My Bad Boy : Montesalve brothers 1

Ten: Bubbles

Unedited. sorry for the long wait. Alvin at the multimedia.

Yvonne's POV

Dumbfounded.

Hurt.

Devastated.

Confused.

Hindi ko na ata maisa isa kung ano ang nararamdaman ko habang hawak hawak nang lalaking mahal ko ang isang braso ko at hila naman nang isang lalaking estrangherong nang 'angkin' sa akin.

What is he talking about?!

"Take that dirty hands of yours off my woman." rinig kong sabi niya at napalingon naman ako kay Alvin.

Sa mga ganitong scene, the guy would fight for his girl. Pero siya, kakaiba dahil nakangisi niya pang binitawan ang braso ko at hinilot pa iyon saglit.

Shit ka Yvonne. Ang haba nang buhok mo!

"I knew about you and your past relationship with her. And I barely know that even if I leave her with you, she'll still choose me. Why? Because she already moved on." Nakangisi niyang sabi.

I'll still choose him?
I've moved on?

Lies.

He looked at me trying to find an answer and I looked down. Ayokong titigan ang mga matang minsang kina-adikan kong titigan.

"Tell me he's lying my woman." He plead as he raised my chin causing my face to level his gaze. I can see his eyes begging for me to say yes.

But I won't.

"I'm inlove with him now." Sabi ko tsaka tinanggal ang kamay niya sa braso ko. He looked like he's so disappointed and in pain. I guess he is. Pero alam kong lilipas din yang sakit na yan. I knew that will make him stronger.

I knew I'm not his leading lady in his love story and I'm just one of his pasts that'll make him more brave and strong.

"So I guess that answered your question." Alvin suddenly interrupted and pulled me.

I didn't look back. I refrained myself from doing it. And I shouldn't look back.

I should move on.

Napabuntong hininga ako nang ma-realize kong kasama ko nanaman ang asungot na ito. Gusto ko siyang murahin dahil sa kanina pero gusto ko ding magpasalamat dahil nagkaroon ako nang dahilan para layuan siya.

I guess I gave him our closure right? And this is when our love story ends.

And I believe that one day... I'll have another book of my love story with the right man, in a right place and in the right moment.

Napatingin ako sa kamay naming nagkahawak. His hands are warm and I felt... comfortable. I felt like I'm in safe hands but I can't feel that tingling feeling.

Ang landi mo Yvonne.

I suddenly felt nothing. As in nothing at all.

Nothing. No love. No care. That kind of nothing.

I felt someone squeezed my hand and I looked at that person.

"Hey ugly. Stop frowning, it's disturbing in the eyes." He said and I make-faced.

"Ang yabang mong... maputing, chinitong... matangkad na.." Hindi pa ako tapos nang putulin niya ang sinasabi ko. "Done describing my handsome characteristics?"

"Peste." Bulong ko nalang.

Bigla niya akong hinilang patakbo at sa haba nang mga hita niya ay hingal na hingal na ako kakahabol sakaniya. Hindi pa siya nakuntento at halos mapatili ako nang buhatin niya ako nang pa-bridal style.

Tae tae tae tae. Kahihiyan ito

"Shit kang hilaw ka ibaba mo ako!" Nagpupumiglas ako ngunit nginisian niya lang ako at tsaka tumakbo.

Strange that I found myself laughing after he ran for I don't know how far, when earlier I met my 'ex' begging for my love.

Napadpad kami sa isang baseball field. Sobrang lawak dito at sa totoo lang at ngayon lang ako nakapasok sa ganitong lugar. I don't like footballs or baseballs or any sports related to balls, maliban sa volleyball.

Inilapag niya ako sa grass doon at napaupo naman ako. I frowned when I saw him smiling like an idiot at medyo nagulat pa ako nang pumalakpak siya.

Then suddenly, there was bubbles. Lots of bubbles. May malaki, may maliit. I was so mesmerized and shocked. It lookes so... amzing that I want to pop it one by one.

Feeling ko nabalik ako sa pagiging bata ko kung saan wala pa akong mabibigat na problema. Yung wala pa akong masyadong naiintindihan sa buhay. Nung hindi pa gaanong nag aaway sila mama at papa.

Nung hindi ko pa siya nakikilala.

I stood up and tried to reach for the bubbles. I jumped and ran and laughed, just playing with the bubbles. Until I got tired and laid at the grass again.

And there, I realized that I am smiling, sincerely.

Napatiunod ako nang may humawak sa kamay ko at ipinatong niya iyon sa may bandang dibdib niya. I felt his heart beat as I looked at him and he looked at me. We looked at each other and strange how we just laughed all of a sudden.

"I know what I did was wrong. Interrupting and lying, but I'm not going to say sorry because I wanted it to happen that way." Biglang sabi niya at tumitig lang kami sa madilim na langit. Hindi ko napansing gabi na pala.

"Moving on has no steps. Magigising ka na lang na pagod ka na, sobrang sakit na, tama na, kasi sawa ka na. Na pati sarili mo kakawaan mo na. Na maiisip mong 'Ah, I deserve someone better'. Na 'what happened gave me a lesson'. " Dagdag niya pa.

Then I felt like crying, but can't. Felt like shouting, but can't. Felt like cursing, but can't. Felt like moving on, but still... I can't.

"Love is not some math equations where it is complicated but every problem has steps for you to solve it and will find answers. Kasi sa love, kahit anong tanong mo sa sarili mo kung 'Bakit? Paano? Kailan? Sino?' Wala kang makukuhang sagot." Sabi niya. Napalingon ako sakaniya na nakatitig lang sa langit.

"I can't say that I love you, but I can be responsible for what I've done. Seryoso akong gusto kita. Seryoso ako sayo kaya sana, seryosohin mo din ako." He said and that made me guilty.

Okay fine. I was wrong. At first I really did take what he said as jokes. Pero masisisi niyo ba ako? He was a stranger. Until he became a friend.

"I'm ready to be your rebound as long as you like. And I'll take advantage for our 'relationship'. I'll make you fall and I'll catch you at the end."

Sa ganitong panahon. Siguro minahal ko na siya. Siguro nagustuhan ko na siya at kilig na kilig na ako sa pinagsasabi niya.

But then, only if He didn't became a part of my life.

Pero hindi ako nagsisisi. For the second time before my nanay Hena, someone loved me for who I am and for what I am. He made me realize that love is worth waiting for.

"I'll make you fall. I'll be waiting at the end of that cliff. But I just wish that you won't be at the wrong path of falling. Because if you do, then you may fall into other's arms, than mine."
