"SAAN mo ako dadalhin?" Natatarantang tanong ko kay Miguel na ngayon ay hinihila ako palayo kay Cibrina. After he asked about what he heard to us, he suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me away from Candice.



"Let's talk outside." Seryosong sagot niya at dumeretso kami palabas ng company.



Dinala niya ako sa parking lot at binuksan ang passenger seat atsaka ako pinaupo at sinuot ang seatbelt saakin. Lakad takbong umikot si Miguel para makasakay ito sa driver's seat.



"Where are we going?" Tanong kong muli pero pinaandar niyang bigla ang sasakyan niya at nilisan namin ang kumpanya.



"To talk." Maikling sagot niya habang nasa daan parin ang tingin niya.



"Then talk. Bakit kailangan nating sumakay ng sasakyan?" Nagtatakang tanong ko sa kanya.



"Because I want to." Bakit naiinis ako sa maiikling sagot niya?




"Then I don't want to. I still need to go to work." At pinagkrus ang mga kamay ko. I'm 5 minutes late already.



"We need to talk." Ang tipid niyang sumagot, my gad! Paano ako gaganahang kausapin to kung ang ikli ng mga sagot niya?



"We can talk later. After work." Walang ganang sagot ko at tumingin sa bintana.



"No, we will talk now." Why is he so persistent to talk now?



"Do you want me to get fired? My department head will get mad at me now." I slightly raised my voice since I'm starting to get irritated at him.




"Why would she get mad at you?" Tanong nito saakin habang nakatingin lang ito sa harap.




"Because I say so." Sagot niya. I rolled my eyes at sumandal sa upuan. This is hopeless. Hindi na hahaba pa ang mga sagot niya. Hanggang isang sentence lang ang kaya niyang ilabas sa bibig niya.




"She will never get mad at you." Biglang dagdag nito.



"No, she'll definitely gonna get mad me." I hopelessly said and sighed deeply.




"You're wrong about that."




"I already caused to many troubles, asked for an early out and even asked one week day off. She will definitely gonna get mad at me this time."




"You should start trusting my words. She will just look at you like nothing happened." Seryosong sabi niya. Kumunot ang noo ko kaya tinaas ko ang kaliwang kamay ko at piningot ang kanang tenga niya.



"Hey, ouch! I'm driving! Stop that!" Reklamo niya pero hindi parin ako tumigil sa pagpingot sa tenga niya. Bigla niyang pinarada ang kotse sa tabi kaya bumitaw na ako sa pagpingot sa kanya.




"Now talk." At seryosong tumingin sa kanya.




Bumunting hininga muna siya bago niya binukas ang bibig niya. "Why did you cut your wrist?"




"Because I want to." Seryosong sagot ko kanya but he suddenly hissed.




Bigla niyang tinanggal ang pagkakalagay ng seatbelt niya at lumapit saakin. His face is getting closer kaya inurong ko ang katawan ko at mukha ko sa kanya but he keeps on getting closer.




I can even feel his breath now kaya pumikit ako. Then I heard the "click" sound at naramdaman kong lumayo na siya saakin kaya minulat ko na ang mga mata ko.



Tumingin ako sa kanya and I can see him holding his laugh.



"So why did you close your eyes?" He said and released a small laugh. Now that I think about it, this is the first time I saw him laughing.



Kahit na kasabay namin siyang kumakain ng lunch at dinner, poker face lang siya. Hindi ito masyado nagpapakita ng expression.



"You are changing the topic! Why do I need to be drag here?" I asked while looking at the window trying to hide my red face.



"Nothing. I just want to spend my time with you." He casually said and wink at me.




Waiiiitttt whaaaaaat?! Did he just wink at me?



Nanlaki ang mga mata ko at napatakip ng bibig. This is so freaking new! Noong una ay ngumiti siya, ngayon may paganito na siya.




"What's with your expression?" At kumunot ang noo niya.



"Because I saw something new. You smiled at me, winked at me and you even hold your laughed earlier . Paano ako hindi mabibigla eh hindi naman kita madalas makitang ganyan." Paliwanag ko sa kanya.




Pero imbes na sumagot siya kinuha niya ang kamay ko atsaka hinila ako palapit sa kanya.
Nilapit niya ang ulo niya sa tenga ko.




"I'm just showing this side of me because I'm with you." He whispered which made my heart start to beats fast.




Pushed him away from me because he was too close. It feels like my heart was about to burst! I tried to calm myself or I'll do something embarrassing again.




I cleared my throat and looked at him. "What do you want to talk about. If you are wondering about the cut at my wrist, don't worry about it. Please don't mind me and mind your own business." Seryosong wika ko sa kanya.




"Wala kang mapapala saakin. It's better if you stop having those feelings for me habang maaga pa. You'll end up regretting it at the end." Dagdag ko at tumingin sa bintana. As soon as possible, kailangan niya nang maalis ang anumang nararamdaman ni Miguel para saakin.



I'm not even using my real name, my real identity so I really can't accept this. He deserves someone better.




"Who says I'll regret it?" He asked and intensely stared at me.




"You know what, You're getting bolder today. What's with you today?" I can't read him anymore and I'm getting confused about him. His expression suddenly changed from serious to confused





I don't know if I should be happy about this or I should worry about it.



"Do I sound weird?" Nagtatakang tanong niya saakin.




"Yes?" Hindi siguradong sagot ko. His lips parted at sumandal sa sandalan ng upuan niya.



"I don't know why you acted like this. You act like you are worried about me. You are basically wasting your time-" Pero pinutol niya na ang sasabihin ko dahil biglang nagbago ang itsura niya.




"I'm sorry if I sounded weird...."





"But I can't just ignore what you've done to your wrist." Andn he gently grabbed my hand and rolled up my wrist exposing my scars.



And he kissed my wrist.
