My ARAH

Chapter 48

Light's POV

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang sasabihin. Parang nawalan ako bigla ng dila. Bakit ko naman kasi sinabi yun eh. At si Faye dapat ko rin syang sisihin, kung bakit naman kasi hindi nya muna sinugorado na nakaclose na ang pinto bago umalis eh.

"Light tell me, tell me." pangungulit pa ni Jie. Kami nalang dalawa ngayon ang naiwan sa opisina ko dahil umalis muna ang dalawang lalaki para asikasuhin ang mga kalat sa lobby. Halos hindi ko nga matignan sa mata si Russell ng magpaalam silang lumabas eh.

"I told you, hindi ko pa nga sya sinasagot. Nabigla nga rin ako kanina sa sinabi ko eh." sabi ko sa kanya habang naka pangulambaba na sa mesa. Kanina pa ako kinukulit nito eh.

"Ah, I think I know why you said that. It's because your jealous!"

"What? Where not even together so why would I be jealous."

"It's because you don't want someone to claim what's yours."

"Technically he's not my boyfriend yet so his not mine."

"But in your heart, he's already yours. Aminin mo na kasi, ganyan di ako dati kay Khan eh."

"Ganoon ba yun?" inosente kung tanong, eh malay ko ba ngayon ko lang naramdam to eh.

"So innocent, have you been in a relationship?"

"I told you, I don't have a time for that."

"What about now? Are you ready to enter a relationship?" Am I ready? I think so, if its with Russell.

"I thought so. Because when I'm with Russell I'm happy and I feel like I miss him every time. And I feel safe when I'm with him too." I honestly answer her, because that's really how I feel right now.

"I guess you're really ready to feel the love."

"You think I love your brother? I know that I like him, but love? Isn't it a little bit fast?"

"Light, when you love comes to you there's no turning back. You just have to accept it and feel it. Hindi naman sa tagal na magkakilala sinusakat yan. At isa pa maraming panahon pa para kilalanin nyo ang isa't isa." sabi ni Jie at hinaplos ang pisngi ko.

"Siguro nga mahal ko na sya, dahil ng makilala ko sya, kayo ay natuto akong buksan ang sarili ko at natuto akong maging masaya ng buo." I feel my tears falling in my eyes, na agad namang pinahiran ni Jie gamit ang dalawa nyang hintuturo.

"I'm happy that Russell made you felt like that. And I'm happy too that I'm one of the reason of your changes."

"Thank you Jie." nakangiti kong sabi sa kanya at hinawakan ang kamay nya. Ngumiti rin naman sya sakin at mahinang pinisil ang mga kamay ko.

"Ok, enough with our drama. Since our class got canceled also Russell classes why don't we have a double date?" excited na sabi nya.

"It's ok with me, since nagugutom narin naman ako why don't we go to mall."

"That's great, then I tell the guys. But wait a minute where did you get change?"

"I have a little room here."

"Really! Where?"

Mukhang hindi pa sya maka paniwala sa nalaman nya. Ano nalang kaya pagsinabi kung may private elevator rin ako. Katulad kasi ng mini room ko dito sa opisina ko ay natatabingan rin ito ng kurtina. Actually maglapit lang naman ang private elevator ko at ang mini room ko. Tumayo ako at lumapit sa mini room ko at hinawi ang kurtina. Nakita ko namang nanlaki ang mga mata ni Jie sa nakita nya.
