"What?!"
Hinawakan niya ako sa mga balikat ko and look straight to my eyes. "Will you be my girlfriend? I know mabilis pero I like you. I even like you more after you said those words. Alam kong sweet at mabait ka talaga kahit ano pang sabihin ng ibang tao. I admire you for your strength ang straightness. Please?" He said not breaking our intense eye contact.
"Ang bilis talaga. Kagabi palang tayong nagkita ulit at wala pang isang araw tayong nagkakilala." I said and shook my head. I smiled inwardly.
I look at him. Tiningnan ko ang buhok niyang medyo messy. Ang eyebrows niyang makapal. Ang mata niyang nakatitig pa rin sa kin. I love his eyes. Para kang nilulunod ka nito sa kinatatayuan . Ang ilong niyang matangos na ang sarap pitikin. At sa mga labi niyang medyo mamula mula. Nagsisisgarilyo ito pero bakit hindi maitim ang lips nito? Ang sarap halikan. At masarap din naman talagang humalik ang mga labi nito. Napalunok ako. I brought my gaze to his eyes again. I smiled.
"Yes."
Unti unting lumaki ang mga mata nito. Parang hindi makapaniwala sa naging sagot ko.
"YES!" Sabi nito at tsaka he hug me tightly. He kisses my head and then break the hug.
"Thank you Ayeesa. You don't know how much you make me the happiest man right now." And then he kissed me on the lips. Just a smack. I hit him in the shoulder. Parang tanga to. Tsansing eh.
He laughed and I rolled my eyes at him. Soon, nakitawa na rin ako sa kanya.
Hinawakan niya ako sa pisngi. "Thank you, really, Ayeesa. I know mabilis, hindi na kita naligawan."
I cut him off by saying " Marunong ka pala nun?" And he just glared at me. He glared at me! What the! Bakit ang hot niya sa expression niyang yon? Shoot.
"Liligawan kita araw-araw." He said and then hug me again.
"Naniniwala naman ako na hindi sa tagal ng pagkakilala nasusukat ang totoong pagmamahal." I said. He just smiled at me. Totoo, I believed hindi naman talaga sa tagal ng panahon nasusukat ang pagmamahal. I like Karl, I do not love him, yet. Dadating tayo don.
At kung sasabihin ng iba, na hindi mo ito nakilala ng maayos at hindi magtatagal ang relasyon. Kasi ang belief ng iba, kung mabilis dumating mabilis ding mawawala. Pwede namang makilala mo ang tao habang may relasyon kayo. At kung hindi mo magustuhan ang flaws niya then you could just break things up.
I'm happy. The happiest girl. I know naman na mabilis talaga. Para na talaga akong easy to get girl nito but I can tell naman na he is serious with me. I know hindi niya pa ako mahal, ako din naman hindi ko pa siya mahal. We like each other. At least for me, he asked me to be his girlfriend. That's a point for him at naging batayan ko din na seryoso talaga siya sa akin. He didn't make me his kaMU and put agad a label on our relationship. Not like some guys na kung alam na nila yung feelings nung babae, MU na sila. They act like what gf,bf is doing. And in the end when the girl fell hard to the guy, and guy is nagsawa na, iiwan nalang nila bigla yung girl without the explanation and say na hindi naging sila so walang karapatan ang girl. They left their girl hanging and broken. Assuming na sila nung guy. Siyempre hindi naman natin maiwasan na mag assume. That's just us. At least Karl gave me a right na maging akin siya. Akin talaga. Shoot kenekeleg eke.
"Boyfriend, gusto ko nang kumain ng ice cream. Let's go?" I said smiling widely.
Tumawa ito. "Okay let's go, girlfriend."
Nag make face ako at naglakad na. Tumatawa naman ito habang naka holding hands kaming naglalakad para bumili nang ice cream.
Shit, ang gandang pakinggan nung tinawag niya akong girlfriend.
