Chapter 12

I don't know how to react. Did he just said that he love me? Pero imposible. Yes, I kinda like him but... I don't think he feels the same way. Besides, masyado pang maaga para sa ganitong bagay. Baka naman guni guni ko lang 'yong sinabi n'ya. Maybe I was just expecting.

"W-What?"

"Nothing. Don't mind it." He subtly scratched his nose.

Hindi na 'ko kumibo. Hindi ko alam pero parang may parte sa'kin na dismayado. Ewan ko ba. Binalot kami ng katahimikan. Sa hindi mabilang na pagkakataon, tumingin na naman ako sa buwan at sa mga bituin.

"Ang ganda ng buwan, 'di ba?" wala sa sariling sambit ko.

"So are you. But you're more beautiful," he whispered, not looking at me.

Tinapik ko siya ng mahina. "Bolero, tss."

"Am I?" He faced me and his lips formed a playful smirk.

I pouted like a baby and he chuckled. Then I suddenly realized what I told myself 3 years ago. I remembered that exactly my 18th birthday, mom and dad chose to go to their business trip than to celebrate my day. They said that we'll just celebrate my birthday once they're home. I was crying that time while looking at the moon. From then, I told myself that whoever sits next to me while looking at the moon will always have a special place in my heart. I don't usually look at the moon when I'm with someone because I feel uncomfortable. But today... it feels just right.

"What are you thinking?"

Napatingin ako sa kanya nang bigla siyang nagsalita.

"Uh, nothing." Umiling ako.

He raised a brow. He doesn't look convinced.

"I swear! It's really nothing," I said. I eventually laugh because he won't believe me!

"There you go. Tumawa ka na. You know what, I'm just here whenever you need someone to talk to," he said after a moment.

"Thank you," I mouthed.

"I can be your... best friend? And that's if you want to." He shrugged.

"Of course! I would love that."  I licked my lower lip. Kung kanina ay sobrang lungkot ko, ngayon ay gumaan kahit papaano ang pakiramdam ko.

"Hey, Trix, I need to go. What about you? Are you gonna stay here? Alone?" His brows furrowed.

"Hmmm... I guess?" I shrugged. "What time is it by the way?"

His eyes drifted on his wrist watch. "It's just 7:15 pm. So, una na 'ko, ha?"

I nodded. "Bye! Take care."

"Alright. See you tomorrow," he said then wave his hands.

I waved back to him until he vanished.

Mag-isa na lang ako rito. Mag-isa na lang ulit ako. Sanay naman ako, e. Its just... I feel so tired of being alone. And I realized, kahit pala sanay ka na sa isang bagay, p'wede ka pa ring masaktan. I looked at the moon. "'Wag mo 'kong iwan, ha? You're the only thing I have," I whispered.

Maya maya pa ay nagtext na si Mom. That's how I felt nervous and at the same time... lonely.

From: Mom

Trixie where are you? We're waiting for you. Your Tito Greg is here and he's looking for you.

To: Mom

Okay, Mom. I'm going.

I sighed. I'm sure how this will go. Another exhausting day. I went to the parking. As I sit down the driver's seat, I immediately start off the engine. I struggled a bit since I'm still not used to drive. Kuya just gave me his fortuner last week pero kanina ko lang nagamit. He told me that he'll buy a new one so he gave me this car. Maayos pa naman 'to, maarte lang talaga si Kuya sa sasakyan.
