36: I-inlove much?

Chapter 36: I-inlove much?

“We shall know that essence of love is a part, pano mo mamahalin yung tao kung hindi mo mahal? Developments? Lowkey Relationship? I don't think so. If you're developing something to that person, Maybe something was pulling you back, maybe you just like or love the idea of the attention he's giving you,” I said as my competitor started to appoint her side.

She gave me a sharp look, “A development is a type of involvement which you can use in anything. And that includes selflessness, even love. The fact the person totally likes you as who you are, it can make a development. You can make yourself more than the language what the person is telling you... You can't just belittle love, because love can do anything...”

I scoffed inside my head when I heard that. It was Lyle Lovett. My elementary enemy.

Nagtagis yung bagang ko, “Maybe, I am belittling love but to that, I still know the reason why love exist and gave us slow pace. May mga pagmamahal na ginagawang dahilan para makawala siya sa nakaraan, there are many types of love, ginagawa din itong paraan para ibigay ang tamang pagmamahal na kailangan ng tao. Kahit di niya ito mahal? Panggagamit ba? May mga dahilan. Kaya you can't reason out that I've been belittling love, because everyone knew how much it means to us, that's why I'm sharing you this. I've been a victim too, so don't mess with me.”

“TIME’S UP!” I heard the director shouted.

“What a nice battle! Miss hindi pinaglaban and Miss maraming problema sa pag- ibig,” ramdam naming nagbibiro ito pero ni hindi ko ito tinignan.

I was just looking at her. Parang nahimasmasan ako at napaisip ako sa sinabi ko. Did I state my own state?

Boom.

Napalingon ako ng may mga sumisigaw.

“Woo! Galing mo teh! Pinapatamaan mo ata sarili mo!” sigaw ng pamilyar na boses at literal na napairap ako.

“SO ANTIPOLO?! SINO ANG IBOBOTO NYO?!”

I looked at Lyle and she was just smirking while looking at the crowd. I sighed, bakit ba siya yung nakalaban ko? Tanga nga to noon eh, ba’t ba naging matalino to?

“MS! MARAMING PROBLEMA!” someone shouted beyond the crowd.

“YUNG ISA!” sigaw ng isang lalaking walang buhok.

“TANGE! SAN JAN? EH DALAWA SILA?!” sigaw naman ng baklang kasama niya at siniko siya.

Tumawa ang lalaki, “YUNG NAKAPUTI!”

Napahampas sa noo ang katabi, “BULAG KABA?! PURO SILA NAKAPUTI!” sigaw niya ulit at hinampas sa ulo ng bag.

I just did what I wanna do, gusto ko sanang i todo dahil last ko na tong debate lalo na at aalis na ako. I want to win but not too either, it's the people to decide, kung ano man yon okay lang.

I heard them shouted my name, they call me Leiah. “LEIAH!”

I heard Lyle too, but that was just few. “Lyle!”

The judge stand and even winked at me, “MS! MARAMING PROBLEMA WON!”

I smiled but that doesn't mean I was happy and so Lyle too. I wanna give her my trophy after I got it from my hands. Pero inagaw yon ni Samantha.

“Diba ‘yun yong Lyle?! Yung tutubi?” She sarcastically asked me.

I nodded as many things flashed in my mind. Her words. It has been 4 days but still... her words linger my mind.

‘“You’re a warrior too. Please emerge the one who brings something painful to you... and give chances to one who deserves it.”’

I look at the person Infront of me, he gave me a soft and loving smile, “Pwede kang pumalit kay Samantha as a Lawyer babe...” he said. May mata na agad na nagbigay sa kaniya ng masasakit na tingin.
