I want you to love me back

Chapter 3

"How have you been" i asked sam as we order our favorite dish in our usual seats in this restaurant,our favorite place was in here.This restaurant is soon to be mine,my abuela owned this,we used to hang out here eversince when we were young.

This place has a huge part of our childhood and dito rin kami unang nagkakilala,our friendship started when abuela brought me here and that was the time when i saw ailla and sam in the restaurant garden,kaya nga binabalikbalikan yung restaurant because of the ambiance of the place ,a beautiful scenery indeed.it is inspired by the botanical garden in egypt.

So ayun na nga nakita ko don sina ailla at sam na nakatanaw sa mga veta fish sa fountain so that time i approached them.May pagkamaldita pa nga si ailla nong una eh akala ko talaga ganun siya pero ganun lang talaga siya sa mga stranger while sam crying that time kasi nawala yung bracelet niya na binigay ng kuya niya,bago ito mawala i felt bad for her,so tinulungan ko siya ganun din ginawa ni ailla hinanap namin until someone came ,a girl na kaage din namin si nique,actually she's one of our friends too as you noticed,she's not here,nique was still on a vacation nagbalak pa talagang ipaextend yung bakasyon niya nanood pa yun ng concert ng bts,di niya yun mapapalampas,by the way siya yung nakahanap ng bracelet and the rest is history then we became friends that day and i also found true friends.

Back to reality na napahaba ata kuwento ko

"Di parin ba umuuwi si nique?"sam ask while taking a sip on her coffee
"Hindi pa im sure,she's enjoying the concert right now"ailla said
"That girl talaga,anyways kamusta naman kayo dito?"sam

"Mabuti naman ,ito maganda parin"sabay flip ng hair niya"tanungin mo yung iba diyan,nagiging stalker na kakahabol kay abo ,feeling ko obcess na siya don"ailla added ,she's pertaining on me of course,napahinto naman si sam sa kinakain niya and napatingin sakin

"Zia ,what's going on?"sam give me a curious look

"Im fine sam,it just that ailla wasn't convinced with the idea sa pagbibigay ko araw araw ng kung ano ano sa locker ni ash"

"Seriously zia?"sam give a unbelievable look and ailla nodded as a response to her

"Well ailla is partly right zia,don't waste your time to that cold man o kung sino man yun ,you have a lot of suitors and admirer ,you can even choose to one of them"sam

"I loved him and it doesn't matter kung ano man yung ginagawa ko,well magiging worth it rin yun sa huli trust me girls"i give them a reassuring smile, for them not to worry about me

"Well ,sige na nga payag na kami ,we are going to support you zia,as long as you're happy susuportahan ka namin "Ailla ,"what are friends for right?"sam added ,thats why im so lucky to have them they always got my back and even though they are not totally agree with this ,they still support me .

Nag order pa ng marami si sam ,you know naman,food lover yan and later on we decided na pumunta sa mall

Nagpaalam muna ako sa kanila na pupunta ako sa national bookstore ,may bagong published kasi na books yung favorite author ko ,habang naglalakad ako papunta sa isang rack ay may nahagip ang mata ko

"The star gazer!!" I excitedly said ,that was the book i ever wanted to have kaso nga lang palaging out of stock ,i hurriedly get the only one copy in the rack,wow im i dreaming?,finally i have this book .i badly want to read this book dati pa ,mabuti na lang nakita ko

"Miss ,you also want the star gazer ?" a guy asked me,he's wearing a black muscle tee and and a gray sweat short parang napadaan lang ata siya base sa suot niya

"Ah yeah,actually dati ko pa gustong bilhin to but unfortunately ,palaging out of stock "i responded.

"I'm also here to get my own copy of that book and sadly its all sold out already"he said "by the way ,my name is aidan and you are?"so aidan pala yung name niya ,well that name really suits on him ,ang pogi pogi niya pero mas pogi nga lang si ash

"Zia"i smiled and extended my hand for a shake hands"nice to meet you","same"then he smiled ,can't deny the fact na maappeal si aidan ,mas lalong pumupogi pag nagsmile ,eh si ash kaya kailan ko kaya makikitang ngumiti ang isang yun
dibale ipagkatiwala niyo na to sakin ,ako ang magpapangiti sa kanya, then i smiled thinking about that idea...

"Ahmm aidan ,you can lend this book after i read this kung okay lang sayo?"

"Okay na okay,so pano kita macocontact?"aidan asked"here's my ig acc you can chat me anytime"binigay ko sa kanya yung phone niya when im done typing .

"Thank you zia,as much as i want to stay here longer but i have to go,thanks again"

"See you around ,bye aidan!" ...

Pagkatapos kung pumunta sa national bookstore i hurriedly went where ailla and sam is ,sabi din nila na don na kami magkikita sa game zone at andon nga sila tas di mapinta yung mukha ni ailla ,bakit naman kaya?

"Oh what's wrong ailla,what's with your face?"

"May nakaaway kasing guy don sa arcade "natatawang sabi ni sam

"Yaan muna-"shockss wahhhh andito si ash

"Hoy zia,natulala kana diyan"ailla said eh kasi naman kyahhh andito si ash my loves ,agad naman akong napatingin sa gawi nila ,kaya naman pala inis na inis si ailla eh andito si jayden ,nagaarcade sila mukhang bagot na bagot na si ash

"Ash is here"
