Modern Fairytale: Cinderella's Girl

BONUS CHAPTER

Veronica's POV

"Why are you doing this to me?"

Napalingon ako ng mabosesan ko kung sino ang babaeng na sa likuran ko ngayon.

"What do you mean?" tanong ko sa kanya habang nakakunot ang mga noo ko.

"What do you mean? Is that all you can say ha? Nica. Are you playing games with me?" sabi ni Sam sakin na halatang nagagalit na sya.

"Im not. And i dont understand what youre talking about" sabi ko.

"You don't understand? You just said you love me last night and later you just play our theme song. And the song youre always singing for me." makikita mong naguguluhan sya. Yeah sinabi ko na mahal ko sya pero bakit ganun parang iba na. Parang hindi na katulad ng dati. Parang may nagbago sa nararamdaman ko para sa kanya.

"ill just want to play that." sabi ko nalang sa kanya.

"Can you just make it clear Nica. Nahihirapan na kasi ako Nica. I dont know what should i do. Di ko alam kung anong iisipin ko. When i need you, in just one call you're always there. Why are you acting like you care? " sabi nya.

"Because i care." sagot ko.

"You care so you mean?" hindi ko na sya pinatapos na makapagsalita.

"Yes i care as a friend Sam. As a friend. May pinagsamahan tayo at oo pinapahalagahan ko yun bilang kaibigan mo. Matagal ko nang tanggap na wala na tayo. Matagal ko nang tanggap na tapos na tayo. And i already move on."

"But you just said you love me last night, Narinig ko yun ng malinaw." mahinahon na sabi na parang naiiyak na boses.

"Yeah i said i love you. But i love you as a friend Sam. Naiintindihan mo ba ako? At hindi pa ba malinaw sayo? Diba nga may Girlfriend na ako. Masaya na ako kay Ella. I Love Her. And i dont want to hurt her. Shes so much mean to me." sabi ko.

Nakita kong napapailing si Sam at saka tumalikod at saka tumakbo palayo sa akin.

Tiningnan ko na lang palayo si Sam.

Nagkaroon ng annoucement about another event at sa kasamaang palad ako ang napili nilang mag represent nang section at wala naman akong magagawa dun.

Napatingin ako sa Ella. Nakita ko silang nagtatawanan ni Hannah at sa totoo lang hindi ko gusto ang mga nakikita ko. Ilang araw na silang laging magkasama at sa napapansin ko ilang araw na din akong hindi pinapansin nang maayos ni Ella.

On the day of event ..

I was on the stage singing the song Say you wont let go by James Arthur

I met you in the dark

You lit me up

You made me feel as though

I was enough

Naalala ko nung mga panahon na feeling napaka hopeless kong tao. Ella thought me na pahalagahan ko ang sarili ko. She makes me feel that i am also an important person at may karapatan din akong mahalin ng tapat. This song is really for her.

I knew I loved you then

But you'd never know

Cause I played it cool when I was

Scared of letting go

I know I needed you

But I never showed

But I wanna stay with you

Until we're grey and old

Just say you won't let go
