Love At First Heard

PAGE 6

Few days ago, we need a mythology book and he told me through private message that he have this book, that we don't need to go outside because he have it.

After you sent me a book, my friend ask me to ask you where did you bought this mythology book.

"Since I was a kid, I always read books." He said, excitedly shows me all of his book. "Pakita ko sayo mga meron ako!"

I bite my tongue while looking the photos that he sent. There's so many books, all of them are about mythologies.

He's truly my ideal guy. I like reading books... so as he?

"Mahilig kasi ako magbasa ng mga libro." He explained. "That's why lagi ako nakakatulog sa school."

"Wow!" I whispered to myself and start typing jokingly. "Dasurb!" He just laughed and try to say something pero nag start na pala ang klase.

Another day...

"Maremmm!" I immediately replied to your message and said "Pooo?" But you replied to my message by calling my name again and I did the same thing.

"I just want to ask if this is right?" I examined your work and said that It was good. "Can I ask you a favor?"

"What is it?"

"Can you ask Diego for me? Papaalam sana ako if I can see his work. Dadagdagan ko lang?" I said yes and ask another member from our group. "What do you think about strength and weakness?"

I read his another work while smiling. He's totally genius!

"Wuhhh ganda, you're hired!" Nag react lang siya sa message ko saka niya ako muling kinausap tungkol sa subject namin.

"Gonna send this to you later, ayusin ko lang!"

Tulad ng sinabi niya, ilang minuto lang ay naayos niya na agad ang part niya at ipinakita nga ito sa akin. Pero sa kasamaang palad, wala akong load to see the file that he sent.

"Oh okay," He replied and send me a copy instead. He's being considerate right now.

I tried to check his work. I read it carefully  and analyze what he means by his work. I tell you, he's not an ordinary human but a genius human being!

"You're incredibly good!" I give him compliments and start to ask him, shamelessly. "Pero hindi ba mabait ka?" I ask and he typed "Yyy?" I bite my tongue to stop myself from making noise.

"Send load po," Agad siyang nag react ng haha sa message ko and then he replied and said that "Anong oras na Marem, nakahilata na ako!" I laugh.

"Ngayon lang nawala yung load ko!" Depensa ko pa sa sarili ko.

"You're unlucky, kanina sana." It's just a simple words, pero natigilan ako nang sunod-sunod pumasok sa isipan ko ang mga posibilidad na mangyari kung kanina pa ako nawalan ng load.

I wonder, makukuha ko kaya yung number niya kapag nag paload ako sa kaniya? Kapag binigay ko ba yung number ko sa kaniya, is there a chance na i-save niya yun sa contacts niya? Is there also a chance na tawagan niya ako or i-text? And If i-save niya nga sa contacts niya, anong name ang ilalagay niya for me? My name or other nicknames na naiisip niya about me?

What does it feel na makuha yung number niya? Gaano kataas na level ng kilig ang mararamdaman ko kung mangyayari nga yun? Paano kung nangyari lahat ng naiisip ko, can I consider him as my friend or more than that?

"Hindi ko kasalanan yun, yung sim ko kasi! Yung sim ko yun, hindi ako."

"Awayin mo Marem."

"Ayoko, baka signal ko naman mawala."

Now, he's supporting me for blaming my sim. He's like my supporting boyfriend, na kahit loka-loka yung girlfriend ay nasasabayan niya. But that will never happen. I'm just trying to imagine things that won't happen.

"Hayssst..."

It's Friday and It's already 4:15pm when you messages me, asking if there's something wrong about our power point presentation before we present it.

"No, there's nothing wrong about that. Hindi lang ayos ang form niya kasi sa ibang file mo siya inopen. Pero kung tatry mo siya buksan sa PPT then It will be fit." And he replied "Omki!" He's so cute!

"Kinakabahan ako," I can't stop but to tell him how nervous am I, dahil kami na ang susunod na group na mag rereport at sasagot sa tanong ng mga panelists.

"Kaya iyan, we shouldn't feel nervous sa mga bagay na hindi pa naman nangyayari. Kaya mamaya pa dapat tayo kabahan." Someone's gonna think that I'm crazy for smiling like an idiot right now. "Joke lang!"

Because of his comforting words and his sense of humor, I feel relieved and I'm not that nervous anymore. Possible pala yun? If someone special to you tried to cheer you, support you, you feel confident and don't feel nervous.

"Goodluck sa atin!" That's my last word bago kami sumunod sa naunang group. And we did it! Halos kami nga lang ang sumagot sa panelists dahil wala ang iba naming mga ka group.

Sadly, may isa kaming hindi nasagot na tanong from panelists. Buti na lang at mababait ang mga gurong nagtanong sa amin at tinuruan pa kami kung paano mag research ng mabuti.

After the presentation, you immediately message me and said that "Ayoko na pre, sakalin ko na lang yung sarili ko!" Hindi ko na napigilan at tuluyan na akong natawa matapos kong mabasa ang message niya. "Sorry about earlier!" He said.

"It's fine, it's just one question, don't feel guilty about that. Ikaw nga lang kakampi ko kanina sa pagsagot hahaha. Atleast tapos na tayo at may grade na!" I tried to cheer him up and I can say that It's effective. "Ayokong bumagsak, walang sasalo."

That's the time na naisip kong alamin if he's already in a relationship with someone. Nakahanap ako ng tyempo para tanungin siya noon ng hindi niya nahahalata ang totoong pakay ko.

"Sayo ba walang sasalo?" I asked, wondering if he's already taken. Hinintay ko talaga ang sagot niya hanggang sa masend niya na ito.

"Walang ganyanan masakit eh!"

I bite my lower lip, try to hide my smile pero nawala din yung ngiti kong yun nang ma-realized ko na there's someone, someone special to him. Kasi hindi naman siya masasaktan dahil sa wala lang.

So, he's inlove with someone?

And that someone will never be me...
