Walang Forever: Ang Diary ng Bitter

Chapter Eleven: Mah-hal Kit-ah

-Angie's POV-

 

Isang linggo narin ang nakalipas mula nang gabing yun. Everything went normally. As in, normal class again. Of course, Drei's my classmate since I'm his student guide. I tried to help him in the different subjects. All subjects were easy to teach except Filipino.

Nagtataka nga ako na half-breed itong si Dei pero ang hirap maka-catch up ng Filipino words.

"Okay Drei, let's try. Say magandang umaga."

"Mah-gahn-dung uhm-a-gha. Geez, it's difficult."

"One more, Drei."

"It's really difficult but I'll try. It's good that you're my student guide."

"Why?"

"I'm inspired to learn."

"BOLERO."

"What does it mean?"

"I said you're handsome."

"I know right."

"KAPAL mo ha."

"What?!"

"I said you're cute."

"Thank you but don't flatter me. Anyways, how to say I love you in Tagalog."

"Mahal kita."

"Mah-hal kit-ah Angie."

Kahit pilipit ang dila ni Drei at bulol ang pagkakasabi ng mahal kita, eh pwede na.

In fact, that was the sweetest mahal kita na narinig ko for 17 years of my existence.

"Mahal din kita, Drei."
