Why Can't I Have You?

CHAPTER 2

Paris's P.O.V

'Soooooo, anong winish mo?' Calum asked.

'Ha? N-nothing important' sabi ko then looked away.

'Come on tell me!' Pangungulit niya.

You really want to know? It's you. I wished for you.

Wouldn't it be awkward if I'll tell him that? Syempre. Duh.

'Wala. Nakalimutan ko na.' Sabi ko nalang. He glared at me pero di na nagtanong ulit. Biglang natahimik.

Ano kayang magandang topic?

Sabihin ko kaya nararamdaman ko para sakanya? Or kaya tanungin ko ano siya ano ba talaga ko sakanya?

'Ca-calum'

Tumingin siya sakin. Those eyes...
'Yeah?'

'How are you and Franz?'

I can't. Di ko kaya gawin yun. Kaya ito nalang. Magkukunwari nalang ulit ako. Im used to it anyway.

He smiled. Wow. He's really in love. You can see it in his eyes. Pangalan pa lang yun. Hays.

'We're doing great! Grabe she's just wonderful. I'm so in love with her. She's amazing, I just love her so much.'

Ouch.

But I smiled.

'That's great!'

No. Not really. But i'll pretend that Im happy for you. I'll pretend that its okay, it doesn't hurt me at all. Not at all.

'How's the boys?' Pagiiba ko ng topic.

'Well, ash is really happy with his new girlfriend, Caithlyn. Michael's a little off kasi nag away sila ni Harriet and Luke? Ayun parang ako, Inlove na inlove din sa Girlfriend niya'

I laughed. Luke is really in love with Paulette, I can't blame him. She's the nicest person I've met! And Harriet, Michael's girlfriend she's always positive! That's why everybody likes her. Kapag kasama mo siya, bawal malungkot. Kelangan masaya kayo lahat.

Di ko pa namimeet ang Girlfriend ni Ashton. Buti naman nagkagf na yun. Ang tagal na kasing di naggaganun yun.

I feel like Im out of place, lahat may lovelife and here I am, pinapanood lang yung taong mahal ko na maging masaya sa piling ng iba.

I'm happy for him really. I just wish that I was the one who's making him that happy.

Mangyayari pa ba yun?
