Naithan Gab's Point Of View

Though it didn't surprised me anymore when I saw Joy on the province with her family. Narinig kong mag-a-absent siya ng tatlong araw so I assumed that she'd go to the province to celebrate the fiesta.

"Can we talk?" I asked.

Nang umalis siya kanina ay sinundan ko siya ng palihim. Nagpaalam lang ako kina tita na iidlip muna kasi napagod ako masiyado sa byahe, but the truth was I want to talk to her.

"T-tungkol saan?" she asked coldly, though I can feel that she's nervous. Trying hard huh?

"About..." I trailed off. I wasn't sure if it's really a good decision to talk about it but I think it's also not a good thing to back off.

My eyes widened a bit when she replied "no." Did she already knew it? Damn!

"Why?" I asked despite of my fast hearbeat. Good thing that I didn't stutter in front of her. It's embarrassing for sure.

She sighed. "Tapos na 'yon. Napag-usapan na natin 'yon" she diverted her eyes on me and all I can feel is her heavy breaths, "ano pa bang gusto mo?" she asked with finality.

I wanted to back off, fuck it was a wrong move Naithan. A very wrong move. Maybe she wasn't on the mood, alright?

But I will continue this. I will win back her heart, I swear to God. There's no reason for backing off.

"Joy" it felt nostalgic upon calling her Joy. I already used to call her Ms. Alcantara nor Elaine so it's a bit weird for me though.

She answered me with a visible disgust on her voice. Mukhang naiinis na nga siya sa presensiya ko, but sorry Joy, I won't stop 'til I win you back again.

"Because you hate me? For some reason" I said. The pain was throbbing inside me, na alam kong tanging siya lang ang nakakapagparamdam sa akin ng ganito.

Umiwas siyang muli sa mga mata ko, it means she's guilty! Oh fuck, she still care for me, right? Fuck! My Joy still care for me.

"I don't hate you, okay? At saka lumayo ka nga!" I laughed when she shouted.

I came near her to tease her more. I could even feel how nervous she was.

And heaven! She blushed!

"Like this?" I asked with my husky voice, cornering her on the wall.

Mas lalo pa siyang naghurumintado. Pilit pa rin niya 'kong itinutulak pero dahil sa panghihina ay parang hinawakan niya lang ang dibdib ko.

Damn! I wanted to hug her tight as I can and kiss her on her lips!

But no, not now.

I stepped back. Nakita ko pang nakanguso na siya kaya natawa na lang ako. So she's really expecting me to kiss her, huh?

Pinag-krus ko ang aking dalawang braso sa dibdib ko at natatawang tumitig kay Joy. Nang mahimasmasan ay dumilat ito at halos humagalpak ako sa tawa nang makita ang kamatis nitong mukha.

Jesus! It's so goddamn priceless.

"T-tangina" she said, blushing.

I laughed.

"Why?" I asked. Acting inosent.

"W-wala" umiwas siya ng tingin.

Halos umutot na 'ko kakapigil ng tawa. I could even see the little Joy! Her expression was priceless, she's really pissed huh.

"Nakakainis ka!!" maya-maya'y sigaw niya habang binabato ako ng unan.

"What did I do?" Tanong ko habang todo ilag sa mga unan na ibinabato niya sa 'kin.
