Hashtag "It's Complicated"

[05]

Pumasok si CJ sa loob ng bahay namin at pinagmasdan ang maliit naming bahay. "Pag pasensyahan mo na maliit at magulo naming bahay." Si mama na ang nag salita bago pa man ako makapag salita nun. "Okay nga to tita ehh puno ng gold medal. Para tuloy akong nasa museo ng mga iba't ibang ginto." Tumawa naman si CJ habang nakatingin sa mga medal namin ni Isaac. "Ay nako ate, sagutin mo na yan masyado na nag papalakas ohh." Binatukan ko naman si Isaac dahil para siyang tanga sa sinasabi niya.

"Ano niluto mo ma? Kain na nga tayo... Gutom na si Isaac ehh kung ano ano na pinag sasabi sa akin." Napaiwas naman ako ng tingin kay CJ dahil sigurado ako narinig niya mga sinabi ng baliw kong kapatid.

Lumapit kami sa kusina at nakita ko si mama na nag luto ng kare-kare. "Masarap yan iho. Pati bagoong ako gumawa niyan." Pag papasikat naman ni mama Kay CJ. "Nako tita, mukha nga po masarap. Patay ako nito kay Coach bukas mapaparami ata ako ng kain ngayon." Pabiro niyang sabi kaya sinimulan na niya kainin yung sinandok ni mama para sa kaniya.

Nung matapos kami kumain ay pinahatid ni mama si CJ sa may labasan ng gate. Kaya ginawa ko naman dahil nag ligpit na sila ni Isaac. Habang nag lalakad kami ni CJ I wanted to talk to him, kasi ang dami na niya alam sa buhay ko habang ako wala man lang ka-idea idea sa lalaking to. "Don't believe anything you read online ahh." Paninimula naman niya nung halfway na kami papunta sa gate. "Huh?" I curiously asked.

"I know you searched me online kaya nalaman mo name ko. But don't believe the rumors about me being kicked out of the team sa UST." He explained and I smiled at him. " Jeez, Cansino! I'm not that kind of person na super judgemental. Yeah, I kinda judge you by pulling some strings just to enter UP Diliman. That's just me jealous talking."

"Huh? Why naman?" Tanong niya sabay sandal sa may kotse niyang Mitsubishi. "Kasi from UST ka, that's like my dream school. Maganda raw ang architecture program nila ehh. Pero ayun... Minalas, hahaha" he looked at me as if he can relate to my situation. "Well, I wanted to graduate at UST too. To prove something..."

I just tapped his shoulder and checked the time on my phone. "Go ahead na, masyado na madilim. Thanks for dropping me off at my house and a nice chat with you." Ngumiti siya sa akin at tumango Naman. "Thanks for the chat rin miss ganda. Sana next time wag mo na ako sungitan ahh." Tumango tango ako at tinulak siya papasok sa may driver seat. "Oo na po, sige bye. Ingat!"

Then he left, his not that bad pala. Akala ko naman he's an asshole or a jerk but he's not. I get to see the real him, while having a dinner with the family and him.

"Naka alis na ba manliligaw mo teh?" Tanong ni Isaac na hindi ko pinansin at inisnaban lang siya. Dumeretso naman ako sa kwarto ko para gawin ang hindi ko pa tapos na plates. While erasing the guided lines I made from my paper my phone suddenly bursted from notification. Hindi dahil trending ako sa Twitter kung hindi tinadtad ako ng text nung lalaking kasama ko kanina.

How the hell did he got my number??? I was about to reply to his message to this guy nung bigla niya akong tinawagan. Dahilan para ibato ko sa kama ko yung phone dahil sa kaba. Shit! He is calling me. Why is he calling me? Anong meron?

Nilapitan ko yung phone ko at meron na iyon one missed call from unknown number, but I know who it is....

Then it rang again, but this time I didn't panic. I maintain my feelings from being overacting. OA in short!

"Hello?" Sabi niya gamit ang malalim na boses. "Hi!" Nahihiya ko naman sagot. "Bakit mo pala ako tinatawagan? And paano mo nakuha number ko?" I asked curiously, dahil masyado ako natutuwa sa nagaganap. "You're my classmate and I have ways to get your number. Besides I have a crush on you." Pag bubunyag niya ng damdamin sa akin na ikinakilig ko. Jeez, bakit ako kinikilig over a simple confession.

"Thea? Uh you still there?" Tanong niya na tinanguan ko. "Yes, I'm still here. I just needed a moment to process it."

"But why do you like me? Kapag nakikita naman kita tatarayan mo lang ako. Galit ka rin kapag nakakausap ko si Ricci or si James." He slightly laughed in a masculine way. "That's because I was scared of you knowing what I feel for you. Then I was kind of jealous over those guys." Napatawa niya naman ako. "So, what made you confess, Mai?"

"I was jealous all over again. And I couldn't let you get away." Hala ka? Kanino naman siya nag seselos? "I was jealous of CJ when he gave you a ride. I was planning to do it pero naunahan na ako." Sagot niya sa tanong na hindi ko naman sinabi, it's as if he read my mind. "Ang bagal mo naman kasi mag offer ng ride." Pang aasar ko pa but he took it as a joke.

And I spent my night just talking about random things with him. As in nag daldalan kami, mag damag. Hindi ko na rin nagawa yung plates na kailangan ko tapusin dahil sa pag uusap nga  namin.

I still can't believe this is happening, gusto ako ng crush ko, even kuya Kim won't explain this in any scientific way. Crush back moments is real pala. Ahh nakakainis ka JD Cagulangan bakit mo naman ako babaliwin kung kailan malapit na mid-terms week.

HAHAHAHAH maybe sinasabi ng oblation ng UP ay mapapasa ko ang mid-terms exam ko kapag may inspiration. Pero siyempre I still need to focus on my goal, why I wanna be a licensed architect. I can't get this crush-love-inspiration thing get in my way.
