Chapter 4

Until now I still can't get over of what Ricci had said last time.

Parang napaka-hirap mag sink in. It sounds so surreal. I felt like butterflies kept fluttering inside me as he said those words.

But me, being the usual stupid me, just laughed it all off.

"Parang last week like lang ngayon love na? Iba ka talaga!" Humalakhak ako to lighten up the mood.

I heard him sigh.

"You're never really gonna take me seriously, are you?"

"Hala siya? Seryoso naman ako a!" I defended.

"Tss. Seryoso kana sa lagay na yan? I just told you how I feel, yet pinagtawanan mo lang."

"Pano ba dapat ako magre-react? Ricci, alam mong hindi tayo pwede."

Now I turned serious. Iyon ang hanap niya e.

"Bakit hindi? Why do you keep saying that?" He sound so pissed.

"Sikat ka, ordinaryong tao lang ako. Magkaiba ang mundong ginagalawan natin." I said as a matter of fact.

"O edi sige, gagawa tayo ng paraan para sumikat. Same na tayo ng mundong gagalawan."

I rolled my eyes, this time siya naman ang hindi nagseseryoso.

"That's not what I meant. I want a normal life Ricci, a life out of the limelight."

"Yun lang pala e. Diba sabi ko nga sa kanta, I'd give up everything I have just for you."

Seryoso ba siya jan? For a girl like me? No way. Hindi ko siya hahayaan.

"Ricci you don't give up anything you've worked hard for just for someone you don't even know personally." I said in a low tone.

"At tsaka malay mo kawatan pala ako diba. Kidnapin kita jan." I joked.

"Please lang wag kang magbitiw ng salita na hindi mo paninindigan." Aniya.

"Ano?" I giggled.

"Sabi mo kikidnapin mo ako? Ano na? I'm waiting."

I laughed hard because of his silliness.

"Nagbibiro lang ako, baliw to! Ikaw lang nakilala kong willing magpa-abduct."

"Syempre, kung ikaw ba naman e choosy pa ba ako?"

And then our conversation goes on and on. Kung saan-saan na nalilihis ang topic. Ganun naman lagi e, sisimulan niya sa feelings niya pero gumagawa ako ng way para ma-divert sa iba ang usapan.

I admit that I have fallen for him, deeply. But I know my place.

Anyway, now is the finals game of La Salle. It's game two already, too bad they lost sa game one.

Halos buong magdamag nag-rant si Ricci sa akin that time. He even blamed me and said na kung nanood sana ako edi panalo sila. Tinawanan ko nalang siya.

And so I told him na I'll try to watch live, kaso 0.01% chance lang na makakapunta ako kung sakali.

Kumalma siya nung sinabi ko iyon. He held onto that chance, ang sabi niya ay 0.01 is still 0.01, kaya kakapit siya even to the least possible chances.

Medyo kinilig ako. Kasi syempre nakikita ko na he's really serious of wanting to see me. Pero wala parin akong balak magpakita, I'll just tease him.
