Forbidden Love

CHAPTER 2: Moving On

After the accident and the convo we had, my Mom decided to separate with Papa. Kami ni Vin, nag-stay kasama ni Mommy. He was asking sometimes but we managed to explain it to Vin little by little since bata pa sya but he understands it very well kaya si Mommy nasa Moved on stage na and ngayon ko lang sya ulit nakitang genuinely happy. At the same time naibalik nya yung hilig nya sa pagluluto kaya nagaral siya ulit and at the same time unti unti nyang na-restore yung dating restaurant ni Lola sa Batangas which is yung "La Belle Vie" (The Beautiful Life).

After 7 years, madami ng nagbago. I graduated college and by now I will be taking the bar exam. Yes finally natapos ko na din tong course na to and now aiming to Pass the bar exam. 🙏

Si Papa hindi naman nagkulang sa financial support and every Saturday lumalabas kaming 3 kasama si Vin. They are co-parenting and somehow magkakilala but they were never friends. At kung tatanungin nyo kung nagbago na si Papa, well hindi pa rin. Siguro tama nga sila Cheater will always be a cheater kaya etong si Vin palagi ko pinagsasabihan na wag n wag gagayahin si Papa. 😁 Lalo na teenager na sya ngayon.

Hindi na sya Mama's boy, nagiging mailap na rin magkwento, well siguro ganon talaga paglalaki. Pero palagi namin siyang gina-guide ni Mommy and marunong pa rin naman sya makinig knowing Mom napaka strict pa din😅.

At heto ako puspusan ang pagre-review ko kasi 3 days from now mageexam nako at super duper kaba ko na.

"Shaaa, Vin halika na kayo kakain na ng Dinner"

Since si Mommy nagluto kaagad kaming pumunta ni Vin sa dining area.

"Wow ang bango naman neto Mommy talagang ready na yung restaurant magbukas ah."

" Nako Ate for sure papatok to"

"Kayo talaga kelan pa kayo natutong mambola, hala sige kumain na tayo"

Grabe yung luto ni Mommy the best walang halong biro at tama si Vin soon magiging sikat ung resto ni Mommy.

"Oh Shaa, are you ready to take your exam? 3 days na lang nak magiging tunay ka ng abogado".

"Oo nga po at sana talaga pumasa ko. "

At masaya lang kami naghapunan.

Krrggg.. Krgggg (cellphone vibrating)

" Mom phone mo ata yung nagvibrate"

Chineck ni Mommy ung phone nya at bigla syang napa-smile.

"Oy atee oh si Mommy mukang may nanliligaw dito may ka chat oh"

"Mom?" tawag ko kanya.

"Mga judgmental kayo, yung friend ko kasi uuwi na ng Pinas"

"Kelan namin sya makikilala?" palagi namin inaasar si Mommy and if ever nga na maglove life sya ulit go lang Mommy, deserve nya.

D-Day (Exam day)

Papunta na kami nina Mommy sa U** to take my exam, yes hinatid ako ni Mommy at Vin. Very supportive.

Yung feeling ko... Sobrang nate-tense ako, kaba, takot, excitement lahat na lang ng emosyon nararamdaman ko. Ikaw ba naman tagal na nag-aral at ilang kape, puyat, iyak para dito. This is it, I just need to Pass this exam.

Bago ako pumasok sa loob, Mom gave me warm hug and told me to stay calm, relax and she knows I can do this. Super duper nakaka-recharge ng hug ni Mommy na para bang napasa ko na agad agad yung exam and I am feeling so blessed to have her in my life.

Imagine you will be taking these exams 4 Sundays of the month like whatttt, torture but very satisfying once nakapasa. And since this was my dream ever since push na to in the help of the Lord. 🙏

After the Exams

Finally natapos din and guess what? I still need to wait at least 4-5 mos to know if I passed or not. Nakakalokaaa.

For now isa lang naiisip kong gawin. At ayun ay mag PAHINGA 😂 feeling ko naubos yung buong pagkatao ko dito sa prep and mismong exam and isama mo pa yung waiting time ng result.

" Anaaakk ! Congrats in advance. We are so proud of you!"

Si Mommy para Naman talagang nakapasa na yung peg. hahaha pero very positive lang. Nag-hug lang ako kay Mommy.

"At dahil dyan, we will be having dinner at your fav resto "

"Mom di na kelangan, makita ko lang kayo ni Vin super ok na"

"Ano ka ba anak, you need this at saka deserve mo din to kaya halika na. Iniintay na tayo ni Vin sa sasakyan"

Pumunta na kami sa parking and I saw my brothahhh may dalang flowers. At inabot nya lang sakin ng basta kitang kita mo sakanya na naiilang at nahihiya.

" Wow Vin walang karea-reaksyon hahaha, pakiss nga si Ate" pangaasar ko sakanya.

"Yuck, iwww. Stop that" Lalo ko pa syang inaasar, well nakakamiss nung maliit pa sya ang lambing lambing pero andun n sya sa adolescence stage ayaw na mag pakiss magpalambing kaya lagi ko na lang sya inaasar. Pero kahit ganon yun alam ko super love nya kami ni Mommy.

"Tigilan nyo na yang 2, ready na kayo Kumain ng masarap?"

At ayun dinala kami ni Mommy sa fav Kong resto at kumain kami ng steak. Akala mo naman talaga nakapasa na, pero ganyan lang talaga yung family ko andyan palagi to support manalo man o matalo sa different battles namin in life.

"Shaaa, anak here's a little gift for you."

Hala grabe sobrang thankful ko Kay Mommy, niregaluhan nya ko ng trip to Boracay at take note mag-isaaa hindi sila sasama???

" Mommy sobra sobra naman to, at saka Mom bakit naman solo trip to e di sana tayong 3 yung nagtravel"

"Shaaa, Malaki ka na, you can go on your own and alam mo naman may school pa si Vin ako busy pa ko sa resto natin andami pa kelangan ayusin. Kaya ikaw mag-enjoy ka dun, magexplore at magrelax after ng madugong exam"

Si Mommy parang ang clingy clingy naman ng dating ko, but anyways I think this trip will be exciting since first time ko magtravel mag-isa kahit pa dito lang sa Pinas pero nakakakaba. I'm stepping out of my comfort zone.
