ONE YEAR AFTER !!

Loraine will not be able to decide if she will participate in a miss & mister Universty contest, and the winner of the contest will be contested against other Universities across Mindanao. she is being pushed by her classmates, she is now in her second year of law course! .. She thought about if she will join and she will win, that she will surely win, she is confident there, because even profissors admire what she has nice, she doesn't brag about that, but that's what she always hears from the crowd. She plans to finish her studies in another country. she will also not be able to fulfill her responsibility as a miss university if she wins...

A decision was formed in her mind, that is that she will not participate, she does not need to participate in any beauty contest to brag or let the whole world know her beauty ,! She got that habit from her goddess -like mother too! .. And her fighting habit is from her father that who was the most handsome of the whole world she smile of that thought she made, and the truth is their father is pure human who inlove in a werewolf. You are fighting but there are weaknesses and there are fears Loraine! she said to herself .. Ever since she found out that someone had abducted her before and that man's son was still flirting with her. Even though she knew how to fight and protect herself and there were people protecting her as will. like her older brother's friends ,. And now her older brother is done and is in the state now for his master's degree,. Yes, her boyfriend was there, and so were their other friends, but she seemed very confident if she just let it go, so she thought that after this year she would move to school again.

'My beautiful girlfriend is thinking so deeply! .. She was startled when someone suddenly spoke next to her, how could she not be aware of its approach, did her mind go that deep? ..

'Hi! .. yesterday or? she asked her boyfriend who was sitting next to her, They are in the little garden now, her morning class is over.

'Quite! .. I'm almost jealous of what you're thinking! .. he replied and kissed her cheek.

'I'm not thinking of another man to make you jealous.

'Then, may I know who or what it is? ..

'It's not very important!

'What is that? .. he carving it.

She let out a sigh ,! 'I'm not going to participate as a miss university anymore !.

'Yes! .. happy answer.

'Oh why do you seem so happy ?.

'If that's not important to you, to me you have no idea how happy I am that you chose not to join sweetheart! .. he said with a wide smile.

'I think I already know why! .. she said with a smile! ..

'Good and you know !, I won't explain anymore. And let's have lunch! .. he led her to stand up at the same time.

There is no room for the regret Jero felt when his girlfriend said that she would not be attending the miss university, he lost his fear that his rival would be added to it. He smiled to himself, he didn't care what anyone who saw him would say that he was like that. But he was suddenly attacked by sadness when it entered his mind that he was about to leave, after his graduation he would go to the state to get a degree there as well, .. he would leave his girlfriend! what if someone gets close to her? and the girl's attention is also diverted? .. how come? ... He can't stop himself from worrying about that thought again, ..

He looked at the door of his room when there was a knock! .. 'Son you are awake?! her mother, .. He stood up to open the door.

'I'm not sleepy yet mom! .. come on, do you have anything to say!?. he asked as he led his mother into his room. He sat it on the sofa that was there.

'Because I noticed that the light is still on here in your room so you might have a problem, you can lean on me maybe you forgot? ..

'Mommy really !, what's my problem? ..

'Son! I know you !, since little Angel came back and became your girl!, I know you're happy,! .. but I also know there are people who are bothering you, .. he even pointed at his chest ..

Ah! he really had nothing to hide from his parents, even his father noticed him as well. He knew even if he didn't talk to them directly they just felt it.

He took a deep breath before confessing to his mother 'I'm done this year mom! .. I'm leaving, I always don't want to disappoint dad and you, I'll stay away from you! .. I'm just sad! .. he said honestly, .

'Away from us and the woman you love ?. she said and smiled teasingly! .

'Always with the village! .. he admitted.

'Son! to like us many of the achievements! the state is not far so we can't go there to visit!... you think?

He nodded! that's not really what he's sad about, .. but the fear that is bothering his mind.

'Ah! by the way mommy! where is your plan for Christmas? .. he will change the subject.

'Nothing has been discussed yet! but your auntie's and uncle's suggested either in Maldives or in Boracay.

'It's interesting if in Maldives mom!.. he suggest exciting.

'All right, I'll tell them that .. your friends will definitely be happy when we stay there ..

'I'm really happy mommy, we're also shaking because we're always in the philippines.. it's different sometimes ,. he said and joked,.

'Don't forget Jenrick Robbie this is the land you were born in. his mother protested.

'Not really mom !. i'm just kidding! .. I love our town so much, I grew up here and loved you know! .. even if we went abroad or we can live there but here my heart always comes back! .. he smiles said to his mother.

'Oh hey !, go to sleep! .. what else is on your mind that makes you sad! .. We're not done yet! nothing was admitted to me .. she said with concern ..

'Don't worry mom, I can manage! .. goodnight mom! I love you! .. he said and kissed his mother who came out of his room ..

Loraine and Jero held hands and could not forgive the smiles drawing on their lips as they entered the university that day ,. Earlier in the car, they talked about what they will do on their vacation in the Maldives this coming Christmas!..

'I hope it's always loved like this? .. later the young man said ,.

'Which one ?, the girl pretended to ask, even though she knew what the young man meant.

"This one !, we're just happy !, no problem, we won't be far apart! ..

'I also want us to always be like this!, but we will always have trials to face, because destiny is testing us on how strong our love is.

'It's okay as long as you don't change your feelings for me Loraine! ..

The girl stopped walking and faced him! .. 'Goodness! you still don't trust me Jero? seriously she says,.

'No! it's not like that, if you say.....

'Nothing else means what you said, ..

The young man knew that he had noticed the anger hidden in the depths of the maiden's personality! because for the first time, he just called her by his nickname, he was very nervous, unlike when he was just sulking.

He was confused, he didn't know what to say to get rid of her anger now ,. especially when he even saw in the maiden's eyes the annoyance, anger, frustration, oh he could not name what was registered there. For a moment he seemed to watch the girl cry, ..

'No no no no ... please Loraine don't cry here! .. he even looked around they were next to the open field, many students were passing by and they called their attention because the girl's voice rosed...

'I thought you had full confidence in my love for you! because?! she even taught herself, me! ... completely Jero! .. he could see the resentment in her eyes ..

'No! .. no sweetheart! not so-

'That's enough! .. don't make me even more upset with you! .. she said then left him.

Jero couldn't react when Loraine suddenly shook his hand and turned her back on him, she quickly walked towards her room. He hasn't caught up with it yet. He grabbed the back of his head and looked up at the sky! .. 'What did I eat and that's what I said? .. he asked himself. He sat down on the side of the relic, he placed his two elbows on her knees and rested his bowed head.

"What now Jero? It looks like your girlfriend is disappointed in you! .. Someone speaking in front of him, he looked up to her...

The woman who always noticed him was in front of him now.

'Shut up! and leave me alone! .. he said with anger.a

'Fall right into my hands Jero !. she said with a flirtatious smile, then turned away from him.

Loraine feels anger and resentment towards her boyfriend, all this year her boyfriend has not fully trusted the love she feels for him! .. that's what it means. Because otherwise, it wouldn't have repeatedly reminded her not to change her love for him. She has not heard it just once nor has he told it several times that her feelings, the love for him will not change. It hurts her to think her boyfriend doesn't trust her.

When she came out of the ladies room, she didn't even bother to go to her class !, she left the school, took a taxi and went straight home! ... there were no heavy lessons that day so it was okay for her to miss than she was in class but her brain wasn't there.

Their guard was even surprised when the taxi she was riding in stopped in front of their guardhouse and she got off there.

'Miss Gel! .. why did you come home? .. aren't you in class today? .. he asked.

'I feel bad, uncle Oscar! so I missed first.

'Ah is that so, you want me to call your mommy to see you? ..

'Don't, thank you for remembering. She walked inside the gate.

'Eh! by the way, why are you taking a taxi? Don't your brother and sir Jero know that you feel bad? ..

She turned him,. 'No! and I will beg you! don't say I'm here when he calls! .. can you? .. sad and low voice she begged him.

The guard was confused. "Who should I not tell?

She immediately got the question .. 'For Jero! .. that's all and she finally entered the gate ..

She is home alone now, except for their three housemates who at that time she knew were resting. So she went straight to her room and dropped the body on the soft bed, she didn't change her house clothes, she just closed her eyes and tried to get rid of her resentment and went to sleep ...

Jero pocketed his cellphone when Loraine's guard told him not to go home. Frustrated he blew air, he called the girl over and over if he wasn't mistaken as the twentieth call he was!,. Her cellphone just rang but no one answered, and now he just called their guard and said she didn't go home. She was overwhelmed with nervousness! .. especially when the girl's classmate said that it wasn't there this morning.

He has been to the place that his girlfriend always hangs out but it is not there. he also informed Lance! .. His friend even threatened him that he would be responsible if something bad happened to his sister.

'Mom! Dad! .. is there any news about Loraine? .. he remembers asking his parents who were in the living room after he entered their house from school, in fact he didn't enter his subject in the afternoon he was looking for Loraine !.

'Calm down son! .. his daddy who also has a worried face and it helps his mommy not to lose the worry on her face.

'How dad! .. he answered sadly and sat down next to his mother who was now drinking water.

'Your daddy and I just arrived when your aunt Lyn called asking if you found little Angel at school. She could not be contacted you.

He shrugged! how not to be contacted ?, he pulled out his cellphone from his pocket. He was just blown away by the wind when he saw his cellphone dead. "Lowbatt. he threw it at the table in front of them.

'What happened son? .. his mother asked ..

He blew air again and confessed what had happened between him and the girl...

'Even though I'm a girlfriend, I'll get upset and I'll be upset if you just remind me of that over and over again. His mother replied.

'You must know the girls attitude son! .. his daddy said, .. A heart of woman is unlike a heart of man, though they thesame heart that can beat and feels love. Women are more likely to resent children. They are like a butterfly, which if you touch it carelessly you will break its wing.

He understood what his daddy meant. He feels so much sorry ... He bowed as if embarrassed, he still can't handle a strong relationship.

'Mom! Dad!, .. Brother!.. his youngest called on the stairs. The three of them looked there. 'Sister Gel is not missing! .. Thea text me! ..

He feels relieved and at the same time guilty! .... He has turned his back on his parents to go to his room, when his mommy's cellphone rang, he didn't need to listen to what his aunt Lyn had to say, it was enough for him found out that Loraine is okay,...
