Samantha

Chapter 22

Ilang araw na lang ay birthday na ni Gab. Naisipan kong bumili ng regalo para sa kanya. Pero hindi pa ako nakapagdesisyon kung ano ang bibilhin.

I didn't know that buying a gift for someone could be this hard. Gab has everything. Wala along maisip na pweding ibigay sa kanya.

Siguro ay dadaan nalang ako sa bayan para maghanap ng maaring bilhin para rito.

Gab is at the factory. Weekend kaya may trabaho ito. Samantalang ako ay nandito sa school. Ngayon na ang meeting namin para sa gagawing plano para sa darating na prom.

Buong umaga kaming nagmeeting at tanghali na ng matapos. Marami kaming napag-usapan para sa disenyo ng venue at para sa mga activities sa gabing iyon.

Pagkatapos ng meeting ay kasama kong naglalakad palabas ng school si Josh. Ang student body president. Marami pa siyang suggestions. Sayang at kinapos kami sa oras. Sinabi ko sa kanyang imungkahi iyon sa susunod na meeting.

"It would also be nice if we will add some activities like a time for dedication. We can do that while having dinner. Anyone can write whatever they want to the person they liked and the MC can read it" he suggested. He is estatic and eager with his idea.

"I think that will be fun Josh. Pero syempre dapat piliin natin yung mga maayos lang na messages. Baka kasi may bastos o may messages na maaring makaoffend ng ibang tao" I commented.

Siguradong maraming magbibigay ng mensahe para kay Gab. Halos lahat ata ng babae sa school ay may gusto sa kanya.

"Of course, hindi natin isasali yung hindi magagandang mensahe. The messages should inspire and encourage the students" Josh agreed.

Marami pa making napag-usapan. Gusto kong kausap si Josh. Matalino kasi ito at marami akong natututunan sa kanya.

Paglabas ng gate ng school ay nakita ko si Gab na naghihintay. An angry frown creased his forehead while glaring at me.

Agad namang nagpaalam sa akin si Josh ng makita si Gab. Tumango ako sa kanya at mabilis itong umalis.

Lumapit ako sa boyfriend kong busangot pa rin ang mukha. He pressed his lips together into a thin line.

"What are you doing here? Akala ko nasa factory ka?" I asked him. Natutuwa along makita ito.

"What was that Sam?" He hissed, not answering my question. He crossed his arms, showing that he is not pleased with what he saw.

"What do you mean?" I asked, innocently. I leaned in closer to him. Astonished that this man still looked beautiful, even when furious.

"Bakit magkasama kayo ng lalaking yun?" He interviewed me in a flat voice. His lips pouted.

"Ah si Josh. President ng student counsil. Nagmeeting kami para sa prom." I expained. Marahan ko siyang inamoy. Ang bango nito.

"Bakit sabay kayong uuwi? Alam kong nanligaw yun sayo noon. Nanliligaw ba uli yon sayo ngayon?" he kept on, still not dropping the issue.

Paano niya nalamang nanligaw sa akin si Josh dati? That was already years ago. Hindi ko ito sinagot dahil si Rafael pa ang gusto ko noon.

"Hindi. Magkaibigan lang kami. Nagseselos ka ba?" I grinned widely. His hair looks a little messy, I playfully fixed it, using it as an excuse to touch him.

"Hindi. Bakit naman ako magseselos sa lalaking yun." He immediately denied it. He refused to admit his jealousy and pretends that he does not care and it is obvious that he is pretending.

"Oh ayan naman pala. Bakit ka galit?" malambing kong tanong sa kanya. I brushed some hair out of his forehead and gently held his face for a few seconds.
