When You Smile (Engineering Student #3)

Chapter Twenty One

Chapter 21

"Bakit dalawa ang bulaklak na nandito?" tanong ko kay King habang nagda-drive. He gave me another bouquet of flowers today but there's still another one at the back seat.

"Kay Kai iyan. Bibisitahin ko mamaya iyong girlfriend niya."

"Oh, I see." then my eyes went back to the road.

"Why? Are you jealous?" he chuckled.

Hindi ako nagsalita.

"Hindi."

"Hindi?"

"Bakit ako magseselos? May dapat ba akong pagselosan?"

"Wala naman pero..." he paused, he sounded like irritated again.

"Wala naman pala eh," I shrugged.

"Pero seryoso. Hindi ka man lang ba nagseselos minsan kapag nalalaman mong may umaaligid sa akin na babae?" Nagtaas ako ng kilay. Anong drama na naman ng isang ito?

"Hindi."

"What the hell, Casper? Maging sensitive ka naman minsan. Maging possessive ka naman. Magselos ka naman kahit konti!"

"Why would I do that? I trust you so I am not jealous," pagtatama ko.

"Tss, kahit na. Paano kapag may umagaw sa akin?"

"Magpapaagaw ka ba?"

"Hindi naman—"

"Hindi naman pala—"

"Pero kasi, Casper—"

"Ano bang pinaglalaban mo?" iritado kong tanong sa kanya. Anong gusto niyang gawin ko? Maghisterya ako kapag nalaman ko na may umaaligid sa kanyang babae?

"Wala," he mumbled. Oh naman pala. I rolled my eyes on him.

"Tss. Dapat maging possessive ka naman sa akin kahit konti," he whispered. Hindi ko maiwasan ang matawa sa narinig. I put my palm on my mouth. Korni mo, King, eh sa pinagkakatiwalaan nga kita 'diba?

"Cuz I trust you that much, King. Hindi ba gano'n naman? If I see you with another girl and then I let my emotions fill me then this is not good to our relationship. Isa pa I know that you're loyal. Sabi mo nga 'di ba kapag pinag-uusapan ng mga kaibigan mo ang loyalty ikaw ang example nila?" I pursed my lips, hiding my smile.

I heard him chuckled, "Yeah. You're right. Sorry." Oh, 'diba... napakadali lang ni King suyuin. Uto-uto kasi.

King became extra caring and sweet to me. I couldn't ask for more. My whole third year life was filled with happiness and contentment. I am still on the dean's list and my relationship with King is becoming stronger and stronger. He's so patient, caring, and lovable. But what I really really like him the most for the nth time is his smiles and his personality. I guess after all what stands out the most to a guy is his personality. His humor.
