Chapter 19
"I think I'm falling in love with you..." I honestly said. My heart is beating too loudly and I don't even know how to calm it down.
"But I'm scared," I added. I lowered my head and bit my lower lip. I'm really, really scared. Pero anong magagawa ko? I am already falling. Kahit ano'ng gawin kong pag-iwas at pagtaboy sa kanya, wala pa rin. Maybe I should face it now and take a risk.
"I'm really, really scared."
"Saan ka natatakot?"
Hindi ako nagsalita.
"Saang parte ng pagmamahal ko ka nagdududa at natatakot, Casper?"
Hindi pa rin ako nagsasalita.
"Bakit ka natatakot? Come on tell me, Casper. What is it so that I can double my effort in showing how I am really into you. Tell me so I can rip off your doubts and fears. Aalisin natin yang takot mo."
"I don't know. I am afraid of everything might happen the moment I decided to give my heart to you."
"Then try me, Casper. Gamble with me. Kasama mo naman ako. Take a risk. This is so sure, I am so sure. I love you. Do you... love me too?" napapaos niyang sabi. Hindi ko na talaga nakakayanan ang ganito. Marahil ito ang unang pagkakataon na nakaramdam ng ganito kaya hindi ko alam at nawawalan na lang ako ng sasabihin.
He chuckled, "Mali ata tanong ko. Are you already falling in love with me?"
I bit my lower lip more.
"Hey Cas—"
"Didn't I already tell you?!" marahas akong tumingin sa kanya, naiirita. Uulitin ko pa ba? Pulang-pula na nga ako rito eh.
"I want you to say it again," paos niya muling sabi.
I gulped.
"I'm falling, King... I'm falling in love with you," I clearly said.
"Then fall in love completely with me, Casper."
I'm so... speechless. My mind is overflowing in thoughts but my heart won't stop in beating too fast. My heart doesn't care anymore. My heart only wants this feeling... my heart only wants him... and I can do nothing about it.
"God, this is heaven," he whispered. "This just a dream to me before but... damn," he cussed again.
Hindi ko siya matingnan sa mata dahil natatakot ako na mabasa niya ang ilang libong emosyon na bumabalot sa mga ito.
"Then, does it mean..." he started. I closed my eyes fervently because even I, this is my question to myself.

العاطفيةTrust Issues. Iyan ang problema ko kaya natatakot akong pumasok sa isang relasyon. Nakita ko kung paano nasaktan si Mama at ang nagiisa kong kaibigan. Saksi ako kung paano nakasira sa isang tao ang pagmamahal. Kaya naman, tinatak ko sa isipan ko na...
