Can't Help Falling Inlove| #KNWonderwallWC

Chapter 16

Napipikon ako! Hindi naman dapat pero nakakainis talaga.

"Hey! What's wrong? Nakabusangot yang mukha mo."Si Enia. Nagpa-iwan siya dito sa Iloilo since she wants to hang out with me daw. If I know magsho-shoping lang to.

Sunday in the morning nag-uwian na kami Saturday night nang matapos yung seminar. Medyo may natutunan kami pero syempre panay naman kami tulog sa hall at nagpaparticipate lang pag activity.

"Itanong mo nga kay William kung-"

"I don't know him."

"Wow. Anong drama yan teh?" I sulk myself in the couch habang hinihilot ang sentido ko. Pagod ako. Nakapameywang naman si Enia sa harap ko na may bitbit pang sandok. She's cooking something I don't want to know.

"Hoy. Hoy. Make kwento." Inirapan ko siya. Here we go again. But in the end I quit on my drama and told her.

"Di ka niya pinansin whole day kahapon and maging kanina?” I glared at her, seriously, inulit niya lang. “Chill, baka binadtrip mo o di kaya PMS.” At tumawa na sya pabalik sa kusina. “Ang cute talaga ng bahay mo, gusto ko na dito tumira.” Dagdag pa niya.

I really didn’t do anything. Ah! Anyway, I busied myself on answering different forms my dad sent me. “Really pursuing going abroad huh.” Hinayaan ko lang si Enia na tumabi sakin while I’m sending the letters to towards the different schools abroad.

“Ayokong umalis ka at gusto kong sabihin dito ka lang mag-aral.” Aniya habang nakatingin ng malungkot sakin. Hinarap ko naman sya at binigyan ng tipid na ngiti.

“Pwede naman eh, but I want to live. “

“I understand I want you to live also.”

We spent the afternoon chitchatting about the lives of our previous classmates. Mga bandang alas dos ng hapon ng may magpadala ng bulaklak sa akin. Kinulit naman ako ni Enia kung sino ang nagpadala.

“I really don’t know Enia.” Napakamot ako sa ulo ko dahil sa kulit niya. Hawak ngayon ni Enia yung bouquet at nagselfie rito. Wala akong ideya kung sino ang nagpadala, baka nga nagkamali lang. But it’s my complete name and eksakto ang address ko, para sakin daw talaga.

“Nako, Enia kailangan ko na ata ng makakasama rito, tinatakot na ako ng bulaklak na yan. What if I have a stalker.” I riotously said to Enia but she’s just giving me her ‘are you serious’ look.

“Ang ganda mo naman para magkastalker ka.” Pinalo ko naman yung braso niya, seryoso kasi ako at tumawa lang sya. “Dali, hawakan mo, picturan kita. Smile ha- Ngiti! Dali! Isa!” napakabossy talaga nito.

Hindi nagtagal may bumusina sa labas, napatayo naman ako para tingnan kung sino yun. Nilingon ko si Enia at napangiti naman ako.

“Hi.”

“What brought you here?” diretso naman syang pumasok at agad na nataranta si Enia nang pumasok siya. Napatawa naman ako ng mahina.

“Oh, hi Enia kamusta na? I didn’t know you’re here.” Atsaka siya lumapit kay Enia para magbeso. Yung lola nyo, namula naman.

“A-ah, H-hi. Carl. Long time no see.” Pigil na pigil na talaga yung pagtawa ko kay Enia. Hindi naman ako kita ni Carl kasi nakatalikod siya sakin.

“Nako, tama lang dating mo Carl, Enia’s going to cook for our dinner, you’re staying right?” I swear Enia wanted to eat me right now. “Shell be cooking sinigang right Enia?” I smiled widely, well, sinigang lang naman ang alam niyang lutuin so wala siyang choice. I remember when she was in elementary, yung crush niya kasi sa kabilang section favorite raw yung sinigang. And the as saying goes, the best way to get a man is through his stomach, kaya naman nagpaturo siya sa yaya niya. She practiced on cooking it for 3 years, can you believe it? But when high school came kung saan ready na siya ipatikim yung specialty niya, nagkagirlfriend yung boy. Oh well, at least natuto si Enia magluto ng sinigang.

Carl did stay. Naglaro lang siya ng xbox na dala niya. Maglalaro raw sana kami, but I said tinatamad ako at si Enia na lang. nakipaglaro naman si Enia, at after an hour or so, she decided to start cooking na. “Sasapakin talaga kita Avi, juskoo kinakabahan ako.” Aniya habang naghihiwa ng mga karne. She’s really pressured but I know na namaster na niya to.

“Wow, ang sarap Enia, I didn’t know na magaling ka palang magluto.” Carl’s compliment made Enia blush. We’re on the table na, eating our dinner and si Enia di makakain kasi raw baka di magustuhan ni Carl.

“Alam mo ba Carl, tuwing may sakit ako, pinagluluto ako ni Enia nito.” Eversince na natuto kasi siya she kept on cooking for everyone na. Sobrang proud niya sa sinigang niya. We spent the night catching up and playing xbox. It’s seven in the evening and ayaw pang umalis ni Carl.

“Wait, I’ll just get some juice.” Tumayo si Enia at naiwan kaming naglalaro ni Carl. Bigla siyang lumapit sa tabi ko’t I feel uneasy.

“Damn! Talo !” I was sure that I sound crazy saying and talking about the game just to stop Carl.

“Bakit di nagreply kanina? Susunduin sana kita.” aniya and Enia came back eyeing us. This is awkward.

“Ah, kasabay kasi namin sina Lindon kanina.”

“Namiss kita!” bigla niya akong inakbayan at isinandal yung ulo niya sa balikat ko. Iniwas naman ni Enia yung tingin niya samin. Ghad! This isn’t good. I tried to act cool and laughed a little.

“Ay nahulog.” Sinadya kong ihulog yung phone ko para mapulot ko ito at maalis yung ulo niya sa balikat ko. huhuhu yung phone ko sana di nagasgasan. Lord, save me ayokong magtampo si Enia sa akin.

“Wait lang I should call dad pala. Excuse lang.” I stood up and went to the side kunwari tumatawag. Nagseselos na si Enia. What should I do.

*beep*
Unknown :

You left your hanky at the hotel. I have it with me right now. I’m waiting outside.

Dumiretso ako sa pintuan at lumabas upang makita kung sino yun. I was stunned to see him. “Wil.” There’s a hint of ecstasy in my voice and I can’t help it.

“Your hanky.” Iniabot niya sa akin yung hanky ko.

“Avi who’s that?” pareho naming nilingon ni Wil sina Carl at Enia na lumabas din. Pareho silang nagulat na nandito si William.

“I think I need to go. Sige Avi-“ I cut him off.

“Ah, gusto mo pumasok muna? Nagdinner ka na ba?” tila nagulat si Wil sa sinabi ko. gahd! Ano ba yung sinabi ko?

“Uhm,” he seems confused.

“Nako William, kumain ka muna. We still have plenty of foods inside, di ba Avi?” at hinatak na ni Enia si William papasok sa loob. Sumunod na rin ako papasok, ayokong tingnan si Carl.

Tama bang ininvite ko siya? I was just bothered of him not talking to me.
