When the heart skips a beat

Chapter 4

'Bakla san ka na ba? Hinahanap ka na dito sa shop'

I'm currently on the phone talking with Dian.

Dian is my co-worker sa pinagpapart-timean ko. She goes to other school tho.

The reason why she's calling me kasi daw hinahanap na ako ng boss namin.

I wondered why.

"I'm on my way na diyan. 2minutes"

'Bilisan mo, naku!'

Then she ended the call.

The moment I arrived at the shop I went straight at the locker room na para magpalit.

I changed quickly since ayoko malate lalo.

"Bakla, mabuti dito kana" si dian

"San si boss? Bat daw ako hinahanap?"

"Sabi if ever daw na nandito ka na punta ka na lang daw sa office niya" explain naman niya

"Wala bang sinabi kung bakit?"

"Wala eh. Sige na gora ka na dun dali" she said while pushing me forward

Then I went straight on his office.

I knocked the door before I enter

"Sir?"

There's no one here inside.

I looked around to check the surrounding then I decided to just go out and get back to work since there's no sign of him.

Baka nasa labas siya.

I was ready to leave his office when I heard a voice from behind.

"Krystal"

I turn to face the person and there I saw him holding a bouquet of flowers.

He went closer to me and handed me the flower.

I smelled it. It really smells like a flower, of course.

"You like it?"

"Yeah. Thank you but you know you don't have to give me.."

"Krystal, I know. But I want to" he smiled at me.

"why?"

"What do you mean why?" He asked confused

"I mean these flowers.."

"Krystal..." he took my hand and hold it "I've been courting you for like almost a month now and honestly, as the day goes by the feelings I have for you gets more stronger"

He sincerely said.

"I think I can't wait any longer to ask you this.."

He paused.

"Krystal?" He looked at me directly in the eye and asked..

"Can you be my girlfriend?"

—-

"Really?" Si dian "what did you say?"

"Don't tell me umuo ka?" Si jim.

Jim is one of my suitors also. Co-worker ko din siya sa shop together with dian. Iisang school lang din kami.

I know he has feelings for me but I don't. I mean of course I like him as a friend pero hanggang dun lang yun and una pa lang sinabihan ko na siya na friendship lang kaya kong ioffer sa kanya and that wag na siyang umasa but still he wanted to continue to court me so hinayaan ko na lang din wala naman akong magagawa.

"Omaygad! Silence means yes.. so is that a yes?" Asked dian

I just shake my head.

Di ko sinagot si mark, yung boss ko.

It's true na he's courting me for almost a month now. Unlike jim, I like mark but being in a relationship is not my priority right now. I already told mark about it pero same lang din sila ni jim na ayaw tumigil.

"Di ko siya sinagot"

"Whooo" jim sighed deeply "for a sec akala ko tuluyan na akong nawalan ng chance but then you didn't say yes so may pag-asa pa" he then laughed

Dian hit jim's head which make him got shock.

"Aray! Makabatok? Para saan yun?" jim complained

"Para gumising ka sa katotohanang wala kang pag-asa kay krystal" dian frankly said

I giggled

"Sakit mo naman magsalita" he said while pouting

"Ganun talaga. Truth hurts baby" asar pa ni dian

"Tumigil nga kayong dalawa" naging referee na naman ako ng dalawang to. Palagi na lang kasi nagbabangayan.

We're walking down the street kasi on the way to our apartment.

Yung tinutuluyan ko is malapit lang sa school and sa coffee shop na pinagpapart-timean ko same with jim malapit din yung apartment niya sa school while dian she goes home everyday since di naman masyado kalayuan yung bahay niya sa school na pinag-aaralan niya.

"Sige kayo baka mainlab kayo sa isa't isa sa ginagawa niyong yan" Tinukso ko nga

"Duh?! Kung maiinlab man ako sa babaeng yan bakit di na lang sayo" jim said

I rolled my eyes to him while smiling

"Duh ka rin! Kung maiinlab man ako sayo wag na lang" ayaw rin paawat ni dian "mas pipiliin ko pang maging single poreber kesa maging jowa ka no"

"Tss.. as if naman papatulan kita" sabi ni jim

"As if naman type kita para patulan ko" bwelta din ni dian

"Akala mo kagandahan eh"

"Akala mo kagwapohan eh"

"Aba bakit? Ganda ka?"

"Aba bakit? Gwapo ka?"

"Opkors! Baka nakakalimutan mo crush ako ng buong school"

Well he really is. Isa siya sa mga tinuturing na heartthrob sa school. Ngl, pogi si jim.

"Talaga ba? Buong school?" Ayaw din talaga paawat ni dian "baka nakakalimutan mo rin ako yung nanalo sa beauty pageant sa school. Siyempre hindi lang naman kasi ako beauty, brainy pa"

"Tsss... brainy daw"

"Oh bakit meron ka non?" Palabang tanong ni dian kay jem

Natatawa tuloy ako sa dalawang to parang mga bata.

"O, times up na. Tama na bangayan"

"Yan kasi. Akala siguro magpapatalo ako" sabi ni dian habang nagmamake face si jim

"Hay ewan ko sa inyo. Diyan na nga kayo"

I left them behind kasi naman ayaw pa tumigil haha

"Krys wait up. Wag mo naman akong iwan sa kumag na to" said dian

Walang katapusang bangayan ang nangyari.

Hayy
