PLEASE FORGIVE ME

Chapter 9

“Napipikon ka na, ha? Okay, to answer your question. Sa campus kami nagkakilala. He first saw me when I joined the beauty pageant last year. Alam mo naman na may mga pa-contest lagi sa mga freshman students. Hiningi niya yung number ko kay Lorie. Ayon, doon na nagsimula. Nagmemesage siya palagi sa’kin thru messenger or viber. We became close friends.” Jera said smilingly.

“And alam nina Tito and Tita yan?” Christian asked as if he cannot believe what she is saying. Alam kasi nito na may pag ka-strict ang kanyang ama.

“Yes, alam nila since kilala pala nila ang parents ni Ethan. Actually, a month after we’ve met he finally visited me sa bahay. He formally asked Mom and Dad’s permission if he can court me.”

“And your parents agreed?” tanong ni Christian habang titig na titig sa kanyang mukha. Hindi alam ni Jera kung bakit parang may himig ng pagkainis ang tinig nito.
