He's My Hero and I'm His Princess [on-hold]

Chapter 18

Maddy’s POV

Kinausap kami ni Ethan kaninang umaga. Sinabi nya yung desisyon nya na gawin yung advice namin, para sa ikabubuti ni Iya. Buti naman at nagdecide na si Ethan na bigyan ng space si Iya. From damsel-in-distress, kailangan maging heroine si Iya. Yun lang yung paraan para maka move on sya.

Bakit ba kasi nasabi ni Ethan yon? Ganoon ba talaga ang tingin nya kay Iya? Hindi naman nya masasabi yon kung walang halong truth eh. Kung ganoon ang tingin nya kay Iya, paano pa sakin? Whatever! Buti na lang naka get-over na ko sayo Ethan.

Palabas na ko ng bahay nang makita ko si Carl. Kailangan daw naming mag-usap. Maybe it’s about tomorrow. Saturday na ngayon at bukas na yung reunion.

“It’s about tomorrow, right? Pwede bang mamaya na lang? Pupunta ako ng hospital eh.”, sabi ko.

“Sasama ko sayo. Sa biyahe na tayo mag-usap.”

Ano bang pumasok sa utak nitong frog na to at nagmamadali sya?

“Fine.”

Habang bumiya-biyahe kami, sinabi nya yung encounter nya with his parents.

“Oh.. my... gosh!! I’m gonna kill my parents. I’m gonna kill Tita. And then I’m gonna kill Iya.”, I’m so angry!!!

“What’s done is done. Anong plano mo?”, tanong nya.

“Yun pa rin. After this Sunday, break na tayo. Let’s stick with that.”

“That might work for you, but not for me.”

“Why?”

“They’ll think I’m just trying to hide you. By saying nag break na tayo pero hindi naman.”

“Hah? Pero bakit? Paano kapag ako ang nagsabi na break na tayo? Tara puntahan natin yung parents mo sa Monday.”

“Ganoon pa din. Iisipin nila na nagtatago lang tayo. Sino ba namang nagkakabf o gf na after a week nag break agad? And right after pa ng isang family event?”

I can see his point actually.

“Eh di anong gagawin natin? Ituloy lang ang pagpapanggap?”

“For now?... I don’t think we have much of a choice.”

That’s.....

So....

Not....

FAIR!!!...

“How long?”, buti kalmado pa yung boses ko. Sa loob loob ko sobrang naba bad trip ako.

“For as long as it takes, I guess.”, WHAT?

“Haha. No.”, yung tawa ko sarcastic.

“Hey, I don’t like it as much as you do. Alam mo namang si Iya ang gusto ko di ba?”

“Oo. At sya rin ang may kasalanan kung bakit tayo nasa ganitong sitwasyon!”

“Well... It’s not like it’s unfair to you.”

WHAT DID HE JUST SAID?

“Excuse me?”

“You know. It’s not like may gusto kang tao na pwede mong maging boyfriend.”

Aba talagang...!!

“Ha. Hindi naman yon yung unfair eh. Ang unfair dito, is IKAW yung iniisip nilang bf ko. You’re so not up to my standards.. frog.”, huh! Kala mo ha.
