"Kung mang-aakit ka, Pwede bang sa'kin ulit?" (Completed)

Chapter 12

"Sanaols!"

Pareho kaming manghang mangha sa lovelife ngayon ni maring Luca. Parang early birds lang silang dalawa ni Cameron, at kami naman ni Yeji ay mga kate birds na tatandang mag-isa. Tch. Kailan kaya ako ede-date ni Bry on his birthday. WAIT, KAILANGAN NGA PALA BIRTHDAY NIYA?

"Dito kaba matutulog?" Yeji asked.

I shook my head. "May dinner kami ni Xyon,"

"What?!"  she hissed.

"Gulat yarn?"

"Kailan pa? Akala ko pa cool na yun sa new york forever?" Inis niyang ani.

"Laki ng problema mo sa kapatid ko no? Move on na oi."

Si Xyon, Yung gago kung kapatid na pinagpustahan lang naman si Yeji nung college pa kami. Hindi niya alam na magkaibigan kami kaya grabe yung sorry niya saakin nun. It was just a bet pero kamuntikan na siyang ma ospital dahil sa sapak ni tinamo niya kay Yeji.

"Kumusta mga lalaki natin?" It was a sudden question from her but Im not surprised.

"Correction, Lalaki nalang. Pass sa 'mga',"

"Oh my gosh! So totoo nga!?" She shouted dramatically.

"Kung maka sigaw ha! Tulog na yung anak mo oi," Angil ko.

"Stick to one kana ngayon?" Lumapit siya sakin.

"Ano ba! Basta chismis lapit ka ng lapit saakin, Alis marites pweh pweh!" Bugaw ko.

"Wag kang lalapit saakin pag kailangan mo ng advices ha, Sasapakin talaga kita," galit na sabi niya at tinulak pa ako.

I rolled my eyes. Napaisip tuloy ako, Kailangan ko nga pala ng reasonable advice galing kay tandang Yeji.

"Yej..." tawag ko sa kanya.

"Oh?"

"Hindi ko alam kung anong nararamdaman ko ngayon, It was just an admiration before, But its getting deeper."

"See, At the end kailangan mo padin ng advice." She crossed her hand and sat to the adjacent seat beside me.

"Anong problema mo dun? Takot ka?" She asked me.

"Ewan ko, Siguro Oo. Takot akong mas lumalim pa. Yung tipong ibibigay ko na naman lahat tapos at the end wala din." Sabi ko.

"Are you afraid to fall inlove again?"

She knew all along. Bagay talaga sa kanya ang abogado.

"No. You know me, I am a risk-taker. Its just that..." I paused. "I'm afraid being the only one that falls. While the other one pretends."

She sighed heavily. "If its worth it the risk, Then risk, Xyra. It's more better than being engaged on a man you don't even know, Right?"

Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin. "Seryoso ng usapan natin tapos mag jo-joke ka? Baduy mo." Naiinis kung sabi.

Tumawa siya ng bahagya. "Totoo naman, Ah. Baka this time yung kapatid mo na yung magpilit sayo na magpakasal,"

"He won't. I know him." paninigurado ko. 

The reason why I couldn't stay on one place is because of this stupid marriage that my parents prepared when I was still a kid. Now that I am on my right age to get married, And I am the only daughter they have, They wanted me to marry someone who can help their business to expand more. And I don't want it! Hindi ako ganoon. I already did everything so they will let me live by my own, Wala na akong ginagalaw sa mga pera nila, But they still bring that stupid marriage till' now.
