OPPOSITE POLES (COMPLETED)

Chapter Twenty-One

Lissy's POV

"Baby, tinanong mo ako kanina kung bakit pula ang damit na pinili ko sa 'yo, you probably did not remember it anymore but that was the color of the dress you were wearing the first time I saw you.  You looked so innocent, refreshing, young and so stunning that night.  I will never forget the first time I saw you.  Gustong-gusto kitang makilala noon, no I want you to be mine that day but I can't.  You were so young, matalik pa na kaibigan ng kapatid ko. Dahil close kayo ng kapatid ko akala ko magkapareho kayo ng ugali but no, you were the exact opposite."

What the hell are you saying Kiel? Anong pakulo ito?  Sobrang lakas nang pagkabog ng dibdib ko.  Lalo na ng lumitaw na ito sa harapan ko.  We were few feet apart, he was holding a microphone intently looking into my eyes.  Lahat ng nakapaligid sa amin ay parang bigla nalang nawala dahil sa sobrang katahimikan.  No one dared to make a noise.

"You were not that innocent after all.  I hated it when you blatantly showed you liked my bestfriend.  I hated it when you entered modeling.  I hated it when showed too much skin.  I hated it when you acted so selfishly.  I thought you were my ideal girl but you turned out someone far from it." I felt my face burned in embarrassment. 

Bwesit na lalaki 'to, pinapahiya niya ako sa mga kakilala namin.  Okay, I am not perfect too far from it pero kailangan ba talaga ipangalandakan yan sa lahat?

"Ang daming kong hindi gusto sa 'yo pero hindi ko pa rin napigilang tumibok itong puso ko para sa 'yo." he was getting teary eyed at pumiyok pa ito ng konti.   "I will embrace all the things I hated from you, just to have you by my side.  Totoo pala ang sabi nila, kung mahal mo matatanggap mo siya sa kung ano pa man siya."

Namumuo na ang luha sa mga mata ko.  I felt so happy hearing all this from him pero hindi pa rin maalis sa isip ko ang mga narinig ko kanina.  And it pained me, na ginagawa nito ang lahat nang ito ng dahil lang sa mana.

"I know I am not perfect, I may not be your ideal guy, you may have hated me too but know this baby, opposite poles attract kaya you can never get rid of me for I will always be attracted to you." huminga ito ng malalim at malakas na napabuga ng hangin na parang kabadong kabado.

"Kaya mo 'yan bro, hinga pa nang malalim." sigaw ni Alec na ikinatawa ng iba.

"Shut up, Hernandez!" angil naman ni Kiel dito bago ito humarap ulit sa akin at lumapit.  Huminto ito sa harap ko, malapit na malapit sa akin.

"I know that this is long overdue, nagtataka ka marahil kong bakit dati nagmamadali ako pero kung kailan na maayos na tayo saka ko naman na hindi inungkat ang bagay na ito.  That's because dati I just wanted to give Snow a whole family, I just wanted to be responsible but now I  wanted to make this day so special.  I wanted to do this the same day that I realized I've fallen for you years ago.  Yes, baby, I've fallen for you long before Snow, akala ko nabura na dahil sa mga bagay na hindi ko nagustuhan sa'yo but I was wrong.  It was just there, waiting to be awaken again."  ngumiti ito pero nagmukhang nangingiwi dahil para na itong maiiyak.  He looks nervous as hell. 

"Baby, I know I am an ass but know this, I love you, I love you you so damn much I don't know how will I live without you." may kinuha siya sa bulsa niya at lumuhod sa harap ko.  "Lissy Marie Antonette,  will you marry me?"

Kiel's POV

I am on my one knee, asking Lissy to marry me.  I have never been this nervous.  Hindi ako ang tipo ng taong maglalabas ng saloobin sa harap ng maraming tao but I just did.  I did it for Lissy, I did it so she will never doubt my love for her.  I saw confusion in her eyes the moment I asked her, na mas lalo tuloy nagpakaba sa akin.
