Lady Red Dress (Past Series #1)

Chapter 30

"Hindi mo naman kailangan sagutin, rein."

I gave him a small smile. "I don't want to make you rely on nothing Sage, but thank you for being honest with me about your feelings." I said to him.

Ngumiti lang din siya sa akin at walang nababakas na pagka dismaya.

"Yeah, i just wanted to tell how I feel for you." He chuckled.

"Let me admire you," he cut his sentence. "Let me like you and admire you even you don't want. Let me do something." He added.

"You're courti—"i didn't finish.

"Yes." He said.

I'm speechless. . . I don't know what to said,. I can't find my words.

"Sage—"

"I told you, you don't need to respond that. Alam kong ayaw mo, hindi ako himihingi ng chances sayo. But in favor, let me admire you... Let me like you." He desperately said to me.

Hindi na ako nakasagot pa dahil doon. Umiwas nalang ako nang tingin. Tumingin ako sa phone ko at nakitang gumagabi na, nakita ko din ang ilang messages text ni Alas at ni kuya.

I sighed.

I put my phone back on my pocket. I stood up and look at him still sitting and looking at me. Ngumiti ako sa kanya at nilahad ang kamay ko.

"Do whatever you want but. . . I want you to know that you have a limit for that."

He smiled and hold my hand to stood himself. Pinagpagan niya ang sarili niya at ngumiti sa akin.

"I know," he said sofly then chuckled.

"Please, act like yourself Sage. Maging ikaw hindi ako komportable sa bagong kinikilos mo." Pag aamin ko dito.

"Yeah sorry for that." Hinawakan niya ang batok niya na para bang nahihiya siya.

"Cringe mo pag ganun." I added.

"Sayo lang naman nagiging ganon!"

"Di mo bagay."

"Kasi bagay tayo."

Joke time ba tayo dito kya?

"Bobo tao tayo, hindi bagay." Pambabara ko dito.

Umaray naman ito at naiiling nalang ako tumalikod para maka alis na dito.

"Ang sakit mo manakit ha!" He shouted at my back.

"I didn't hurt you physically, oa mo." I said while walking.

Naramdaman ko ang pag sunod niya. "You hurt me emotionally." Umaakting ito.

"Korny mo tara na nga anong oras na."

Now I'm here at my brother car inside. Binubungangaan niya na naman ako bakit daw kasi wala man lang ako ka reply reply sa kanya. Para siyang magulang ko na nagagalit dahil hindi nag rereplay sa chat/text.

"Sa'n ka ba galing ha? I've been calling and texting you. Tinawagan ko din ang iilang kaklase mo and they said that kanina ka pa umalis! Nauna ka pa daw sa kanila!" He look like loses himself while scolding me.

"Chill lan—" He cut me off.

"Anong chill?! I'm worried of you, Alas texting me that you didn't answering his call either."

"Yeah, where have you been?"

Muntik ko nang makalimutan, dalawa sila ngayong nag sundo sa akin. Si Alas ang nasa driver seat samantalang kaming dalawa ng kapatid ko ay nasa back seat at pinapagalitan ako.
