I Got Broken

Chapter 37

"Fie-fie it's me, Tibi."

"Fie-fie it's me, Tibi."

"Fie-fie it's me, Tibi."

"Fie-fie it's me, Tibi."

"Fie-fie it's me, Tibi."

What he just said suddenly repeats in my mind. It's like I couldn't process it quite clearly. Silence took over us as I stared into his eyes, with him waiting for my reaction.
Then I hug him, so tightly. It was like my body was moving from itself. I feel him hug me back, then I realise.
"Aray!What was that for?!"Tanong niya sakin habang naka hawak sa braso niya.
"That was for not telling me the truth."I said fumed.
"Well you didn't ask."
"You could've just said you were Tibi from the beginning."
"Well I thought you'd notice, it really hurts that you didn't though."
"Hmmm I did thought you both were similar, but that's not the point. Plus Tibi was the only name I knew and also you were so dorky back then."
"Kinda mean don't you think?"
"I think you being Tibi kept a secret is being mean."
"Well I wasn't sure if I wanted to tell you."
"Why?"I quickly changed with seriousness in my eyes.
"Kasi...nagalit ka, nagalit ka nung nalaman mong ikakasal ka."He answered as he lowered his head.
"Hindi ko naman kasi alam na...na kilala ko pala ang pakakasalan ko..."I said with shyness all over me. We stayed silent but when I looked at him he was already smiling cocking his head to the other side.
"So now that you know, you're okay with it?"He asked mischievously.
"Okay with wha---"My sentence was cut as he pull me into a kiss.
Before I knew it, I was already responding with my hands clinging to his neck as his hands travelled to my waist. I know we've kissed before but this kiss was somewhat different. He wasn't aggressive, he was gentle and slow. I can feel him smiling as his soft lips grazed mine. I felt as if my stomach was in some kind of twist, with my heart pounding so hard.
When we finally find the idea of stopping, we were both catching our breaths already with smiles forming our lips.
Bigla kaming napatingin sa gilid namin, we found ate Trisha, kuya Kit with baby Kisha and Nanay standing by the doorway.
"Honey, please tell me you got that on camera."Ate Trisha said overjoyed.
"I sure did."Kuya Kit confirmed as he click to stop what he recorded.
Bigla akong nahiya, matagal naba silang nandiyan?
SVIMH(Strange Voice In My Head): Napasarap ka ata ineng no?😏
Shut up.
"Let's eat."Tyler demanded as he interlocked his hand with mine. Which didn't help that much on what I'm feeling right now.

So the night ended with ate Trisha telling us all about their trip in South Korea, specifically in Jeju Island. She also told me about their love story, how they met and also the hardship of being in a relationship. And what I saw beyond the two of them, was the word Love. The word that scared me so much.

So ngayon I'm at Tyler's room demanding for some explanations. Ate Trisha, kuya Kit and baby Kisha occupied the guest's bed room and headed out early kasi pagod na pagod na daw sila sa biyahe. They planned to stay here for the night, may bahay naman kasi sila somewhere in Manila eh pero pagod kaya bukas nalang sila uuwi dun.

"Talk."With one word I demanded as we sat face to face on his bed.
"Tungkol saan?"Tanong niya.
"Bakit tayo?I mean the world is too big, bakit tayo ang napili na i-fixed marriage?"Sinagot ko siya ng tanong.
"Uh well uh about that, I kinda talked my dad into helping your company. I was eavesdropping when my dad was on the phone and I heard your family name. I asked what was the problem, so he told me about your company. I said I wanted to help right away. Pero sabi niya isang paraan lang ang makakatupad niyan, and that way was to marry you. I hesitated and thought about it for sometime, until I finally agreed."He narrated then let out his breath.
"So you were the one responsible for this?"I asked as I raised my voice.
"Technically yes, I was thinking of another way knowing that we're still young and all. Pero kilala ko si Dad, matigas yun. I'm so sorry Fie, for all of this."Pagtapos niya habang pilit na ngumiti.
"Aray!Para san nanaman yun?"Tanong niya habang napahawak sa ulo.
"Wala."Sabi ko sabay iwas sa mukha ko.
"Sorry..."Narinig ko niyang sabi.
"Forgiven."I said with a smile.
"Really?"He said with a smirk and with seductiveness. Lumapit ang mukha niya sa mukha ko at hinawakan ito ng isang kamay niya which gave me a weird feeling in my stomach, pero I need to know more. I can't just let him kiss me again, that could wait.
SVIMH(Strange Voice In My Head): Ewwww gross!Char echoss ang englesh..XD
Do you ever mind your business?
SVIMH(Strange Voice In My Head): Edi wow..sorna po continue.:-P
"Save it for the honeymoon Chua, could we please just talk first and then kiss."I stop his lips with my pointing finger, he looked disappointed but delighted when I said the last part and I just roll my eyes to that.
"Fine, let's talk."He said sitting straight back up while surrendering.
"Yung nakita kita sa playground, anong ginagawa mo nun?"I ask him.
"You know why I do that."Sagot naman niya.
Awww he still does that,"I feel what the sky feel" kind of thing,the one that we did when we were young. It's kind of a game that he made where we lay on the ground ang look at the sky then feel what the sky feels. Pero ang alam ko ginagawa niya lang yun, kung masaya siya o nalulungkot.
"I mean, are you happy or are you sad at that time?"I ask him in a more specific kind of way.
"Did you see the sky at that time?"Right. Why am I so dumb, of course he was sad. I guess when it rained he was already there feeling the sky, that's why he was soaking wet. How sad, it just gives me the urge to hug him right now, but I don't want to ruin our talk so what I did is I just held his hand.
