CHAPTER 8 – CRAZY
Good thing when I got home, I didn't see the face of James waiting in my door step. Maybe he's in hell already, sinunod ang sinabi ko.
"Marie, may nagpapabigay ng sulat sayo! Galing kay James, ewan ko dun anong nakita sayo at parang gusto ka!" abot ni Ian sa sulat sabay tawa ng nakakaloko. Loko talaga!
"Ang sama mo namang magsalita! Maganda din naman ako ah!" sabi ko at tinignan si Carla sa gilid ko, na nakaprub sign pa ng kamay.
"Basahin mo na dali!" tili ni Carla sabay yugyog ng balikat ko. I opened it, and a very short hand writing ang bumungad sakin.
Marie,
Is it possible that you can be mine?
J
At least he didn't write a chessy corney love letter. Tinignan ko si Carla at Ian na nakatingin din pala sa sulat, tinaasan ko sila ng kilay.
"Ang ikli naman ng sulat niya! nagtitipid ba siya ng tinta?" Carla asked.
"Di na kasi uso ang mahaba ngayon, direct to the point na hon!" inakbayan nito ang girlfriend at kinindatan. Sila na mag jowa!
I fold the letter and put it in my pocket. Inaya ko na silang umuwi, seven in the evening na din kasi.
Every day he gives me letters about asking if I can be his girlfriend. Di ko sinusulatan pabalik, hanggang sa nag aabot na ito ng chocolates at flowers. Personally asked me out on a date or a group date, and every time he asked I always declined.
It's not that I am choosy or what, naninigurado lang ako. Kasi kung sasagutin ko siya, he's my first boyfriend if ever.
College week, his band perform sa huling gabi. He's the drummer of the group, pero na surpresa ako ng nakipag swap ito sa vocalist nila, nag simula na itong kumanta. Nakaka hypnotized ang tinig at titig niya saakin.
'Cause every time I breathe I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby, I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love
Parang naiiyak akong nakatitig sa kanyang mga matang kumikislap na din sa luha. The sincerity is very evident.
Go on and pull me under
Cover me with dreams, yeah
Love me mouth to mouth now
You know I can't resist
'Cause you're the air I breathe
I closed my eyes; I can't seem to take the emotion he's showing to me. He stopped singing but he is still standing in the middle. Nagulat ako ng ang spot light ay lumipat sakin, pati lahat mga estudyante ay napatingin na rin kung saan ako nakatayo.
"Marie, many times you've rejected me, but still my love for you didn't waver a bit. I hope this time you can see my sincerity about my feelings towards you. Please? Can you be my girlfriend? Cause you're the air I breathed Marie..." madamdaming pahayag ni James.
I stared at him for a minute; the crowds are shouting "Sagutin na yan!'
Siguro di na masamang sumubok ako sa larangan ng pag-ibig. I smiled at him and mouthed "yes". He shouted "Whoah!" and the crowd's cheers for us.
Starting that night I feel loved by a man. A perfect boyfriend. May masaya at may naiinggit. Isang International model kasi siya, at nakadadag sa kasikatan niya ang pagbabanda. Kaya maraming babae din ang nasasabit sa pangalan niya. But he proved to me that it's not all true.
"Congratulations to us babe, Tomorrow is the big day for us!" James hugs and kisses me in the forehead and I smiled at him.
"Yes, balita ko may matatanggap kang special awards. Ikaw na talaga!" proud na sabi ko sabay kiss sa cheeks niya.
