#WUM22
I know he likes me but I never thought confessing his feelings would make it more visible especially when he was serious about having me along with his dreams.
I couldn't believe I could be someone's dream. Myself was far from all the good things, how come?
I mean, I am a difficult person to handle. I am confusing as what he said then. I am just a disappointment and an ungrateful daughter to my foster family. I'm harsh and rude. Flirt and stealer for my friends. I am lonely and boring, too. Very selfish.
What's there to like?
My heart twisted.
I didn't know how nervous I was after hearing that.
Since I was a good actress, I pretended neutral the whole time we were having dinner at their home table. Ajax was so open to me but I can't imagine how everything would work.
It was overwhelming and pressuring at the same time. I didn't know what to say that I stayed silent.
We were quiet at the table but he was also trying his best to make a topic to make me feel comfortable alone with him after confessing-it wasn't actually awkward. I was just preoccupied by the warm thoughts and cloudy heart.
Nakakaliyo iyon, gusto kong mapag-isa at mabigyan ng atensyon ang lahat ng tumatakbo sa isip ko. Naiiyak ako pero ayaw kong magpakitang dala ako sa mga salita niya.
"I'll go home," sambit ko pagtapos kumain at makitang tapos na rin siya. Tumayo ako at kinuha ang pinagkainan ko para iligpit pero inagaw ni Ajax iyon.
"Bakit mo ako pinagliligpitan?"
Kumunot ang noo ko at kabado sa pagtatama ng mga mata namin. "Tapos na akong kumain."
"Gusto mo bang hindi na ako makapag-asawa?" iritado niyang sabi.
Nalito ako. Anong hindi makapag-asawa? Naiisip na ba niya agad iyon?
"Masamang pinagliligpitan 'yong natitira sa lamesa, hindi na makakapag-asawa!" nakasimangot niyang sermon saka kinuha ang pinggan niya para pagsabayin iyon at nilagay sa sink.
I sighed. "That's not true."
Ngayon ko lang narinig iyon, saan naman niya nakuha ang imbentong iyon? My sisters weren't even waiting for me to be done with my food.
"That's true!"
"No," I forced. Hindi ako maniniwala roon.
He was frowning when he turned to face me with a glare, my eyes couldn't stay at him. Why does he look even more finer to my eyes after confessing? This isn't a good sight.
"Why? Are you gonna be my wife for sure?"
I face-palmed. "In your dreams."
"You're already in it-"
I immediately turned my back to walk out of the area with my violent heart beating, he pulled my elbow as he laughed lowly.
"Kinikilig ka."
I glared. "Of course not. It's corny."
Gumuhit ang busangot sa mukha niya, lumabi siya at tila nag-isip kaya naman binawi ko iyong braso ko para makatakas pero mahigpit ang hawak niya at bahagya akong hinila.
"Can I kiss you?" he asked, tilting his head.
My eyes widened in shock, I couldn't control the heat of my cheeks. His eyes blinked while watching me, umawang ang labi niya.
