KIMUEL DUANE's GIRL

Chapter 38

I was not sure about myself as I step in the grounds of the campus. I'm not yet ready to face him after the confession.

What your heart says? Is what you follow daw? But I don't know what my heart says dahil nauunahan ng pag iisip ko na kung ano siya. Or my mind protect my heart from breaking, is that it?

"Good Morning" halos mapatalon ako ng makita kung sino ang tumabi at bumati saakin. He look neat and clean. Take note hindi ko sinabi na dugyot siya noon. I'm not just used to see him this clean at hindi mukhang womanizer.

"Sagutin mo nalang ako agad nang pagsawaan ako ng mga mata mong titigan mula umaga hanggang hapon" napangiwi ako sa sinabi niya.

Pumasok na naman ang mga salitang narinig ko lng naman sa teleserye. But my hearts says nothing. It's calm and no hyperventilating keme. But why does I like his presence be around me?

I faced him and give him a weak smile. His tantalizing eyes met mine that makes me paused and just wanted to look at it just like, it was the most beautiful view I have ever saw.

My mouth formed an "o" same with the students walking with us, they paused and their mouths gaped.

I feel a warm thingy and sensational heat in my forehead that causes my heart to leap a beat and my eyes just widen.

"Just don't let others do what I have done, I might loose my sanity if that happens, because starting this Day. I Kimuel Duane Melendrez standing before you, with or without your permission. I know it's against your will but no one can stop me" my forehead grease for a while and my brow raised.

"I will court you, Margaret Ynezz Reasol.
Let me bring you to the limit of our imagination and let your ear hear my heart that only beats for you. Let me be your Allie of love"

I'm speechless.

" punyeta!" I look to the one who shouted it's Judy laughing.

"Ang korni mo, but you need to get my friend's heart if you don't hahalik ka sa kamao ko" then she laughs. Halos malaglag ang panga ko sa narinig, did just my best friend agreed Kimuel to court me? Kahapon halos ilibing na niya si Kimuel sa mga salita pa lng. Ngayon?!

"Anak ng..."

"Hep hep, mahal kung kaibigan. Oo against ako pero mukhang nahugasan na yang mata at bibig ng tarantadong to. Mukhang safe at magiging masaya ka naman sa piling niya. I think" then she giggled, napakunot ang noo ko at napailing na lamang.

"You think? You're not yet sure, Judy. Kung ikaw gusto mo, ako hindi" tumingin ako sa unggoy na nasa tabi ko na nakahalukipkip na nakatingin sa amin. "Sorry, but I will not ride on your games. Hindi mo ko mabibilog sa mga matatamis mong salita. Maghanap ka nalang!" Inis kung sabi at umalis na, dali dali akong tumungo sa likod ng library at doon napabuntong hininga.

Di ko alam kung ano nga ba ang mararamdaman ko dahil, hindi ako sigurado. Takot ako, oo.

Base on what I see and what I heard, I think it's enough proof that he can't be serious about having relationship. Lalo na sa tulad ko na hanggang kuko lng ang panlaban ko sa mukha ng mga babae niya. Ain't pretty  but I'm proud that despite of insecurities. It's still me.

"Lalim ata ng iniisip ah" napalingon ako sa baritonong nagsalita sa tabi ko, automatic akong napangiti sa kanya at umusog baka sakali gusto niyang umupo.

"Tama lng, Kumusta Harvey?" Tanong ko habang ang mata ay nakatingin sa damuhan na sumayaw ang mga damo sa saliw ng hangin.

He sighed, I know it... Still Harvey.

"Can't moved on, I love her but seems like." He paused, in my peripheral view he glance at me and sigh again.
"Wala ng chansa pa" he scratch his eye brows and chuckle but it wasn't sound like he's playful or happy.
