MY BIG FAT ROMANCE

MBFR : 28

EPISODE 28: GO UP, REACH THE TOP AND THEN GO DOWN

CM Melendez
Just get the paper bag on the door of the girl's comfort room. I'll be waiting for you outside.

Pagkabasa ko ng chat niya sa messenger ay agad kong tinungo ang pintuan ng banyo. Ilang oras din akong naghintay sa loob at ilang beses ko na din binilang ang mga estudyanteng nag-c-cr. Nang makarating sa tapat ng pintoan ay agad kong nakita ang dalawang paper bag na nakasukbit sa door knob. Isang H&M at isang brown paper bag. Tinungo ko kaagad ang cubicle at binuksan iyon. Halos mapanganga ako nang makita ang laman niyon. Lahat na ata ng brand ng napkin ay nandoon!

CM Melendez
I forgot to ask you what brand you are using. I bought all the brands that display in the convenience store. I'm sorry, the cashier asked me if you prefer to use it with wings or without wings. So I got you both.

Napahilamos ako ng aking kamay. Isang taon pa siguro bago ko maubos ang mga 'to! May balak ata itong regalohan ako ng napkin. Pati tuloy ako na-confuse na rin kung anong brand ang susuotin.

CM Melendez
I bought you clothes and shoes, too. I hope it would fit.

Binuksan ko naman ang H&M na paper bag. At hindi nga ito nagsisinungaling. He bought me H&M mum jeans, a white polo crop top and pair of white shoes, which really are my taste. I didn't notice that I'm smiling while checking the clothes.

And underwear.

Napatulala ako sa last message niya. Gosh, self! You're so embarrassing. How could I make a varsity player buy me underwear! This couldn't be happening! I want to vanish into a thin air!

My shoulder drops as I realize that I have no other choice this time. Though, I want to get eaten by the earth's crust. I wear all the things he bought with embarrassment. But what surprises me more; is the cloth's size is very accurate.

Hindi masikip at hindi rin maluwag ang damit sa akin. Saktong-sakto lang. Nag-aalangan akong lumabas ngunit pinilit ko dahil kung magpapadala ako sa hiya ay talagang hindi ako makakapasok sa klase.

Nilagay ko ang uniform sa paper bag ko at lumabas na ng banyo. Pagkalabas ko ay nakita ko si Clyde na matiyagang naghihintay doon, "C-Clyde, s-sorry to caused an inconvenience to you," sambit ko nang makalapit sa kaniya.

He grins as if he was very proud himself, "I know it. This kind of clothes will suit you. You look beautiful," he stares at me with sparks in his eyes. It really feels familiar; to see that kind of reflection.

Yumuko ako sa sinabi niya, unti-unti kong nararamdaman ang pag-init ng pisngi ko, "P-Paano mo nalaman ang size ko? I mean saktong-sakto ang binili mong damit sa akin," tanong ko sa kaniya. Pakiramdam ko naririnig niya ang lakas ng pagtibok ng aking puso.

He nodded and approaches nearer to me. I can also smell a familiar scent, "When I put the jacket around your waist and.. when I hugged you in the car." he uttered, almost in a whisper; that makes my heart trembles.

"Nakakahiya, nag-abala ka pa talaga," nakayuko pa rin ako dahil kapag tumingin ako ng deritso sa mata niya ay baka tuluyan na akong hindi makahinga.

He lifted my chin using his index finger, "It's my pleasure to serve you, Lauryn. Hindi mo kailangang mahiya dahil kusa ko pa rin itong gagawin kahit na hindi mo man sabihin," he cupped my face and pinches my cheeks. I feel a voltage running through my nerves, my heart seems trying to come out of my chest.
