When We Were Young (GC Book 2)

25

After they spent the night together, back to work na naman si Sara.

And since Bong was representing his Manang Imee, magkasama pa din sila sa campaign.

Kinailangan kasing puntahan ni Manang ang mommy nila sa Ilocos.

Pero dahil hindi pa sila legal, the two decided to keep it lowkey.

But some things are just very difficult to hide.

So as they started their campaign in Iloilo, hirap na hirap ang dalawang itago nag nararamdaman nila.

When Sara speaks, di maiwasan ni Bong na laging lingunin ito.

He couldn't help but stare at her.

Ganun din si Sara when it was Bong's turn to speak, di niya din mapigilang mapatitig dito.

Grabe kasi talaga ang charisma ni Bong. Especially when he speaks. Kahit sino hindi talaga makakapagpigil at mapapatingin.

He is such an eloquent speaker na kapag nagsasalita ito, lahat nakikinig including Sara.

It was really weird kasi kahit dumaan na sila sa pagiging schoolmates, mag jowa at mag asawa, this is the first time that she witnessed how smart he really is.

Her eyes sparkle with amazement whenever she hears him do his speech.

Si Bong naman, na amaze  din on how charming Sara is.

Yes, given na maganda talaga ito but the way she connects with people is different.

Everyone she speaks with, napapahanga sa kanya.

Lalo na yung mga lalaki.

So in one of the baranggays they went to, there was this official na dikit ng dikit kay Sara.

Ang gwapo din nito. Matangkad at laging nakapako ang tingin kay Sara habang nagsasalita ito.

When Bong noticed, agad niyang tinitigan ng masama ito. Buti nalang at hindi siya nakikita nito kung hindi baka magkagulo pa.

He looked at the guy na busy sa kaka picture sa love niya habang nagsasalita ito.

Hindi naman na siya insecure kasi alam niyang panalo na siya sa puso ng baby doll niya. Pero di pa din niya mapigilang maasar so he started commenting on his mind.

Tingin tingin ka jan? Hoy! That's the mother of my child! Mahiya ka naman sa anak ko!

He said in his mind while rolling his eyes.

When Sara's speech was over, agad din na lumapit ang lalaki  para kamayan ito at magpa picture.

And as usual, nakasunod na naman ang mga singkit na mata na ni Ferdinand.

Pero kahit asar na asar na si Bong, he decided to keep it cool just like what he promised her.

Busy pa din siya sa kakatingin when all of a sudden, may biglang lumapit sa kanya.

Another local candidate pero babae at halatang nagpapa cute sa kanya

Then the woman spoke

Oh Hi! Ikaw pala ang kapatid ni Gov Imee.. alam mo, I really wanted to go to Ilocos. Di pa kasi ako nakakapunta. If you have time maybe you can show me around?

Pacute na sabi nito habang hinihimas ang braso niya.

At dahil professional naman si Bong, he answered the woman.

Ay oo. I'm her younger brother. Sige pag nakadalaw ka sa Ilocos sabihan mo lang si Manang pasasamahan ka nun sa mga tauhan niya.

Nakangiting sabi ni Bong.

Pero agad na sumagot ang babae

Ay mga tauhan niya ba ang sasama. Gusto ko sana ikaw.

Kinikilig na sabi nito.

This time, Bong was sure that she was flirting.

For some reason, when the woman said that, napatingin si Bong kay Sara.

And there he saw Sara's sharp eyes looking at him.

Sa talas ng tingin nito, halos tagos hanggang kaluluwa ni Bong ang kaba.

Sa takot niya, bigla niyang hinila ang braso niya then immediately spoke.

I'm sorry madam hindi pwede. Napakaselosa po kasi ng love ko baka po masapak ako pag nakita tayo.

Tsaka bumabawi pa lang ako dun. Baka pag nagalit, hindi na ako pakasalan ulit.

Seryosong sabi niya sa babae and he also made sure na nilakasan niya talaga ng konti ang boses niya para marinig ni Sara.

Mahirap na baka topakin pa.

When Sara heard what Bong said, kinilig din talaga siya ng malala but she did her best ko keep a straight face as she continued talking to the people around her.

Nung finally tapos na ang campaign, nauna na si Bong to grab their rental car from the parking lot.

Pagkatapos, agad niyang inantay si Sara at Ella na makalabas ng venue.

When they were out agad na binuksan ni sara ang pinto sa likod at inayos ang car seat ni Ella bago siya umupo sa harap.

Nag galit galitan na din siya at hindi niya pinansin si Bong pagpasok.

When Bong noticed her expression, mas lalo pa itong kinabahan.

Then he whispered

Love galit ka ba? Siya kasi lumapit sa akin hindi naman ako. Tsaka ang layo nun sayo no! Wag ka na magalit please. Alam mo naman na ikaw lang ang mahal ko diba? Actually scratch that.

Hindi lang mahal.

Mahal na mahal grabe sobra sobra.

He said while smiling.

When Sara saw Bong's smile, napabungisngis na din siya then she whispered back.

Joke lang.. alam ko naman na mahal mo ako. Actually scratch that..

Mahal na mahal sobra sobra grabe.

Panggagaya niya kay Bong.

Just like that they started laughing.

At dahil nag bubulungan nga lang sila sa sasakyan, nagtaka ang witty nilang anak at napa comment.

What are guys laughing about? You two look crazy.

Tanong ni Ella na lalo pa nilang kinabungisngis.

Then Sara spoke.

Nothing anak. Just don't mind us. Tito Bong and I are really crazy.

Sabi ni Sara.

When she said that, biglang napa comment si Bong ng mahina.

In love. We're crazy in love anak.

He said while giggling kaya ayun!

Almost instantly, napalo tuloy agad ni Sara sa braso.

After that cute moment, Bong drove the three of them to their accommodation.
