🌺Catching Feelings🌺
***

Lea

Matutunaw na yang cellphone mo kakatutok mo dyan, Lea!

Napakurap ako. How long have I been staring at my phone for?

Kung gusto mong kausapin, mag first move ka!

I smiled at the thought. Then natauhan ako. Ano ba naman tong nangyayari sa'kin?

Dalawang araw na simula nung araw na pinaiyak ko sya. I feel guilty for that. Kaya siguro ako naghihintay na tawagan nya ako, para mag sorry

Is that really the reason, Lea? Or maybe... You're

Catching feelings for him?

Ugh! No way!

But is it possible? It is, isn't it?

I recalled my drawing of him. I intended to make the details as visible as possible. I wanted him to see what's trapped inside. But I didn't mean that I'd 'like' a Part of him!

And those are... His eyes. The way he pulled me into it the first time. That was my favourite part to draw. That was the part of him that I 'liked'

Those truths underneath, those scars, those... Those tears he shed

I never expected that. I saw those crystal-like tears. It was beautiful. I never appreciated tears before, I never liked scars, But he opened my eyes to believe that there are beauty in the most painful things

Akala ko para lang sa mahihina ang pag-iyak, ka-OA-han kumbaga. But when I saw his tears, I know I was wrong

At tulad nitong nararamdaman ko, I thought Catching Feelings for people you meet at a short time was impossible. I thought that years seal emotions, akala ko pag di nagtagal ang friendship nyo, all will be useless. And yes, I was wrong

I always knew that Love takes time

But if I stay in that principle, what kind of Feelings Am I catching from him?

Anong klaseng pagtingin ba ang nakikita ko sa kanya? What kind of emotion, if not love?

"ay kabayo!" sigaw ko nang biglang nagvibrate ang phone ko

Nakakainis naman nag iisip pa ko dito. Imbis na magmaktol ay kinuha ko nalang yun

Pag-ilaw nang phone, nakita ko agad ang number nya

'Namimiss mo ba ako?'

Kumunot ang noo ko. Huh? How did he... Regardless, nagreply ako

'Hindi. Ireremove ko na nga sana number mo eh'

'So namimiss mo ko?'

Ngayon di ko na alam kung kikiligin ba ako o magagalit

All I know is napakagat ako sa babang labi ko, I know I was stopping that smile

'Kain tayo : )'

Napaawang ang labi ko nang magchat sya ulit. Papayag ba ko? Should I let this lingering feelings for him keep going? Kung magkikita pa kami, for sure lalo lang akong 'maiinlove' sa kanya

'when?'

I could've said sure first. Pero ewan ko ba bakit kailangan ko pang mag pakamysterious. Ba't ba ko nagkakaganito pagdating sa kanya? Paranoid ba ko?

'Now. Ikaw pupunta dito? O susunduin kita?'

I smirked, he doesn't even know where I live. Nawala ang ngiti ko, Does he?
