Loving Him Even In Sadness

Loving: Ten

Truth or Dare

We came home almost lunch kaya pagkatapos nang surpresa ni Zack kanina agad kaming dumulog sa hapag.

There’s still a smile plastered on my face as I remembered Zack’s gift for me. He made the guest room my permanent studio. And we even danced there for the first time!

Kaming dalawa! I still can’t believe it! Iyong pinangarap ko noon na makita siya, nangyari na. Ang pangarap kong makasayaw ko siya nangyari na rin.

Wala na akong mahihiling pa.
On the other hand, I asked myself bakit hindi ko naisip gawin ang ibang guest room na dance studio ko? Nagsayang pa ako ng pera para sa mga dance class.

“Thank you… I can’t thank you enough though. I can’t put my thanks into words,” usal ko sa kanya nang matapos kaming kumain.

Totoo, hindi pa sapat ang salamat lang sa ginawa niya. What he gave to me as a gift was priceless and very sentimental to me. This day is unforgettable.

“I’d do anything for you Zen.”

Dahil sa sinabi niya, napahawak ako sa aking dibdib sapagkat ang lakas nang pintig nito sa hindi malamang dahilan. Dahil ba sa sinabi niya? Hindi ko alam bakit ganito ang reaksyon ko.

Yes, he did come here and surprised me but it doesn’t guarantee that he’d really do anything to me.

Tinawanan ko lang siya at pumunta na lang ako sa taas. He may not do anything to me but I’m happy even if these are all temporary.

Masaya ako hanggang sa paglipas nang araw na iyon at narito kami ngayon nakaupo sa kahit saang sulok ng sasakyan. It’s a land trip and Mom let us bring the limo together with our family driver para hindi kami mapagod kung sino man sa ’min ang magmamaneho kaya nagdala na lang ng driver. She wants us to enjoy altogether kaya hinayaan niyang ipadala ang limo dahil sa sasakyan na ito makakaharap mo lahat ng mga kasama mo.

The right side of the car where the long sofa located where the boys sat while the girls are in the left side. Ako lang ang nandito in between sa kanilang sofa, I’m close to the car’s trunk and it is more comfy here because ako lang mag-isa nakaupo at puwede kong gawin dito kahit matulog.

Layzelle turned the speaker on and started playing a music on her playlist. That gives me chills kasi kanina parang ang boring.

“Guys, let’s play. It is a long road trip after all,” suhestiyon ni Issa.

Everyone looked at her intently.

“What’s with the stare guys? So ano, who’s with me?” She asked and we all raised our right hand in unison.

“Sasali naman pala pero kung makatitig parang makasalanan ang suhestiyon ko,” she murmured yet she knows we heard it.

“Anong laro Issa?” Liam asked.

“I say, truth or dare,” sabi ni Issa direkta kay Liam.

Napasinghap ako sa kanyang iniisip na laro. I'm afraid if I’ll be choosing truth tapos I know to myself that I can’t lie to them, and if it would be dare I know that I will do everything to them if it’s acceptable to do.

“I'm in,” malamyang sabi ni Jes at sumunod naman ang iba. Kahit si Zack nakisabay.

Ngunit tiningnan nila ako sa paraang parang kinikwestiyon nila bakit ako lang ang hindi nakisabay.

“Zen huwag kj,” sabi ni Glydell. “We’re trying to have fun here,” her twin Gladys seconded.

“As if I have a choice,” it isn't a question.
