The crowd was real loud... there were confetti around every corner of this place but my attention was nailed only to one person.
Iñigo Miguel Lopez.
Why are you doing this?!
I was still inside his arms and he was just looking at me intently as if he does not have any intention of letting go of me.
We were just like that for quite a moment...
Staring at each other.
I could really hear my heart beating. It was so loud and quick!
Magkaka heart attack na ba ako?
Iñigo Miguel, why would you make me feel this way?!
Para kaming tanga dahil meron kaming sariling mundo. He's now smiling, it was a soft smile but that's enough to melt me down.
Hindi ko magawang alisin tingin ko sa kaniya na para bang ginayuma niya ako para nasa kaniya na lang ang atensyon ko. Hindi ko na rin maintindihan sarili ko.
Is this the part where two people...
Gago! Anong iniisip ko?
Mabilis akong kumawala sa yakap niya. I bit my lips and looked around. I don't wanna see him. Nag-iinit ang muka ko. Sigurado akong namumula ako ngayon.
I shook my head so many times. This... this was nothing.
Miguel was just concerned. He was just worried of me.
Naawa lang siya sa akin.
Naawa lang siya kanina kasi umiiyak ako na parang buhat buhat ko na naman ang mundo sa likod ko.
Ang kapal naman ng muka ko para isipin na gusto niya rin ako.
Gago?! Hindi ko siya gusto.
Right.
I don't like him. I mean yes I like him but just a friend. Hindi ko siya gusto maging boyfriend.
He's... he's just too good for me.
I'm sure he just see me as a friend. Kailangan ko na ba siyang layuan?
"Smile. I'll take you a picture," he chimed. I looked at him and nodded like a kid. I just throw a random pose and smiles looking at his phone.
"Excuse me? Do you want me to take you a picture?" A random girl came to us looking so pretty with her smile. Nagulat lang ako dahil agad namang binigay ni Miguel 'yung phone niya at nag thank you sabay tabi sa akin.
Isang grupo sila ng kababaihan at may isang third gender, lahat sila ay magaganda. Ang ganda rin ng ayos at outfits nila. They started teasing us as Miguel stood beside me.
"Akbay naman!"
"Kiss!" The other three girls beamed. I smiled at them para itago kung gaano kumakabog ang puso ko. Naririnig niya kaya? Malamang hindi.
"Smile!" The girl who was taking the picture said so I smiled shyly. I think she took quite a lot of photos. Some of her friends were chilling at kinikilig sa amin ni Miguel.
"Kuya, akbay na!" The girl teased. I remained looking at the camera because I can't gamble for Miguel to see me like this...
Ngayon ko lang 'to nararanasan.
Ang saya pala sa pakiramdam.
I felt Miguel's hand on the side of my arm. Sabay-sabay namang nagtilian 'yung circle of friends ng nag pipicture sa amin. They're so supportive and I'm thankful.
