Chapter 19

When Love Grows (19)

It was a set up! I felt really annoyed to Soren dahil sa ginawa niya. Gusto raw akong kausapin ni Kuya Miguel, and if I just allowed him to talk to me yesterday then this set up didn't happened. Kuya Miguel used him as a way to get me to talk to him.

Soren explained before he left me. Nakakainis because I feel like I was a payback because he owe something to Kuya Miguel. Sinabihan pa ako ni Soren na 'wag nalang daw matigas ang ulo ko at makipag-ayos nalang. Wow! Just wow! Sarap sabunutan!

I was like a helpless kitten a while back na naka-sunod kay Kuya Miguel. Memories flashed like a wind when I got inside his house. And here we are. Only the two of us. Kanina pa ako hindi nagsasalita habang katabi ko siya dito sala. Sana talaga bigla nalang akong maglaho dito.

Kumakain siya ngayon sa gilid ko. Kanina pa siya nagpapabalik-balik sa kusina nakikita ko na hindi pa bawas 'yung ulam niya pero 'yung kanin ang mabilis maubos. Swear, I looked like stupid right now.

"Bakit ka umiiwas? Bakit 'di mo ako matignan?" he was eating like the silence was making him hungry.

What does he think? That I'd still have the face after what happened? I chose not to answer his question. Bahala na siyang isipin kung bakit ako umiiwas.

"Asan na 'yung tapang? Dapat inaaway mo na ako ngayon." In my peripheral vision, his face was serious but his tone was...hmp! I didn't know if he was trying to mock me but he's doing great to annoy me.

I blew a short breath at naiinis ko siyang nilingon."Wala ka na sigurong magawa sa buhay mo. Did you want to see me for another round of quarrel?"

He looked amused after I said that. He scooted closer to me.

"Ganyan nga... Ganyan na ganyan gusto ko..."

"Ang sigawan mo na naman ako?" he's really unbelievable!

"Hindi. Ang nagsusungit ka..." Damn this guy.

Is he slowly becoming crazy? He's out of his mind. Gaganti na siguro ito.

"Uuwi na ako." I was about to stand. He didn't let me. He held my arm at ibinaba niya 'yung kinakain niya.

"Kalimutan mo lahat ng sinabi ko. Pati galit ko sa'yo. Kalimutan mo pati ang away natin." I was baffled with what he said.

Nabigla ako dahil sumeryoso siya. Walang bahid ng biro ang boses niya. I heard clearly what he said but I couldn't grasp it. Ang daming tanong ang naiisip ng utak ko.

"Hindi ko rin alam. Ilang araw lang, Precious. Walang hiya. Mababaliw ako kakaisip sa'yo. Sa mga pingsasabi mo."

Fudge. This conversation was stealing away the air inside me. Sobrang lakas ng tibok ng puso ko. I felt like...it's going to come out. Parang bigla akong kinabahan. I needed time to think about what he said. I was staring at his eyes. Nakakatakot na sobrang seryoso niya. Nakakapanibago kung bakit nangyayari ito. And facing him like this hearing how his words escalate to his point. I didn't know if I'd feel happy because I feel more nervous to the fact that...He likes me too. Or maybe I concluded that much.

Mas nakakatakot pala pero in a good way kapag narinig ko na galing sa kanya mismo. He looked like he tried forgetting and neglecting about it but it's just that he just can't anymore kaya pinagtatapat na niya.

I honestly forbid myself to breath when he touched the side of my lips.

"Gusto kita."

How long? How long did he feel this way? Natatakot ako sa naiisip na baka he wanted to use me to forget her. Ang dami-dami kong naiisip.
