All I Ever Need (BL NOVEL #1) [COMPLETED]

KABANATA 13

Jealous

Hindi nga siya nagbibiro sa mga sinabi niya. We always see each other. I don't know if its coincidentally or not but I know he's making sure of it. Palagi kaming nagkakasalubong pero hindi naman kami nakakapag-usap lalo na sa umaga at kapag nakakarating kami ni Chanwoo sa University ay siya rin namang baba niya ng sasakyan. Napapairap na lang ako kapag nahuhuli ko siyang nakasunod ng tingin sa akin at agad din namang iiwas na para bang hindi ko nahuli sa akto. Hindi ko hinahayaang makalapit siya sa akin at makausap ako.

And days has continuously passing by. I am close to finishing my painting and its because these passed days I got inspired and I still couldn't know what's the possible reason. Or I'm just afraid to say it aloud? I won't tell it neither.

Valentine's day came. The school filled with the presence of love and affection. Maraming nagsisipag-aminan at nagkakasagutan sa mga manliligaw.

Yahwi:

Will you answer me too, Yuki? I'm dying to get your yes...

My mind have read his sent message. I chuckled and shrugged as I typed my reply. Kasalukuyang nasa ground ako at nakatambay sa lilim ng puno at nakamasid sa nangyayari sa paligid habang hawak-hawak ang sketch pad ko. They were fun to watch though and the sceneries of them are worth to draw.

Ako:

Huh? Bakit, nanliligaw ka ba?

I sent him. Nasasanay na rin yata ako sa ganito. He's always texting me and I always find myself texting him back. He's always attempting to call but I always declined too. I just don't like it, hindi rin naman ako nakakapagsalita kapag ganoon.

Yahwi:

I'll call. Answer it.

Nataranta ako saglit nang mag-vibrate ang cellphone ko para sa isang tawag. Pinakatitigan ko iyon at napapatawa na lang kapag namamatay rin agad. Pero sinagot ko na rin kalaunan matapos makapag-attempt ng apat na tawag.

"I saw you," bungad niya pagkasagot ko.

"Saw me what?"

"You just stared at it while it's ringing awhile ago. You always let it slide and made fun of me. I wonder if you're doing that all the time-"

"So galit ka?" I cut him off.

Napasandal ako sa puno at tumitig sa patapos nang sketch ko. His face. Hindi siya sumagot agad at tanging paghinga lang niya ang naririnig ko.

"Kung galit ka, e'di tumigil ka. Happy Valentine's day na lang," nguso ko.

"Tss. Hindi na ako galit." Mariing sabat niya.

Napailing na lang ako at sinipat kung nasaan siya. Akala niya ah. From where I am, I can clearly see where he is even he's that far. He's on the library building, resting on the barricade while he's on the phone with me. He never leave his eyes on me and I'm just letting him. That man is really. Tss. Napangisi na lang ako.

"Hm,"

"I'm not, okay? It was just..."

"Just?"

"It seems like you're playing with my feelings, Yuki..."

Sa sinabi niya ay hindi ko na napigilang mapahagikgik.

"Oh, see?"

Mabilis kong itinakip ang palad sa mukha ko at lalong bumungisngis. Itinakip ko iyon para makaiwas sa atensyon ng iba at baka mapagkamalan pa akong baliw rito dahil tumatawa mag-isa.
