Song: Forgive Myself- Sam Smith
Meet
My mouth parted at Lucas' unexpected invitation. Napakurap pa ako dahil hindi ako makapaniwala sa narinig ko.
"C-Coffee?" I stuttered.
Lucas nods his head. "Yeah. Is it okay?"
I gulped. I wonder why he's suddenly asking me to have coffee with him. Pero hindi rin naman siguro masama 'di ba? I'm also not that busy yet.
Balak ko palang sanang mag-pahinga after noong surgery. Ngunit naisip ko, pupwede rin namang magpahinga habang nagkakape kami nito ni Lucas.
"Oh, sure. It's okay." pag-payag ko.
"I just hope that you're not taking this the wrong way. I just want to be friends... and talk about so many things."
Nanatili akong nakatingin sa kanya. The way that he was quick enough to explain himself was a bit of surprise to me. It's obvious that he took what I told him before seriously.
He's being careful now because he's afraif that I might misinterpret his actions again.
I chuckled a little after a while. I smiled reassuringly at him.
Wala na rin naman sa akin kung aayain niya ako. At maganda rin ito dahil magkakaroon kami ng pagkakataon na pag-usapan ang mga bagay-bagay.
Even if we already kept things casual between us... I have to admit that there are still times where we are so awkward aroung each other. And to be honest, I want that to change.
Hindi man nasuklian ni Lucas ang pag-mamahal na ibinigay ko sa kanya noon, kahit papano naging parte na rin siya ng buhay ko. Malaki ang naituro ng nangyari sa akin. And even if we didn't end up together, I still want to be friends with him.
So, I hope that the conversations we're going to have today will give us the closure that we both needed.
I chuckled lightly to ease up the awkward air between us. I smiled at him.
"Don't worry... we're good. It's really fine with me."
Lucas nods his head and sighed.
"So, where shall we get our coffees?" I asked.
Lucas and I ended up buying our coffees at the cafe where we first had our hang-out. Yes, I consider it as a hang-out now because that's the truth. I considered it as a date before but then I realized that it really wasn't.
Ako lang ang nag-sabi sa sarili ko no'n. Ag syempre, pinaniwalaan ko 'yon kaya mas lalo rin akong umasa sa kanya.
Lucas initiated on paying our coffees but I declined. I paid for my own and he was kind enough to just let me.
Pumwesto kami sa bakanteng lamesa malapit sa bintana. I smiled a little at Lucas when I seated in front of him because he looked a bit uneasy. Maingat niyang itinulak palapit sa akin ang kapeng inorder ko.
