crazy guy Keifer...that Jayjay will only be mine 😈
Speaking of Keifer...everything he did to me that night is still fresh in my mind...but I'll keep it a secret...I won't tell Jayjay...maybe I'll tell him later...I don't know, but I feel like I shouldn't do this...no matter how much I hate Keifer, I would never want him to go to jail...
We went to the food court...
Jayjay ordered chicken wings, and I ordered pasta and meatballs with a salad...
It arrived shortly after, and we ate them while chatting...
Then we got ice cream, but we had it packaged to take home...we were going to eat it there...
We were wandering around the mall...when something touched my hand, and when I looked, I saw it was Jayjay's little cute hand...
I didn't let on and I held his hand...
We chatted and laughed We were strolling around...until a little child ran into us...
His ice cream fell to the ground and the child started crying...
"Keiren?" Jayjay apparently recognized the child...
"Keiren?" I asked.
Just then, someone rushed over to us...out of breath...
Keifer...
---------------------------------------
Keifer's point of view
That night was still on my mind...
Three days had passed, but that night was still haunting me...
I hadn't slept at all since I got home that day... I only thought about him...
I don't know... but no matter how much I hated him, I didn't want anything bad to happen to him...
I wonder how Jayjay reacted when he saw him like that 🤔
He must have been really scared...
"Brother... shall we go get some ice cream?"
Keiren called out to me from behind...
"No, Keiren, I'm not myself... I need to rest..."
"But Ab-"
"I SAID NO, KEIREN!"
The house shook...
Keiren started trembling with fear...
I immediately got up and ran to him, but Keiren quickly recoiled...
"Keiren, I'm sorry... I just wasn't myself, like I said... it was a fit of anger... I'm really sorry, let's get ready and go... I need some fresh air too," I said.
Keiren nodded and left the room.
Get a grip, Keifer!
I quickly got ready and put on something normal.
When I came out of the room, Keiren was waiting for me.
"If you're ready, let's go," I said.
He nodded and started walking ahead.
I followed him.
Keigan didn't want to come; he said he needed to study because his exams were starting soon.
We got in the car and I drove to the largest shopping mall in the Philippines.
I looked at Keiren in the rearview mirror. She was looking out the window, but her face was downcast...
I wish I hadn't yelled at her like that... I wish...
We arrived, and before I could even park the car, Keiren quickly got out.
I quickly parked the car and got out too. At that moment, Keiren was slowly walking towards the mall. Just as I was about to go after her, a car caught my eye... it was a very familiar car...
I didn't care and ran to Keiren's side. By then, she had already entered the mall.
As I ran towards her, she quickened her pace. But I was faster, and I caught up with her immediately.
"What's wrong, Keiren? I already apologized, but let me apologize again. Keiren, I'm SO SORRY for yelling at you."
She turned around and walked away without listening to me.
She got on the escalator and went up to the food court.
I quickly got on the escalator after her.
We were like cats and dogs.
We kept chasing each other...
We arrived at the food court, and a little further on, I saw Keiren at Kit's and Mayo's shop.
I ran towards her, but she had already grabbed her ice cream and started to run away.
Kit saw me.
"Keifer!"
I immediately went to her.
"She didn't pay, did she?" I said, handing her 100 pesos.
"Keep the change... I have to go! Goodbye!"
Then we were back in the chase.
Keiren was quite far away from me. No matter how fast I ran, I couldn't catch up...
Sweat was dripping from my forehead...
Everyone was staring at us...but we didn't care...
Then something I never wanted to happen happened...Keiren...bumped into someone...
I rushed over to them, but what I saw shocked me...
The people Keiren bumped into...were Tripp and Jayjay...
They were quite surprised to see me too...
My eyes first fell on Tripp...he looked perfectly fine...and...then...
Their hands...
Their hands looked as if they were glued together...
But...why were they holding hands...?
"A-are you...together?" I asked.
They both looked at each other.
Keiren, wiping away her tears, looked at them in astonishment, just like me.
"Yes. We're together..." Tripp said, staring intently into my eyes.
So they're together now, huh!
"Tss, really? Congratulations," I said sarcastically.
I looked at Jayjay, but he couldn't look back at me.
"Bro! My ice cream fell! 🥺"
Keiren looked at me with teary eyes. Just as I was about to say something...
"Keiren ...we have ice cream. Take one," Jayjay said, handing her the ice cream package.
Keiren looked at me before taking it. He was seeking my approval.
"No need, we'll get more. Keep your ice cream," I said.
"We already had ice cream at home,We bought this for nothing anyway, so it's okay, just take it," Jayjay said, and Tripp looked at him in surprise...
I looked at Keiren and nodded.
He smiled at me, took the package from Jayjay's hand, and said, "Thank you."
Then he started walking again.
I looked at Tripp and Jayjay's hands one last time, and then looked at them both...
"Congratulations again," I said, smiling, and left them to go to Keiren.
After walking a little further, I turned around and looked at him one last time, and he... he was already looking at me with regret...
I could understand... Jayjay didn't seem to want this...
Don't worry, Jayjay... I'll take you from him...
You are mine and only mine...
