Fat Zaki

10

I still can't believe what Luke confessed to me. Is he insane or drugged thats why he's acting weird? I don't know. But deep inside me somethings want to burst out. Happiness. Thats the word.

6am. I hurriedly went outside dapat maaga ako para di nako mapahiya ulit. God I cant stand na maulit muli yung pangyayaring yun. Baka di ko na kayanin.

Suddenly I saw him. Yes. Its Luke. He's smiling at me. Strange it is. Ngayon ko lang sya nakitang sobrang maaliwalas ang pagmumukha.

"Hi"
Shit. Hi palang nya para nakong malulunod.

"Hello" nakakahiya damn

"Lets go babe" then he opened the door for me. Gentleman naman pala. Halos di ako magkasya sa door ng kotse nya so pinilit kong wag huminga para makapasok. Anubanamanyan Zaki! Teka, he said "babe?" Did I hear it then?

School~

Nakayuko lang ako habang papasok kami. Sobrang kabado ako. Yung tipong halos lalabas na sa chest ko yung puso ko sa sobrang kaba. Iba't ibang mata ang nakikita ko. May mga naguguluhan. May mga matang nanghuhusga, nandidiri, nasusuka, galit at yung iba naman tumatawa.

"Relax" he said then he hold my hand. Sabay kaming pumasok ng classroom.

Confused. Yan ang nakita ko sa mukha ng mga classmates namin. Lalo na si Lee. Sadness and pain were written on his face. If thats so, why he would be?

"Guys, listen. I'm gonna court Zaki okay? So that means you would treat her nice, clear?" Announce nya sa klase namin. Napa oo nalang silang lahat. Buti nalang wala pa si Maam Sabug huhuhu

Nakita kong nagdadabog si Althea. Pssh! Di nya ata matanggap na liligawan ako ni Luke HAHAHAHA kahit ako di ko padin ma absorb sa utak ko e

I turn my vision to Lee. Tahimik lang sya. Nakayuko. Gusto ko syang lapitan at kausapin. Pero may biglang dumating.

"Don't you dare sit beside him. Dito ka lang sa tabi ko umupo"- Luke

"Okayyy"

And the rest was history....

"Mom! I'm okay now wag mo nang banggitin yun duh" I rolled my eyes. Di na dapat pang balikan ang mga nangyari na. At nilantakan ko ulit yung chocolates ko. I'm no afraid of getting fatter again 'coz I do work outs thrice a week.

"You said so, osige na I'm gonna cook dinner for us umalis si Manang Loleng e" Mom said while smiling

"Lock the door Mom, tulog muna ako"

6 years had passed, andami nang nangyari sa buhay ko. Career and studies went smooth. Love life is nothing but zero. There's a lot of guys who tried to court me back in New York but they all failed. Ayoko munang mag boyfriend. Na trauma ata ako. Sariwa pa yung sugat sa puso ko.

"Zak, will you be my girlfriend?" Luke proposed to me at the back of our old building

Teary eyed and shocked was written all over my face.

"YES! YES LUKE! Girlfriend mo na ako!" Tears began to flow again. I can't believe this could be happening. Never in my life I imagined this romantic scene I'm feeling right now. Sana di na matapos to...
