Meeting the one

Chapter 10

I cleared my throat and continue to sweep the ground as i felt him came closer to me...

"we need to talk." he said gently.

"about what?" lumingon ako sakanya ngayon.

"i-i'm sorry to what i just did to you lately."

He looked down and held my hand gently from the broom. what? he's apologizing for what he just did!? eh parang kanina sayang saya pa siya sa ginawa ah.

Pero naguguluhan talaga ako! bat niya ba yun ginawa? alam kong umamin na siya sa akin nung huling araw pero pwede ba yun? i mean hindi panga siya nanliligaw at hindi pa nasasagot pero nahalikan na niya ako at nahawakan pa! hays! so aggressive attorney.

I rolled my eyes at him and turned my back on him. tsee ka jan! ang gago! ngayon kolang pala na realize na ang dali dali kolang pala bumigay sakanya. nakakainis!

"why? are you mad?" he asked behind me.

"of course! I'm mad!" now i turned to him angry.

"why you did you do that anyway? we're not even in a relationship and even friends so tell me! why did you do that!" i burst out trembling to my own words.

He looked at me pleadingly and tried to hold my hand but i don't give him that privileged to hold it. instead i glare at him.

"i'm sorry baby I'm really really sorry. I'm just consumed by the jealousy I'm intensely feeling."

"pero kahit na! you're such an aggressive man! kapag gusto mo gusto mo. lahat ng gusto mo nakukuha mo! napaka unfair mo alam mo ba yun?" nanginginig kong utas.

He looked at me intensely the gentle and soft on his face is now gone.

"you really didn't know me well huh..." he said and come even closer to me now.
"if only i could get everything that i want..."

"but no. i terribly couldn't. cause that everything was like a star, couldn't reach and you can't do anything about it but just to admire that everything from a far..."

He held my hand gently and put it on his chest.

"baby didn't you sense it? the way how my heart beat so fast in front of you. you just didn't know but you're the center of this baby."

He looked at me tenderly while holding my hand that placed on his chest.

"and you're that everything I'll never ever be able to reach." he uttered and gulped looking at me tensed.

I don't believe him, if it's true then why he can't court me? he's just full of words but empty efforts!

"then why you can't court me?" i looked away ashamed of myself.

Tinignan ko siya dahil napansin kung hindi siya nagsasalita pero nang makita ko siya natameme lang siya sa harapan ko! sa subrang gulat niya muntik nang pasukan ng langaw ang bibig niya.

"what!?" hinigit ko ang kamay ko sa pagkakahawak niya at nagtagumpay naman ako dahil nanghina siya sa gulat.
But he pulled me again now he's just an inches distance from me.

"it's true tho? are you serious?" he said disbelief.

I smiled at his disbelief reaction.

"bakit? hindi kaba manliligaw? okay." i said and hold the broom again but he pull me again making me turned to him.

"so, you want me to court you huh." he smugly said.

Nag init ang aking pisngi sa kanyang sinabi, how dare he! baka nakakalimutan niyang ang dami kong manliligaw no! buti panga siya binigyan ko ng pagkakataon para manligaw sa akin.
