To Love Someone (SharDon)

KABANATA 10

Surprised

Hindi sya galit kay Mariko. Iyon ang totoo. She walked out because she felt like it was the right thing to do. She wants to prove a point, alright. She's honestly offended, but she is not mad at her friend.

She perfectly understand that she really is kind of an introvert person. She doesn't like talking to anyone and it scares her real bad.

And to Mariko; who is just suggesting things that would probably help her, she's thankful but she can't deny the fact that she's offended.

Hindi nya mawari kung tama nga ba ang ginawa nyang pagtanggap kay Donny. Sa oras na iyon ay nagawa nya ng kwestiyunin ang sariling desisyon. Tama nga ba iyon o hindi?

May mali ba sa pakikipagkaibigan?

Wala. Unless, you befriended someone for a purpose. When it is intentional and with motive. It's not making friends, it's using someone. That's how it is.

Iniiling nya ang ulo. Bakit hindi iyon ang nararamdaman nyang pinakadahilan ng pakikipagkaibigan nya kay Donny?

"Ate."
She was woken up from her deep reverie when her little brother Clark called her. Nasa may pintuan na ito ng kwarto nya at nakahawak sa doorknob. Nakaawang ng kaunti ang kanyang pinto at hindi iyon ganoong lantad ang pagkakabukas.

"Ano yun?"
Tanong nya dito.

Mas binuksan pa ng kapatid nya ang kanyang pintuan. Giving her the sight of her little brother's figure.

Clark's wearing a Lakers jersey with Kobe Bryant's number. Ang pambaba nito ay terno rin sa pang itaas nitong jersey.

"Your friend is here."
Sabi nito sa kanya.

Hindi nya alam kung bakit gusto nyang babain kaagad si Mariko. Matapos siguro nya itong iwan sa school kanina ay nag alala ito sa kaniya kaya narito at gusto syang kausapin. She isn't really mad at Mariko at all. She's just proving a point. Arte arte lang iyon.

"Tell my friend to come to my room."
Kausap nya sa kapatid at agad na nitong isinara ang kanyang pintuan.

Nagdesisyon syang pumunta na muna sya sa kanyang banyo at nagpalit ng mas preskong damit dahil pakiramdam nya ay sobrang init ng panahon kahit nakabukas naman ang kanyang aircon. She wore a sleeveless white top that highlighted her little curves at ang kanyang volleyball shorts na kulay itim.

Itinali nya ang buhok sa isang mabilisang high ponytail. Hindi nya na inalintana na medyo magulo iyon dahil si Mariko lang naman iyon.

Kahit sino naman. Literal syang walang pakealam.

Pagkatapos nyang magbihis ay mabilis syang lumabas at isinara na ang pinto ng kanyang banyo.

"Shar."
She was about to turn her head when she heard the voice.

It wasn't Mariko's voice. She's sure of that.

"S-shar.."
Nautal na tawag nito sa kanya. The voice is kinda low and raspy.

Sa pagkakataong iyon ay nagkaroon na sya ng idea kung sino ang pumasok sa kwarto nya at kung sino itong sinasabi ni Clark na kaibigan nya.

How did he get here?

Mabilis nyang nilingon ito.

His familiar tall built is screaming of masculinity. His dreamy eyes and dimples were showing as he smiles fondly at her. Ang maaalon nitong pilik mata at nangungusap na mga mata ay nakatunghay sa kanya.

With his simple white shirt hanging on his firm body ay nasilip nya ng kaunti ang leeg at kung titignan ay malapad at matigas nitong dibdib sa ilalim ng white shirt na napapatungan ng denim jacket na suot nito.
