Chapter 1-3

"hello Sir, how much is this secondhand jeans? I got it from the area over there," I pointed to the clothing.

"It's only 250 pesos, ma'am," the old vendor replied.

"I'll take it. Please wrap it in a plastic bag, and here's my payment. Thank you," I said quickly to the vendor.

"Sure, just wait a moment, ma'am," the old man took the pants and put it in a plastic bag and handed it to me. I hurried home to wash the jeans that I bought."Because tomorrow, I will wear it. I was invited by my friend Maria to visit the grave of her uncle, Tito Mario. When I arrived at home, I put away my things and immediately went to my room to try on the jeans I bought earlier. I'm grateful that it fits perfectly. Suddenly, I felt like there was something in the pocket of the jeans I bought, so I took it out and found an old paper with the words "Before her I'm here" written on it.""At first, I wanted to just ignore it and throw it in the trash. I stood up and headed towards the trash can in my room, but I couldn't resist my curiosity about what was written on the paper. So, I sat back down and read the writing.

girls, go outside. Aunt Fiona and Uncle Nythan's wedding is about to start," the gay guy shouted at us, so we quickly went to the church."We saw Kuya Felix at the main entrance of the church, so his girlfriend, Ate Sophie, called him and he waved at us and gave us a signal to go there. (By the way, I'm one of the bridesmaids that Uncle Nathan chose.) I didn't know who I was going to pair with to walk down the aisle because I didn't attend the wedding rehearsal. "Are you Khristal?" asked the man with shades. I nodded,"He smiled at me and said that he was my partner for the wedding. I smiled back but didn't pay much attention to him because it was so hot in the church. "Hey Vaughn's child, here's a fan," said a woman who appeared to be around 28 years old. She took it from the person behind me, who is my partner for the wedding. "Let's take a selfie, child," Vaughn's mother said. Vaughn's child answered, "Just one, mom." Vaughn's mother quickly went and took a selfie. I couldn't help but look at them, the mother and son, in the background.""I couldn't help but look at them because of how close they were to each other. I didn't expect the mother to also look at me. Vaughn's mother smiled at me and I smiled back, then quickly turned away.

"Ja," Vaughn's mother called out to me.

"Why, Auntie?" I asked, feeling shy to look at them again and trying to force a smile.

"Are you the partner of my son Vaughn?" she asked me. I nodded back, still feeling embarrassed about what happened earlier.I will take a picture of you and Vaughn. Vaughn stood up and walk towards me, and I couldn't help but smile shyly. The wedding ended on a high note, and I returned to the room where we were staying to change and get ready to go home. After a few minutes, I finished getting dressed and went outside to wait for my mom to pick me up."Are you going to sleep here tonight?" Vaughnn asked me, taking me by surprise. I didn't expect him to ask about this. I thought he had gone home because I hadn't seen him since we returned to the wedding venue.

"Not here," I replied.

"Okay then," he said with a smile before returning to his phone. He went into the room we were staying in for a moment, probably to let the bride know. He came out shortly after and told me he will go home first."Okay, bye" I said he smiled back to me
