Chapter Sixteen: You're Still the Same
Napagpasyahan kong tumayo na at hindi na siya hintaying matapos kumain. Chicken lang kasi kinain ko kasi nag-dinner na ako kanina and I have to burn those calories. Nagpasalamat rin ako sa food, kahit gusto ko na siyang tusukin ng tinidor kanina, I know pa rin kung ano ang dapat.
Right now, I'm walking right away to the kitchen. "Uh-uhm." He cleared his throat na nagpalingon sa akin. "I insisted, let me wash your dishes." He declared.
'Ano bang nakain nito at ibang-iba siya sa sinungaling na kilala ko? Nagsisinumgaling na naman ba siya? Pinag-lalaruan niya na naman ako? If's that the case, I won't let him to win his plan. Hindi ko hahayaang paglaruan niya ulit ako!'
Hindi na ako nakipagtalo pa, and let him washed those dishes. Once in a blue moon lang na hindi ako maghuhugas kaya grab the opportunity and besides he is a intruders, tama lang yan para sa kanya, being a dish washer.
Right now, I am in the living area, seating on the long sofa, continued reading the novel of John Green in titled 'Looking for Alaska'. I love the sequel of this novel and the way John Green wrote it.
"You haven't change after all." Sabi niya na nagpalingon sa akin sa direction niya kung saan palapit siya dito sa sofa. I raised my eyebrows and kinunot ko ang noo ko.
'Ano bang pinagsasabi ng lalaking 'to?'
"You're still the same. Mali sila dahil physical appearance lang naman nagbago sa'yo. You just grown enough and improved your fashion sense but you're still Ian Xershyle Lee Zobel I've met three and in a half years ago." He said seriously sabay upo sa katabi ko dahilan para dumistansiya ako because of my adrenaline instinct.
'Haist. Pupuwede naman doon sa single couch, dito pa talaga sa katabi ko? Ano bang pinagsasabi nito? I don't get it?'
"You're still the book eater young lady. Yun nga lang wala na yung thick eye glasses mo, kasi very thick eye glasses suot mo ngayon."
Nang-iinsulto ba 'to?!
"I mean your ponytail, boyish, nerd looked and your out of the fashion style. You don't look like a nerd this time, but you're still my Shy Geek Xershyle." Sabi niya na may bakas ng pang-aasar.
"What?! You came here, just to insult me huh!?" I asked irritably and controlling my frustrations.
'At ano bang my shy geek Xershyle niya? Kailan pa ako naging kanya?'
"Of course not! Why should I? I'm just trying to say that you've changed a lot, but some special trait of yours are still the same." He said seriously and sigh deeply. Totoo ba talagang mukhang kinakabahan ang lalaking ito sa harapan ko, or I just imagining it. "They were wrong thinking about you've really changed after all, because your still the same Xershyle."
Tsk. Yan na naman siya sa pagtawag sa akin sa second name ko, kainis. 'Oliver, best friend please scared him para umalis na tong jerk na'to!' Ang sabi ko sa aking isipan na umaasang pagbigyan ako ng bestfriend ko.
"Wow! You seems very sure about that huh? Because I'm not. I'm sure that I've totally changed Mister Arrogant JERK! People changed after all, ikaw na rin ang may sabi na, it was THREE AND A HALF YEARS AGO. Many things can happen with that long period of time, so you're wrong thinking about that." I said sarcastically and give him a smile as an assurance.
"Really? Maybe you are right, but I could feel it! Ikaw pa rin ang simple nerdy girl na nakilala ko noon. You're still Xershyle na unconscious kung anong tingin ng iba sa kanya. You don't even care if someone criticizing your fashion style, basta you're comfortable with it." Sincere na sabi niya at hindi mapakali dahil sa ramdam kong mabilis niyang paghinga.
I wonder why, pero this is just a prank. I knew it!
"You're still a fragile Xershyle, a demure one. Katulad noon na kailangang protekta--" I cut his words bago pa man matapos.
"Stop that nonsense words of yours!" I'm almost shouting. "I don't want to hear your opinion. Can you please leave my house now." I said calmly this time, trying to vanish my frustrations.
Matapos kong sabihin yun mukhang nagulat yata siya dahil pansin kong lumaki ng konti ang singkit niyang mga mata at hindi nakapagsalita.
Who the hell is he, thinking that I am weak, cause I'm not. I could twist his arm right now, right away. Kung hindi ko nga lang inaalala ang rules ng taekwondo, malamang nakahandusay na siya sa sahig ngayon.
Binalot ng katahimikan ang buong bahay. Sanay akong walang ingay dito, but I'm not comfortable with this kind of silent atmosphere. Feeling ko ang bigat.
Since, mukhang wala sa amin balak ang maunang magsalita, I decided to went to my library para ibalik 'tong libro. Nang makalabas ako ng library room nakita ko siyang nakahilig sa sofa habang nakapikit.
'Bakit pa kasi nandito to?' Huminga ako ng malalim at patuloy na naghakbang papunta sa kinaroroonan niya.
Nang makalapit ako sa sofa nakapikit pa rin siya. I decided to wake him up, kaya mas lumapit pa ako almost an inch nalang pagitan namin. From this, mas nakikita ko ang features ng intruder na'to. His hair was Achilles-gold and coiffed to perfection. His eyes had the same startling clarity as a mountain stream and the lineaments of his face were in perfect proportion to each other.
The aquiline nose he sported complemented his prominent cheekbones. Handsome in an understated way, his basalt jaw and Spartan shoulders spoke of strength. He possessed a latent, leonine power and always walked with purpose and authority.
He seemed molded from a different cast as he had an androgynous look uncommon to most people. Lacquered and enameled by the sun, he radiated energy and brio. His mountain peak cheekbones appeared chiseled into shape by a master craftsman. They were of such sharp contours, it looked as if they were sculpted and pared to perfection. With eyes as bright and spellbinding as lode stars, they bewitched all those who fell under his steady gaze. They were a-sparkle with mirth and shone like two eternity-blue jewels en-wrought in snow.
'Oh wait, what I am thinking? Arggg. Erase. Erase. Erase.' Sabi ko sa sarili ko habang kasalukuyan kong inaalog ang ulo ko.
'Haist! Bakit kapag nakapikit siya parang ang bait niya at hindi makabasag pinggan? Bakit hindi ko makita ang devilish side niya?'
Siguro kung parati ko siyang nakikitang nakapikit o natutulog maniniwala na ako sa sabi-sabing mabait itong varsity ace player or well known as one of the Tie's Heirs, na ngayon ay nasa sofa ko. Hindi ko kasi makita ang kaangasan nito at kabulastugan ngayon.Bakit bigla akong nakaramdam ng kaba? Naninikip din ang dibdib ko. It is awkward.
'Haist! Bakit may impact siyang ganito sa akin? Nakamove-on na ba ako sa katagang I'm in love with my bestfriend? Maybe he has a resemblance with my bestfriend kaya ako nagkakaganito.' Ang bigat, pero there is a part on me na masaya na makita siya dahil posibleng magawa ko na ang plano ko, pero mas nangingibabaw ang kirot at paninikip ng dibdib ko, at ang galit na any time from now gusto ko na siyang makitang magdusa.
I want to push him so hard. To slap him, ng malutong na malutong.
