Faded Love

"Kuys may gusto ka kay Janina noh" Hannah suddenly said.

Napukaw atensyon ko kaya napalingon ako agad sa kaniya at sinamaan ng tingin.

"What? I'm just asking, wag ka masyado pahalata" She said and rolled eyes.

"Hannah" Janina shouted as she came closer to us.

Andito kami ngayon sa cafe, yup the cafe where I first saw Janina, first nga ba?

"Ako walang beso?" Sabi ko. Nagbeso kasi siya kay Hannah eh sakin hindi!

Hala! Bakit ganito ako? Why do I ask her to make beso with me? The heck Dons.

"Wala daw.." I glared at Hannah who's now sitting and sipping on her coffee.

Lumapit sakin si Janina and instead of beso, she kissed me on the cheeks. Amp Janina.

"Hi Donny" She greeted at tinabihan na si Hannah.

"Oh wag mamula kuys, tago mo naman yang kilig mo kahit papano" Hannah said kaya napasipsip nalang ako sa juice ko.

Ang awkward shet, Janina kasi eh! "Kuys para kang bakla dyan, alam mo?"

"Hannah kanina ka pa ah, baka gusto mong isumbong kita kina mom about you and And--"

Tumawa si Janina dahil samin ng kapatid ko.

"Stop kuya! Titigil na ako and aalis na din" She said at sinamaan ako ng tingin.

Nagtaka naman si Janina. "Hoy aalis what? Kakarating ko lang! Bastos na kaibigan" Janina rolled her eyes.

"Andre already texted me Janins, i'm sorry pero alam ko naman na ieenjoy mo yan kasi diba--" Janina cut Hannah.

"Hannah!" She glared at Hannah na nakatingin sa akin.

"Okay okay haha sorry gotta go babes" She said at umalis na din si Hannah.

Kami nalang naiwan ni Janina dito sa cafe.

"So ano yung sinasabi ni Hannah? Ikaw ha eenjoy mo pala kasama ako" I teased.

"Sira! Wag mo pansinin mga sinasabi ng kapatid mo" Then she laughed. Gago ang cute.

"May gusto ka sakin noh" I joked kaya napahalakhak ako.

"Tss, dati pa," She whispered pero ang lakas talaga bumulong, kaya nakikinig ko din.

Natigilan siya ng titigan ko siya, mariin sa mata. While I'm looking at her eyes, damn those eyes, napapikit ako sa sakit ng ulo bigla, ang daming nagflashback, ang daming nanumbalik na ala- ala.

Donny: Ela, happy birthday!

As I gave her my gift, I kissed her on her forehead because that's her favorite thing that I always do to her,

Girl's voice: Thank you babe, couldn't ask for more.

Donny: What's your wish?

And now I'm holding the cake that I personally made for her with the help of mom.

She looked at me and smiled widely, her eyes is like a place where I can find peace and happiness.

Girl's voice: You are my wish. I need you to stay with me, that's my wish.
