Koko ➳ Kang Daniel [r18]

*:･ﾟ✧ Chapter 13 *:･ﾟ✧

"S-shania." Wala sa sarili na bigkas.

Napalingon sakin si Shania at nanlaki ang mata niya ng marealize kung sino ako.

"Kourtney!" Gulat na sabi niya sabay takbo uli palapit sa akin at niyakap ako.

"Oh my god! Hindi kita nakilala agad, I'm sorry!" Inilayo niya ang sarili niya sa akin at tinignan muli ako ng maigi.

"Mas tumangkad ka ata ah! OMG!"

Napatawa ako sa kakulitan niya, she's still the same as the last time I saw her. She still have the same charm that everyone would fall to, reason why Danik loved her. She's cute at babaemg babae, mahinhin and very sweet. Shania is a good girl and I actually have some good memories with her bago siya pumuntang korea to pursue college.

"Dito ka nag aaral?" Tanong niya sa akin.

Nandito kami ngayon sa isang coffee shop malapit sa campus. We want to catch up sa buhay ng isa't isa kaya naman ay niyaya niya ako. Tutal ay wala rin naman akong gagawin, pumayag na ako.

"Yup, ngayong senior high lang." I drink the iced coffee that I ordered.

"So, Daniel's here? I remember that this the only school na pinagexaman niya."

Napaiwas ako ng tingin. Why do I feel like I know where this topic is going to?

"Yup, dito siya, magkasama padin sila ni Matt." Sagot ko sa tanong niya. Lumawak ang ngiti niya dahil doon. Sabi na eh.

Danik and Shania is a great couple before. I can say that they really love each other, I know, because I witnessed it by my one eyes. How Danik always talk about Shania infront of our parents, at kung paano ako maging third wheel madalas sa kanila. I'm still young during that time, and I still don't have feelings for Danik so I don't really mind. Pero I know this time.

Napangiti ako ng mapait. My heart hurts like a bitch, gusto kong hawakan ang dibdib ko dahil sa biglaang pagkirot nito. I know that if ever na may gusto pa si Shania sa kaniya, malaki ang chance na magkabalikan sila. I don't really know if Danik's totally over her.

"S-should I call him over?" Suggest ko sa kaniya. Mas lumiwanag ang mukha niya at mas lumaki ang ngiti niya dahil doon. Kahit hindi siya sumagot ay alam ko na ang sagot.

I called Danik at hindi pa nakakatatlong ring ang phone ay sinagot na niya ito.

"Princess!" Masigla niyang pambungad. Naramdaman ko ang pag kirot nanaman ng dibdib ko sa simpleng boses niya lang. God.

"C-can you come here? S-sa cafe sa tabi ng campus." Tinignan ko si Shania na tuwang tuwa sa nangyayare at napangiti ako sa kaniya.

"Of course! Wait, papunta na!" Sabi niya at binaba ko na agad ang phone ko.

"He said that he's on his way na."

We talked for awhile about her life in Korea. Ang sabi niya ay she took Architecture as her course daw in college dahil narin sa business ng family niya and also it's Danik and Shania's dream. Umuwi sila ng family niya dahil hindi na daw napagtutuunan ng pansin ang business nila dito sa Pinas at gusto ng parents niya na mag focus uli dito.

Napatingin ako sa malaking window glass sa gilid ko at nakita ko si Danik na kakababa lang sa sasakyan. Nagliwanag ang mukha niya ng makita ako at tumakbo papasok ng cafe.

"Yah! Ba't umalis ka agad, kala ko galit kana talaga."

His smile slowly fades at medyo bumagal ang pag lapit niya dito ng lumingon si Shania sa kaniya. Mapait ako na napangiti. It's like some scene in a romance movie. Where the leading lady and leading man find their way back on each other's arm, and of course, as an extra sa love story nila. I quietly walk outside the cafe without looking back. My heart feels heavy, na parang binibiyak sa maraming parte.

I stopped at the cafe's door for awhile at napatitig sa langit. Its okay Koko. Everything will be fine.

"Hay nako." Rinig ko na boses sa gilid ko. Nagulat ako ng makita si Matt sa gilid ko na nakasandal sa pader ng cafe.

Lumapit siya sa akin at inakbayan ako. "Minsan talaga mga tao hindi mo alam kung tanga or nag tatanga tangahan lang eh." Sabi niya bigla out of nowhere. Nagtataka ko siya na tinignan, tumawa siya at ginulo ang ibabaw na buhok ko kaya naman bahagya ko syang tinulak at inismiran.

"What are planning this time Koko? Playing cupid's role?" Sinulyapan ko si Matt na nasa passenger seat ng sasakyan ko.

"Its obvious that they are still inlove with each other." Simple ko na sabi.

"How are you so sure? Tinanong mo ba si Daniel kung sino gusto niya?" Seryosong tanong niya. I'm not comfortable with the topic kaya naman ay hindi ko nalang ito sinagot. Ibinaba ko si Matt sa gate ng campus dahil may klase pa daw siya at nahatak lang naman daw siya ni Daniel doon.

I didn't ask Daniel about that but I know. I just feel like it is the right thing to do.

Tinuloy ko ang plano ko kanina. Wala akong ibang alam na pupuntahan that I can be alone but I think I just need some fresh air to breathe so I can think properly.

I decided to go the seaside of Mall Of Asia. Nothing new but at least medyo malayo layo and I just want to go somewhere, kahit saan. Next timw i'll search for a better place to go. Out of town perhaps?

Hapon na ng makarating ako doon. Its a weekday so medyo onti lang ang tao, some rides are open at ang malaki ferris wheel ay umaandar din. Pumunta muna ako sa isang ice cream shop at kumain ng banana split, my kind of dessert when I'm feeling down. After that ay pumunta na ako sa maliit na wall na pupwedeng upuan at lakaran ng mga tao.

I will always love how the sunset looked. It always reminds me that no matter what happened in your day, it can always end beautifully.

Inilabas ko ang phone ko and I took a picture of it and posted in on my instagram account.

As the sun disappear, my heart starts to feel heavy again. My brain started to think of Danik again. So many what ifs. What if they still love each other like how I expect it to be? What if they decided to gave it a second try? What if Danik really love her until now? Should I just accept it? Of course I should, I don't have the rights in the first place, but it freaking hurts just to imagine Danik being with the girl he truly loves and the fact that, that girl will never be me.

Ipinagtabi ko ang tuhod ko at ibinaon ang mukha ko doon when I feel tears starting to fall from my eyes as I realize and finally accept the fact that,

I'm really inlove with Daniel Kang.
