"Did my kuya Sashi make things hard for you after what happened?" I anxiously asked Eiji over the phone.
Alas siyete na ng gabi at nandito ako ngayon sa loob ng hotel room ko. Kanina pa ako naghihintay ng tawag nito sa aking cellphone. Ako na nga sana ang tatawag sa kaniya kung hindi lang niya ako naunahan.
"Your brother won't scare me anymore," he said, chuckling.
"What do you mean?"
"He's only like that because you are his sister. As a schoolmate and teammate on the team, he wasn't that scary. In fact, he is a dependable person and a teammate."
I wonder if Eiji was just saying these things for me not to feel bad for him.
"Are you sure about that? For me, as his sister, he is really scary," I said, pouting, remembering my brother's face whenever he's serious and about to scold me at something.
Eiji on the other line chuckled. "It wasn't his fault he got that type of facial feature."
"I know, but still..."
"People would always think they weren't your brothers if we just based it on your looks. You're beautiful, and they are... they looked wild."
Natigilan ako sa sinabi niya. "Hindi mo pa rin ba alam?"
"Ang alin?"
It took me a minute before I could even reply. I thought most people in our school knew about it, but it turned out that Eiji was not aware of it yet.
"I... I was adopted since I was a baby," I said as I closed my eyes, afraid of what would be his reaction to it.
Hindi rin ito kaagad nakapagsalita. Sa tingin ko ay okay lang 'yun dahil mukhang hindi pa ako handa kung sakaling magsabi itong ayaw niyang maging girlfriend ang isang ampon na katulad ko.
"It must be hard for you to say this thing to me, baby. But I really appreciate you for not keeping me in the dark. Hindi ibig sabihin na adopted ka ng parents mo ay malaking kabawasan na iyon sa buhay mo. I saw how your parents adore and care for you, so I can totally say that God made the right choice to put you in their care."
As soon as he started speaking, tears started to well up in my eyes, and before he was done, my face was already a complete mess from the tears that kept streaming from my eyes.
"T-Thank you," I softly muttered.
"Please don't cry now, as it's only urging me to go there and comfort you. I really want to hug you right now."
I chuckled at his remark. Hindi ko alam kung sinabi lang ba niya 'yun para patawanin ako o 'yun talaga ang nararamdaman niya ngayon.
"Don't do that. Baka mahuli ka ni kuya."
"Sabi ko nga sa'yo, hindi na ako takot sa kaniya. I will show him that I'm sincere with my feelings for you."
My heart skipped a beat after he said that. This guy doesn't really know what he does to me every time he says things like this.
"Don't make me fall hard for you." Parang naging bulong na nga lang 'yung paraan ng pagkakasabi ko sa kaniya nito.
"I would really love it if that really happened," he said before letting out a sigh.
Natigilan ako dun. Is he implying something?
Mahal na rin ba niya ako?
I didn't know how long it took me to actually respond to him, but I felt like I really needed to answer him.
Nagustuhan ko siya since middle school at lahat ng tungkol sa kaniya ay tinanggap ko. Kahit 'yung rumors na Playboy ito ay tinanggap ko.
If this isn't love, I have no idea what it would mean to really like him this intensely, despite all the bad things I already knew about him.
