HGD22: I LIKE YOU :)

THE light of a sunlight was showing in a small space of an open curtain, I sat on the bed and sighed as I remember what happened last night.

I don't know what to act today, I don't know what to say if ever that I saw him the moment I step out in this room. I couldn't say hi to him because I am shy on my action. Should I act like I don't remember what happened last night or not.

Inayos ko ang aking sarili bago nagpasyang lumabas ng kwarto. Dumiretso ako sa kusina at naabutan ko ang mama ni Ram na naghauanda ng almusal.

"Musta tulog mo hija?" Tanong nito

"O-okay lang po." Sagot ko.

Iginala ko ang aking paningin sa paligid pero walang Ram and naroon.

"Ah.. wala si Ram, umalis may pinuntahan." Anito

Tumango ako at naupo sa uouang naroon.

"Gutom ka na ba?"

"Hindi pa po." I answered.

She packed up the food on a container for her children, and I admire her for that. Ram's mother is surely caring and loveable. I missed my mom, although mom didn't packed up my lunch when I was a young because she always pick me up to eat lunch together with her and my brother.

"Sa labas po muna ako." Sabi ko at tumayo.

Naglakad ako palabas ng bahay at naupo sa paborito kong upuan ang katawan ng niyog.

I am waiting for ate Pearl's text. Kung wala si ate Pearl ay hindi maiibsan ang pagkabore ko pag wala si Ram.

I am stupid to kissed him last night. Thinking of it makes me shiver. Like wtf? I kissed a man who lives in a messy place. He's indeed fisherman!
He's not my ideal man. And I don't understand myself, why I kissed him.

Pasado alas nueve na ng umaga ng dumating si ate Pearl. Wala akong kasama sa bahay at kami lamang ni ate Pearl ang naroon.

"Magtitinda tayo ate?" Tanong ko sakanya

"Hindi, may pupuntahan tayo." Ngumiti ito.

Pinagbihis nya ako ng maayos na damit at medyo natuwa ako dahil mukhang masaya ang pupuntahan naming dalawa.

"San ba tayo ate?" Tanong ko sakanya habang nagsusuklay.

"Sa mall lang bruha! Bibili ako ng make-ups tulungan mo akong mamili" she laughed.

Tumango ako. "Sure." I stated.

Akala ko naman kung saan na kami pupunta. "Ate, sabi mo pupunta tayo sa bar minsan?" Tanong ko. Tumawa naman ito.

Napalinggon kami pareho ng maulingan namin si Ram na ngayo'y nakatayo na sa pintuan habang nakakunot ang noong nakatinggin samin.

Nag-iwas ako ng tinggin at mabilis na tinapos ang pagsusuklay. I checked myself in a small mirror that I am holding after I put a liptint on my lips. I even pouted and I smiled when I saw how pretty I am today.

"Tara na ate" sabi ko at tumayo

Hindi tumayo si ate Pearl, naglakad ako papuntang pinto para sana mauna ng lumabas pero nakaharang sya sa pintuan at mukhang walang balak umalis.

"Excuse me" sabi ko sakanya. Hindi ko sya tinignan man lang.

He didn't move, he remain standing and he even rest his shoulder on the edge of a door.
