The Place Where It All Starts (Sitio Series #1)

Chapter 14

Chapter 14 

Love 

How old are you when you fell in love? Are you too young or too old? Or are you... just at the right age? Pero... Bakit? May tamang edad ba ang pagmamahal? You'll not be sure when it happened or when it even started... you just realize that one day, you are falling really really hard.

ㅤ

They often said, "Masyado ka pang bata para d'yan!" o kaya naman, "Ang tanda-tanda mo na blah blah." But.. falling in love is not an event you can control. It doesn't come with any warning signs. Ang pag mamahal ay hindi dapat sa gan'tong edad lang nararapat o kung ano man.

ㅤ

Falling in love... either easy or not. Either too young or too old. It's still a crazy thing.. It will come out of nowhere— ready to build and broke you.

ㅤ

"Mommy, pakidagdagan po ang mga bodyguards ko dito..." I said to my Mom over the phone.

ㅤ

I haven't fall in love yet. Masyado pa akong bata.

ㅤ

Well, that's what I thought too.

ㅤ

"Why? Don't you feel safe there anymore? May nangyari ba?"

ㅤ

"Wala naman po. I just... want too."

ㅤ

Seeing Levi with Melanie and knowing that he lied to me and to his Mom... It just hurts.. so much. I'm not just yet sure if I'm hurting because I love him... or I'm just hurting because I'm used to his presence. Si Levi ang unang naging kaibigan ko simula nang lumipat kami dito sa Metropolis. We've been through a lot already.

ㅤ

And I know, deep inside me... there's a growing feeling I'm taking care of. Soon, it will become big until I can't control it anymore.

ㅤ

Judging how I reacted to what happened... I'm falling and this is not nice. Masyado pa akong bata.

ㅤ

Levi keep calling and texting me so I blocked his number. He's also in front of our gate but I told our maids to not mind or answer him. I just focused on doing our activities and projects. Inabala ko ang sarili ko sa pag sasagot.

ㅤ

I depend too much on him. Sa panahong nasa eskwela ako, siya kasama ko. Tuwing weekends, siya padin. Sa bahay, ka-text ko siya. I just realized that my life here in Metropolis is just revolving around him that I didn't let myself explore and meet new friends. Sila Kairi at Elisha? Naging kaibigan ko sila dahil kay Levi. Ang moonchild? They're friends with him too. Levi dito, Levi doon. Puro Levi!

ㅤ

Walang pagkakataon na lumapit sa akin si Levi sa school. I'm with my bodyguards every damn minute, hatid sundo pa. Nasa labas sila ng classroom during class. I've been very busy with the amount of school works we have. Si Levi ay alam kong busy din sa math competition nila na darating.

ㅤ

It's been days... No! Weeks... since we last talk. Umiiwas ako tuwing susubukan niyang kausapin ako. Mayroon din nag tetext sa akin na bagong number na tingin ko'y sa kanya.

ㅤ

"LQ kayo?"

ㅤ

Inirapan ko si Kairi sa naging tanong niya. Nandito kami ngayon sa canteen. Sa malapit na table ay ang mga bodyguards ko.
