What made Assunta fall for Jules?

Here is the third and final part of the Assunta/Jules interview

Boy Abunda (BA): When she said, "Give me time to think," what did you do?

Jules Ledesma (JL): I became more present, that’s one, and number two, I prayed for Rommel.

Why did you pray for Rommel?

JL: I didn’t know what to do anymore.

How did the prayer go?

JL: I said that if it’s them, let her have him.

Assunta, when did you know na mahal mo si Jules?

Assunta de Rossi (AR): After nine days.

What made you decide na ito na nga?

AR: Maybe, I was telling myself na magpakatotoo ka na. I cried, kasi sabi ko, "Bakit napapamahal ako sa kanya eh super hate ko yan dati?"

Kaya ba tinatanong mo sa sarili mo, "Lord, bakit, bakit?"

AR: Oo, dati super hate ko yan.

Ano ang impression mo ng makita mo si Jules?

JL: Sino ba yan?

AR: Sino ba yan?

Yong ginagawa nilang issue, yung height difference for example, ano ang opinion mo dyan?

AR: Ba’t kami lang ba ang couple na ganun? It doesn’t really matter.

Kumusta naman and pagkikita nyo ng mga Ledesma?

AR: Ang saya nila.

Ano ang naramdaman mo nung ma-meet mo yong family ni Jules?

AR: Before we went to the place, siempre, nervous ako.

JL: I was teasing her. I was telling her, "Hala! You’re gonna meet my mom!"

What about your parents? Has your mom softened up? Has she changed her opinion about Jules?

JL: We’re working on it.

What’s the best thing about Jules?

AR: A lot of people asked before na, "Bakit ka na-inlove sa kanya? I only say, ‘Because he was always there.’"

Are you managing her now?

JL: Nooo, I manage businesses.

Who’s managing her now?

JL: Manny Valera.

Do you have a say in her career?

JL: Only if she asks for it. It’s her call. And I told her whatever she accepts, I’ll support her… beside her… behind her.

Jules, dahil sa kagalawgawan mo, sinasabi nila, "That you may be gay!"

JL: Am I gay? She can answer that. I don’t have to.

Are you living in?

JL: (to Assunta) Answer…

AR: (Shakes head to deny)

Are you legally married now?

JL: Not yet. Very soon.

Do you shower each other with gifts?

JL: Yes, songs from the CD. That’s how we shower each other with presents.

Are you ready, Assunta for the kind of life Jules has? I mean politics?

AR: Well, umpisa pa lang, I was very honest na ayoko.

What have you become because of Sam?

JL: Notorious… the beast!!

So alam mong mag-aasawa ka ng bata?

AR: I think so.

JL: My mom married at 17.

Hihinto ka ba sa pag-aartista?

AR: No, no.

JL: Only if she wants to.

(Postcript: Everything’s been said and done, so let us all hope Assunta lives happily in Jules’ arms. Maybe it’s time we give them some space. To the couple in love, Assunta and Jules, follow your heart wherever it leads you! Thank you for giving us the time to see through your heart. And as Khalil Gibran said, "You talk when you can no longer contain the silence of your heart."

Direct Line will always be open to both Assunta and Jules for another tete-a-tete. Thank you.)
