Love Under the Crescent Moon

Chapter 2

FEB'S POV:

Nakita ko si Thea kasama ang magandang babae na nag uusap. Sanaol may ganyang kalakas na confidence para lumapit.

Tinuro ako ni Thea kasabay paglingon ng babae sakin na ikina bilis ng tibok ng puso ko. Wow grabe ang epekto ng babaeng to.

Nakita ko na sinenyasan ako ni Thea na lumapit. Nahihiya man ay kaagad akong lumapit sa kanila.

Nangmakalapit.

"Oh sige na, payag na syang makipagkilala sayo. Thank me later.". Sabi ni Thea.

Ako Naman parang basang sisiw na napakalmot sa ulo habang nakaharap sa babae. Halos walang hangin na lumabas sa bibig ko kaya humugot ng malalim na hininga at nag salita.

"H-h-hii my n-name is 17 and I am F-Febrylle Grantuza years old" Huli na ang lahat nang sinabi ko yun. Parang biglang tumahimik ang mundo st sigurado akong mas pula pa ako sa kamatis sa kahihiyan.

"BUAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA gago anong my name is 17 HAHAHAHAH." halos gumulong na sa lupa si Thea sa kakatawa pero hindi ko na sya pinansin at tiningnan ko ang kaharap ko na unti-unting natatawa na din.

"U-uhhmm. I-i mean I'm Febrylle Grantuza and I'm 17 years old." Pumikit nalang sa kahihiyan.

May narinig akong munting tawa galing sa kanya na ikinabilis nanaman ng puso ko. Goshh ang kyut ng tinig nya parang anghel huhuhu.

"Hi I'm Crescent Crysha Perez. 15 years old." Malumanay na sabi nya kasabay ng paglahad ng kamay nya. Tinanggap ko ito and oh my parang nanlamig ang katawan ko nang nagkadikit ang mga palad namin.

Her hand. Oh myyy it's not the softest, it's actually kind of rough so it actually means, she does household chores and other things which I prefer the most than some girls who has a soft hand cause all they do is nothing.

"N-nice to meet you Crescent Crysha Perez." Sabi ko na panay ngiti.

"Nice to meet you too Febrylle Grantuza." Ngumiti din sya and that's it. Parang mawawalan na ako ng ulirat sa ganda ng ngiti nya huhuhu oh myyy.

"Can I offer you something? A drink maybe?" Alok ko sa kanya.

"Ohh I'm sorry pero uuwi na kami ng kapatid ko kasi gabi na, chamba nga na pinayagan kami ni papa na gumala ngayon." Sabi nya habang nakangiti pa din.

"Ahh okay uhmm I hope we'll see each other soon then."

"Soon maybe." Maikling sagot nya.

"So mauna kami ahh, nandun na si papa naghihintay samin." Magalang na sabi nya.

"Okay ingat kayo ng kapatid mo." Bilin ko.

"Thank you!" Sabi nya. Sabay alis.

"Welcome- uhhh waitt by the way, what's your fb account so we could have a chat sometimes." Sabi ko.

"Search mo lang ang name ko.... Byee!" Sabi nya.

"Byeee!"

At tuluyan nga syang umalis. Nakahinga ako ng maluwag. Pero ang lakas parin ng pintig ng puso ko. Grabeeee.

"So okay na?" Sabi ni Thea na nasa likuran ko lang pala.

"Hinarap ko sya na may ngiti. "Thank you!" Madamdaming sabi ko.

Inirapan nya ako sabay sabi. "Anong thank you? I don't accept thank you's Mr. Grantuza. You owe me a drink hmmpp." Sabay talikod papunta sa isang stall kung saan may nagtitinda ng milktea. Pinagbigyan ko sya kasi kundi dahil sa kanya, hindi ko sana makikilala si Crescent Crysha Perez.

Around 9 pm nang nakarating kami sa bahay ni Thea. Hindi na ako pumasok at kaagad na akong umalis kasi malapit ng mag alas dyes. Yun kasi ang time limit ko kasi hindi makakatulog ang aking nanay pag may isa sa amin ang hindi makakuwi within that time.

Nang makarating sa bahay ay kaagad kong ipinark si Crimson at pumasok. Pumunta muna ako sa kwarto ng aking magulang para mag mano, pagkapos non ay pumunta naman ako sa kwarto ng mga kapatid ko para ibigay ang dala kong pasalubong bago ako pumasok sa aking silid.

Pagkatapos mag bihis ay nag open ako ng laptop at si-nearch ang pangalang Crescent Crysha Perez sa FB kaagad kong in-add. Binasa ko ang bio nya.

'moonchild.' "hmmm so she loves the moon? That's cute." I stalk some of her pictures and what I saw took my breath away. What a creation. God must have really took his time in designing her physique huhu.

Hindi nag tagal ay may nag notify at tiningnan ko. She accepted my friend request so I immediately chatted her.

'Hi' then I hit send. I waited, it didn't took long for her to reply.

"Hellooo!" Reply nya.

"So how's your night?"

"Masaya naman kasi pinayagan kami ni papa na gumala kahit sandali lang." Sabi nya.

"Ahh okay. Hindi ba kayo palaging pinapagala?"

"Hindiiii. Strictt kasi syaa pero don't takee it in a bad wayy. My papa is the bestt." Sabi nya.

" HAHAH okay² chill lang." Sabi ko habang walang tigil ang aking pag ngiti.

It didn't took long for us to be friends. But I didn't confess my feelings yet because I don't have the courage to do it and I'm also afraid to get rejected kaya pinili ko nalang na itago.

Christmas came, me and my family happily celebrated Christmas. I greeted my friends and of course I didn't forget Crescent. I greeted her and she greeted back but we didn't really had much convo because we we're busy.

Then it's just a few hours until new year and I decided to risk everything. I wanna confess to her at the same to court her. I know it's risky but i think that's love. Yes I don't like her any longer but I love her. I know it's a bit early since we're still young but I didn't care anymore. Wala naman atang required age para mag mahal.

We were chatting while waiting for the clock to strike 12. It was fun as always, I never get bored of chatting her.

Then the clock strikes 12 we greeted each other, bukas ko na i greet si Thea kasi tulog na. So ayun na nga we greeted each other happy new year.

"Crescent?" Then I hit send.

"Yeah?" She replied.

"Makikita mo ang buwan kahit nasa loob ka ng bahay nyo?" Sabi ko.

"Oo, bakit?"

"Tingnan mo nga."

"Yeahhh I'm looking at it."

"So beautiful. Right?" I said.

"You're right, so mesmerizing." She replied.

"Yeah. Just like you. So breathtakingly beautiful." I said.

"Awe.... Thank you so much Feb. I appreciate it." Sabi nya

Tumingala ako sa buwan. Then typed;

"We're looking at the same thing at the same time hihi."

"Awee totoo ngaa ang sweet." Sabi nya

" I started my new year with you and I hope you'll still be the one whom I'll start with, next year" dagdag ko pa

"Awe..... Ang romantic naman nyan ano bang meron?" Reply nya.

"I wanna confess to you hihi".

"What confession?" Sabi nya.

"I like you Crescent! I like you so much." At yun na nga I did it. Even though I confessed online. It was still nerve-racking.

I waited for her to reply but she didn't. She logged out and pain striked piercing my heart.

'eto na ba ang huli?' sabi ko sa sarili ko habang bumalik sa loob ng bahay at natulog na may sama sa kalooban.
