The Coldest Moon

Chapter 10

KATHERINE

Nagising ako mula sa mahimbing kong tulog nang maramdaman ko ang pagtama ng mataas na sikat ng araw sa aking mukha. Naniningkit ang mga matang bumangon ako sa pagkakahiga at ganun nalang rin ang pag tataka ko nang hindi ko makita ang isang tao sa tabi ko.

Where is she?

Mabilis kong inikot ng paningin ang paligid para hanapin siya. Umalis ako sa higaan at nagtungo palabas sa kwarto.

Nang makalabas ako ay agad akong sinalubong ng mabangong amoy na nanggagaling sa kusina.

Takang nag-lakad ako pagpunta kusina at natigilan ako nang makita ko si Miss Clemente na abala ngayon sa pag-luluto. She's wearing white long sleeve na hanggang legs niya yung haba habang naka maikling short siya. Nakataas rin yung buhok niya na medyo gulo gulo pa.

Pota! She's wearing my clothes.

Ilang beses akong napakurap at lumunok ng madiin dahil nag-init yung mukha ko nung bumaba yung paningin ko sa legs niya mala gatas ang kulay.

Ipinikit ko ng madiin yung mata ko at yumuko dahil sa kung anong pumasok sa isip ko.

Damn you Katherine!

Bakit ba ganito yung pinaparamdam niya sa'kin? Hindi naman ako ganito dati sa kaniya.

Habang nakikipag talo ako sa sarili ko ay napa angat ako ng tingin ng marinig ko ang mala anghel na boses ni Miss Clemente.

What if I told that I love you?
Would you tell me that you love me back?
What if I you told you that I miss you?
Would you tell me that you miss me back?
What if I told you that I need you?
Would you tell me that you need me, yeah?
If I tell you all my feelings
Would you believe me, yeah?

Daig ko pa ang naestatwa habang pinakikinggan ko ang mahinahong niyang boses .

Wait, she's in love?

"What if I told you that I la-la-la la-la-la-la-love you, yeah?
What if I told you that I la-la-la la-la-la-la-love you, yeah?
What if I told you that I need you?
Would you tell me that you need me, too?
What if I told you that I la-la-la la-la-la-la-love you?"

Hindi ko maiwasang mapangiti bigla dahil may pasaway-sayaw pa siyang nalalaman.

She's happily cooking while lowkey confessing her feelings to the stove.

I wish I told you that I loved you

Now it's too late, you have someone new
I hope he loves you like I do
Do you love the way he's treating you?

Habang tumatagal ay na-realize ko na may pinag huhugutan talaga siya.

He?

In love ba siya sa babae?

What if I told you that I loved you?
Would you tell me that you love me back?
If I told you that I miss you?
Would you tell me that you miss me back?
What if I told you that I need you?
Would you tell me that you need me, yeah?
If I tell you all my feelings
Would you believe me, yeah?

Napatakip ako sa bibig dahil ayokong maniwala na may gusto siya sa babae. That's impossible.

Someone asked her last year sa klase namin kung straight ba siya, then she said yes. And I know she hates gays.

What if I told you that I la-la-la la-la-la-la-love you, yeah?
What if I told you that I la-la-la la-la-la-la-love you, yeah?
What if I told you that I need you?
Would you tell me that you need me, too?
What if I told you that I love you?
