Yours Only(Tag-lish)

Chapter 19

“Please forgive me love” he said while trying to hold my hand pero mabilis ko itong iniwas.

“Stop what you are doing right now Mike. It's not funny” naiinis na saad ko.

My neighbors are watching us. Hindi ko rin naman sila masisi dahil napakaingay to think na magka dikit lang ang mga bahay dito.

“I'’m sorry love, please come back to me” he pleaded.

I roll my eyes then raise my brows.

What the heck!

“Look Mike. I totally forgot you now. Hindi na kita gusto. Alin ba dito ang hindi mo maintindihan ha? Maayos ang usapan natin Mike kaya umalis kana”

“Plea—

“Stop bugging her bro. You heard her right? Are you deaf or what?” my head lifted because of the voice that I heard.

I totally know that voice at tama nga ako.

It's Hardy and his flowers.

I was silent for a moment. Tanging sakanya lang ako nakatingin. He's totally different today.

He's wearing a suit while holding a bouquet of red roses on his right hand.

“Siya ba? Siya ba ang bago?” Mike said, more like whisper.

Si Hardy nga ba?

O

Si Hardy nga?

Ang gulo.

“What if he is?” saad ko na may paghahamon.

Hardy also looked at me habang ako nakatingin parin sakayan.

“Mira naman, I'm better than him” parang nagmamaktol na saad nito.

Awtomatikong napatingin ako kay Mike dahil sa sinabi niya.

“Do you hear yourself Mike? You? Better than him? Are you serious? Don't you ever compare him to you dahil kahit kailan hindi mo siya ka level dahil kahit ipag tabi pa kayong dalawa walang wala ka sakanya. In short, He's much better you.” I paused.

“Ayoko sanang makasakit sayo but seems like you asked for it kaya pasesnya na. If you don't want to heard anything that can hurt your ego you better leave dahil wala kang mapapala sakin Mike.”

Inis ko itong nilagpasan at hinila si Hardy sabay pumasok sa loob ng inuupahan ko.

Tahimik lang kami ng makapasok sa loob. Walang ni isa sa amin ang naglakas loob na magsalita.

He cough kaya napatingin ako sakanya. Umiwas ito ng tingin sakin at umupo sa kahoy na upuan. Ako naman ay kumuha ng baso at sinalinan ng tubig na nasa pitcher.

“I didn't mean to heard anything” he started.

Mabilis kong nilagok ang tubig na sinalin ko.

“It's okay. Hindi mo naman sinasadya.” I said at nag salin ulit ng tubig sa ibang baso at inabot sakanya.

“Drink this, wala akong ibang maibigay sayo.  Nagtitipid ako” I said and he accepted it.

“Thanks”

“About what you said earlier. Do you mean it?”

“Ang alin? Yong sinabi kong ikaw ang bago ko? O yung sinabi kong you are much better than him?”

“Both”

“Yeah. I mean it.”

“W-what do you mean?”
