Faded Love

10

X.

It's been weeks since we met and saw Janina again. And weeks na din akong laging kasama siya, wemre always together kaya minsan napagkakamalang nagkita na daw ulit kami? Sobrang gulo na. Ewan.

"Janina, wanna go to a cafe?" Hannah asked her.

Andito kami sa bahay ngayon, yup, halos dito na tumitira si Janina. It's like she's part of the family already but nah, I can't accept her as my sister. Kung girlfriend pwede pa.

I laugh at my own thoughts. Sira na ata ulo ko.

"What's funny Donny?" Janina suddenly speak kaya nabalik ako sa realidad.

"Wala, may naisip lang ako." Excuse ko.

Nasapok ko ang ulo ko sa mga iniisip ko na imposible. Haha why would I fall inlove with a person na stranger pa rin for me?

"Oh ano kuys, sasama ka ba?" Tanong sa akin ni Hannah.

Handa na sila umalis for a coffee date. "Dons sumama ka na nga, ayoko mag third wheel please" Janina said.

"Huy!" Tapik niya sa akin. "Samahan mo na ako dali!" She repeated.

"Ha? Bakit? Sino ba thi- third wheel- an mo? Akala ko kayong dalawa lang?" Sabi ko.

Medyo tinatamad na ako. Araw- araw nalang kami magkasama talaga ni Janina, like yesterday, we went out at nag- roadtrip and I really can't forget what she just said last night.

[ roadtrip part ]

— janina: donny, thank you

— donny: huh? for what?

we're on a roadtrip, yup kaming dalawa lang. janina invited me pero ako pala magdrive coz she doesn't know how to drive. silly girl.

— janina: for always being with me, alam ko sawa ka na kasi lagi tayong magkasama..
— donny: ano ka ba, wala yon haha parang bonding na din to, to get to know you more as my sister's bestfriend.
— janina: besides that you need to know something pala..
— donny: sure what's it?

she looked at the road and at the side mirror. before she looked at me again, she smiled, kita ko 'yon sa side mirror.

— janina: ano, diba lagi kang nagtataka bakit kilalang kilala na kita?

i just nodded.

— janina: by that kasi ganto, kilala na talaga kita dati pa like as in sobra

I laughed because of what she said.

— donny: yeah, you know me because you're my sister's bestf--
— janina: iba, I have different reason..

i'm so curious kaya hininaan ko ang volume ng music.

— donny: what do you mean ibang rason?
— janina: first love..

Napalakas yung tawa ko.

— donny: lol at you janina haha what are you saying? si Alliah pa lang ang minamahal ko.
— janina: maybe now you can't understand, but soon you will. hatid mo na ako.

[ end of roadtrip part ]

Umiling- iling ako.

"Kasama kasi ni Hannah si Andre, so ayoko mag third wheel sis?" She murmured.

"Tss, okay fine." Sagot ko. Hindi ako makakatanggi this time kasi may gusto akong malaman.

"Hannah, maiwan muna namin kayo ni Andre ah" Hinigit ko si Janina sa ibang table, malayo sa table nina Hannah.

"Aray ko naman, please be careful gad!" Sigaw niya.

"Ssshh, ingay" I mouthed.

"Aray! Ano ba problema mo?" Sabi niya.

Oh she forgot what she said last night.

"Oh shoot dang it! Forget what I said last night, it's not important.."

Sabi niya and tinitigan ko lang siya. "Ang cute mo pero dito ka lang, what do you want me to understand?" Tatayo na kasi siya para bumalik sa table nina Hannah.

"Donny, it's too early for you to know" Sabi niya.

"Why is that so? Alam mo Janina if sikreto yan, you shouldn't tell anyone" I replied and chuckled.

She look at me intently.

"You really wanna know, huh?" She said.

"Psh, oo Janina, I wanna know, EVERYTHING. And when I say everything, EVERYTHING about YOU.." Tinuro ko siya.

".. and me"
