I WISH I'M 27

Confession?

"Sorry sorry, I didn't mean to. I'm just joking." Sandro said while still tapping my back.

"No no, you don't need too! Nabigla lang ako, ok lang yan!" I replied.

And so we just continue eating.

and still bakas pa din ang pag ka hiya ko sa kanya.. should I confess? I know he's almost a decade older than me.

What if he'd ignore me after I confess? I don't want to be alone again. I'm not ready to face my own fears. And most of all, he didn't like me. And so there is a 90% chance that he would ignore me the rest of our lives. He's a great man, he didn't fail making me happy everyday. If i lose him.. it will end.

"Hey, Zaira you good? Kanina ka pang naka tulala ah?" Sandro said na bigla ko namang ikina-gulat.

"Sandro, you've scared me!" I replied.

I saw the worried look at his eyes, is this for real? Unbelievable!

"Hehe, sorry. Kanina ka pang nakatulala jan! Para kang baliw,ni hindi mo na nagalaw yang pag kain mo. Are you sure you're fine?" He said.

"I would like to confess, but I'm getting so insecure.." i replied

Nadulas nnmn ako! Zaira pangalawa na yan! Masyado nang halata kay Sandro!

"Confession? Kanino?" He asked.

"H-huh? Anong kanino?" I said, di ko mapagkakaila nahihiya at na uutal ako at the same time. I don't know what to say

"You just said it a while ago. That you would like to confess to someone. And my question is.. who is that someone?" Sunod sunod nyang tanong

"A-ahh.. t-thats nothing, nevermind that.." I replied.

"Zaira.. i know you.. ako ba ung tinutukoy mo? What would you like to confess ba?" Sabi nya

My eyes grew wide. Why did he know? Ganon ba sya katalino? Nakaka basa ba sya ng isip?

"Uhh.. hehehe wala un, ano lang.. hehehehehe basta!" I said

"ANO NGA!?!" masigaw sigaw nyang sabi.

Sa gulat ay Hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko.

"Ok ok! I like you-" bigla kong sabi sabay takip ng kamay ko sa bibig. "T-that was a misunderstanding"

"W-what? Y-you like me? Is that real?" He asked

Hindi ko na muli kayang sumagot, dala ng sobrang pagka hiya.

As i stand and put my plate on the sink he said.. "i like you too."

I frozed.

I almost smash the plate to the floor, after he said that. I was so speechless that the time i turned back I'm super red, redder than a tomato.

He didn't say anything else after he says he liked me. And so do I.

It feels so awkward, thanks to Alexander! Haha.

After few hours, he said he had to leave.
It still so awkward that moment.

"Umm, i-i need to leave na. It's late, bye."

"Ohh, hatid na kita, wag kana umangal."

"O-ok.."

After he left my condo, I push my self into my bed and rolled the comforter on me. Sabay nag sisigaw sa kilig.

Huwaaaaaaaaahh, i cannot believe that just happened!!! Is this a dream? Wag kana sana nagising!

I've never thought he would say that. I'm still not sure if he is serious or
what. And if yes.. of course I'll be so happy, and would be the most luckiest girl in the world.
Sandro is a very busy man. I'm not sure kung dala lang 'to ng pagka pagod nya. I don't want to repeat it to him. I don't want to be embarrassed, i don't want him to ignore me. Baka mamaya magka totoo ung predictions ko kanina. Ang hirap maka move on sa kagaya nyang mahirap abutin. This will just give me a wonderful memory. Dadalhin ko to the rest of my life. This will be my inspiration.
