Tamed Heart [Simon Marcos Fan-fiction]

Part 10

Nakauwi na si Simon ng Ilocos Norte and I am at a cafe here sa BGC with Leigh, my bestfriend na matagal kong hindi nakita.

"So, you already met Sandro?" She asked while sipping her iced coffee.

I nod. "Let's not talk about it," sabi ko nalang.

"You mentioned na natulog ka sa condo ni Simon, so what's the score between you ba?" Tanong niyang muli saakin.

Inirapan ko siya. "Nothing, I'm just so drunk that night that he can't manage to take me home dahil baka mapagalitan ako." Sabi ko kaya naman nanlaki ang mata niya.

"You slept at his condo and you are drunk? Ano naman ang kagagahan na ginawa ng isang lasing na Celine?" Tanong niya kaya sinamaan ko siya ng tingin.

I sighed before answering her.

"I kissed him." I straightly answered.

"What?!" Napatili si Leigh.

Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin at pinatahimik.

"Shut up Leigh! Lasing ako noon, I don't even know what I am doing." Katwiran ko.

"Ano may nangyari ba?" Leigh natatawa siya habang naghihintay ng sagot ko.

"What? Of course nothing! Simon is a good guy, and of course I am a lawyer, it's illegal. He's not my boyfriend." Sagot ko.

"Haba ng sinabi tinanong ko lang naman kung meron o wala." She mumbled.

"Eh paano ba, para maniwala ka." I said.

"Bakit ba kasi ayaw mo kay Simon?" She change her question.

"Hindi naman ayaw," sagot ko. "Pero kasi I don't understand what my feeling is, tapos what if mahalin ko siya eh hindi naman pala niya ako gusto?" Tanong ko kay Leigh kaya napatanggo siya.

"Why don't you try?" Leigh said.

"Try what?" I asked.

"Try falling in-love with him."

Pagkasabi niya ay napa-iling ako.

"I can't loose him by loving him. What if hindi mag work? I might just ruin our friendship." I honestly said kaya naman umiling si Leigh.

"Yan ba ang Stella Celine Llarena na halimaw sa corte pero takot sa love?" She asked as he points at me.

"Paano kasi kung mahal pa pala talaga ako ni Sandro?" I asked as I sip on my cup of cappuccino.

Inirapan ako ni Leigh. "What if may iba na?"

I shrugged my shoulders.

"Oh kita mo? Girl! You'll stay here at the Philippines for good because of what? Because you believe na magbabalikan kayo ni Sandro, but what if you fail? Maganda na ang buhay mo sa NY, tigilan mo na ang kahibangan mo kay Sandro!" Sabi niya habang nakatingin ng diretso sa mata ko.

Napa-pout lang ako.

"And you're already 25 wala paring boyfriend, give yourself some love naman Ce."

Napabuntong hininga ako.

"I went back here para bawiin si Sandro, that's my goal. Kaya kahit anong mangyari hindi ako susuko." Seryosong sagot ko.

"You're just ruining yourself," she said as she shake her head.

"You're indeed a lawyer, palaban hangga't hindi nananalo." Leigh mumbled.
