Is It You?

Chapter 29

Alice’s POV

That mask! Bakit ganito?

*Lub dub.lub dub*

My heart is beating so fast.

“Don’t you remember me?” Gosh! Jo-Jonathan? Kaboses kasi. Hindi na lang muna ako umimik tumango lang.

“Hehe, 2 years I confessed but you didn’t know me, now I’m back I’m going to do it again” speechless ako.

“This is so gay” he chuckled “Alice don’t you recognize my voice?” your voice, yeah I recognize it the voice I will recognize even a thousand miles.

“Aish! Say something!” pagalit pa? tinitigan ko lang sya. Bigla nyang inalis yung mask and I was right.

“Jo-Jonathan is it you?” nakapagsalita din!

“Yeah it’s me, thank you” bigla nya akong niyakap.

“For what?”

“For waiting” napaluha ako.

“I love you ito lang yung time na nagkaroon ako ng confidence to confess” hinampas at pinagsusuntok ko yung chest nya.

“Tampo pa din ako sayo! Bakit ka ganan!! Ha?! Do you love me because you see Mio in me?” umalis ako sa yakap nya.

“No! I really do love you not because you are like Mio but I love you because you are you at bakit napasama dito si Mio?” ala, ahh

“Wa-wala” di ko na lang sinabi yung about sa cosplay thingy.

“Alice, you’re crying shh” niyakap na naman nya ako at hinaplos haplos yung buhok ko.

“Funny right? Yung taong mahal ko at yung taong hinihintay ko iisa lang pala. I’m so stupid for not realizing that.” Umiiyak pa din ako. Tears of joy?

“Ma-mahal? Mahal mo ako?” and this time tinulak ko sya pero mahina lang.

“MANHID KA TALAGA!! Kaya nga inaaway kita kapag kay Mio ang topic kasi nagseselos ako kahit wala akong karapatan, kaya nga the day na akala ko pa-Japan ka pinuntahan kita sa inyo kahit tampo ako sayo nun! Yun yun eh! Di mo pa nahalata!”

“Ako lang ba ang manhid? Ikaw din!” nagsigawan na kami. “Bakit ba laging damay si Mio?” tanong nya.

“Cause everyone is telling me that I’m just a replacement because I look like her and the way I act is totally like Mio” I confessed.

“Who told you that?”

“My classmates, when I acted as Mio, actually the exchange student program was fake.” Kahit ayaw kong ikwento yun, naiconfess ko pa rin para di sya maguluhan.

“Ano? Bakit?!”

“To know who you really love, but you confessed that you like her, in the mall” nagcross arms pa ako.

“Silly! I like Mio as a friend” tapos bigla syang tumawa.

“Anong nakakatawa?” pataray kong tanong.

“You’re jealous”

“Aminado naman ako ah! Nagseselos ako!”

“Di ka magdedeny?”

“Bahala ka nga dyan” nagwalk out ako.

 hinabol nya ako at hinila ang braso ko para mapaharap sa kanya then. Omo >//<

“I didn’t know where I got the strength to do that, but all I know is that I love you” nasa state of shock pa ako. Shemay!

“Let’s go Mai! We still have a party” hawak hawak nya ang kamay ko habang naglalakad kami. Napahawak yung free hand ko sa lips ko. I want to shout but I can’t itatago ko na lang to. KV!!! (Kilig vibes)
