"I just thought of something na...ako pala ang first na nagkagusto sa'yo, right?"
Jiro raised a brow after hearing what I said. His look of disagreement made him look funny. We've been catching up each other since last month, at pakiramdam ko ay wala pa ring nagbabago sa pagmamahal niya sa'kin. I still feel it.
"Sure ka?" He chuckled. "Ako kaya,"
"Me kaya! Crush kita mula noong binigyan mo'ko ng loombands..."
"At crush kita mula noong sinapak mo sa Nathaniel," He shrugged. "Kaya ako ang nauna."
My lips parted. Kaya ba inaya niya 'kong kumain 'non ng streetfoods? I still remember our first moments together. I didn't expect that I would end up...loving him.
We are watching the sunset together, dito sa open area ng treehouse.
"Can we be together now?" I sounded so desperate. Siya ang dapat na nagtatanong nito. "Can you...love me again?"
"Are you asking me to love you...again?" Hindi niya pa rin inaalis ang titig sa'kin.
"Y-yeah?"
"Hindi naman tumigil ang pagmamahal ko sa'yo, April."
Tumaas ang balahibo ko nang maramdaman ang paglapit niya.
"I love you..." He uttered.
I rested my head on his shoulders before also saying what I feel.
"I love you too..." I closed my eyes and I felt his lips on the top of my head.
We are surrounded by romantic atmosphere, and I still can't believe that I'm experiencing so much joy with the person I used to hate. This is the feeling that I was dreaming in this world. And became even more whelming with this man.
"Pero wala tayong label." Tumawa siya.
Umupo ako ng tuwid at hinampas ang dibdib niya. Sinira niya ang moment!
"My 'I love you' means yes."
His lips parted and he stare directly at my eyes, trying to read the emotion in me.
"Tayo na?" He was so hopeful. I didn't hesitated to give him a nod. "Okay..."
I frowned we he stood up from the floor at hindi man lang ako binigyan ng tingin. Nagmo-moment kami dito tapos aalis siya?
"Sabi mo, tayo na?" His forehead creased. "Bakit hindi ka pa tumatayo?"
I clenched my fist because he's annoying me again!
"Joke lang!" Umupo ulit siya sa tabi ko at tinatantsa ang emosyon ko.
He putted the back of my hand on his lips and kissed it multiple times. Maya-maya ay marahan niyang kinagat 'yon kaya sinamaan ko siya ng tingin.
"Kung alam mo lang kung paano mo'ko napapasaya..." He smiled. "I missed you..."
"Really huh?" I grinned. "At least, buhay ka pa..."
