Chasing Someone Special (Dare Series One)

Chasing Twenty-One

CHASING TWENTY-ONE

NANDITO KAMI ngayon ni Evance sa clubhouse ng village, pagkatapos niyang harangan ang sasakyan namin ay sinabi kong dito na lang kami mag-usap.

"I'm sorry" panimula niya kaya tinignan ko siya ng nagtataka "Ha? Para saan?" tanong ko yumuko lang siya "For being harsh to you those past few days" sabi niya kaya tumango lang ako.

"Naiintindihan ko naman, galit ka sakin kaya ka ganun, kasalanan k—" he cut me off

"No, its not your fault, I'm too harsh to you" sabi niya ka yumuko lang ako at pinigilan na pumatak ang luha ko, ayaw kong umiyak sa harap niya.

"I'm really sorry, but I read your letters, your message, and also I ate the cupcakes you gave me" sabi niya dahilan ng paglakas ng tibok ng puso ko. He appreciates it.

"I thought your not interested in sweets food?" sabi ko dahil yun ang sabi ni Laineth saken, binalingan niya naman ako "Yeah, but its your effort so? I'm eating that, its not that too sweet, its delicious" sabi niya.

Kalma lang Xay, sabi ko sa sarili ko dahil feeling ko sasabog na ang dibdib ko sa sobramg lakas ng tibok ng puso ko.

"So? Bakit mo hinarang ang kotse namin kanina?" tanong ko kaya muling nabaling ang atensyon niya sakin "I thought your leaving? Your going back to America right?" pagkasabi niya nun ay kumunot ang noo ko.

"What? America? No!" sabi ko ng mapagtanto ang sinabi niya, anong aalis? America?

"Ash told me last night your leaving today, and I also ask your sister, she said that is true? So what's the truth? You have baggage earlier?" sabi niya kaya lalo akong nagtaka.

"No, kaya ako may mga maleta kanina dahil ihahatid namin si Mom sa airport for business matter ni--- what the hell?" di ko naituloy ang sasabihin ko ng mapagtanto ang lahat.

"Ash and Kein told you that I'm leaving? Shit, I'm not, okay? That is my Mom baggage" sabi ko tumango naman siya at magsasalita na sana ulit ako ng tumunog ang cellphone ko, nag text si Kein

Di ko alam kung matutuwa ako sa kapatid ko o hindi, hays. "So? Your not leaving?" tanong ni Evance tumango naman ako.

"You told me I didn't response to your confession? That is because I want to ask myself first? If I feel the same way or deeper than that, and it took me to long to answer my own question" paliwanag niya kaya nakinig na lang ako.

"On my birthday celebration I want to talk to you that day, I'm happy because you gave me a gift and I'm more happy because you made it for me" pagkasabi niya nun ay pinakita niya ang pulsuhan niyang may nakalagay na bracelet, and that from me.

"I always wear it, and its always in my bag, but when I knew that I'm just a dare, of course I was mad because I hope too much" sabi niya at doon may bahid ng ibang emosyon.

"I didn't talk to you, I always ignore you to ask myself again, and when the day you explained to me everything, and when you leave. I badly want to run after you but I was stuck to the spot when you leave me"

"Then last night Ash and Xayrille told me your leaving so I decided that is my last chance to talk to you, and now I'm here in front of you explaining everything, just like you did, pleasing you like you did, and chasing you like you did"

Pagkasabi niya nun ay halo-halong emosyon ang nararamdaman ko. Basta nung mga oras na yun ay nakamasid lang ako sa kanya.

"So? What question did you ask to yourself?" tanong ko binalingan niya ako "Like did I feel the same way? Did it fall deeper? When did it starts? Why?" sabi niya at tingnan ako
