To Love or Not

Chapter 26

Chapter 26

Parang sinumpa lang nya ako 'non. That I will never be happy.

The next thing I know, my birthday came. My 14th birthday came...at doon na sya nagsimulang lapitan ako.

It took 8 damn months for me to resist his coldness and his deadly eyes. Malamig sya before, hindi nga ako lumalapit sa kanya because of that.

At that age, madami nang nagkaka-crush sa kanyang babae. Of course he's fourteen. At nong nag fourteen ako, 2 months later he turned into fifteen.

Don na sya nag simulang pumatol sa mga babae na nagkakagusto sa kanya. I dont know but I had the urge to talk to him, no apologizing involve.

Hindi nya ako inisnob and he kept on smirking.

Mabilis lang kaming nagka-close ni Daniel, every day ay may pagbabago nang treatment.

But I didn't forget those things he said, na hinding-hindi ako magiging masaya and I'll pay.

Now I'm thinking 'kong pano ko nagawa ang kalokohang 'yon? If I let them to have they're own love story, sana hindi ako nadadamay sa kalokohan ni Daniel ngayon, sana masaya ako ngayon, wala sana akong doubts ngayon.

And worst— Samantha is my cousin. How can I betray her? Ang sama ko pala.

"So, si Daniel na 'yon? I never thought na may ganitong mangyayari." inabutan ako ni Ad nang root beer in can when we decided to go on the flat surface ,na mataas. Talampas, right? Dito kami tumatambay before.

Because the ambiance is relaxing, at nakaka-akit tignan ang mga ilaw sa downtown. Its 20 minutes drive from our village.

Adrian has been there through my best and worst. He know everything about Daniel. Kilala nya si Daniel at alam nya ang mga nangyari.

"One of his stunts to do his revenge." malumanay na sabi ko. He handed me a jacket ng niyakap ko ang sarili ko dahil sa malamig na ihip nang hangin.

"Confront him, Yvs." he suggested at liningon ko sya.

"He've choosed...pinili nyang mahalin ako rather than our friendship. He dumped everything."

Hindi ko alam 'kong totoo nga bang may so called friendship kami ni Daniel, baka isa din 'yon sa way nya para mag higanti? Now, my mind is full of doubts.

"Edi he really loves you?" he stated, still confuse. Mas na co-confuse ako, if you only knew.

Punong-puno na nang what if's ang isip ko, I don't think this is healthy anymore.

I am planning to avoid his presence but theres a big percentage na kayang-kaya nya akong makuha.

And I'm afraid that I might give it all in.

Its Daniel Buenavista, in my case, ang hirap-hirap nyang mahalin. Ang hirap sumugal para sa kanya, dahil alam ko, sa oras na sumugal na ako, I'll be all his. Wala nang matitira, 'coz from the start, nabihag na nya ako eh, kailangan ko nalang sumuko.

But I'm afraid, I'm really afraid.

"Hindi ko na alam, Ad." I drank at my in-can. Tumikhim sya. The only way for me to avoid Daniel is to have a boyfriend, that's a fact. Liningon ko si Adrian,

"Ad, do me a favor." he looked at me because of what I said.

"What is it?" aniya.

"Be my prentend boyfriend." please ,pumayag ka. Kumunot ang noo nya dahil sa sinabi ko.

"Bakit hindi nalang totohanin?" his eye brows wiggled, ngumiwi ako sakanya.

"I dont want to hurt you," malumanay na sabi ko. He smirked at me,
