I can still clearly remember that time in high school when you first got into a serious relationship. Ang daya mo ah! You are my first in everything but I'm not even your first in anything, hmp. Hanggang ngayon hindi ko pa rin makalimutan 'yon lalo na 'yong naramdaman ko no'ng mga oras na 'yon. I don't know if I should be happy or what that time after finding out that you're finally in a serious relationship with someone your age. She's so pretty, smart, mature, and the two of you match well. I can't remember her name though. Sobrang nalungkot ako that time dahil I have such a big crush on you but I know that I should be happy kasi you're not fooling around breaking girls' heart anymore. That's a good news, right? But I don't know. I kind of feel guilty for feeling sad. There's a part of me wanting to be that girl but I know it's impossible because you will never see me that way, well during that time. I never expected that years from now I will got a chance to be able to know you and get close to you, just like the girls na kinaiinggitan ko lang dati. Nothing is certain in life talaga, 'no? Dati I'm just admiring you but I become your girl too. Natatawa na lang ako kapag naalala ko eh. Now I know their feeling of having Wesley Carter as their man. It's one of the best feeling ever and I'll be forever grateful for that. Thank you for giving me a chance and making one of my dream come true, Wesley.
"This is unbelievable, Kuya!" Reklamo ko habang tulak niya ang wheelchair at papunta na kami ngayon ng parking lot. Parang ngayon lang ako natauhan sa naging desisyon ko no'ng isang araw! Bakit naman kasi ang impulsive ko masiyado? Well, kung hindi ko lang sana nakita laman ng back account ko edi sana hindi ako pumayag sa suggestion ni Kuya.
"Ikaw naman mismo ang nagsabi na payag ka na ah after the talk you have with Wesley and after you calculate the money left on your bank account. Don't tell me, ngayon ka pa aatras kung kailan ready na ang lahat?" I heard him say. Gusto ko sanang mapakamot sa ulo ko kaso hindi ko pa masiyadong maigalaw ang mga braso ko.
Gosh. This is so frustrating. "I don't know what to feel."
"Are you afraid to develop feelings-?"
"No! H-hindi nga 'yan sumagi sa isip ko kahit isang beses eh! That's already in the past. Besides, he assured me na minsan lang naman siya uuwi sa house nila na tutuluyan ko kasi may condo naman siya. He said dadalawin niya lang ako minsan para tingnan ang lagay ko. It's not like we will live together, Kuya." Paliwanag ko pa. I sound defensive but whatever.
"We will see kung gaano kadalas ang minsan na 'yan." He said then laugh. His laugh suddenly sounds evil to me! Lalo lang tuloy akong kinabahan habang papalapit kami sa sasakyan na maghahatid sa akin papunta sa mansion nila Carter. Parang bigla ko na lang gusto umatras.
Pero I don't want Carter to think na masiyado pa rin akong affected sa kan'ya kaya hindi ako tatanggi sa offer niya 'no. I have to prove to Kuya and to him na I'm ot affected that much. Atsaka ilang months lang naman. I will make sure na mabilis ang magiging recovery ko.
We reach the vehicle na maghahatid sa akin and I was relieve nang hindi makita si Carter. I don't wanna see him or do I? Kung kaya ko lang sampalin ang sarili ko ngayon ay ginawa ko na dahil sa mga naiisip ko. Tinulak ni Kuya ang wheelchair papasok sa backseat and then sumakay na din siya. Hindi kami matigil sa kwentuhan habang nasa biyahe. Distracting myself from the nervousness I'm feeling habang papalapit kami sa destinasyon.
After half an hour of biyahe, we reach their house, or should I say mansion? Hindi lang pala basta bahay 'to. I'm expecting it will be big but this spacious! Gosh. This is like a whole subdivision?! Seryoso bang dito muna ako titira? Ilang minuto yata ang layo ng gate sa mismong mansion. I know that they are rich pero I still got shock. Carter family is not a joke.
"Am I gonna meet his parents?" I asked while looking at the window. Admiring the big mansion in front of us. I felt Kuya slightly hitting my head kaya gulat akong napatingin sa kan'ya, nanlalaki ang mga mata. "Kuya! Don't touch my head! Kagagaling ko lang ng surgery. My God!"
