HEY, MR. PERFECT

CHAPTER 21

SHANNAIAH POV

“We all have that one particular moment that would make us feel loved in this lifetime.”

SA totoo lang, medyo naiilang na ako ngayon ay no, I mean, ilang na ilang na talaga ako ngayon. Considering the eyes of the people that seems poring the deepest part of my soul.

Tapos idagdag mo pa na kaharap ko ngayon si Alas.

He keeps on staring at me na mas lalong nakapag-awkward sa atmosphere namin.

Ginawa ko ang lahat para lang ma distract siya.

Tumalikod ako sa kaniya.

I look sideways.

I hid my face through my palm

At nangulangot pa nga ako sa harap niya.

Ang akala ko na the dumber I'll act in front of him, disgust will begin to stir him at mas malaki ang chance that he will stop staring at me.

He rarely blinks while staring at me.

I sigh, “Hindi ka ba talaga titigil?” bulalas ko.

I am trying to keep my calm posture regardless of the fact that my heart is now bottled up with different emotions.

“How?” he respond.

I opened my mouth but no words are coming out. My brain couldn't articulate properly.

Anong sasabihin ko?

Silence began to penetrate our ambiance.

I sigh again, trying to chase my calm posture sapagkat nagsisimula ng mag-trigger ang tuhod ko.

Fudge.

My heart is beating so damn fast kasabay ang hindi ko maintindihan na quiver.

“I'm sorry if I can't take away my eyes on you.” he said, “I am so struck right now upon seeing my world, sitting in front of me.”

Anong pinagsasasabi niya?

“What do you mean?” confusion began to stir me.

He smirked, “I meant that.”

“Fudge.” bulalas ko dahil sa pinipilit kong itago ang kilig.

I literally felt like my cheeks are so damn burning right now.

“You're so gorgeous.” he complimented without breaking our eye contact.

Damn, anong sasabihin ko?

Required bang magsalita?

Ba't bigla na lang akong hindi makapag-isip ng matino?

“It's okay. It's fine for me if you don't talk. Just let me stare you.”

I gasped for air.

My goodness, I felt like my heart is literally shrinking in ultimate kilig.

“I can hear your heartbeat.” aniya na mas lalong nakapagpalakas sa kabog nang aking dibdib.

Gano'n nalang ba talaga kalakas ito?

I bit my lower lip.

I perceived that any moment from now, I'll literally burst.

I couldn't stay here any longer specially in a situation like this.

Without any hesitation, I excused myself.

I ran as fast as I could until I reached the parking lot.

“Aaaaah!” I shouted with all my might habang tumatalon-talon na parang palaka.
