Look in the eyes (Sandro Marcos)

#16

Sandro's pov:

6:35 pm.

I just have to wait a few hours and I will see her up close.

I can't rest here in my room. I've been walking here for a while now.

"Kuya... Kuya... Hey kuya!" I looked at the person who shout at me and I saw Vinny.

Nakapasok na pala sila ni Simon dito sa room ko ng hindi ko nararamdaman.

"What?" May inis na sabi ko at hindi parin mapakali.

"What's happening to you, kuya?" Simon asked.

Naupo silang dalawa sa couch ko.

"Is there a problem?" Simon asked again.

"Nothing..." I said pero alam ko naman na alam na nila that I have a problem.

"What is it?" Vinny asked. Mukang seryoso siya sa time na ito.

I look at them and I can see how their curious to what's going on with me.

"Uhmm..."

"What, kuya?" Vinny asked

"Woah, when did you started stammer your words HAHA" Simon said and I face palm at him

"So what is it kuya, hindi ako sanay na makita ka na parang sasabog na yung mundo"

"Okay I tell you guys but firstly don't laugh at me"

" Okay" they said to me at the same time and nodded their heads.

"Uhmm.. When I was in London, bago ako umuwi here, me and my friends hung out. While we're in the club someone caught my eyes."

" Woah... Am I hearing a confession right now? HAHAHA" akala ko seryoso na tong si Vinny pero hindi pala.

"I met a girl, I don't know her name because it was just a quick conversation. I was a bit drunk so I was able to flirt with her at that time."

"Ang landi mo" Simon said. I glare at him but he only laugh.

"I flirted with her and said that she might want me to be a part of her life and she said that... I should carry a gun if I want to be part of her life"

" HAHAHAHA astig mo naman pala kuya, grabe ang landi mo nga. Ang astig niya rin ah. Mukang nahanap mo na yung katapat mo" natatawa na sabi ni Vinny.

"Then, what's the problem?"

"The problem...ahhh yung eventa pupuntahan natin. Yung Natalia Zhavira Cardova..."

"Ohh anong meron dun sa heir ng mafia?"

"Siya yun..."

" Huh?" Sabay na sabi ni Simon at Vinny.

"Si Natalia Zhavira Cardova...yung babaeng nakausap at sinabi na I should carry a gun if I want to be part of her life" I said and it's like some ghost pass by because of the silence.

"You're joking right, kuya?" Vinny asked.

"I'm not. That's what my problem is. I don't know kung paano siya haharapin. I don't know if naaalala niya pa yung nangyaring panlalandi ko sa kaniya"

"I want to ask" Simon said

"Nagkakaganyan ka ba kasi nahihiya ka sa ginawa mo kaya hindi mo alam yung gagawin mo or you're being like that because you like her and yung first encounter niyo ay hindi maganda?"

Hindi ko alam kung paano sagutin yung tanong ni Simon sa akin.

What the hell is it that makes me like this?

Do I like her? Maybe, she's beautiful, brave, and there's something that make me like her.

Like? Do I like her? Or love her?

"Sandro, Simon, Vinny let's go, we're going. Baka malate pa tayo" biglang sumulpot si Mom kaya naman tumayo na kami at bumaba na.
