The Boyfriend Project (COMPLETED) #Wattys2016

Twenty-First

21 - Thank you

I hurriedly walk as fast as I can.

I said it. I ended whatever crazy idea I started. Tama naman na tapusin ko na kung anong kalokohan ang sinimulan ko. Because of that, may na-udlot pa akong magandang relasyon.

I sighed and walked slowly.

Tomorrow, everything will be different.

No, it will just go back to normal. To Pre-Simon Days.

There'll be no more good morning messages, thoughtful messages, lunch buddy, hugs and surprise kisses.

I jumped when someone grabbed my arm. I turned and saw Simon. Hinihingal sya.

He breathed, "Explain."

I smiled again and held his hands.

"I fell in love with you, Simon. I love you." I confessed, again.

"I love you too." He said hurriedly as he pulled me to wrap his arms around me.

I smiled and sighed. Ang sarap pakinggan ng mga salitang iyon.

Pero sana. Sana. Sana totoo ang mga iyon.

Umiling ako at kumawala sa kanyang yakap.

"You don't have to say that."

Natigilan sya at pilit nyang iharap ang mukha ko sa kanya. Nakita ko ang pagtataka at pag-alala sa mga mata nya. Without saying a word, I know he was asking me 'Why don't you believe me?'

"Di mo naman kailangan sabihin iyon e. You're being nice, again."

"This is the end of my project. I fell in love. It was fun, Simon. Thank you for the cooperation. Good bye."

I walked away, leaving my heart behind.

This time, no more unsaid words are left behind.

This is the end.
