“Kuya! Hintayin mo ko!” She shouted behind me. Araw-araw, magkasama kaming naglalakad papunta sa eskwelahan dahil malapit lang naman iyon sa bahay namin and for years we’ve been friends. Our parents knew each other. We live in the same neighborhood and we’re obviously bestfriends.
“You’re just too slow Sarah. Walk faster.” I told her. I was two years older than her pero hindi naman yun big deal.
“E ang haba kaya ng legs mo! Yung isang hakbang ko, tatlo mo na! Kaya natural na maiiwan ako.” She said.
“Just walk faster alright?” She ran towards me and poked my shoulder.
“Di naman tayo malelate kuya e! Ang bad mo!” She said grinning.
“Hey son! Get your things sa car para maayos na natin yung bahay!” I heard a woman, around 40 years old spoke.
We looked at the car behind us. Nakapark iyon sa tapat ng bakanteng bahay sa tapat namin. 2 months ago the owner of the house migrated to another country and decided to sell it. I guess nabili na iyon. Hmm…a new neighbor? I wonder kung sino sila.
“Oohh. Kuya look … (smiles) I think ka-age ko sya!” masaya nyang sabi habang pasimpleng itinuro ang lalaking nakita nya.
She was right about his age. But … I felt something weird. Something I never felt before. When I saw her so interested at meeting that new guy, I think I felt nervous and … jealous.
That was the time when I discovered my true feelings for her. All the time I thought I only see her as a friend but it was more than that.
“Let’s go. Malelate na tayo.” I continued walking.
While on the way to school, I had this selfish thought.
Ako lang naman ang lalaking kilala nya, yung sobrang kaclose nya until he came.
Sana lang maging okay ang lahat. Kahit na may iba na syang kaibigan.
