Chapter 4: Kahihiyan at kasiyahan

Seth Alexander's POV

Two weeks had passed, wala naman gaanong nangyayare. Si Sam as usual, busy regarding academics. Ako? Tambay, aral, lakwatcha, minsan pumupunta ako sa Zennith baka kasi kumanta ulit sya gusto kong marinig boses nya. Kaso iba na yung babaeng kumakanta, maganda din, pero iba parin sya, ibang-iba. Alam nyo bang sa two weeks na classmate ko sya ni hindi ko man lang natanong ang pangalan nya? Hindi rin sya tinatawag sa klase, hindi sya gaanong nagsasalita, lagi lang syang nkasubsob sa phone nya. Kung my kakwentuhan man sya, yun lang bestfriend nya. Sinubukan ko syang kausapin after ng 1st week.... about... you know?that night... but she doesn't know anything about it. She wasn't even there that night.

(flashback)

Last week...

She was sitting on the floor when I came in, masyado ata akong maaga pumasok? napakawierd nyang babae, nandun sya sa dulo ng room, nakasandal sa wall ang ulo, nakatingala at nakapikit. I sat beside her, she didn't move maybe she didn't hear me coming?

"morning" I greeted her

"hmmmmmmm?" then she opened her eyes and looked at me.

"you remember me, don't you?" I asked, kinapalan ko na mukha ko

"yeah, Seth D. we're classmates" Seth D.? wow ah, close ba kami?binibinyagan ako eh.

"ahm. yeah we are, but that's not what I'm talking about" she just looked at me, she's like a doll. Pretty but emotionless. "that night, summer.. at the park.. the kiss?" I said, I don't care if I'm being too forward. I just needed to get this thing over with. I want to tell her that she can forget about that night, that she doesn't have to avoid me. Para naman di na rin ako makonsensya.

"kiss?" she looks as if she's trying to hide her laughter. wtf is happening here?

"yeah at the park. After you sang at Zennith. You know... you don't have to avoid me, we can forget about what happened.. Besides, magkaklase tayo pangit naman kung my awkwardness sa pagitan natin diba?" now she's laughing at me, ano bang nangyayari sa babaeng to? May nakakatawa ba sa sinabi ko?

"HAHAHA ehem! ehem! I'm sorry.HAHA this is so funny, you must be referring to my twin sister"

"twin sister?" I can't believe this! argh this is so embarrassing!

"yhup.. she has a band, she sings alot. I mean she performs every now and then. Maybe she's the girl you're talking about, coz I'm pretty sure we haven't kissed yet haha.."

"oh... I see" I'm speechless. Then she stopped laughing, and stood up.

"you know what? If that kiss with a random girl happened a long time ago, you should not make a big deal out of it. If it's your guilt that had you confessing to me, I advice you not to think about that anymore. Unless that kiss meant something to you.." biglang may mga pumasok nang ibang mga classmates namin, kaya pumunta na sya sa seat nya. Napaisip ako sa sinabi nya, did that kiss really meant something to me?

(end of flashback)

Nagddrive ako ngayon, iniisip ko na naman yung kahihiyang inabot ko nung naglakas-loob akong kausapin sya. Akalain mo yun, may kambal daw sya. Ang hirap paniwalaan, pero wala naman syang dahilan para magsinungaling diba? Bakit ko nga naman pa kasi iniisip yung kiss na yun eh matagal na nga namang nangyari. Ang dapat na isipin ko eh yung sa amin ni Sam. Kaya eto ako ngayon, papunta ng bahay nila.. Saturday ngayon kaya lalabas kami hehe. Kailangan nyang bukawi sa napakagwapo nyang boyfriend, aba! di ko pa nasusulit yung dalawang buwan na wala sya, wala akong nayayakap, nahahalikan tska nauutusang imassage ang ulo ko. I stopped right outside their house. Eto na sya, ang cute nya hehe. Nakajeans lang sya tpos pink na shirt, ang adik talaga sa pink. "hi" she greeted me. "taas ng energy natin ah" sagot ko. "haha syempre, kaw kasama ko eh" si Sam talaga.. Inangkas ko na sya sa motor. "ehem! Sam, motorsiklo ka ba?" may naisip na naman akong kalokohan haha "huh?bakit?" tutuloy ko ba? baka magalit pa, wag nalang haha "ah wala..wala hehe" ang green ko kasi masyado, nakayakap kasi sya sakin kaya ayun. "tsk! ano ba kasi yun?" asar na sya haha "wala nga po hahaha" tpos narinig ko syang bumulong "manyak" haha sarap talaga asarin ng hon ko. "ahm, Seth where are going?" tanong nya. "kung saan-saan lang, wala akong plano hehe" biro ko "haay nako, ngyaya ka mgdate tapos wala ka naman palang plano hmmp!" tapos di na nya ko kinausap. Nasa amusement park na kami ngayon, after ng ilang rides nakasimangot parin sya.. "c'mon hon panoorin mo ko maglaro" aya ko sakanya and she followed me, that's Sam always following me, kailan kaya to magiging pasaway?haha eh kasi naman minsan ang boring nyang kasama. Pumunta kami sa kung saan my mga binabaril na toy soldiers, my gusto kasi akong kunin para sakanya. And to my luck, nakuha ko nga. Isang malaking girl teddy bear. Panu ko nalamang girl?kasi nakadress ng pink haha "Tada! hon oh kamukha mo" sabi ko sabay abot nung sttuf toy. "wow akin na to?" and finally she smiled again. "Ofcourse, anything to make you smile Samantha Cordoval.. coz you know I really like it when you smile, but I love it when I'm the reason.." "hon?" she said with a sweet voice while placing her hand on both my cheeks. "hmmmm?" tinaas ko kilay ko, I'm smiling at her. "ang corny mo!" sabay kurot sakin. "Sam! it hurts!" sabay buhat sakanya sa shoulders ko, pinagtitinginan na kami ng mga tao. Kasi naman etong Gf ko, sigaw ng sigaw haha ibaba ko na raw. Hindi ko sya binaba hanggang di kami nakarating sa nearby icecream parlor. Nagorder ako nung pinaka-malaking chocolate fudge.. Nilapag ko sa harap nya yung napakalaking bowl ng icecream. "don't tell me ipapaubos mo sakin lahat yan?" parang medyo inis na naman sya, meron ba sya?ang moody kasi nya eh. "ofcourse not, share tayo jan noh" I answered. Magkaharap kaming kumakain, ganito lagi..gusto ko kasi syang pinapanuod kumain ang cute cute nya. After naming kumain pumunta kami sa park, ibang park to ha?baka akala nyo yung ano na. Nakaupo kami sa malaking bato sa lilim ng malaking puno. Pinapanuod namin yung mga ngprapraktis ng sayaw sa di kalayuan. Hawak ko isa nyang kamay habang yung isa nakahawak sa waist nya tapos yung head ko nkasubsob sa shoulders nya.

"Seth have you ever cheated? I mean in all you relationships?have you ever done it? bigla nalang nyang natanong. Tinignan ko sya,

"no.haven't.. why do you ask?" ang wierd nya bigla. Naalala ko tuloy yung sabi ni "misteryosa" 'unless that kiss meant something to you...' I'm trying to forget about that kiss you know? Since I had that talk with her 'twin', I tried to preoccupy myself with things para naman hindi ko na maisip yun. Kaso eto namang si Sam bigla biglang nagtatanong.

"w-wala naman.. iloveyou Seth?"

"iloveyou too Samantha Cordoval" then I smiled at her and she smiled back. I kissed her, a long sweet kiss. I still don't know if that is exactly what I feel about her, but I feel like it is the right thing to say at the moment. Alam ko nasasaktan sya kapag hindi ko sya masagot ng iloveyou too. She seemed very happy with what she heard. She hugged me so niyakap ko rin sya, I kissed her forehead "PDA na tayo" sabi ko tapos tumawa kami ng sabay.. I'm glad I can make her laugh, but I'm still bothered by the way she acts sometimes. Para syang aligaga?tapos kung ano-ano naiisip at natatanong. Soon I'll find out what's happening. but for the meantime, I'll do everything to make this girl happy because that's what she deserves.

We stayed at the park until we witnessed the sun set. Watching this kind of things with your special someone is very uplifting. It's as if everything stops so you can enjoy the moment. "Hatid na kita?" I asked nung maggagabi na. "ok" she just said. Nung nasa tapat na kami ng bahay nila she stood infront of me smiling "thank you para sa araw na to" then she put her arms around my neck and kissed me, I kissed her back.this time it's longer. But then we saw her mom so kumalas na kami. Grabe nakakahiya! "I think kailangan mo ng pumasok" sabi ko ng natatawa, she nodded then went inside. "kayo talagang mga kabataan, masyadong showy haha" biro ng mom nya "sorry tita" I said while smiling. "no it's ok. ingat ka ha?" ang bait nya talaga haha. "opo, salamat po" then umalis na ko. I went home then went straight to my room. I laid on my bed still smiling. Ang saya ng araw na to. "you really are something, Ms. Cordoval" bulong ko sa sarili ko...
