Under the Same Moon [Book#1:Under The Same Series]

Chapter 3: Heartbeat

Jackie's POV

Naramdaman kong bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko. Kanina pa to eh nung nilagay niya yung jacket niya. Bakit ba ganito siya magsalita. Bakit gusto niya akong kaibiganin. Bakit niya ako gustong makausap. Pati future plan na mag stay sa isang isla sinama niya na ako agad.

The moon. It is so beautiful. Tama nga. Its nice to watch the bright and beautiful full moon with someone.

I really don't believe in love at first sights. Oo gwapo siya, ethical, gentleman,  may class, a good conversationalist - but yun lang ba talaga ang basehan if you love someone? Girls my age would probably say yes or it starts from there. Admiring someone at first and then growing and building what you both started. So its really work...and a choice not just purely appearances and feelings.

And sa case namin ni Fred na bakasyon lang ito sa apat na araw...ang hirap ma attach dahil alam mong hindi mo alam saan tutungo yung pinundar niyong pagkakaibigan.

Pero I admit unang kita ko pa lang kay Fred, may naramdaman akong kakaiba.
These thoughts come and go in my head and as I watch him view the moon...

"Yeah...I like how a guy like you could appreciate the moon."

"A guy like me?

"Oo...sorry...I have never seen anyone say beautiful things sa isang buwan hehe"

"So I'm the first"

"Yeah"

"That's good to know"

"Why?"

"Cause you're the first girl I have ever complimented too"

Shocks oo nga pala narinig kong sinabi niyang "gwapa" kanina. Di man ako marunong mag Cebuano pero alam ko naman ibig sabihin nun. Eeee nakakahiya. Namula ako bigla.

"Jackie? Do you wanna say anything? Ang tahimik kasi haha"

"Sorry nahihiya lang talaga ako."

"Its ok I understand. I hope I didn't startle you. And I hope tomorrow night maulit ulit ito."

"Gusto ko naman ng kausap eh. Syempre palagi na lang kasi si Jamie kinakausap ko. Na mimiss ko na nga yung dalawang bestfriends ko sa school."

"Kahit nandyan si ate Faye at Fritz hindi rin naman kami lagi nag uusap at iba iba din yung mga gusto nila."

"Mahirap bang maging gitna?"

"Thank God you asked that question. Haha sobrang hirap siya Jackie.. Ikaw yung lagi na lang nag a-adjust. Even if wala kang kasalanan ikaw pa rin pagagalitan so you always apologize for the mistake of others. Never kang magiging paborito although your intention is to love and help others."

"Awww sana makita at ma appreciate ka din ng parents mo."

"They do naman pero hindi lang sila vocal about it. As long as ok yung grades ko sa school, walang problema."

"Yeah but hindi mo ba nilo-long yung affection nila? Even just in words?"

"Syempre naman I do...but I don't beg them. Gusto ko natural lang na mangyari yun."

Eto na yung sinasabi ko. Na hindi sa appearance ang basehan lang sa pag admire sa isang tao. Habang nag ku kwentuhan kami, unti unti kong nakikilala ang pagkatao ni Fred. How is he inside and how emotionally he reacts. And boy how surprised I am.
