Nics’ POV
The following morning, we went around the different spots in CamSur and tried their dishes. We also went shopping for souvenirs. Hapon na nang makabalik kami sa hotel.
Napagpasyahan naming lumabas ng hotel for dinner. Nauna akong lumabas para katukin ang mga pinsan ni Zeb nang may humila sa akin sa corridor ng hotel.
“Nicasia, let’s talk!” he said at hinila na ako papunta sa may hagdan kung saan walang makakakita sa amin.
We sat on the stairs.
“About what had happened at my condo.” He started. I just sat quietly.
“I just wanna let you know that it didn’t accidentally happen. I wanted it to happen because I like you.”
Napatitig ako sa kanya.
“I won’t ask you to break up with Zeb because I can see that he loves you and you also love him but just in case you have a change of heart, I am just here.”
Hindi ko alam kung ano ang dapat kong maramdaman. I know I like him or love him maybe kasi hindi naman mangyayari yun kung ayoko sa kanya eh. But it isn’t just the right time.
“If it’s not too much, can I ask how do you feel about what happened?” he added.
“Just consider it as a one-night stand, sanay ka naman sa ganun so it’s not a problem.”
“Is that how you see it?”
“Yeah! Just forget about it!” I said at tumayo na.
Zach’s POV
After Nicasia and I talked, I have decided na hindi na sasama sa kanila para magdinner. Nagdahilan nalang ako na masama ang pakiramdam ko.
I actually half-expected na ganun ang sasabihin niya becase I saw them last night talking heart to heart. Siguro naguilty si Nicasia sa nangyari sa amin.
I can see in Zeb’s eyes that he loves her. Pati rin naman si Nicasia, mukhang mahal na mahal niya ang pinsan ko. Siguro nga nagpadala lang siya sa temptation kaya nangyari yun sa amin.
Siguro walang nangyayari sa kanila ni Zeb intimately kaya niya nagawa yun. Kasi kung meron malamang di yun nangyari. I know she is a decent person.
Pero kung anuman ang dahilan niya, it doesn’t matter. Ginawa ko iyon sa kanya because I love her.
Yes, I have loved her for a thousand years…
Gusto ko na siya nung high school pa kaya wala akong pinalampas na performance niya noon.
But I never courted her. I distanced myself because I felt that it wasn’t just the right time. Bata pa kasi kami nun and I know na after grad pupunta rin kami ng US.
I want her to enjoy her life or maybe I wanted to enjoy my life first.
Dati kasi pag nakikita ko siya, fast forward lagi. Whenever I see her, I would imagine her taking care of our kids. Waiting for me to come home from the office. Never ko siyang naimagine na kadate at kaholding hands sa campus.
Kaya alam ko that time, I don’t want her for a girlfriend. I want her for a wife.
I have waited for years.
Siguro naman makakapaghintay ako until she finally realized na hindi si Zeb ang para sa kanya kundi ako.
Shit! Paano pag di nangyari yun?
Bahala na!!!
