My Senior High First Love

XXII. Reciprocate (Mavie)

"Uhhhhhh" I have never slept this late for a long time. I suppose thinking about that hanggang dawn would get me headaches

"Ohh, anak come have brunch na. Your kuya and papa just went out to play tennis"

Then I sat on my chair facing Mama munching her prepared food.

Its Sunday today, kaya no classes and I got to wake later than usual.

"What do you want to do muna before we go to Church ba?."

"I don't know, we just had our hangout with tropa yesterday eh. So maybe tayo nalang muna"

Ever since then kasi na bati na kami ng Family. We do often have our Family day kung walang lakad.

"Huhhhhhhh" hikab ko

"Looks like you need to sleep pa ah. Did you not have a good sleep"

"May iniisip lang."

"Whats on your mind ba Jade anak" worried na tanong ni Mama

"School works lang ma"

"I know you anak, never once you make a face like that when you have school works issues. Just tell me iha. Maybe may lovelife ka na anak"

"Huh?! San galing yan ma?" "You knew me. I don't entertain such things Ma. Kahit pa tanungin mo pa friends ko"

"Okay anak, if you say so, pero kung ano man yang problema mo. Just remember na walang masama kung magiging honest ka sa feelings mo."

Hayyyyy, as the doctor says , we should be open to each other. So here goes..

"Its not that easy, I mean. What if it somehow change what we have now Ma? First of all we are friends. Pano kung friendship namin mawala?"

"Of course anak it may change anak, but often, change is good. It lets you go grow. I know you are afraid of hurting pero thats part of liking someone"

"What if its one-sided?"

"Then you stay friends. If what you said is true, if you really are both friends. Then it will pass" "And also anak, I'm not saying this para masaktan ka. But to let you grow. Ayoko lang nag itago mo yung feelings mo"

"Think it through ah"

"Oh hey there Hon, Oh Mav andyan na sila. You need to take a bath na. Alis na tayo maya maya. I think I we should go shopping"

"Oh, bunso. What are we having. Yum pancakes." Si kuya. Kakagaling lang nila sa tennis game.

So I just need to be honest ahhh, how do I do that,

Here we are sa Church. Kakatapos lang din ng mass.

"Dan, Hon. San mo pinark yung sasakyan.?"

"Doon lang" turo ni Papa, kaya umalis sila ni kuya para kunin ang sasakyan

Nahagit ng paningin ko si Ate Abby, and the bad thing pa eh nakita nya din ako.

"Heyy, hi MavieLee. You go here din ba?" Lumapit sya sakin.

Too early

"Ahh ehhh, hi Ate Abby"

"Ohh Abby iha. Ikaw pala. Are you alone ba?"

"Ahh no po. I'm with family. Yun po sila. Lumapit lang po ako para mag hi kay Mavie" ngumisi lang to sakin.

Hayyy, so Mavie tutunganga ka lang jan?

"You look pretty ahh. Di kita masyado nakikita naka dress" compliment namn ni Abby sakin

Gosh Ate, not now ayokong magmukhang kamatis infront nila Mama. Mahahalata nila.
