The Love Band (COMPLETED)

73. Canceled Date

Avah's POV:

Avah, magkita tayo sa mall bukas. Ako na magsusundo sa iyo dyan sa bahay niyo bukas ng mga around 9 AM. Pls. Wag ka ng tumanggi. May kailangan akong sabihin.

I frowned at Andre's text. Does he want to tell me sorry and thank you? If yes, why didn't he just call me?

Ok.

My mouth shaped an 'o' when I replied ok. As in? For real?

Am I a nail and is he a magnet?

I mean,

Am I a robot and is he the controller?

I can't control myself even my feelings if he's already the one I'm talking to, or if he's the one who's in favor.

Alright then, good night.

My lips formed a smile and that made me feel confuse.

I'm definitely not inlove with him but why am I being like this?

I think I like him?
I mean, I think I love him.
No...
I think I'm totally inlove with him.

My eyes grew wide with that thought. Wait, what was that?

***

I'm feeling bored with watching the clock tick and waiting for the time to pass by.

Why does this event feel special for me?

Am I really inlove with him?

*ding dong*

I hurriedly went out of the house and opened the gate.

"Umm, hi? Good morning?" I'm really not sure if I am really greeting or asking him.

"Good morning!" He greeted cheerfully with a grin.

"What's with the morning? Why do you look so happy?" I asked. He's still grinning and that really made me feel confused. I frowned as he crossed his arms and leaned on his car.

Why is he so handsome?

Ugh! I shook that thing out of my head and rolled my eyes. Silly Avah! It's because her sister Zanea is pretty! Duh?

"Well, mas maganda lang kasi sa umaga ang babaeng kaharap ko ngayon." He smiled. I rolled my eyes and patted his head.

"I think we should go." I said and playfully ruffled his hair.

"T-teka lang." He holded my left arm and that made me stop.

"Wait, Andre. It hurts." I squeak. Well, my voice is a bit high because it really hurts.

"Sorry." He apologized and loosened the tight grip here in my arms while holding my right cheek.

Goosebumps formed and the butterflies ran wild inside my tummy.

Why do I feel this way?

"A-ah. It's okay. I really think we should go." I hurriedly walked away from him. I was about to open the door when he leaned on it that is why I stepped backwards. He smiled and opened the door.

"Gentleman, huh?" I kid. He just grinned.
And so I went inside and sat on the passenger's seat. He gently closed the door so that it'll not sound loud. I pulled the seatbelt to put it on but then he gently grabbed it away from me and putted it on. After that, he also putted his seatbelts on and looked at me with a smile.

"Ayos ka lang? Komportable ka ba?" I giggled and ruffled his hair.

"Yeah. Your seat is comfy and nice." I smiled. He nodded and looked at the road. I sat quietly and closed my eyes when he started to drive.

While getting some sleep, I heard him chuckled.

"Alam kong tulog ka ngunit matagal ko ng gusto itong sabihin sayo." I swallowed and breathe more air.

"I have loved you since I knew what love is. I tought that having a little crush on you since we were still kids means 'paghanga'. Pero ngayong malalaki na tayo, ngayon ko lang narealize na, minahal na pala kita magmula noon pa. I was admiring you since the first day I met you. Until now, I'm still admiring you. Ay hindi pala, minamahal pala kita ngayon. Kaso lang noong mga nakaraang buwan, may boyfriend ka pala. Siguro sinasabi mo lang na si Zach ang crush mo ngunit, may boyfriend ka na pala. Ngunit ngayong wala na kayo, may pag-asa pa ba ako? Meron pa ba?" Every word he's saying are like knives that are cutting my heart and it kills me inside.

Bakit gan'to reaksyon ko? Do I like him? Do I love him, too? Hindi na ako nagdalawang isip pa kundi sagutin siya. I'm still closing my eyes really hard and bit my lower lip to stop the tears from flowing through my cheek.

"I lied. Wala akong ex. That was just an alibi to hide the hard feelings I am feeling that time. When you're with that girl, it feels like, I'm dead inside." I wiped my tears and looked at him. According to he's facial expression, he's a bit schock. I can see that he's in pain through his eyes.

"It's just... funny. I am the one who doesn't want to see people cry and become weak but look at me, Andre, I'm weak." I bitterly smiled and wiped his tears.

"Sa tingin ko, I need to take a rest. Next time na lang tayo lumabas." I smiled at him and let him stopped. As I wish, he stopped the car. I removed my seatbelt and went down from the car. Tears fell when I closed the door.

Para akong pinaparusahan sa mga narinig ko bago siya umalis.

"Good luck para sa semi-finals sa America. Take care of yourself there. Don't forget to use your sweater or jacket everyday. I love you, good bye."

***

Instead of studying my lessons, I cried and let go all of the pain that kills me inside.

Why do I need to hurt him? Alam kong nasasaktan siya kasi nagsinungaling ako sa kanya at hindi ko naibigay ang dapat niyang makuha after all those sacrifices he did for me. Lagi na siyang nagtetext ng good morning, happy lunch, good night, etc. sakin eh tapos di ko siya nirereplyan. Oh, yung efforts niya sa pagloaload, diba binabalewala ko lang?

I'm really a dumb, stupid, pathetic, and a badass girl.

I didn't gave what he deserves.

*knock knock*

I wiped my tears and opened the door. The room's very dark. Only the light that is coming from outside the door makes the dark room light up.

"Can I come in?" She asked.

Tears fell when I saw her. Pag nakikita ko siya, naalala ko nanaman siya.

"Zanea..."
