"I MISS YOU."

Mabilis kong ibinaba ang cellphone ko at pinigilan ngumiti. Huminga ako ng malalim bago ko kinuha ang cellphone ko ulit.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Nothing. Nabitawan ko lang 'yung cellphone ko," sagot ko.

He smirked. "Kinilig ka 'no?" pang-aasar niya. Sinimangutan ko siya na ikinatawa niya.

"Asa! Napagod lang talaga ako ngayong araw kaya mahina siguro 'yung grip ko sa phone ko," I scoffed then I stucked my tongue out.

"Okay, ma'am. Make sure you'll get enough sleep today. You deserve a good rest. Forget your problems for a while and enjoy."

"I will," I nodded.

"I'll end this. See you when you get back," he added.

"See you," I smiled at him before I dropped the call.

Binaon ko ulit ang mukha ko sa unan ko at hinampas-hampas 'yon sa sobrang kilig ko.

This should be illegal! He's making my heart beat faster and I think I'll pass out any minute now.

I've always thought na tatanda akong dalaga. I thought I would never experience how to like someone romantically. Crush, yes, I've had a few pero puro celebrity naman. Hindi pa ako nagkakaroon ng crush na hindi celebrity, or fictional character.

Books and movies raised my standard so much that it became so hard for me to like someone so easily. Tuwing may magugustuhan ako, palagi kong iniisip kung mamimeet ba niya ang standrads na sinet ko para sa isang lalaking gusto kong mapangasawa.

Let's admit it. Since fictional characters came from a writer's mind, we know how perfect they would come out. Stories came from a person's imagination—to make it real, to share with others what they are feeling when they imagined it, and to give lessons that could change or influence a person's perspective in life.

Siyempre, nasubukan ko na rin na mag-try ng dating apps. But none of them managed to capture my heart. That's why I gave up finding one.

Love comes at the right time naman.

But when Rush barged into my life, I never thought that he'll be the one to make me feel these things. He's the exact opposite of what I want. He's ruthless and moody, while I want a soft and sweet guy.

I went to sleep that night with a smile on my face. I wake up the next morning with a bright smile on my face. Hinanap ko kaagad ang cellphone ko sa tabi ko. Walang pag-aalinlangan akong nag-text kay Rush.


To: Rush

Good morning! Have a great day ahead!


From: Rush

Morning. Hope you had a nice rest.


Napabungisngis ako doon at hinablot ang tuwalya ko para maghanda ngayong araw. Pakanta-kanta pa ako na naliligo sa sobrang gaan ng pakiramdam ko. Pagkatapos ay inayos ko ang kwarto ko at nilagay ko sa labahan ang mga damit na sinuot ko kahapon.

Bumaba ako at napansin na kami na lang nila mommy ang nandirito ngayon pati ang dalawang kasambahay namin.

"Good morning, 'my," sambit ko at hinalikan siya sa pisngi. Lumapit ako kay daddy at niyakap siya mula sa likod. "Good morning din, 'dy!"
