Definitely A Mistake [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

JAIRO'S POV

"Alam mo ba, anak? I used to be one of those charming basketball players in my highschool days," kwento ni Dad na nagpakuha ng atensyon ko.

I grinned playfully at him. "Talaga ba, Dad?" I made sure that the tone I used sounded like he said something unbelievable.

He flatly looked at me. "Seryoso nga ako. At dahil sa sobrang kagwapuhan ko noon ay nagkagusto sa akin ang mommy mo."

Nakita ko naman si Mommy na sumama ang mukha saka binatukan si Daddy. "Nagkagusto ka riyan. I hated you to the bone, Kerby," naiiritang sabi ni Mom.

I laughed when Dad pouted like a kid. "Okay, fine. Hindi ka kaagad nagkagusto pero kinalaunan naman ay nagustuhan mo rin naman ako ha?"

Mas lalong sumama ang mukha ni Mom. "Ikaw, kung ano-anong pinagk-kwento mo riyan kay Jairo. He might believe your words, Kerby."

Muli akong natawa sa kanila. "Believe me, son. I was one of the most popular guys in high school and your mom was like a shy, nerd-type girl. Syempre I wanted her to notice me in a very cool way."

"You made her like you in a cool way?" I repeated and Dad nodded. I became curious. "How?"

My dad grinned. "I made sure to bother her everyday life," he proudly said, which received another not-so-hard smack on the back of his head from Mom.

"Yeah, right. You pestered me during my school days. A freaking campus bully." Napansin ko si Mom na nakaupo na sa single sofa na katabi ng kay Dad at nakikinig na sa kwento.

Napailing na lang ako habang naka-ngiti. "But you were the lady who made me the best version of myself. Hindi na ako na-guidance o nasasangkot sa gulo nang dahil sayo. Because you actually didn't want a bad boy in your life."

Mom sighed before smiling softly while looking at Dad. "The bad boy you or this man in front of me, I'd still be in love with you."

Agad umiwas ng tingin si Dad kay mom at tumingin sa akin. "R-Remember, son. D-Don't let your future lady see your red beet face. It's not cool," sabi ni Dad habang namumula. Pareho naman kaming natawa ni Mom.

My future lady would make me the best version of myself... and well... make me blush like how Mom made Dad blush.

Hmm... I'm excited to meet her.

Another year began and finally, I'm entering a new phase called high school.

I was in the middle of strolling on the campus, clearly getting to know the paths and rooms when someone caught my eye. I walked a little more back to be able to have sight of her again.

And there she was... silently walking alone towards the university's library.

I don't know why but I felt my feet moving on their own, walking towards the library.

Once I entered, I saw her talking to who seemed to be the librarian. They were discussing something and she cutely smiled and nodded.

Then again, I don't know why but I saw everything else turn to blur except for that girl.

Hindi ko namalayang nakatitig ako sa kanya kung wala pang yumugyog ng balikat ko. It was Sean. He was saying something but I couldn't hear him.

Ang tangi ko lang naririnig ay ang mabilis na tibok ng puso ko habang nakatingin pa rin sa babaeng iyon.
