You! Who Stole My Heart [COMPLETED]

Chapter 19 - Bonding x My Advice

**

Gusto kong manakal. Right now.

What a nice timing her fianceé did there.

And to tell you what I feel about her? Huh. Mas maganda pa rin ako. Take that!

*sigh*

Ano kaya yung sasabihin ni Khien? His face earlier was so serious that somehow I feel really that it was so important. Pero hindi na nga nangyari dahil may biglang dumating.

"Mapupunit na 'yong pillow."

I was shocked from the sudden voice near me. And I didn't even notice that I am holding a pillow, crumpling it while looking at Khien and her fianceé.

"I'm Keighcel Tan. If I'm not mistaken, you're Trishane? Right?"

"I am." She smiled at me. Parang narinig ko na ang boses nya noon. But where was that again?

"So, you're the girl who like my Kuya. The one that Sara was talking about." She paused for a moment, looking at me. "Ang ganda mo!"

Right! He's Khien's sister. I heard her before talking to Khien through video call.

"Yeah, you're so honest."

"Am I?" She giggled and sat beside me. "I heard a lot about you. You seem so close to Sara too. Gusto ko rin. Gusto ko rin maka-close ka." I'm a bit shock.

"What for?"

"Hmm.. I just like you. Maybe we should start spending time with each other today. Hayaan muna natin silang dalawa. Pagsisisihan ni Kuya na pinakawalan ka nya."

Wait. Did I hear it wrong? Ang weird. I don't get her point why she has to say that.

"Let's go?" She said, smiling happily.

MALL

"This is so delicious! Madalas ka ba dito?" She asked joyfully.

She's so happy. It's kinda cute actually. I've never had a sibling so it's really a new feeling and I like it.

"No, but my manager was always buying this stuffs for me."

"Oh. After nito, bumili naman tayo ng damit. Namiss ko ang Philippines eh."

"Sure." We both smiled.

"Can I call you, Ate?" She suddenly asked so I was confused slightly.

"Ate?"

"Yeah, can I? I really want to have an older sister like you. I knew you through pictures but Sara was right about you being more pretty in person."

Pretty..yes. Matagal ko nang alam yun. But hearing it now somehow makes me...sad.

"Bakit, may nasabi ba kong mali? It's true! You're beautiful!" I smiled at her.

"You know before, hindi ako nagwoworry sa looks ko. Because I, surely, perfectly know that I'm beautiful from head to toe whatever clothes, shoes or accessories I wear. I didn't care that much on my appearance." I sighed and still continued. "But these past few days, every corner of my face, my body, I always assure na maayos ako. Naging conscious ako sa galaw ko, sa itsura ko, even on my clothes na usually wala akong pakialam. Naging picky na ko. Until I have realized recently, na ginagawa ko lahat ng 'to for just one reason--all for Khien."

I don't know if I hate it. Basta ang alam ko, I want him to look at me, appreciate me.

"You really love him, don't you?"

"I don't know if this feeling is love, pero alam kong ngayon ko lang 'to naramdaman."

And I'm totally unfamiliar with this kind of feeling. It's like I open a new door in my life. Para akong nasa bagong mundo. And it's kinda hard to adjust.
