Heartbeat (ON-HOLD)

Chapter 8.

Yumi's POV

Since I won the dare. I will formally ask Heart to go on a date with me this Valentines day. Yes, that's the plan. And I will stick to that plan.

After Max comforted me awhile ago, she never asked me why did I cry.

She just smiled at me then asked kung tuloy ang plano.

I actually don't know why I reacted that way. Maybe because I can see how they really love each other. I just felt........ maybe scared?

Kasi Bianca's my bestfriend, and I don't wanna lose her kasi yun ang nararamdaman ko nung nakita ko sila hugging each other.

Natakot ako knowing na she can lie to me just for her to be with Emil. Natakot ako. Sobrang natatakot ako.

"You're calm now?" Max asked

Tumango ako. Then smiled. She smiled back then outstreched her arms towards me.

"Come on. Today's supposed to be a fun day Mumuy. Let's go" sabi niya

I held her hand. Yeah she's right. I should not let this fear eat me. I know she's in good hands now. They're lucky to have each other.

I should be happy for her. I should not think negatively. She's gonna be my bestfriend forever. That's our promise.

Pagkadating namin sa tapat n car ko.

"Let's go. I konw a place Mumuy" sqbi nito at sumakay na sa passenger seat"

Napa face palm ako. Siya ang may ala ng place na pupuntahan daw namin pero ako ang magdadrive. Nice.

She rolled down the car shield.

"Let's go na Mumuy. Bilis bilis" she said happily

I rolled my eyes. Pero pumunta na din sa driver's seat

"Saan tayo?" Tanong ko

"Stroll stroll lang hehe" she said

"What? Sabi mo "i know a place" tapos stroll stroll lang pala?" Sabi ko

"E bakit ba. Place din naman madadaanan natin. Ayaw mo nun? Sarap kaya nang ganun. Tagal ko na di nakakaranas ng ganun e" sabi nito then pouts

I sighed. At sinimulan na magdrive.

"Okay lang ba bilisan ko?" Tanong ko.

Di pa siya nakakasagot nang binilisan ko ang aking pagdrive.

I am laughing dahil nanahimik itong katabi ko. Ang daldal lang kanina e.

I looked at her. She's about to cry kaya binagalan ko.

Gago ka Yumi. Nakalimutan ko na she's scared pala.

I immediately stopped the car at ni-park ito sa tabi.

"Shit. Max I'm sorry. Nakalimutan ko na takot ka pala" sabi ko

Tumingin siya sa akin. Her eyes are really scared. You're so dumb Yumi. Ni-cocomfort ka na nga ng tao, ganyan pa isusukli mo.

"I-it's fine Mumuy. As long as I made you happy, it's fine" she said.

I felt guilty. Ako pa rin ang inaalala niya talaga.

"No it's not fine Max. I'm so dumb to forget how you're scared pag mabilis takbo ng car. I'm really sorry" sabi ko

She smiled at me. Pinunasan niya yung luha niya.

"Okay na ako. Wag mo na lang ulitin please. Aatakihin ako sa puso sa'yo e." Sabi nito
