❆ CLÍODHNA EISDRACHEN POINT OF VIEW ❆

Your one-sided love ended two years ago, Clio...

Your one-sided love ended two years ago, Clio...

Your one-sided love ended two years ago, Clio...

I felt like I was hit by a strong wave when Hera said those words. So... She has loved me for the past two years?

Holy Shit.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Putangina.

"Hera," I exclaimed with excitement. I am now sitting on a bar tool chair, watching her cook.

Damn. Girlfriend ko na siya.

Girlfriend ko na.

Shit. I still can't believe it.

Lord, huwag mo ng bawiin. Parang awa mo na.

Pinatay niya ang electric stove saka tumingin sa akin. "Namumula pa ang mata mo" sabay wika niya. Nag-aayos na siya ng mga gagamitin naming kumain.

"Bad ka kasi, you made me cry" I playfully replied, causing her to pause momentarily. A faint smile slowly formed on her lips, holding back a laugh as she bit her lower lip.

"Yeah, Clio. Paano ba 'yan. You also made me cry with your guitar pick proposal," she retorted, shaking her head while trying to hide her smile.

Ang sarap mong kurutin Professor Argente.

Laking ngiti ko siyang tinititigan, knowing every corner of her face by heart. Tandang tanda ko ang mga mannerism niya gaya ng kung paano niya i-rub ang tungki ng kanyang ilong kapag ka nahihiya. Sa kung paano siyang hindi makatingin sa mata ko ng matagal kapag alam niyang masasaktan niya ako. Sa kung paano niya ako tititigan kapag ka nagtatampo ako at saka ako lulutuan o kaya naman ay aalalayan ng malambing na yakap.

"I like it when my girlfriend is happy" Diniinan ko ang salitang girlfriend. Nakatingin ako sa kanya nang nagdesisyon akong umalis sa kinauupuan ko. Patuloy siya sa pag-ayos ng plato at kubyertos. 

I took three steps forward to reach her, then one step to the right, positioning myself behind her.

Bago pa siya makaharap sa akin ay niyakap ko na ang kanyang bewang at ipinatong ang aking baba sa kanyang balikat. I can smell her fresh scent, sobrang calming ng kanyang pabango.

Itinapat ko ang aking bibig sa likod ng kanyang tainga, itaas na bahagi ng kanyang batok. "I love it when you're happy" I whispered in a low, breathy voice, trying to catch my peace from my overwhelmed mind that has been worshipping her since earlier. My heart keeps pumping faster than average because of how happy I am right now.
