3 | What is love?

Chapter 3 | What is love?

Nandito kami ngayon sa parking lot, it's already 3pm. I didn't expect to spend 4 hours with him but I enjoyed it.

"Thankyou for today." Sambit ko habang nakangiti, sinuklian niya din ako ng ngiti. Oh god I think I'll melt.

"You're welcome." He said and about to leave when he turn around and get his phone inside his pocket.

"Can I get your number? Atleast we can talk if... You're bored or angry." Nakangiti niyang saad, I nodded my head before handing him my phone.

After a few seconds he calls me and save my number, I did the same thing.

"See you next time, Kez." He said while waving his hands.

"See you next time! I really enjoyed this day." I said and wave back.

Nilabas niya ang susi bago pumasok sa loob ng kotse, mamahalin ah. He droves a mercedes benz.

Bumusina siya bago paharurutin ang sasakyan. Inilabas ko na ang susi ng motor ko at sinumulang buhayin ang makina bago paharurutin.

Ilang minuto ang lumipas ng makarating ako sa mansion. Bumusina ako ng para buksan nila ang gate.

Pag pasok ay tanaw ko ang buong pamilya sa dining, kumakain na sila ano oras pa lang.

"Yanna!" Pag tawag ni daddy. I rolled my eyes and looked at him.

"What?" I asked irritatedly.

"Come here and join us." Nakangiti niyang pag aaya.

"No thanks dad baka kung ano pang masabi e, Manang Linda pakidalhan na lang po ako ng coffee sa room ko no sugar please." Tuloy tuloy kong saad, Manang nodded her head. Tuluyang umakyat at pumasok sa kwarto ko.

Binato ko lahat ng gamit ko sa kama bago maupo.

Masyadong mabigat ang pakiramdam para makipag away sakanilang lahat. Kelan ba kasi uuwi and tatlong yon?

I looked around and stood up to get my guitar. I took of its case and stram it to see if the notes are right.

"He said one day you'll leave this world behind, so leave a life you will remember. My father told me when I was just a child..." While singing I remembered how happy our family In the past.

The Medrano's who always choose peace, not used on scolding eachother, oh how I missed that. Everything change when they made the most stupid thing in our lives.

And that was--

"Ma'am ready na po ang coffee niyo." Sambit ni manang Linda pag katapos kumatok.

I sighed and bring my guitar back in the case and stood up to open the door.

Kinuha ko ang kape kay manag at ngitian siya.

"Thanks manang."

"Sige ho." Sambit niya bago umalis.

I closed the door and locked it again, I don't like someone who sneak into my room without my permission.

Ipinatong ko ang kape ko sa study table at naupo. I walked to my balcony with my laptop and coffee.

I was having a nice evening when something came to my mind. LOVE.

I opened my laptop and go to google. I know this is stupid but for someone like me who doesn't have any clue about this one will also come to google.

'What is love?' I searched.

It says, 'Love is a set of emotions and behaviors characterized by intimacy, passion, and commitment. It involves care, closeness, protectiveness, attraction, affection, and trust. Love can vary in intensity and can change over time.'

"So that's what they called love huh? It's so corny. I'm not going to be inlove to anyone." I whispered.

I closed my laptop and finished my coffee. I got inside my bathroom to take a bath and to brushed my teeth. After taking a bath I turned off the lights and go straight to the bed.

Few minutes passed and I fell asleep, as usual.

***

"Hindi mag titino ang batang yan kung hahayaan ninyo!" Chairman shouted, It woke me up.

I looked at the clock, It's 2am for pete's sake!

I stood up from my bed and about to hold the doorknob to open my door when Chairman says something that made me stop.

"Ang bastardang iyan ang nagdadala ng sakit sa ulo sa pamilyang ito!" Chairman shouted again.

'Ang bastardang iyan ang nagdadala ng sakit sa ulo sa pamilyang ito!'

'Ang bastardang iyan ang nagdadala ng sakit sa ulo sa pamilyang ito!'

'Ang bastardang iyan ang nagdadala ng sakit sa ulo sa pamilyang ito!'

'Ang bastardang iyan ang nagdadala ng sakit sa ulo sa pamilyang ito!'

Hindi pa tuluyang nag si-sink in sa utak ko ang sinabi niya pero sa hindi malamang dahilan ay bigla na lang akong napaupo sa sahig sanhi iyon upang mag simula ng kalabog.

Agad naalarma ang mga tao sa labas ng kwarto ko.

"Yanna! Open the door, let us explain." Dinig kong sigaw ni daddy mula sa labas ng kwarto ko.

"Don't bothered to explain, I get." I stood up and go back in my bed.

I put my headphones on and play some random music. I can still hear their knock at my door but not their voices.

"Bastarda..." I whispered and felt something drooling down to my cheeks.

tears...

"I just once heard about it but damn it hurts." I whispered again.

Chairman's word is like a knife that kept stabbing my chest none stop.

I opened my phone and dialled Klei's phone number.

Pangatlong ring na ng sagutin niya ang tawag ko, wala na ding nangungulit sa labas ng pintuan ko.

"Hmm?" Bungad ng nasa kabilang linya.

"Hey good evening."

"Oh it's you, what's up?" He said before our conversation last until 4am. I told him everything, I don't know why but I just feel comfortable to tell him things that's going on with my life now.

"See you tomorrow I guess." He said.

"Yeah see you-- oh wait. I'm gonna ask you something."

"Go on." he said with a deep husky voice.

"What is love for you?"

He got quiet for a moment and chuckled.

"Love is complicated to explain but when you felt it, you'll figure out the answer by yourself. Love isn't what we forcefully choose Kez, it's what we wanted to have and to feel. And when you started to know how it feels? It can be so addicting."

His voice makes everything... peaceful.. like I'm safe and everything is under control. Damn why am I feeling something weird.
