Twisted Fate

Chapter 39: Goodbyes

Chapter 39: Goodbyes

So much for getting my hopes up. I was wrong. There wouldn't be a next time. That was the first and the last date that I'll ever experience with him.  

It's so unfair. Why is fate so mean to me? All I did is to finally let someone new into my life.  

I knew it was stupid to fall for him, but who wouldn't? Who wouldn't fall for a guy who cares for you, protects you? Who wouldn't fall for a guy who never fails to make you feel special? 

Still, I wish everything that I felt for him is not true. I wish I never have let him into my life, I wish I didn't kiss him the first time we saw each other, I wish I never met him... That way I wouldn't feel this pain. That way I wouldn't have had my heart shattered into tiny pieces that can never be put back into place.

Pauwi na kami galing sa "friendly date" namin ni Seth. Sobrang saya ko kasi ang rami namin nashare na kwento sa isa't-isa. Pakiramdam ko may bago na akong bestfriend... ang sarap nyang kausap, parang kahit ano pwede naming pagusapan. I still can't figure out why I feel so safe with him though. It was the wierdest thing ever but I like it.  

Mga 3 pm na nung makauwi na kami, wala na kasi kaming ganang pumasok pareho eh. We decided to go on a movie marathon nalang. 

"Seth, alam mo ba pangarap kong magbake ng chocolate cake?" bigla kong nasabi habang papasok na kami ng bahay nila. 

"Talaga? Well lucky you Miss Tamayo, I'm willing to play genie today" sagot naman nya habang inaalalayan ako. 

"Really? You'll let me use your magic kitchen tools?" excited kong tanong. Si Kurt and Jaymie kasi ayaw ipahawak sa akin yung mga gamit pangluto. Wala naman daw kasi akong "gift" so why bother holding those utensils? 

"Yhup. But not without my supervision. Ipapahiram ko rin sayo yung recipe book para naman hindi kana mahirapan"  

"Thank you!" tapos niyakap ko sya sa sobrang excitement ko. "Ay sorry..." sabay talikod sakanya, nakakahiya ka naman Alison. Baka isipin nya chansing ka. 

"Oh baka gusto mo pa ng isa?" biro nya habang nakaspread yung arms nya.  

I glared at him so binaba na nya yung mga kamay nya. "Sabi ko nga wag na eh" bulong nya. 

We went to the kitchen para ihanda yung mga gagamitin. Ang dami palang kailangan? Meron pang kung anu-anong kaek-ekan na hindi ko narin alam yung tawag.  

"Oh sukatin mo na yung ingredients" sabi nya sabay abot ng cup sakin.  

"Yes sir!" mataas na energy kong sagot. 

Ang saya pala ng ganito, sukat sukat tapos timpla-timpla hehe. Si Seth kina-career talaga yung pagsusupervise sa akin. Tutok na tutok talaga sya sa mga ginagawa ko. Pinapalo pa nya yung hands ko kapag mali yung ginagawa ko. Kung hindi lang ako kinikilig kanina ko pa to nabatukan eh. Pero naiimagine ko nga magasawa kami tapos gumagawa kami ng anniversary cake namin haha. 

Hinihintay nalang namin mabake yung ginawa naming chocolate cake tapos kakainin daw namin kapag manunuod na kami. Sobrang excited ako kasi first time kong gumawa ng cake kasama pa ang isang espesyal na tao. 

"Ali. Anong edad mo gustong magkapamilya?" tanong nya, nabigla ako nung kinuha nya yung kamay ko at pinaglaruan yung mga daliri ko. I suddenly felt butterflies in my stomach. 

"Ako? hmm... ewan. Siguro 25? 27? Basta kapag nahanap ko na yung right guy yun na yun." pinapanuod ko lang yung ginagawa nyang pagmassage sa kamay ko. God why is he doing this?
