START:
When the Pandemic of the COVID-19 or Coronavirus Disease broke-out, all countries around the globe started to declare Lock Down's of every urban and rural places. The Filipino People struggles on every strife they face, when the Pandemic started it feels like a nightmare everyday. People pray and hope that they aren't going to be infected by this disease.
One day, in a peaceful place on Diffun, in a Barangay called Andres Bonifacio a young boy name Jeff just woke up from his sleep at 5 am in the morning. Jeff folded the blanket and mosquito net he used, and fixed his pillows on his bed. After fixing his own bed Jeff's phone suddenly rang, he looked his phone and he saw his friend's chat oh his phone's notification. The chat on his notification says;
"Hey, goodmorning! Before I'm going to give you a video call, I'll just brush and fix my hair first, ok?" Jeff smiled and replied to her chat saying;
"Ok, I'll just buy some groceries in the meantime." May chat her back saying;
"Ok. Take care and be safe." Jeff pressed the message in 3 seconds and he reacted a heart emoji on her message.
He gargled his mouth and drink water on a mug of water. After gargling his mouth and drinking water from a mug he took some money on the top of the Fridge, he took his face mask and headed outside to buy some groceries.
For a few minutes he managed to buy the groceries he needs. After successfully buying the groceries he needs he realized that he's forgetting something that he didn't bought along with his groceries, for a few seconds he remembered that he forgot to buy Monay Breads.
He stopped by on the bakeshop where he usually buys all the Breads that he needs, he saw the Monay Bread and took it but someone grabbed the bread at the same time he grabbed it. When he turn around he saw Alex, Jeff was shook the moment when he saw him again. Alex stared at Jeff and said;
"Jeff, do you want to take this bread?" Jeff answered yes, Alex looked on his wallet but Jeff quickly paid the bread and rushed to get out of his sight. Alex looks at Jeff while he walks away in rush and said;
"Jeff, I'm so sorry... I should've done that to you..." He said that with a regret tone on his voice.
Jeff got home after he left Alex in the bakeshop, he put down the groceries on the side of the plate closet. He broke down in tears as he slowly sits on the floor of his house. When he's still crying his phone rings, as he checks his phone he saw that his sister is calling him, he answered the call and they saw each other through video call.
His sister, Mia greet Jeff with a high energy of good morning along with her daughter Emma, Jeff's wiping his tears and Mia already noticed that he has a problem, Mia asked Jeff what was his problem, at first Jeff denied her question by answering nothing, but Mia asked him again and for the second time he told May his problem.
After Mia heard Jeff's problem she was shook and said;
"Really!? You really saw Alex in the Bakeshop?" Instead Jeff says yes to her sister, he just nod his head as a sign of yes. Mia wraps her arms beneath her breasts and looks down as she sighs, Mia looked at Jeff and she said;
"Jeff. When you saw him again, do you still have feelings for him?" Jeff slowly looked at Mia in the screen and said;
"No. I just cried because, I remember the pain he caused to me when I'm still in to him." After hearing that Mia sighs again and said;
"Well, I suggest you that you should just keep on moving forward. Because time never stops, Jeff. Time will not aid you on your sadness. On and on you still need to move forward." Jeff smiled and thanked his sister. Mia ordered her young daughter to greet her uncle in the video call, Jeff smiled as he greet his niece on the video call.
Mia told Jeff that he has to do some things on the house, she also said that Jeff must forgive their mom for what she did to Jeff, but Jeff just took some silence and did not answer back to her sister. Mia said goodbye to him in the video call, then Mia ended the video call.
Suddenly Jeff's phone suddenly rings again, when he sees the screen he saw May trying to call him through video call. May looks at her screen and said;
"Hey, Jeff. I just finished fixing my hair... Huh? Do you have any problems?" Jeff told her what her problem is and she was surprised.
"WHAT?! Is it really him?" Jeff nod his head when May asked him her question. May sighs and said;
"Do you still like him? Honestly!" Jeff sighed and said no to her. May asked him again and this time the question is more personal.
"Jeff, do you still hate him for what he did to you?" Jeff looks at May in the screen of his phone and said;
"Yes! I hate him for what he did! What he did is against my will...!" May took a some silence in three seconds and said;
"Well, I understand you... After all that thing he did to you is quite frustrating and really makes you hate him. But at least he didn't took away your... Your virginity." When Jeff hears it he bows down his head because of sadness.
May asked Jeff if he really moved on with Alex, Jeff answered yes, after May heard his answer May suddenly asked him if she could copy some answers on Jeff's answer notes of his Modular Activity on their class subjects, Jeff chuckles and started to laugh with joy.
As Jeff smiles he said; "May, thank you so much. I know your trying to make me laugh, but I'm sorry. I don't give answers that easily ya know?." May chuckles and said;
"Oh, come on! We're in the middle of a Pandemic. Can you please give me some answers in our 3 subjects? Please! Kidding! HAHAHAHA!!!" Jeff laughs along with May.
Jeff and May said their goodbyes and hanged up their calls. After a few minutes Jeff started to go back to his work. Jeff works at a Milk Tea Store near the highway where he earns enough money for himself. Meanwhile, while Jeff is making a Milk Tea a mysterious boy entered their store.
After Jeff finished making the Milk Tea, he gave it to the female customer which was in front of him. The mysterious boy approached the desk where Jeff is standing, he told Jeff that he would order a Okinawa Milk Tea. After Jeff finished his order the boy asked him if they knew each other but Jeff answered no instead.
The mysterious boy chuckles and said;
"You're... Jeff, right? The Top 1 of your class." When Jeff heard him he nod his head and asked who is the boy. The boy pulled down his facemask and when Jeff saw his face he was shook.
"You!? You're the one who always wins in Quiz Bee of the Mathematics Contest. You're Chito, right?" Chito smiled when Jeff said that to him and told him he is right.
Jeff shift temporarily from his post, he seated one meter apart from Chito and their conversation began, their conversation were all about different stuffs. Few hours have passed and it was already night time for Jeff, when he arrives into his home he was shook when he saw who was in front of the gate.
Jeff approached the boy and said;
"Alex?!" Jeff approached him from his side and asked him why is he in there, but before Alex begins to say something he passed out due to being too drunk.
Jeff catches him after he passed out and said;
"Oh, come on! Really!? Are you drunk!?" Jeff carried him inside his house going to Jeff's room, when they finally arrived at Jeff's bed Jeff looses his balance. Jeff was the one who lied down on the bed while Alex is crushing him over his body.
Jeff sit on his bed and Alex is lying on the bed, when Jeff is about to stand Alex suddenly grab him and pulled right in front of him. Alex slowly opens his eyes as his vision clears he said;
"I'm sorry... Jeff." Jeff was surprised when he heard what Alex told him and he really can't believe what he heard from Alex.
