Falling for the Criminal

Chapter 40: Someday

Author's Note ♡

Hi, everyone! This is the last chapter of Falling for the Criminal and if you're reading this, thank you so much for making it up to here. This is actually the first time I wrote a story with this kind of genre and I'm so glad that I'm able to reach this chapter. However, this story contains a lot of flaw as I wrote in an impromptu way, but I assure you that I'll definitely find time to edit it.

Sana nagustuhan niyo 'to. And sobrang salamat sa support. Mahal ko kayong lahat. ♡♡♡

He's here in front of me and we're staring at each other's eyes. Hindi na panaginip kundi totoo. Damn, I already dreamed of it many times, and I already have a script in my mind containing what I should say to him once we meet again. Pero pakiramdam ko ay nablangko na ako, hindi ko na mahagilap ang mga salitang iyon sa utak ko.

Nanatili akong tulala habang nakatingin sa kanya.

"W-we met again," he uttered and his eyes glistened.

Fuck, I missed him so much.

"Y-yeah," I awkwardly answered. "W-what a coincidence?!"

Tangina, gusto ko na siyang yakapin, pero bigla akong tumiklop. Paano kung taken na?

Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero sabay kaming ngumiti sa isa't isa.

"It's been a long time. Nice to see you again." Nakangiti niyang sabi, his eyes never leaving my face.

"Me too, it's nice seeing you again." I replied.

It's damn awkward for me at mukhang siya ay gano'n din. Someone from the back pushed again which made our skin touched again, I felt a spark because of that kaya agad akong napalayo nang bahagya at tumingin nalang sa mini stage. He did the same.

Beads of sweat formed on my forehead kahit na ang lamig lamig ng panahon, ramdam ko rin ang pag-init ng mukha ko, at panginginig ng katawan. And my heartbeat, of course, they've gone crazy already.

Wala nang nagsalita sa aming dalawa. We just silently stood there and listened to the band playing, but damn, I couldn't pay attention properly to the song anymore. He already occupied my mind.

Fate really moves in unexpected ways at ngayon pa talaga kami nagkitang muli? Ngayong wala akong kaayos-ayos sa sarili.

I closed my eyes when embarrassment crept into my system. Nakakainis, but damn, my heart is leaping in joy.

When the concert ended ay hindi ko na matukoy kung ano ang susunod kong gagawin. Should I talk to him? Anong sasabihin ko? Hindi ko na alam, tila nakalimutan ko na lahat! I feel so dumb.

"Uhm, are you..."

Natataranta akong lumingon no'ng marinig siya sa likod ko. Naabutan ko siyang nakatingin sa akin, he then licked his lip and scratched the back of his head.

"Hmm?"

He sighed. "Are you going somewhere after this?" He asked.

I averted my gaze. What is this? Gusto niya bang mag-usap kami...

I couldn't prevent my lips from curving into a small smile.

"I'm going to Disneyland." I answered.

He nodded. "Uh, are you with someone?" He asked again and averted his gaze.

I bit my lip. "Wala, ako lang."

He smiled, the cold wind blew, and he fixed his hair that the wind messed up. Hell, he looked so fucking good, aging like a fine wine.
