THE REBOUND

PART TWO

Umalis sya mula sa pagkakayakap sakin and he looked at me. Confusion is written on his face.

"Anong pinagsasabi mo May?"

Pumikit ako ng mariiin. This is the  right time.

"I'm in love with you Ryan. Matagal na."

"You don't need to do this May para lang i- comfort ako. You know na ayoko ng kinakawaan ako."

Umiwas sya ng tingin sa akin but i cupped his face and kissed him.

This is my first kiss and he knows that.

"I hate you for saying those words. Kilala mo  rin ako for being stubborn so you know i can't do the things that i really don't want to do. Ayoko ng napipilitan Ry. I really love you. I love you."

I'm still cupping his face. He cupped my face to and this time his the one that kiss me.

     Naging kami nga pagkatapos ng araw na yun. Naging masaya
ako pero hindi ko magawang maging masaya ng sobra because i knew thay this relationship is just one-sided love. I'm only the one that holding and trying things to work. In short, ako lang ang may gusto ng relasy0ng to. Napipilitan lang sya. Minsan sumasagi sa isip ko na pagsisisihan lahat yung desisyon ko.

Tinapik ko sya dahil tulala na naman sya.

"What do you want to eat Ry?" I asked.

"Anything." He smiled at me.

"Okay." Tumakbo ako papuntang kusina. Binuksan ko yung ref and seeked for a raw meat. I'll cooked sinigang. Paborito kasi namin pareho
yun.

Naghihiwa ako ng karne when i felt his arms around me.

I smiled. "Why? Dun ka na. Magluluto lang ako."

He didn't respond so i faced him.

He kisses me. We shared kisses.

Yung pag iisip ko ng pagsisisi sa desisyong to ay natatakpan ng thought na 'bakit pa ako magsisisi? Kami na eh. Mamahalin nya rin ako
' On going palang yung pagmo- move on nya and someday kapag nagawa nya ng kalimutan si Rina, he can love me back.

     Our relationship is now almost 1 year. Matagal na kami. Yung pagsisisi sakin wala na dahil pinaparamdam nya saking mahal na mahal nya ako.

My sacrifice is all worth it. Ang sarap sa pakiramdam na maibigay sayo yung love na hinihiling mo. The attention that you seek. Ang sarap din sa pakiramdam yung maibigay mo yung trust mo. Nakakafeel ako ng contentment.

" Sino yun?"  Nakabusangot nyang tanong sakin.
.

Marahan akong natawa.

"Ano ka ba! Boyfriend yun ng kapatid ko."

"Ba't ka nya kinakausap?"

"He's just asking for a help para sa anniversary nila ng kapatid ko"

Kinikilig ako  dahil nagseselos sya. Ang sarap sa feeling. Sobrang nakakaganda. Malandi na kung malandi.

"Tara na?" Hinila ko sya papuntang McDo. I'm teasing him and accusing that he's jealous while he keeps on denying it.

"Ako nalang o-order." Nilahad ko ang kamay ko sakanya. "Pera."

.
Natawa naman sya at nag abot ng 1 thousand.

Ang haba ng pila dahil maraming tao ngayon dahil weekend. Sinabihan ko syang maghanap ng mauupuan namin but unfortunately, wala ng bakante kaya magte take out nalang kami. Nauna nalang syang lumabas.

Almost 10 munites ako nakapila bago
ako naka order. 'Atlast'

Nakangiti akong lumabas but my smile vanished when i saw who he was talking.

It's Rina.

I was stunned. I can't move toward them. Ang tagal ko nang nakatayo
dun dahil para ako naitulos sa kinakatayuan ko.

Hanggang sa hinila ni Ryan si Rina palabas ng mall. They didn't notice me. He didn't even remember that i was with him.

His girlfriend.
