Learning How To Love Again

Happy

“Knowing that your love ones were happy, you'll be happy too and is the best feeling you'll ever feel.”

When I was already in front of Mr. Villafuerte's office door, I turn around to check if nakasunod ba si Louis sa akin.

He was biting his lower lip and when his eyes met mine, ngumiti siya habang nakalip-bite.

I have these feeling lately. Kinakabahan, naggo-goose bumps, nagba-blush at minsan tulala.

Pero sa mga ginagawa niya, isa lang ang bagay na tunay at siguradong naramdaman ko, happiness.

Ang feeling na matagal ko nang namiss. Ang feeling na nabawasan nang nawala si Mom at ang feeling na tuluyang nawala nang nawala sa buhay ko si Dad, si Coleen at si Sanny.

But I'm happy again when Coleen came back and I feel more happy when I met and knew Louis.

"Let's get inside?" My thoughts cut off by his question.
"Ahm.. Okay." Sabi ko nalang.

He knocked the door before he open it. Pumasok kami at nakita namin si Johnny na nakaupo sa kanyang swivel chair.

"Hey. How's your 1st night in your hotel room?" Pambungad niya. He's wiggling his brows while smiling.
Masasabi ko talagang hyper na tao 'tong si Johnny and talkative.

"Shut up Johnny. Let's just talk about business." Sita ni Louis kay Johnny.

"Okay okay. Have a seat." He said while pointing the other swivel chairs.
Bumaling ang tingin niya sa akin then ngumiti siya. Ngumiti lang din ako sa kanya.

"Hey! Why are you smiling at her like that?" Louis asked Johnny.

"Bawal ba? I'm just being friendly bro." Sabi ni Johnny na nakangiti.

"I don't trust you bro." Biro niya kay Johnny.

"Okay fine. By the way let's talk about the deal." Bumaling ang tingin niya kay Louis.

As they started to talk, I started to jot down all of the important matters. Parang wala naman silang hindi napagkasunduan.

They're really cute.

Knowing that they're cousins and they're both talking about business. Nakakatuwa lang.

"So... Deal?" Johnny asked Louis.

"Deal." Louis said and he smiled at Johnny.

"So what's your plan? You're going home already or staying for the rest of the week?" Napatingin ako kay Louis na nag-aantay kung anong isasagot niya kay Johnny.

"Well... It depends on Lalaine." Sabi ni Louis.

And they're both looking at me now.

"Huh? Ahm me? Why me?" Uutal-utal kong sabi.

"Seems like you guys are undecided. But, if you'll choose to stay for days, just let me know because that's not a problem. The beach is all yours. Supportive cousin here.." Johnny winked at Louis.

"Thanks bro. We'll talk about it later." Sabi ni Louis. He pulled me by the hand para umalis na at sinabing, "See ya bro."

Nang nakalabas na kami ay dumiretso kami sa kwarto namin.

"So... yun na yun? Bakit mo ako pinaimpake for a week trip?" Nakakunot-noo kong tanong.

"Because whatever you'll say, I'll date you. I want to spend the whole week with you." He said, giving me his sweetest smile.

Nawala ang kunot ng noo.
Nakakatuwang isipin. Nakakatuwang pakinggan.

"I wanna wander the whole beach and resort." Yan nalang ang sinagot ko. Hindi ko kasi alam anong sasabihin lalo na't nafi-feel ko na namumula ako.
