CHAPTER 7
CLOG’s POV
Hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin ko ngayon. Actually hindi kami nagpapansinan dalawa. I guess it’s for the better na rin. Hay! I think I need to break the silence…
“Uhmmm… CANDY…”
“CLOG, sa totoo lang ayokong makipag-away sayo ngayon kaya please, kahit ngayon lang friends muna tayo?” –CANDY
“Yun nga sana ang itatanong ko sayo at oo, friends?” –ako
She raised her eyebrow
“Hindi pa kasi ako tapos, friends, Kahit ngayon lang?” –ako
“Friends!” –CANDY
Pwede bang more than friends na lang? pero of course hindi ko na sinabi yun. Hay! If only I can turn our world around, matagal ko nang ginawa yun.
Pumunta kami sa park and stayed there for a while. Sana pala ganito na lang kami palagi. Walang bangayan, walang pikunan, just a peaceful talk with no misunderstandings. Now, I just new that we have a lot in common. I guess we are really meant to be! I’m just joking!
“Uhmm... CLOG… can we be friends… for real this time?” –CANDY
I would love too! Pero pwede bang more than friends?
“Sure! Friends?” I handed my hand out and she reached for it.
“Friends! ^_^” –CANDY
For the first time in my life I saw her happy but faked. Not literally fake but not really happy. It’s complicated. Nevermind
Natigil ang pag-iisip ko nang nagsalita si CANDY…
“CLOG, look, shooting star ohh…”-CANDY
Nagkatinginan kaming dalawa sa mata and then she realized she held my hand. I hold her hand tight para sabihin na “it’s okey, don’t worry too much just make a wish and I’ll hold you tight.” Well, of course I didn’t say that. It’s too embarrassing, well, kind of.
“Yeah I saw it. So, let’s make a wish?” –ako
I said that while I was still holding her hand. She held my hand back, closed her eyes, took a deep breath and wished. I did the same way too. But, I have no idea what she wished for, basta ang alam ko andito na ang taong pinakamamahal ko, si CANDY at wala nang iba. Oo, inaamin ko na, mahal ko na siya. Hindi ko siya gusto, hindi ko siya crush, mahal ko siya, mahal na mahal at wala na talagang iba.
“CANDY, what did you wish for?” –ako
“Kapag sinabi ko sayo ‘yun, hindi nay un magiging totoo noh.” –CANDY
“Ahhh, ok. I understand.” –ako
“Sige na nga, basta tutulungan mo akong matupad ‘tong wish na ‘to.” –CANDY
“Okey, sure, that’s fine with me. I’ll do what I can.” –ako
“I wished for something new. Something or someone to rely on, someone to protect me, someone I can call mine.” –CANDY
I can feel her pain ‘cause I know that no matter how rich they are, they still don’t have time for each other. Yeah sometimes they have, but not most of the time. That’s why mas close siya kela MAYA and MIA kaysa sa parents niya. Oo, spoiled siya, pero meron parin ‘yang tinatagong sakit at inggit sa mga pamilyang ‘di naman mayaman pero buo lagi ang pamilya. I just really don’t know how she handled that much pain by herself. Out of nowhere I just said…
“Why did you wish for that? If you know that I’m already yours” –ako
“Ano?” –CANDY
Why the hell did I say that?!!!
Candy— 0_0 then >///<
Ako— o_0
Nagblush siya o imagination ko lang yun?
Bigla naman ako natauhan
“Wala, sabi ko, gutom ako, kain tayo?” –ako
Hay, palusot.
Kelan kaya ako magkakaroon ng lakas ng loob para sabihin sa kanya yung nararamdaman ko? Bahala na si tadhana, mahirap kalabanin ang oras.
CANDY’S POV
Hindi ako makatulog, buwiset kasi yung CLOG na yun. Kung ano-ano sinasabi, tumitibok tuloy ang puso ko. ANSAVEHHH?!!!! Pero oo, tibok ng tibok yung puso ko after niyang sabihin yun. Yung parang ang saya saya ng puso ko pero sabi ng utak ko kinakabahan ka lang. Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit tumibok yung puso ko, kinakabahan ba talaga ako o may meaning na?
Nang sinabi niya ‘yon a part of me was very happy, and I don’t know why. Siguro kinakabahan lang ako kasi first time ko siyang naging kaibigan. Siguro magaan lang pakiramdam ko sa kanya. Ayoko kasi umasa, lalo na kung dahil lang sa wala. Mahirap na baka iba mapuntahan, kailangan mag-ingat at baka manakaw ang puso ko. CHAROT!!!
Pero ito ang hinding-hindi ko makakalimutan…
*flashback*
“Wala, sabi ko, gutom ako, kain tayo?” –CLOG
Ang awkward talaga! Tapos parang ang init ng mukha ko. May lagnat ba ako?
“S-sige, san t-tayo ka-kakain?” –ako
Bakit ako nauutal? What’s happening to me? Ughhh!!!
“You’ll see ^___^” –CLOG
Super mega churva AWKWARD!!!
-restaurant-
Nag-order na si CLOG. Wala akong ganang kumain kaya sabi ko siya na lang ang mag-order, and he did. Well, he should be.
“CANDY, I need to tell you something” –CLOG
“Ano ‘yon?” –ako
Uminom ako ng tubig, ayaw ko kasi siyang tignan. Nakatitig ba naman sa mga mata ko ng diretso!
“Can we be more than friends?” –CLOG
Nabuka ko yung tubig na iniinom ko dahil sa sobrang gulat. Grabe! ‘di ko carry pinagsasasabi ng mokong na ‘to. Ano daw? More than friends? Close friends? Best friends? BFF? Anu daw? ‘di ko nagets? Na-mental block ata ako.
“Ano?” –ako
Hindi ko talaga siya magets!
“I said, can we… uhmmm… be more than friends?” -CLOG
“Sige. So, Close friends?” –ako
Ano ba tong pinagsasasabi ko?
“Alam kong awkward sayo to pero, what if we make this relationship thingy that our parents planned for us REAL?” –cCLOG
Gosh! I’m speechless. Hindi nga ako makapagsalita ang ingay naman ng tibok ng puso ko. Teka kailangan ko ng tulong. Hindi ko alam kung anong nararamdaman ko ngayon. Kinakabahan ako ulit? Unli? Ano bayan! Teka, ngayon lang nag-process yung sinabi niya, what if we make this relationship real? How will it feel? Good? Bad? I don’t know, I really don’t.
“CLOG, to be honest, I really don’t know” –ako
“It’s okey, I’ll give you time to think though” –CLOG
“Thanks! Let’s eat” –ako
Then dinner went well but still, it’s a little bit awkward for me. After dinner, we went outside to feel the cold breeze and smell the fresh wind.
“Pa’no kaya kung tayo talaga, for real?” –ako
Bakit ko tinanong ‘yun. Nadala ata ako sa sarap ng feeling sa labas.
“Anyway, ang sarap ng hangin no?” –ako
Grabe hiyang-hiya ako sa kanya. It’s so embarrassing!!! TT_TT tumingin ako sakanya kasi hindi siya sumagot. And right on tme… our lips met. As in, sakto talaga, walang sobra, walang kulang. Did he really did that on purpose? But wait, he kissed me… he kissed me… HE KISSED ME?!!!!! 0_0?
