Deal With The Pain Of Yesterday

Chapter 18

Vui's Pov

1st grading started and ended well. Hyux and I became closer. He knew me even better and he knew the things I feared. We talked so much that we have nothing to hide with each other.

I'm lying at my bed now and thinking about our relationship. These past few weeks we've been very close and clingy with each other. Wherever I am he's there, parang ayaw niya na mapahiwalay ako sa kanya.

My classmates and schoolmates know about our relationship that's why when they see us together they keep saying "sana all" and me and Hyux would laugh at it.

Every weekend we go to mall or anywhere I liked. He said that he's happy seeing me happy. We shared a lot of things and stuff to each other.

Maya-maya lang ay tumunog nang malakas ang telepono ko at ipinakita nito na si Hyux ang tumatawag.

"Baby, where are you? I'm here at the cafe na," he said

Hala. Nakalimutan kong may alis pala kami ngayon. Nawala sa isip ko kakareminisce ng mga nangyari sa amin noong nakaraan.

"Uhm, give me 10 minutes. Hintayin mo ko diyan," sabi ko.

I heard him chuckle and said that he will wait for me there and to take my time. Kasabay ng pagpatay ko ng tawag ay siyang pagbukas ng pintuan.

"Oh. Saan ka pupunta?" tanong ni Viv.

"Sa cafe lang," maikling sagot ko para tantanan niya na ako.

"Ah. Sino kasama mo?" tanong niya ulit.

"Bestfriend ko. Alam mo ang dami mong tanong lumabas ka na nga lang muna para makapagbihis ako." sabi ko habang tinutulak siya palabas.

Grey sweater na manipis lang ang sinuot ko at pants pinaresan ko ito ng sandals at handbag na color white. I put some liptint and lipstick also to have a colors on my face.

"I look good" I thought while looking at myself in the mirror.

Pagkatapos kong magbihis ay bumaba na ako at nagpaalam. Buti nalang pinayagan ulit ako. Mukhang himala nga na pinapayagan akong umalis eh.

Nagantay na ako ng taxi na masasakyan papunta sa cafe kung saan naghihintay si Hyux. Nakasakay na ako at malapit na akong makarating nang tumawag si Hyux saakin.

"Where are you na?" he spoke.

"I'm here. Meet me at the entrance."

He looked at me with eyes in shock. Parang nakakita siya ng pinakamagandang babae sa mundo or in short like nakakita siya ng angel.

Lumapit na ako sa kanya na nanatili paring tulala.

"Hi, love," I kissed his cheeks.

"Hello, love. Fuck you're so gorgeous. Why are you like that?" he said pulling the chair for me and pushed it back as I was sitting down.

"Kalmahan mo. Ako lang to."

"Pero anong maganda eh naka sweater lang ako at pants," sabi ko agad.

"Ikaw, love. Ikaw yung maganda mismo," he said.

We talked for a while and ordered the food that I want. We ordered cookies, cakes, frappes, and ice coffee.

We took pictures after eating and decided to go to the mall since we have time. We held hands while going to his car.

He opened the car door for me and went to his side. While we were on the road he kept looking at me.

"I'm so lucky to have you, mahal," his eyes sparkled.

"Ano ba talaga? Kanina love tapos mahal naman ngayon. Anong susunod? Sweetie pie? Sugarplum?" sabi ko at humalakhak ito.

"I can call you whatever I want because YOU ARE mine." he winked at me.

We arrived at the mall and went straight to the bookstore to look and buy books. While walking to the bookstore, people kept staring at us.

I heard few of them say:
"Ang swerte naman nila sa isa't isa."
"Ang cute nila."
"Bagay sila."
"Hoy! Tignan mo nga 'yung dalawa. Ang sweet nila tapos ikaw, kahit hawakan' yung kamay ko hindi mo magawa!"

We looked at each other and laughed at their comments.

We arrived at the bookstore and I kept looking at this one book. I don't know if I should buy it.

I looked at Hyux to ask if it is worth to buy but suddenly these girls came to him— 'fangirling'. I just smiled. Hyux is very  good-looking, I won't be surprised if girls would go crazy over him.

I don't get jealous when girls come to him. I trust my boyfriend. Kahit ilang sexy at magandang babae pa ang lumapit sa kanya, ako pa rin ang mahal niya.

"Kuya, pwede pong papicture?" kinikilig na sabi noong babae.

Hyux looked at me to ask for my permission, so I nodded.

"Ah, sure," he agreed and kept a distance between him and the girl.

"Ako din po, kuya. Hehe," nahihiyang sabi ng isa.

They finished taking the pictures when the girls approached me.

"Hi po. Ikaw po ba 'yung girlfriend niya?" she said as I nodded.

"Omg! You're so pretty po. Bagay po kayo. Sorry po kung nagpapicture kami sa boyfriend mo. Ang gwapo niya po kasi hehe." she apologized.

"No worries. It's okay. Besides he likes it din naman when girls approache him. He feels confident and handsome."

"Minsan niyayabangan niya ako dahil diyan," I whispered, making them laugh.

After having a nice chat with the girls, he told me to buy it and so I did. Before going home, we bought two chocolate-flavored ice creams with chocolate bits on top.

It was a tiring day. But it's a good memory that I am willing to remember for the rest of my life.

"Hmm. Love, are you tired already?" he asked. Napansin niya sigurong pagod na pagod ako dahil nakasandal na ako sa upuan.

I looked at him for how many minutes. This is the boy that I love and I am willing to lie to anyone else for him. I couldn't ask for anyone else but only him.

"Yes, but kaya ko pa. Nageenjoy naman ako," I said making him smile.

"Pahinga ka muna. I'll wake you up kapag malapit na sa inyo," he kissed my forehead and adjusted the seat to make me comfortable.

Nakarating na ako sa bahay namin at kinamusta nina mama ang lakad ko habang ang mga kapatid ko ay humagikhik at binigyan ako ng nanunuksong mga tingin.

Sinabayan ko rin silang kumain dahil kailangang sabay-sabay kami parating kumain. Pagkatapos noon ay napahiga na ako sa kama at saktong tumunog ang cellphone ko.

"Hi love, take a rest na ha? I had fun today. Thank you and good night. I love you!" he said

"Thank you din, love. It was a blast. Goodnight and sleepwell. I love you."

Napahiga ako sa kama ko at napaisip kung bakit ang swerte swerte ko. Okay lang sa kanya na hindi kami legal sa parents. ko. He respected my decision.

We're happy. Eventhough we're together in secret on my side. At least I'm happy and I've experienced it.

This is what feels like to have someone that you can deal with any pain. I hope I won't lose him and I hope he stays no matter what.
