CHAPTER 13: First Move, Take a Chance...

(Zoe's POV)


I am driving myself going to the shop. I'm quite late. Medyo matagal kase akong bumangon kanina. Na stress ako about dun sa kagabi. Kung tutuusin, dapat di ko na iniisip yun kase alam ko naman na isa lang yung malaking biro pero di ko maiwasan na di mawindang. Kase naman eh, ugh!

Pagdating ko sa shop, ipinark ko na agad ang sasakyan ko at naglakad papunta sa entrance.

"Good morning Ma'am!" bati sa akin ni manong guard. Sobrang laki ng ngiti niya.

I smiled at him "Good morning din."

Pagbukas ko ng pinto, biglang bumungad sa akin si Clive na nasa center aisle dala ang isang gitara. Ano to? Mangangaroling siya? Sa pagkakaalam ko, matagal pa bago mag pasko. Naguluhan ako. I gave him a -What-the-hell-are-you-doing?- look

He gave me a very sweet smile and said, "Manghaharana ako, baka sakaling di mo naiintindihan Slowpoke."

What the hell! Harana? May ganun pa ba ngayon? At anong Slowpoke ang sinasabi niya?

"Slowpoke?" I questioned. Naguguluhan parin ako sa nagyayari. Bakit nasa harap siya? Bakit siya manghaharana? At bigla kong naalala ang sinabi niya kagabi... that he's gonna court me. Oh no! So ito na iyon?

"You're being slowpoke again."

I narrowed my eyes.

"You look cute when you're pissed. Kakantahan na lang kita para di ka na mainis." He said and began strumming his guitar. Marunong pala siya.

He started singing.


She's been beaten down

Trampled on.

She swore to herself that she'd never

Ever love again,


I would admit that he has a great voice. At bagay na bagay sa kanya ang pagigitara. Lalo siyang nagiging attractive.


For a while,

For a while.

'Cause love is for fools that's what she said


Yeah, only fools fall in love and guess what, I am one of them.


And she's insecure and she goes out the door

'Cause her hearts been broken too many times before

And she's insecure just like before.

But hey take a chance on me.


His scrutinizing eyes landed on me upon singing that line. Bahagya siyang ngumiti at di na maalis ang mata ko sa kanya.


'Cause somebody tore your heart

And threw it away

Never to come back again

No oh ouh whou.

Now you're terrified and now you're afraid to fall.


Everybody does. Once you get hurt, you could never avoid that feeling of being afraid that you might experience the pain same again.


But baby i know you're hurt but take a chance on me

My dear.

We'll pick up the pieces we'll pick up the pieces
