Ideal
"Was there a reason why you don't like being in a relationship?" He asked when it was just the both of us. Our friends are minding their own business; playing some sort of a game while they keep on shouting.
Kung hindi ko nga lang sinabi na maghahanda ako ng pagkain namin ay hindi nila ako papaalisin sa grupo. Nang malaman nga na aayusin ko na ang pagkain at gusto pa nilang lahat tumulong. I declined and let them enjoy. Si Shone lang ang sumama sa akin dito sa kusina.
"It's just that... aren't we too young for that?" Huminto ako sa paglalagay ng brownies sa isang bowl at saka siya tinignan.
"We are never young for anything, Aera. Even if it's love." Malumanay niyang saad.
We are never too young yet we are restricted to do the things that adults wouldn't understand.
"But it always depends on the person. If you think that it is too early for you, then it is. Just... don't let the opportunity to enjoy the past."
I nodded because I agree. Before he came, I limits myself in some things. There are things that I stopped myself from doing because I think it is not proper for me.
The image that I have in mind for myself, I don't want to ruin it. It's supposed to stay like that but I will not be able to grow and enjoy if I will stay like that. Kaya nung nakilala ang lalaki ay unti-unti kong pinakawalan ang sarili sa pagkakakulong na kailanman ay hindi ko inaakalang gagawin.
I was content with what I had, what I am, and what I am supposed to be. But it was before. Now, I wanted to do things for myself, and not for anybody else.
"And, Aera. If you want to do things and explore, I'll be with you. Just tell me." Binigyan niya ako ng isang ngiti at sa kabila non ay ang nag-iisip niyang itsura. Probably thinking about our research. Besides, I cannot tell what he is thinking. Huhulaan ko na lang.
Nang matapos kaming magtimpla ng juice ay lumabas na rin kami sa kusina. Maingay pa rin sila. Wonyr was already sitting beside Seo. Kani-kanina pa nakarating.
"Since we are all here. Why don't we play truth or dare?"
"That's for the kids." Kontra ko kahit na nung bata ay hindi rin nakapaglaro non dahil sa takot na matanong kung sino ba ang crush ko. Wala naman kasi kaya hindi na ako sumasali.
"We are still a kid, Aera," Seo uttered.
Masyado yata kasi akong nag-iisip kaya minsan hindi ko na alam kung alin ba ang dapat na ginagawa. Minsan naguguluhan din ako. Are we supposed to be called kids or are we already an adult?
Sumang-ayon na silang lahat kay Seo kaya hindi na rin ako umalma. Madami akong restriction para sa sarili. Palaging bantay ang mga ginagawa ko pero pag ganoong may kumokontra sa akin ay wala rin naman akong ginagawa. I will just let the things flow. Sa totoo lang ay gusto ko rin namang sumali.
