HIDDEN AFFINITY

Chapter 27

Sobrang ingay ng tugtugan ang yumayanig sa tenga ni Alyssa mula sa private room ng bar nila.

Halos lahat ng uri ng wine ay nainom nanya para makalimot pero kahit anong gawin nya hindi sya tinatamaan ng kalasingan.

Parang namanhid ang buo nyang katawan at wala nasyang maramdaman.

Im Glad you're here.. -

Napalingon si alyssa sa taong naupo sa tabi nya.

It was Laura..

Pano ka nakapasok dito? Don't tell me pati mga staf ko dito close mo - iling ni Alyssa.

Well, i am Laura lehman.. Ateneo court side reporter before right? So definetely.. Kilala nila ko so what are you doing here alone? Gusto mo ng kausap? - Ngiti ni lau.

Inikot ni Alyssa ang upuan nya paharap kay Lau at ininom muli ang alak sa kamay nya.

I want to ask.. Yung babae bang kagaya mo.. Pumapatol at kayang mahalin ang taong gaya ko lang? - seryosong tanong ni Alyssa.

Wait.. What? Do i heard that right? Isang taong Kagaya mo lang? .. Hindi ka "Lang" Alyssa.. You are the most famous volleyball player .. You'd never call phenom for nothing.. Ofcourse i could love you.. Not just love.. I could be freaking in love with this Alyssa Valdez infront of me.. Bakit mo natanong yan? - Hindi makapaniwalang sambit ni Laura.

Cause i felt that way.. ( Alyssa can't hold her tears) and what hurts me more is knowing that i already did my best but still feel useless... Hindi ko alam solusyunan ang isang problema na hindi ko maintindihan.. Na bakit kung kelan gumagawa nako ng pangarap kasama sya.. Tsaka pa nangyare lahat ng to.. I want someone to explain to me every little Damn thing cause its Damn hurt! I was hurt.. And still hurting! - Alyssa.

Its about Dennise and so called "Engagement announcement?" Ly you don't have to felt that way cause you're morethan enough.. Maybe there are things na hindi pa meant to happen kaya nangyayare lahat ng to.. Believe me.. All those hurt will be worth it in Perfect time. - hagod ni Lau sa balikat ni Alyssa.

How easy for you to say that? Bakit ang bait mo? Kung di ko lang mahal si Dennise baka hinalikan na kita ngayon..( tungga muli ni Alyssa sa alak) Alam mo ba when i saw her sa coffee shop noon at natapunan nya ko ng Kape.. I saw the strong personality in her eyes that i've never seen in every girl that i met.. lalo pa nung nakipagtalo sya sakin.. Alam mo yung lahat ng salita nya tumatagos sa pagkatao mo at you can do nothing but to stare at her.. Magmula noon.. Sinabi ko sa sarili ko na " Yan.. Yang babae nayan.. Sa susunod na magmamahal ako sya na yun.. " Ngayon aaminin kona na nilapitan ko sya intentionally.. Dahilan nalang siguro yung para maka moveon ako kay Bang. ( Ly wipe her own tears) Nung nakipagtalo ako noon kay Bang sa locker room.. Alam kong nandun sya.. Sinadya kong sabihing mahal ko pa si bang just to try kung may pagasa talaga kame.. Or mahal nanya ko.. Tuwing tinatanong nya sakin.. Lagi kong sinasabi na mahal ko si Bang but the truth is.. I fall for her deep everytime she ask.. And i was hurt more pag nakikita ko syang nasasaktan sa false thoughts nya na diko sya mahal... Dennise is the only Girl i love this far.. To tha point na kaya kong iwan ang lasalle para mapalapit lang sakanya. Even my Family knows how i am deeply inlove with Dennise.. And she doesn't know about that.. - Alyssa.

Namamangha si Laura sa mga sinasabi ni Alyssa.

Di nya alam na meron pa palang taong sobra sobrang magmahal..
