Stolen Love

Part - 7

Rodrigo's POV:

As the wind blows, the sound of the waves hitting the rocks, i breathe deeply.. feeling little jittery when my conscience has driven me to do what i'm about to do.

" I'm not joking Imee, i want to enjoy this moment with you. Only you, Imee."
I can feel my heart racing harder while confessing, My heart continues to pound when she look at me with her magical quality eyes.

" Don't you ever joke at me like that Rodrigo" She seemed suprised. She chuckled and drunk the wine without hesitation.

" Loko ka, ihulog kita jan sa dagat eh" Natatawa nyang sabi habang hinahawi ang buhok nya.

"Bat pulang pula ka? " I joked.

"What? di kaya, i'm a bit tipsy na siguro" She is fanning herself with her hand. haha cute naman nitong babaeng to, ang ginaw ginaw ginawa ba namang paypay ang kamay hahah.

I gaze at her while she's smiling at me, her lovely curly hair, the gleaming pearls in her eyes,the lips with a rosy pink colour and her cheeks as red as rose, One of a kind.

Hinawakan ko yung kamay nya, hindi naman nya binawi, i just looked at her eyes.. This is it, wala ng atrasan to. *potangina pinagpapawisan yung kamay ko, di naman sana to bago sakin yawa*

" I hope this does not sound so creepy, Imee" She laugh and pat my hand slightly.

" Bitaw tinuod nani, I'm not best at putting words, but i just want to try nonetheless because i really really like you, Imee. I've been struggling with uneasy feeling for a long time, trust me i have tried very hard to hide my true feeling from you, but its really futile, Imee. Thing is, i love you since we first became good friends, Pero hindi ko inamin, mas pinangungunahan ako ng what if non imee, kinsa lang man ko diba? (sino ba naman ako diba?) Pobre raman intawon ko ( mahirap lang naman ako) i feel like you don't deserve me, at alam ko kayo po non ni tommy, kaya nung feeling ko wala talaga akong pag asa sayo, i went back to davao and continue serving davaoeños, and when i heard na naghiwalay kayo ni tommy, gustong gusto kita puntahan non, gusto kitang kumustahin, but i guess it's too late, May asawa na din ako, But tonight.. * I stood up, hinahawakan ko padin ang kamay nya, inalalayan ko sya na tumayo, she was just looking at me, i grab her waist(tangina nanginginig ako)* Imee, I really had a wonderful time being friends with you, it takes me a long time to summon the confidence to tell you, i know we've been good friends, but.. i wan't to be more than that Imee."

Nakita ko sa mga mata nya ang kaba.
" Rod... i don't know what to say, i'm sorry hindi pa nag sisink in sa akin, Are you drunk??"

"No i'm not." I was laughing while hindi ko padin binibitawan ang pagtingin sa kanyang mga mata.

" Myghad, i don't know how to say, there's so many question in my head but i can't construct good words, and i don't know how to begin rod, what about your wife? rod what about honeylet?" She scratched her head. Haha ka cute man ani niya oy!

I just kissed her forehead.
" It's okay, no pressure at all, Imee. Haha, Can i have a hug atleast?" Lumapit naman sya sa akin and give me a warm hug. *Hug palang parang nawala na lahat ng kaba at pagod ko*

After nyang bumitaw sa pagyakap ko sa kanya, sinuntok nya ako sa dibdib hindi naman ganon kasakit haha.
" What was that?" Natatawa kong tanong.
" Ikaw eh!! Ano ba rod " May nangigilid na luha sa kanyang mga mata.

" Anong ako, Imee?" pinunasan ko naman ang mga luha niya. Ano ba to? Lasing na ba to sya? haha.

" Naiiyak ako rod, hindi ko alam anong sasabihin sayo" She grabbed the wine and the wine glass at pour a wine on her glass, punong puno and with no hesitation, nilagok nya lahat hanggang sa maubos. Kinuha ko naman ang wineglass sa kanya kasi napaparami na ata sya.

Pumunta naman sya sa may couch, sinundan ko sya para kunin yung glass
" Enough na siguro, Imee lasing ka na ata. sige ka may flight ka pa bukas" i try to joke her para naman maibsan konti kung anong nararamdaman nya ngayon.

She looked at me, hindi sya nag sasalita, we were just looking at each other a little too long. While i was standing in front of her, she grabbed my hand and kissed it. tumingin ulit sya sa akin.

"Rod natatakot ako" she's about to cry, Nakita ko sa kanyang mga mata ang takot  dali dali naman akong lumuhod para magpantay kami.

I hugged her tightly. " I'm sorry Imee, I don't want you to put in a difficult situation, It's okay...i'm not expecting you to say anything back, its okay if you can't reciprocate your feelings, its okay imee.. i just want you to know what i really feel towards you, shhhhhh imee stop crying na, we can talk tommorow when your sober na" I wiped her tears.

" No, no...i'm not drunk rod, im just tipsy." Inayos nya naman ang buhok nya, tiningnan nya naman ako ulit.

" I really do appreciate your actions towards me Rod, but please can you give me time to para mag sink in lahat to?" she hold again my hand.

"Nakikipaghiwalay ka na ba sa akin?" I was trying to joke and relieve tension.

"Sira! Hahaha, di ka panga nanliligaw" She laughed.

" Ha? kailangan ko pa palang manligaw? Ang akin ay akin, at ang hindi akin ay magiging akin, Imee. Tandaan mo yan" I winked at her.
pinalo nya naman ako habang natatawa.

"Napaka mo talaga rodrigo, wan ko sayo!!! " she was laughing so hard. Kanina lang iyak ng iyak to ngayon naman tawa ng tawa. Iba talaga siguro pag inlove no? Murag buang haha joke.

"Seriously, Imee.. I would do anything to keep you, Be ready, pag nanalo ako wala ng atrasan to. I'm not joking, My first lady" I was looking at her eyes jokingly seduce her.

" Don't look at me like that, Rodrigo! para kang manyakis na kaka labas lang sa kulungan hahaah" she burst out laughing.

" Ah talagaaaa josefa??" i was about to grab her para kilitiin pero ayun ang bilis naka takbo.

"Come here, Lolo digong!!" Sigaw nya habang tumatawa.

"Grabe ka sa akoa Imee ha!" Pinuntahan ko naman sya malapit sa dagat, I grabbed her waist. " Talaga? Lolo? You should see what can i do" i whispered on her ears.

"Yuck! tara na nga rod! corny mo! " She pinched my nose at nauna naglakad ng pagewang gewang habang tumatawa

I scratched my head and followed her,
As i watch her walking i realize that i never loved her anymore than i do, right this second. I don't want to lose her. korni man paminawon, pero..I'm the luckiest person alive.
