SHE

Chapter 2: Zelo

Ae ae's POV

Here we are in our balcony, eating my favorite lunch, Tempura Bento with wild raspberry red tea!!! Oishi!! 

Isn't that weird? I'm a Korean  but I like eating Japanese food? Hmm? Naaah! Can't a pretty and sweet girl like me have JUSTICE!!! pero maiba ako ha? Oh yes! of course! I speak tagalog! Like DUH? Opss hihihi may pagka-bitchy ako minsan ahhaha ..

So, yes I'm starving because of running all over the house with that silly cousin of mine trying to tickle me to death! But I noticed, she'd changed a lot since the last time I saw her .. maybe its because of her hair? Yes! her hair! she's looks like ....

Suddenly I felt blood rising burning my cheeks and I can hear my heart pounding, kamukha siya ni Zelo! my first ever love

FLASH BACK

"Ae! For you!" binigay niya ang isang daisy at biglang namula yung pisngi ko

"Kamsahamnida! Jung!" I smile widely kasi kinikilig ako! paano kasi ang sweet niya netong nakaraang araw

"Can I walk you home?" bigla niya sinabi sa akin, biglang nagkaroon ng katahimikan, what? hahatid niya ko? Eh may kotse siya meron din ako .. bakit kaya? 

We've been dating 2 years now, tinatago lang namin kasi nga bata pa kami .. were only 16 then but the feeling was so special that I never want to go away from him. Kailangan ko nga lang magtiis kasi ayaw pa ko payagan ni Appa magboyfriend :( 

"There's just something I need to tell you" He said with a serious tone, bigla ako kinabahan .. He was never serious lagi siyang nang-aasar, nagjojoke at nagpapatawa .. He's the reason why I smile everyday, the reason I want to wake up every morning. 

"Araso!" I smiled and hold his hand while we walked.

I was about to grab my phone to text our driver that I going home alone but he stopped me "I already called Sir Max" He gripped my hands slowly while looking at my eyes. I saw sadness in his eyes that tore my heart apart. There's something weird happening here I just can't tell what is it!

Silence build the place, all I can hear was my heart beat, I don't understand. He was not like that this morning .. maybe a little tired because of his training.

We stopped in a big tree in the center of the park, we sat in a bench and he throw a slow breathe in his mouth "Are you okay?" I hold his hand while looking at him

He suddenly throw my hand away that surprised me of his move. I slowly felt tension in my eyes..

"Ae, I mean Aezie .." he paused and breathe again "We have to break up.." he said and looked away .. I freezed and absorb the statement, was that a statement? command? request? question?

Whaaaat! I want to scream out my lungs to him, is he mad? he wants to break up? WHY!

"What are you saying? Are serious?!!" I tried hard to control my tears and calm my anger, I just can't take what is he trying to say.

"I'm leaving you Aezie, you will not see me again" I can't take it, too pain. Hindi kp maintindihan ito ba ang sinasabi nila na sakit na dulot ng pag-ibig? Kapag may saya may kakambal na sakit? I watch him closely, I saw sadness and grief from his brown eyes aching for me.

Those beautiful brown eyes I will not see again, ever again. Hindi ko namalayan umiiyak na pala ako hanggang sa punasan niya ang aking mga mata.

He slowly carressed my cheeks and look into my gaze. There was softness, as if he was trying to memorize every part of my face. He slowly leaned to me and kissed me. It was not just a kiss but a passionate one, full of happiness and love. He was giving all of his heart to that kiss. It was the most tasteful kiss I ever had in my life. My first and last kiss. We cuddled each other for an hour and we walked to our house.

"Yobo, saranghaeyo!" I whispered from his eyes. He let out another huge sigh and look into my eyes. "Forever, you will be" he pressed his fist in his chest as a symbol for his "heart" I will be forever in his heart. I felt my knees melting to the ground as he disappread from my sight.

END OF FLASH BACK

"Ae ae!!! Huy!!!" tinapik ako ni Myen myen haaay bumalik nanaman akon sa dreamland! Napahawak ako sa labi ko! Sumulpot nanaman si ... Aigooo!!! Aezie stop thinking of  Zelo!!! Sikat na sikat siya ngayon at wala! Wala kana para sa kanya!

"Nakadrugs kaba Ae ae? Sino ba iniisip mo?" nagising nanaman ako sa realidad, Aeziee! What the?! Sinubuan ako bigla ni Myen myen! Ugh, napalunok naman ako ng sinubo niya sakin.

"What are you doing Myen myen!?" I glared at her but she chuckled. Kaya sinubuan ko nalang din siya habang nakabukas ang bibig niya. Suddenly she choked out! Omigod! Nabulunan ata si Myen myen. Aezie what have you done!
"Myen myen I'm sorry! Wait here water!" I was panicking when I heard a loud laugh from her mouth. Tss she's crazy trying to make a fool of me again! Pissed from her silly jokes, tumayo ako at nag-walk out

"Hey! Ae ae, wait sorry na! Di mabiro?" Hinila niya ako sa kaniya, nagulat ako nang napatingin ako sa mukha niya. Blood rising from my cheeks again! Zelo! She really looks like zelo! "I'm getting curious about what's inside that beautiful head of yours Ae ae" namula ako dahil sa sinabi niya at sa mga mata niya na para bang tinitingnan ang kaluluwa ko. Giniit ko ang kamay ko sakanya at patuloy sa paglalakad palayo.

Kim's POV

Sarap talaga umuwi sa pilipinas namiss lahat, ang ingay,ang usok pati ang mga magnanakaw. Oo pati ang magnanakaw. Naglalakad ako kanina sa side walk habang naghahanap ng coffee shop nang biglang hinablot ng lalaki ang wallet ko sa likod bulsa ko. Ayun napaaway ako wala sa oras. Tagal ko din di nagamit ang taekwando moves ko! Bugbug tuloy si kuya sa warm up kicks ko. Hahahaha

Nang may nakita akong coffee shop may gulo nanaman. Ay pinas iba ka talaga! Papasok palang ako sa loob nang nabangga ako ng isang babaeng umiiyak. Napahawak ako sa balikat niya upang hindi kami matumba. Maputi siya at kulay brown ang buhok. Basa ang kanyang pilik mata dahil sa pag-iyak. Ano kaya nangyari sa kanya?

"Uhm, sorry!" Hikbi niya habang nakayuko bago pa ako magsalita dalidali siyang umalis na para bang may tinatakbuhan kaya nagkibit balikat nalang ako at pumasok na.

Nang naka-oder ako, umupo ako sa may gilid ng glass window. Gusto ko kasi nakikita ang mga pangyayari sa labas. Ibang-iba talaga ang pinas sa states. Kahit ganoon, namiss ko padin umuwi dito. Marami akong alaala dito na hindi ko makalimutan, mga alaala na naging parte ng pagkatao ko. Mga alaala na naghubog sa kung ano ako ngayon ...
