Caught By Love

Wakas I

Here’s Gabriel’s point of view. : (

Marami pong salamat sa pagbabasa! : )

THAT day was a boring day for me. I have finished all of my tasks and other things and I want to go somewhere where I can spend my free time.

The garden and benches next our building were already occupied so I tried to go to the garden next to the senior high building.

Not just because I want to unwind.

There’s this senior high girl I secretly want to see.

I first met her few days ago.

Bakit ngayon ko lang siya nakita sa halos anim na taon kong pag-aaral dito? Or is it because I am too busy studying?

I sat quietly and looked at the entrance and exit of the building. Many students were coming out of the building, but I was just looking for that particular girl. The girl with a fierce expression.

I really don’t know what happened to me when I first saw her. She was with her friend at that time and she was laughing while running away from her friend.

“Itatapon ko ’tong bag mo! Bahala ka!”

“Maria kasi! Ayoko na! Leche ka! Kahingal!”

“Kiss mo muna pwet ko!”

I laughed when I suddenly remembered that. Pansin ko na lagi niyang itinatakbo ang bag ng kaibigan niya at isasabit sa sanga ng puno. Minsan, tinatakbuhan niya lang palabas ng gate.

I don’t know if I’m just crazy because this is the first time I’ve had a crush. She doesn’t know I exist, and she propably won’t notice me always looking at her full of admiration.

Lagi kong itinatanong sa sarili, ano ba ang mapapala ko rito?

But then, I feel like my stress and problems disappear every time I see her smiling. Ang ganda-ganda niya.

I’m sure if she becomes my girlfriend, my life won’t be boring. I smiled at that thought. I just hope it happens.

“MAY nag-away raw sa senior high building, a? Mga babaeng grade twelve. Kuwento lang din sa akin ng kaklase nila.”

I was walking in the middle of the hallway when I heard that. Napahinto tuloy ako at kunwaring tumambay sa tabi ng grupo ng mga nag-uusap.

“Sino-sino raw?”

“’Yong pinsan na naman ni Thylane. Sino pa ba ang mahilig sa sabungan sa building na ’yon?”

The next thing I heard was laughter, which made me clench my fist.

Iisa lang naman ang pinsan ng kilalang anak ng gobernadora rito na laman ng away madalas. That’s Veronica Alonzo Montehermoso.

It’s crazy na matagal na palang laman ng tsismis si Veronica pero ngayon ko lang nalalaman ang mga ito. I don’t like gossip or fights, but I am very interested to hear stories about her. Even some of it are bad.

I wanna know if she’s really bad.

“Mabuti pa nga ang mga anak ng gobernadora, matitino. Iyong isang ’yon, grabe ang ugali. Laban kung laban.”

“Mukha namang malandi si Veronica. I don’t like the attitude of that girl. Napaka-ano. And you know what? Nangungutang daw ’yon ng pera palagi sa pinsan niyang si Thylane tapos wala nang balikan. Kainis kaya ’yong ganoon.”

“Bakit ka pa magtataka? E, dukha ang isang ’yon. Dukha na makapal ang pagmumukha!”

I think that’s enough for me to walk away. Gusto kong sitahin ang mga first year college students na mga babae na nag-aaral ng kapareho ko ng kurso, pero pinili kong maglakad palayo.
