Past or Present? (A Juan Karlos and Darren Fanfiction) [ON HOLD; EDITING]

Chapter 43: Friendzone?

Darren's POV

"You have a nice story." Jade said. We are still here at the park. Lying down the green blanket and looking at the beautiful stars.

"Yeah, I know that but it's kind of a... dramatic love story."

"But it's interesting though."

"Sabi mo e, I don't have a choice." I laughed.

"But... do you still have feelings for Tricia?" She suddenly asked.

Meron pa nga ba?

"Hindi ko alam. Pero I am sure that it already faded. Naalis na, nagbabye pa nga e." I said and laughed.

She laughed with me too. "Corny mo. Hahaha. But... kung sakaling may feelings ka pa for her, makikipagbalikan ka ba or what?"

Napaisip naman ako. Pwedeng oo, pwedeng hinde. Pero... ang alam ko sa sarili ko... hindi, hindi na.

"Hindi na, tsaka may bago na kong mahal." I said and after a minute... I am shocked with my statement. Ano nga ulit yung sinabi ko?

"Sino yun? Mabait ba?"

"Oo." Ikaw kaya yun.

"Talaga! Alam ba niya?"

"Hi...hindi e. Nahihiya kasi ako and besides, I'm close to her and ayokong masira yung friendship namen."

"Ow, ba't di mo sabihen? Wala namang masama kung aamin ka, para na rin malaman niya yung totoo mong feelings for her." She seriously said. E pano ko sasabihin sa'yo? Katabi na nga kita ngayon pero hindi ko pa rin masabi.

Ang torpe ko lang!

"Mahirap kasi at hindi pa kasi siya nakakamove on sa past boyfriend niya. Baka naman kasi mabigla. Gusto kong magwait para sa right time at right timing, baka bigla mafriendzone ako." I said then laughed.

"Oh pareho pala kami. Pero you should try, malay mo yun pala ang maging dahilan para makamove on siya." She said and smiled at me.

"Sige, susubukan ko. Baka nga bukas sabihin ko na e."

"Yan. Atleast hindi ka na torpe hahaha." She teased.

"Ay, grabe ah. Ang shaket." I pretended to be hurt. She just laughed.

I really love that laugh. Ang tawa na yun na... mas magiging dahilan kung bakit ako maiinlove sa kanya.

"Hahaha. Pero Darren, oras na. Uwi na tayo. Baka magalit si Papa."

"O sige, ligpitin muna natin 'to." We stood up and fixed our things.

"Halika na." I told her as we finished fixing our things.

•••

"Bye Darren, thanks sa picnic. Hahaha." She said then waved.

"Thanks din Jade, lalo na sa advice. Gagawin ko yun."

"Your welcome. Sure ka ah? Para mapanatag ka na and para na rin malaman niyang special siya para sayo." I just smiled. "And ang swerte nga pala nung girl." She added.

"Oo naman. Lalo naman ako. Swerte ako sa kanya 'pag nagkataon. Kasi she's super duper mabait." She chuckles.

"O sige na, napatagal tayo ng pag-uusap. Babye na! Bukas ulit!"
