Born to be Yours (SS #1)

7

I cooked a dinner for myself. A plain one, but a healthy one. I'm mesmerized by the view outside my window right now. I'm looking at a half-moon while drinking my milk. Because I'm a good girl, it's a milkshake. Nakasuot ako ng bathrobe right now kasi mainit at kahit may air conditioner pa ay hindi iyon tumatalab sa sobrang init.

"People must stop burning plastics and paper and also stop cutting trees. All those actions are now our consequences. A helluva lot of karma." Bulong ko sa sarili ko.

Minsan talaga hindi maiwasan ng tao kung ano ang nakasanayan. Sometimes, saying and making them realize things is enough to change what they have done in the past and now. 

Lumabas ako sa sala at pumunta sa veranda ng condo. Suminghap agad ako dahil may hangin kahit kaunti. Living in the city is a pain, but living in the country is a dream. A perfect dream to live with. Napangiti ako kailan ko kaya mararanasan tumira sa isang simpleng bahay at makalanghap ng sariwang hangin. I'm tired of this pollution.

"What are you doing out here? With those clothes?"

Napatingin agad ako sa nagsalita. Speaking of crazy jerks, Zion is on my right side. My enemy is approaching.

"Wow. Baka tawagin mo ulit itong coincidence? What are you doing there? As if it were yours" Masungit kong sabi. Magkatapat lang kami ng condo pero hindi magkatabi kaya bakit andiyan siya?

"Yes, it is also mine."

"Your kidding me. Baka sabihin mo that is your girlfriend's condo"

Lumapit siya doon sa dulong bahagi ng veranda at sinandal ang mga kamay doon. He's smirking at me, or would I say, flirting with me.

"You always talk, but none of it is right. I don't have a girlfriend, but if you want, I'll consider you mine." Ani niya.

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko at medyo naibuka ko ang bibig ko. He's great at this and I know that he's the kind of man that a girl would fall for.

Lumapit din ako sa kanya. May pagitan kami dahil sa putol ng veranda. Hindi iyon magkadikit dahil may kanya kanya ang veranda ng condo namin. Hindi siya malapit at hindi rin siya malayo sakin. Sakto lang ang lapit namin sa isa't isa.

Nakahalukipkip ako habang tinitignan siya. This kind of look will never be effective on me. Yes, I admit that he's the only guy who has the nerve to be close to me. Natawa ako sa isipan ko dahil sa sinabi niya.

"Excuse me? Did I hear something? You're trying so hard to meet my standard. Kawawa ka naman" Nakangisi kong sabi. Hindi parin nawawala ang ngisi sa mga labi niya.

"If I meet your standard, I'll make sure you'll meet heaven and make you scream louder all day." His lips rose and showed a smirk.

"Your a pervert. Hindi ko hahayaan iyan. Hindi kaba kinikilabutan sa sinasabi mo?" Saad ko. Dahil sa sinabi niya ay biglang nabuhay ang dugo ko.

"Bakit ako kikilabutan? Did you not feel the kilig feeling? It's for you, but I guess I could take some action more often than saying it."

Itinuro ko siya agad at humakbang ng kaunti. He's making his words effectively known to me. Gusto niya akong makuha gamit ang mga salita niya.

"Don't you dare do that to me? I'm not that kind of girl you could play with. If you want to play, just search for a bar. Doon marami sila" Ani ko.

Nakita ko siyang natawa. Akala mo kung nagpapatawa ako sa mga sinasabi ko. I'm not a joker, but I'm not much of a comedian.

"Bakit pa ako pupunta doon kung andito ka naman? I'll just stare at you and make this place my favorite spot." Sabi niya sabay dahan dahang inunat ang mga kamay na parang dinarama ang lamig ng hangin.

He's flirting with me while not looking at me. Is this his way of flirting?

"Andito ako kasi dito ako nakatira at ikaw. Ikaw ang tipo ng lalaking hindi pasok sa list ko kaya stop flirting me" Ani ko sabay ayos ng buhok ko. Medyo malamig noong humangin. Hindi siya nakatingin sakin kanina kaya hindi rin ako nakatingin sa kanya.

"Baby, don't say that too early. There are 365 days and a lot of time to get to know each other. Don't worry, I'm not flirting with you to fall in love, but to make you my wife." Narinig kong sabi niya. His wife? Napatingin agad ako sa kanya. Nakita ko agad ang seryoso niyang mga mata. Nakatitig ito sa mga mata ko. Is he serious? Me as his wife?

"Your kidding right?"

"No, I'm not. I'm serious about what I've said." He's looking at me directly, like I'm his princess, the one he needed in his life.

My heart skipped a beat for a second while looking at him. We're staring at each other while under the light of the moon. Sa nakikita ko sa kanya parang siya yung tipo ng lalaking maharot pero gustong mag-asawa agad. Hindi ako naniniwala sa sinabi niya kasi masyadong maaga at masyado pa akong bata. Is this part of his trick? Para makuha niya ako.
