No Ordinary Love

Chapter 13

Marcus' POV

"Stop nagging!.. you sounded like your girlfriend.." Anne yelled.. first time nyang ginawa yun. we fight and we yell at each other but the anger.. iba ngayon kesa dati..

"Okay! okay! I am sorry! Ayoko lang na babastusin ka dahil sa suot mo!" Sabi ko and she sighed..We are strangers now..

"We barely even friends Marcus.. so stop acting like you cared.." nasaktan ako sa sabi nya..

"Isang pagkakamali lang Anne!! itatapon mo ang friendship natin?"  I asked her and i saw her wiping off her tears..

"It's not about my birthday Marcus. It's about what I told you.." Sabi nya refering to her confesson that night..

"I'm sorry I love you but not more than friends.." yumuko ako... pero kahit sa sarili ko di ako kumbinsidon.. she sighed again and unlocked the car..

"I know.. I know Marcus that's why I want the friendship to end.. para bawas sa sakit.. but do not worry.. I'll get over this 'infatuation' of mine.." She said and she get out from the car..

"Let's go.. andun na raw sila.." sabi nya habang sinesecure a lock ng kotse nya..

Kinawayan sya ni Jerome at hinila nya ang kamay ko.. though she's cold but my heart gave me a pat on the shoulder..

"Cho! Buti nakasama ka! I thought you have a date with your gf.." bati ni Jerom sabay tapik sa balikat ko..

"I cancelled it.. napakiusapan ako ng daddy ni Anne.. Nalasing kasi yung tatlo kaya walang sasama sa kanya.. You know her parent's is kinda strict.." I explained while staring at my bestfriend's beautiful eyes as she talk with Joyce..

"Order ka.. kahit ano.. treat ko.." sabi ni jerome habang tinawag ang waiter..

"No.. Thanks i will not be drinking.. ipagmamaneho ko pa kasi yan.." I said tapos bigla tumingin si Anne

"You can drink Marcus.. Remember I don't drink right? gusto ko lang lumabas kaya ako sumama.."

Oo nga naman she don't drink..I ordered 2 bottles of light beer... and as I stared at her.. Binabantayan oko sya kasi nakatingin lahat ng tao sa kanya

 What is this I'm feeling?. I felt something is missing..

"Hi Guys! Oh andito ka pala!" Bati ni Andrew sa akin.. At bigla nyang nilapitan si Marianne.. Masaya silang nag kukwentuhan samantalang ako.. eto nirereject ang mga tawag ni Jane.. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero yun muna ang gusto ko yung malayo muna sa nakakasakal naming relasyo.. She made me gaveup my bestfriend... after that she make a lot of demands,..

"I remember.. napaka boyish nya nung highschool.. and  was nerdy back then so lagi akong binu-bully.. then one day di sya nakatiis sa mga classmate namin.. ayun nakipag sapakan sya sa guy na nagbuhos ng Coke sa uniform ko.. at etong si Marcus to the rescue.. They are both suspended for a week for my sake.." Kwento ni Joyce.. Who will forget that day.. after detention, our parents scolded us and we run away and spend night on our secret place..

"Ano ba Joyce nakakahiya.." nag blush si Anne.. Is she really over me?

"But that's cute I mean, all girls sa school na pnasukan ko puro maarte.. bihira ang nerdy at boyish kagaya nyo.." Sabi ni Andrew na lalong kina blush ni Anne..

"See guys are looking for.. unique girls.. di yung maganda lang.. dapat may unique quality.." sabi ni Jerome sabay kindat kay Joyce..

"Ano ba hon.. stop being cheezy in front of them.." Namula si Joyce at natawa si Anne.. Mukhang masaya sya sa mga kaibigan nya ngayon..I felt weird.. I am jealous.. dati sa akin lang umiikot ang mundo nya..

"Bakit? Kahit tanong mo kay Marcus.. Totoong yun ang hanap namin.." aba dinamay pa ako ng mukhang pagong na ito.. Lumingon si Joyce at si Anne

"Oo tama sila..We are looking for not so ordinary girl.. yung something..may something special sa kanila." sabi ko at ngumiti ako na habang sinasabi ko ang mga salitang iyon si Anne ang nasa isip ko.. Wierd..

"Marcus.. I want to know about her more.." Sabi ni Andrew sa akin at si Marriane tumingin sa malayo...

"If that's okay with you.." sabi ni Andrew and nag smile ako..

"I know a lot about her.. but this is not a right place to talk about it.. baka mailang si Anne.." Sabi ko at ngumiti si Anne sa akin.. na parang nag thank you.. syempre ayokong i kwento yun.. ano sya bali.. childhood memories namin ng bestfriend ko yun..

"Okay.." sabi ni Andrew..

It's about pat 11 ng magdecide na kaming maghiwahiwalay.. Nakapag promise ako kay Tito Teddy na ihahatid ko si Anne before 12..

"Guys.. thanks ha! I'm so happy!" sabi niya habang nakikipag beso kay Joyce

"Anything for you.." sabi ni Joyce.. na napakabait sa aming dalawa siguro she treated us like her friend..

"I hope someday ako na maghahatid sayo pauwi.." biglang hirit ni mr. Nice guy..

"Pag comfortable na si daddy sayo.. sa mga panahon ngayon 4 boys lang ang pinagkakatiwalaan nun pag dating sa akin.." sabi ni Anne at ako naman si tanga pinanunood and lambingan nila.. Teka sila na ba?

"Ingat sa pag uwi.." sabi ni Anne andshe gave him a kiss on his dimples..

Ha? tama ba ang nakita ko?

"Nahihiya talaga ako at naistorbo kita.. baka magalit ang GF mo.." sabi nya habang nakangiti..Is she really over me now?

"Wala yun.."sabi ko habang hawak ang noo ko sa sakit ng ulo kakaisip bakit ang mga katangahan ko ay napairal ng wala sa oras..

.....

.....

.....

"Can i ask something?" pagbasag ko sa katahimikan naming dalawa..

"Sure.." she smiled.. part of me want's her to be like that..

"Are you and Andrew are dating? i mean BF mo na sya? but you can't answer it if you don't want to.." sabi ko at tumawa lang sya ng mahina

"Yes we are officially dating.. getting to know each other sort of.. but he's not my BF yet.." sabi nya at nag blush sya.. Kailangan ba talagang mag blush sya??

"Pwede naman Macoy di ba? Sorry.. You didn't care pala.." sabi nya..

"Don't start Anne..please.." I said kasi sa sumbatan mauuwi ang usapan namin..

.......

.......

.......

"About what I said nung birthday ko.. I'm sorry masyado lang siguro akong attached sayo.. we can still be friends siguro but not like before.." sabi nya habang dahan dahan nyang ipinapark ang kotse sa harap ng bahay nila..

"Sure..I want you back.. okay lang sa akin.." Sabi ko ad nag buntong hininga sya...

"Punta ka rito namimis ka na rin ni Manang Glo.." sabi nya at ngumiti sa akin..

"I Miss you too Anne.. ." Bulong ko sa sarili ko na hindi ko na kilala sa mga oras na yun..

"Oh.. Thanks ulit.." Sabi nya habang hinahatid ko sya sa front door nila..

"No problem.." Sabi ko sabay kamot sa batok..

"see you at school tomorrow..' she smiled and again..I'm lost..

What have you done to me.. Marriane Park?
