Mr. In Denial Meets Miss Eyeglasses

Chapter 16

"SO WHAT DO you think?" Napakamot ako sa ulo ko at pilit na ngumiti kahit gustong gusto ko na siya sapakin dahil akala ko naman kung anong emergency ang sasabihin niya like may gustong iba si Clio...but it's not...

"Let make things clear, inisturbo mo ako dahil sa rejection mo?" Nanlaki ang mata niya at naging mailap, I think I know the answer.....

"Hindi ako, MY FRIEND!" I roll my eyes, headache! My head, I need my brain fully functional for a week.

"Alright, alright this friend of yours the girl thought na nagjo-joke lang itong kaibigan mo? Is that it?" He nod, "then this girl you are talking about is taking him as a joke?" He nod the second time, "then why can't you tell her that you are serious about it? The confession I mean" he slap his palm on his face and I saw his jaw moved, his really pissed but I can't believe he manage to tell her that he likes her akala ko tatandang binata na itong kaibigan ko.

It looks like he got something that we never knew, like how did he even manage to confess? If that is called confession.

"Kasi nga ayaw niya maniwala, hindi ka ba nakikinig?" He didn't notice what I said earlier.

"Kaya nga, wala ka namang ginagawa para malaman niya na seryoso ka sa pinagsasabi mo alam mo Nathan kailangan kasi may gawin ka para malaman ng mga babae na may gusto ka sa kanya" he look at me like he doesn't believe me, it's not what the answer his looking for then.

"Really? I'm always with her!"

"Then make her change her mind about you, you have the upper hand. Just made an excuse, for you to be with her...." nag-isip pa siya at naningkit ang mata.

"Then what should I do?" I don't know kung paano siya nabubuhay sa mundong ito, he didn't even know about women.

"Like treat them with respect, be with her all the time para malaman na kahit anong mangyari nandyan ka sa tabi niya pero huwag kang makulit kasi ibang usapan na iyon. Be supportive, and be honest with her, protect her, make her feel na importante siya sa buhay mo at seryoso ka sa kanya. Court her or whatsoever" tumango tango ito at pinikit ang dalawang mata na parang nag-iisip, I hope he's thinking on how he should be honest with himself. Can't he just drop the denial act and tell her? Gutom na ako, kinuha ko ang sandwich at isusubo na sana ng bigla niyang ihampas ang dalawang palad sa mesa napaiktad ako at tumingin sa kanya.

"Pero paano iyong rival? The other guy!" Binaba ko muna ang sandwich at tumingin sa kanya, he really looks bother with such trivial things.

"Then unahan mo."

"Pero nag confess na nga siya and she took it seriously kaya ayun napunta ang atensyon niya sa kanya" oh so Rael makes his move as well, one point for him and for this guy? I look at Nathan still thinking about how coward can he become, or the way he keep telling himself not to fall for a girl like Clio.

"Then make a move, mas close kayo hindi ba? That will be easy" kinuha ko ang inorder kong milk tea pero hinampas nanaman nito ang palad sa mesa at masama akong tiningnan, I put the drink away and focus my attention to him.

"It's not that easy what if mag-iba ang pakikitungo niya saakin? What if she will treat me like a stranger?" Ang daming negatibo sa isip ng lalaking ito.

"What if she feels the same way as you? Give it a try before giving up, you'll regret it if you don't tell her how you feel towards her. Tandaan mo may lumang kasabihan nasa huli ang pagsisi, if you won't tell her na gusto mo siya eh kailan? If time goes by and if you keep it by yourself sinasaktan mo lang ang sarili mo, one day she might find someone and that someone is not you. Ano kikimkimin mo pa rin ba? Tatahimik ka na lang sa tabi habang tinitingnan mo ang taong mahal mo nasa piling ng iba? Nathan, kung hindi ka kikilos kailan? Paano kung may iba na siya? Kung kailan mahahanap na niya ang taong para sa kanya? Nasa timing iyan at sa lakas ng loob kung paano mo makukuha ang puso at isip niya, ang kailangan mong isipin ngayon ay kung paano mo maiiba ang image mo sa kanya. You need to work hard to get inside her system and imprint your name in her heart, not just her heart but in her entire being" umiwas ito ng tingin at napansin ko ang pagdadalawang isip nito, his eyes doesn't shows determination but it shows his confused.
