Kabanata 3
Shock filled my whole system, then suddenly I felt a hot body equal to mine.
I looked up to see where it came from. It was Cymon.
I left dumbfounded as he resumes to embrace my whole body. But I suddenly grab the opportunity when his grip slowly loses.
May mail.
My heartbeat was continuously pounding faster and faster every time. I turned right, to get back at our booth.
Hindi ko hahayaan na mabalot ako ng pagtataka. Pero bakit ganoon ang reaksyon ko?
Nagpatuloy ang foundation, dumami pa ang mga visitors namin at napupuno na ang vote box namin. Nakakatuwa dahil nagbunga ang mga pinagpaguran namin pero hindi pa huli ang lahat may bukas pa.
When our audiences lie low, Athena and Joseph continue to do their thing. Hays ewan ko ba sana all nalang.
Nilabas ko ang librong gusto ko basahin na hiniram ko kina Victoria, the story feel surreal as I go on deeper on its message. Siguro sa pagkakataon sa buhay hindi lahat pagtatagpuin gaya ni Juanito and Carmela, kase magsisilbing mensahe 'yon upang matuto sila sa maraming bagay na haharapin pa nila sa kani-kaniyang buhay.
"Stell? Ayos ka lang?" napatalon ng pintig ang puso ko ng magsalita si Athena sa tabi ko.
Her eyes filled with shock as she proceeds to stare at my face. It's too late when I realize na umiiyak na pala ako. I wiped my tears as I laugh at her reaction.
"Hoy! Tanga ano ka dyan?" I continue to burst my emotion into giggling to free the atmosphere between us.
I showed her the book cover of what am I reading.
" What don't tell me naging Juanito na rin siya?" panunuya nito.
"Baka gusto mong gawin ko kayong ganito ni Joseph, madali naman akong kausap" pagganti ko rito ngunit sinamaan lang niya ako ng tingin.
"Stell? When will you have the strength to speak yourself out?" she asked me straightforwardly.
"Hindi pa ako ready." I smiled fakely.
"Then kailan ka ba magkakatapang?" actually hindi ko rin alam Athena e.
"Hindi ko pa alam, siguro malapit na." pagpapatawa ko.
I always feel the pressure when it comes to this topic about a relationship, which scares me bad but I badly want the attention and affection I wanted.
Hindi naman masama si Cymon actually ang bait-bait niya sa akin although alam kong gusto niya ako kaya niya ginagawa 'yon.
