SERIOUSLY, HE'S SERIOUS | ON HOLD

CHAPTER 9: KISS

"I think of you and miss you every day. I just want to go back in time with you and savor all of my memories. I'd rather deal with your memories if it weren't for you," Rhael said in a serious tone. Bakas sa mga mata nito ang sinseridad habang binibitawan ang mga katagang ito.

I don't know if this is the perfect time for him to say those words. Maybe yes! But I can't hide the fact that I still don't care.

"Portia, I can't believe how much I fell for you. You know? My insides are warm because of you. What can I do to earn the right to be with someone as amazing as you?"

Ano bang nangyayari sa lalaking ito? Kung hindi niya lang ako niligtas kanina ay malamang hindi ko ito kinakausap ngayon.

I glared at him. Hindi ko na kayang pakinggan ang mga pinagsasasabi niya, parang ano mang oras ay bibigay ang katawan ko.

"What are you talking about, manyakis?" Itinaas ko pa ang isa kong kilay upang magmukhang mataray ngunit mukhang walang talab sa lalaking kausap ko dahil nginisian niya lang ako.

"Ano ba iyang mga pinagsasasabi mo? Just like before, you're still madrama pa rin," I added.

He hold my hand and planning to make intertwined, but he failed.

Well, let me know kung bakit biglang siyang nagkaganito. Kung umasta ay akala mo'y walang ginawang masama noong nakaraan naming relasyon.

Little did he know that I still remember his panloloko?

"Gusto mo ba ng ABCD?" tanong ko sa kaniya. Naguguluhan naman siyang nag-angat ng tingin sa akin.

"ABCD? What do you mean?"
Nagpakawala ako ng isang buntong hininga bago siya sinagot.

"After Break-up, Comeback Dapat?"

He remain silent and like a crazy man, he's thinking if I'm serious or I was just joking. Well! I am always serious unlike my past boyfriends especially him.

"Saan mo naman 'yan natutunan?
Hindi ko na sinagot ang tanong niya sa halip ay nagpaalam lang na bababa sa kusina saglit upang ipagluto siya.

Hindi pa rin maalis sa isip ko ang nangyari kanina. Akala ko ay katapusan ko na dahil sa lintek na lalaking hinahawakan ang bandang sikmura at leeg ko.

Kung oras na namatay man ako, handa ko siyang ipasundo kay San Pedro. Sa langit kaming dalawa magtutuos. If he's a bitch, so am I.

Kumuha na ako ng bacon and egg sa refrigerator at sinimulan na ang pagluluto. Ito na lang ang aking niluto dahil mas madali ito, narinig ko na rin kasi kanina na kumukulo na ang sikmura niya.

"Nga pala, bakit andito ka?" tanong ko saka inilapag ang dalang pagkain.

Bakit ba ngayon ko lang naisipang itanong iyon sa kanya e kanina pa kami magkausap? amp.

"To protect you."

Those are just simple words but why is the former so strong when he is the one who speaks? One of the reasons why I loved him back then was because of his voice.

I was so close to realizing how amazing his voice was the first time I heard it; he had an angelic voice. As I close my eyes, every lyric of his singing sinks steadily into my ears. It has a thorn that pierces the skin.

Because of the singer, if the music is painful, it becomes even more painful for those who listen to it. His voice is priceless, but if I want to hear it over and over again, I'm happy to pay because I know it'll be worth my money once the song is finished.
