What I heard wounded me. It was like an indirect rejection from Ninang although, I know, she doesn't mean that. I cannot blame her, though. She doesn't have any idea, they don't have any idea about what was going on with me and Dashiel. I chose to date her son and keep our relationship secret to everyone. It was my fault that I was so coward to tell our family about our love for each other. But would it be different if we tell them? Would Ninang like me for her son when she clearly has someone else she wanted for him from the very start? And damn, it hurts me more to know that the girl she likes for Dashiel is way different from me. Bianca, her best friend's, Clyde, daughter is an epitome of a perfect daughter. She's not just pretty, kind, and smart; she is also a very talented woman
