Daytime Firefly

Chapter 61

Adrian Parina POV

Since long ago, I've been inexperienced with girls.

"Ian! Sorry kung na late ako. Bili, uuwi na tayo." Sabi ng nanay ko nung isang araw na nahuli siya sa pagsundo sa akin sa school.

"Ah, tama. May pasalubong ako para sa'yo. Sorry kung algi akong late sa pagsundo sa'yo." Ibinigay niya sa akin yung isang stufftoy. Yung kontrabida sa isang paborito kong palabas.

Niyakap ko ito at ngumiti.

"Nagustuhan mo ba? Ikaw talaga Ian, napaka rare mo magpakita ng ngiti."

"Thank you."

"Walang ano man. Halika na."

My mother was the only person of the opposite gender that I'd opened up my heart to. But it ended suddenly.

"Sorry, mahal ko kayong lahat pero meron ding importanteng tao sa akin na gusto ko samahan. Sorry talaga." She said while crying and holding a divorce paper.

That day, the only thing I could remember was; the anger in my older brother's face, and Jian's loud cry.

Pagkatapos niya sumama sa boss niya sa trabaho, iniwanan niya ang mga anak niya, ang asawa niya at tuluyan na siyang nawala sa buhay ko.

"Gross." That day, that was the only thing that came to my mind.

Ever since then, my dislike for girls gradually increased. To make things worse...a weird habit of blushing hard, appeared.

Hanggang sa maghigh school ako, wala akong contact sa mga babae. Kaya lang, kung gaano kabilis natapos ang lahat, ganun din kabilis ang pagdating ng panibagong simula.

"Maging magkaibigan tayo!"

That day I met her, I knew I'd been caught by an annoying girl. I thought that if I was rude to girls, they would naturally drift away. But it didn't happen.

"Adrian, good morning!"

She was different...

"Adrian pahiram ng notebook mo."

"Pwede din ba natin isama si Adrian?"

"Adrian!"

Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero iba talaga siya sa ibang mga babae.

Somehow...I didn't hate it when I talked to her.

Pero isang araw nakita ko siyang nagmamadali at tumatakbo sa hallway na may make-up sa mukha. It was really irritating to see her like that.

She said she doesn't have friends, but she's running off in such a hurry...to meet someone she wants to see?

Seeing her running figure and her flushed cheeks made me awfully annoyed.

Paano siya naging iba sa mga ibang babae? Bakit siya pa? Ano bang maganda sa kanya? Hindi ko maintindihan.

Even if I'm an outsider, even if I'm hers for only a moment

I...wanted to become someone special to her. Just by being together with me...just for a little while...I wanted her to be happy.

I looked at the text that I send to her after I left and allow her to see him. When I realized she didn't reply, all the memories we shared came back to my mind like a storm.
