Love or not to love

Chapter 8

My name

Shocking. It is a small world indeed. He is the one that I bumped to 4 months ago. That's why he look familiar.

"Okay I'll buy your drink one of these days Brandon" I smirked.

He laughed.

anong nakakatawa!

Sasabihin ko na sana kaso naisip ko andyan lang sa kusina si Mama at Papa. Baka marinig pa ako.

"Okay I'll wait for your treat sis!"

ngumingiti ka pa ng nakakaloko. bakit ba ang gwapo parin nya kahit pinagtritripan nya na ako. dapat nga mainis na ako sa kanya. ang kaso ewan!

"Brandon, come on give your sister a hug!"

bulaslas ni Mama ng makita nya kmi sa sala.

"Later Mom, let's eat. I'm starving!" sabi nya na may pilyong ngiti parin sa mga labi nya.

"Let's eat then as a family, to the dining room"

Dinner

Si Papa ay nasa kabisera ng table. Nasa right side nya si Mama. I'm beaide her. Nasa kaliwang bahagi naman sya ng mesa.

Ang gara ng dining area. So elegant. The food are presented and prepared deliciously. May Seafood Kare-kare at bagoong, Sinigang na hipon for soup at madami pang iba. Creme brulee for dessert.

Di ako nakakain ng maayos. He stares at me. Everytime I'll look up to him , he smile and look into my eyes.

ano ba ang problema mo Brandon? I'm melting. The way you stare at me sends chills to my bones. Sagad! Are you nuts Brandon! Please look away so I can finish my food!

"honey, di mo na nagalaw ang pagkain mo, wala ka parin bang gana? You need to eat more because you are still taking your medications."

"Medyo po wala pa po ako gana, I'm sorry Papa, makakabawi din po ako sa susunod na araw. I promise" I smiled at him but it didn't reach my eyes. I remember my father. He also cared for me then.

"sige mauna kana sa kwarto mo iha, Brandon can you please accompany her to the room beside yours?"

magkatabi kami??
ng room.
kalma ka lang girl!

"Okay Mom" he said.

bumaling siya sakin.
"Come on Jasmine."

"Thank you for the dinner Mama and Papa, good night po"

Wala kaming kibuan nun naglakad at umakyat na kami papunta sa second floor nun bahay. Pinauna ko na sya. Nun nasa harap na kami ng isang room. He turned in to me.

"Here's your room sweetheart, welcome home." he gave me his sweeetest smile and hugged me tightly.

Nabigla ako. Hindi na ako nakakilos sa kinatatayuan ko.

Ang bango niya and he is so warm. My heart is beating so fast. Sa pagkabigla ko ba or dahil sa yakap niya? I asked myself.

Yun dibdib niya na matigas nafifeel ko sa dibdib ko. I pray to God na huwag nya mafeel ang eratic heartbeat ko. Nakakahiya!

Tumagal din ng ilan segundo ang yakap niya sa akin. Huminto ba ang oras or nag-iilusyon lang ako na nasa time wrap ako?

"Goodnight!"bumitiw na siya.

I'm speechless. I dunno what to say. I just turned my back and opened the door. I didn't give him a chance to say another word and shut the door as fast as I can. I clicked the lock. I hold on to the door knob as if my life depends on it.

I feel so weak when I'm with him.

After 2 minutes dun palang ako natauhan. I noticed my room is in a shade of pink. Wallpapers with some flowers. Curtains in mint. It looks fresh. My bed is pulling me like a gravity. Soft pink comforter that is very warm. I run into my bathroom and realized it's my wardrobe as well. Just like in a magazine. So fab!

There are my old things and there are new stuffs as well. Maybe Mama bought it while I'm still in the hospital. I've got signatured bags, shoes, a wallet, clothes, watches, accesories and even victoria's secret undies. I saw the bathroom and I shouted in my mind. Bathtub! Wow, I'm so lucky to have all of these. Did I deserve this? I'll definitely thank them tomorrow.

Lumabas na ako ng wardrobe.

I saw a mirror with lights and a chair in gold and pink. I saw some makeup -clinique, revlon, ysl, esteelauder and perfumes- d&g, clinique, victoria's secret lotion.

Agad na ako naghilamos at uminom ng gamot. I've got a personal ref filled with water and chocolates.

I saw a mcbook in the study table and some books on the shelf.

I lay down and alarmed my cellphone for tomorrow's class.

Thank you God for all the blessings. I love you.
