Against the wild fire (Castillo series #3)

Chapet 14: Binibini

I was not able to answer. Sa totoo lang hindi ko alam kung paano ko sasagutin iyon dahil una sa lahat hindi naman 'yon tanong, pangalawa, parang lumusot sa esophagus ang dila ko sa gulat.

I was scared. This is what I fear for. I am not ready for this! To commit to someone... that I'm starting to like. Commitment huh? Ayaw ko  ng ganito.

It was pure fun and games at the start, I really do not know that I am going into deep shit for him, because of him. Or ako ba talaga ang may kasalanan?

"Daniella? Zandro?"

My eyes widened, the sight of us looking like this close are not a good sight. Kaya mabilis pa kay flash kong tinulak ang dibdib nito palayo sa akin.

"M..mom!" swear I almost gave a huge sigh of relief for interrupting us. Muntik na akong mapasigaw ng salamat sas pagsabat! dahil di ko talaga alam kung paano makakatakas kay Zandro.

She was there watching us like a hawk, standing in front of the gate.

Lumunok ako at ngumisi ng hilaw dahil may pagkajudger nanaman ang tingin ng nanay ko sa akin. Ha! Anong tingin niya sa'kin cheap?! At sa daan ko pa lalandiin 'tong lalaking 'to?

"Anong oras na? Bakit ngayon ka lang? At bakit nasa labas kayo ni Alexandro at di kayo pumasok sa loob?" unang banat ng nanay ko.

Gosh! Eto nanaman tayo!

I rolled my eyes at mabilis na naglakad palapit rito.

"Ugh, tara na sa loob mommy, uuwi na din 'yan si Zandro. H..hinatid lang niya ako dito."

"Teka, huwag ka ngang bastos Daniella, you'll just shoo him away like that?"

Yes! I need to 'shoo' him away like that! Gahhdddd.

"Zandro iho, thank you for always driving my daughter home safe and sound. Ngayon lang tayo nagkita ulit, I was busy with a huge case this time.. would you like to come in and drink some coffee before you go?"

Nanlaki ang mata ko, I was about to protest, I look at Zandro with glaring wide eyes, warning him to say "No". Ngumuso ito, a ghost of smile is playing on his lips as if he finds this so amusing.

"I think it's late already I better go home na po..."

"I'm serious iho, have coffee first." may diin ang pagkabigkas ng mga salita sa bibig ng nanay ko. Kumunot ang noo ko sas tono nitong sobrang seryoso.

I glanced at him, his reaction must be the same as mine, his eyes became serious with his thick eyebrows furrowed.

Nauna akong pumasok sa bahay at padabog na umakyat sa hagdanan. Ha! Coffee coffee pang alam! Kailan pa natutong magalok ng kape ng ganitong oras ang nanay ko? Eh 3 in 1 ngalang kaya niyang itimpla magaalok pa nga.

I decided to just be in my room and sleep, I don't want to be with him anymore. This day I got to see him so often na nagsawa na ako sa pagmumukha niya. Aside from that, I have no face to show him and I really don't have an answer to the last words he said to me.

Gusto ba niya ako? Is the feeling mutual between us? Nakuha ko nang makaligo at lahat, iyon pa din ang nasa isip ko. Nakauwi na kaya siya?

I do not know how many times the scene where he asked me to date me for real played in my mind. I bit my lip as I stared at the ceiling, gusto ko siya oo, but I don't like being committed to someone. It's not my cup of tea. It scares me.

Because I know feelings is not constant, nothing in this world is constant. Change will come along the way, this won't lasts, we won't lasts so why risk?
