Heartbreak Girl

HG35. "Ako ang boss dito."

Chapter Thirty Five

That same day.

"Are you happy?" DJ asked, as he traced circular figures on the back of my palm.

"Of course." I answered smiling back at him.

"I'm sorry."

"Oh, bakit ka nagsosorry?" I asked.

We reached the front of our house.

He stopped walking and faced me, then held both of my hands.

"Kasi ngayon ko lang nagawa ito. Ngayon lang ako nagkalakas nang loob. I could have done it a long time ago, madali lang sana. Pero... I don't know, I was too stupid. I'm sorry." he apologized, looking at the floor.

He's so damn adorable.

I let go of his hands, tapos hinawakan ko yung mukha niya gamit ang dalawa kong kamay. He looked up to meet my eyes.

"Okay lang yun. Ang mahalaga, ngayon. You have a lifetime to pay back, diba?" sabi ko sa kanya.

He held my hands on his face.

"I love you." he stated.

My heart fluttered. He may have stated those three words a hundred times today, but it's still foreign for me.

Ang sarap pakinggan. Ang sayang isipin.

"I love you, too." I answered.

Then my heart started to thump beneath my chest and my mind started to wander.

DJ started to lean in. His face was just a couple of inches away.

He titled his head to one side, then leaned it.

But before he can even press his lips against mine, someone cleared his throat that caused us to pull away from each other.

"DJ, ang usapan natin, magiging girlfriend mo. Wala sa usapan ang first kiss." Daddy! Ugh, kung kailan yun na yun eh. Moment na yun eh, isang inch na lang.

DJ and I blushed furiously.

Hinawakan niya yung kamay ko tapos nagsalita, "Uhm, mauuna na po ako."

"Okay." sabi naman ni Daddy. "Ano pang hinihintay mo, DJ?"

"Daddy! Pumasok ka na nga. Papasok na lang ako mamaya." I scolded him and he chuckled in return.

"I'm just kidding kids. I'll get inside, baka magalit pa ang prinsesa ko." he stated and walked inside.

"Sorry about that." sabi ko.

"Goodnight, Kath." Once again, hinawakan niya ang magkabilang pisngi ko at inilapit ang mukha niya sa akin.

To my dismay, hinalikan niya ako sa ilong at noo. "Maybe next time, Kathy ko. Goodnight."

I was dumbfounded.

"Bye, DJ. Ingat ka, magtext ka pag nakauwi ka na ha? I love you." I stated sweetly and kissed his cheek.

"I love you." then he got inside his car and drove away.

It feels surreal. We were about to kiss, kung hindi lang kami ginulat ni Daddy.

Bakit parang ang bilis ng mga pangyayari? How come we got here too fast?

Something was strange, but at this moment, hindi ko na magawang isiping may iba pang nangyayari. I'm in a relationship with my best friend, with the one that I truly love. And I swear, there's nothing that could make me happier than that.
