confession

Ringgg—

tricia doesn't like it when someone calls her or when she's talking on the phone. it doesn't give her peace or what, she finds it annoying. tricia remain focused on her studies but someone kept calling her. and it was the nth time she kept hearing that ringtone of hers.

finally, she decided to answer the caller.

"hello?"

"wow. finally sumagot ka na rin."

"y/n?" it was you. "bakit ka ba tawag nang tawag? I told you nag-aaral ako." tricia said, completely annoyed.

"I know, I know. gusto lang kitang makausap saglit." you said on the other side of the line, tricia let out a huff. "what?"

"I know it sounds stupid..." you let out a loud sigh, making tricia worry. "hoy? may problema ka ba? hindi ka ba ulit makahinga? do you want me to go there?" lots of questions were asked, yet you remained silent.

"y/n?"

"t-tricia."

"gusto kita."

it was a moment of silence before one of you spoke. and it was you, "and I admit that I like you ever since we were 15. I like you. gusto talaga kita, I admit that those times I was talking about my crush... na ikaw yo'n. ikaw yung gusto ko. ikaw yung crush ko." you said, continuing. "I like you na kahit alam ko na ayaw mong may tumatawag sa'yo, tinatawagan pa rin kita, instead of texting you."

"I admit na I like—no, I mean love. I love hearing your voice."

"I know it's very random lalo na it's pretty late na rin at napatawag ako. gusto ko lang magsabi ngayon knowing you won't be having a time para puntahan ako tomorrow to confront me about it kasi busy ka. so I think this is the best time for it?" acting all tough through the phone, but on the other line, you were shaking and afraid that something might change with the things between you too.

"I won't mind if you don't feel the same way. gusto ko lang talagang magsabi. I can't keep it any longer na eh. I hope nothing changed." you said hoping for an answer.

"hello?"

you called out. but it turns out, tricia already hung up. it saddens you but you knew to yourself that it will happen. it did. you think.

a couple minutes passed, and you heard a knock. running to the door, opening with tricia holding a plastic bag with food. "tricia? anong ginagawa mo dito?!" of course, you're shocked but out of nowhere?

"gusto ko rin sabihin na gusto kita. gusto kita, y/n." tricia said under her breath, "kahit na you annoy me sometimes." following a tsk.

"ayoko ng may tumatawag sa'kin pero you're an exception," she said, smiling at you. she's so pretty when she smiles. you thought. "next time kung may sasabihin ka na ikakakaba ko. 'wag sa gabi. ginising ko pa si ate aiks para lang dito."

you laughed.

"inistorbo mo pa yung tao haha."

"sorry. I couldn't help it. I didn't know you would feel the same way. I like you too."

"did you even hear everything I've said?"

"yes. although I don't like someone calling me or talking on the phone, you admit that you still love hearing my voice," she said in a very small voice but you heard it. so in return, you turn away, avoiding eye contact with her. tricia giggled. "I like hearing your voice as well."

your face turned red. looking like a tomato. "nak nang pastillas oh. tumigil ka na nga. baka patulugin kita sa labas."

"hindi mo kaya. mahal mo ako eh."

"oks." giving her a thumbs up. "sabi mo eh." but deep down, you're feeling that kind of kilig na sa kaniya mo lang nararamdaman palagi. "oo na, inaamin ko na. epal. mahal kita."

tricia smiled, "I love you too."

while you smiled in victory, "I love you more, tricia."
