Chapter 16 - Unexpected Invites

"How was your date last night, batchy?" I heard someone asked with a teasing tone habang nag jojogging kami dito sa open field.

I immediately look at the person's direction ng may kunot sa noo ko.

"I saw you last night, batchy." she confidently said "Don't try to deny it dahil hindi ako maniniwala." she said habang tinataas baba ang kilay "Ikaw ah, di mo sinasabing nag dadate na pala kayo ni Paula."

"Hindi naman ako mag dedeny na hindi ko siya kasama kahapon, batchy." sabi ko "Pero gusto kong iklaro dyan amalisyosa mong utak na hindi kami nag date kahapon." saka inalis ang tingin sa kanya.  "it's not a date. I'm not dating the captain of the Women's Basketball team."

She chuckled and it sounds like my dear friend, Justine is not buying it. "So,  anong tawag mo dun?" tanong niya sa akin ng may halong pang aasar.

Well, Good thing at hindi ako naka tingin sa kanya dahil kung hindi she'll just see confusion and disappointment. Bagay na mag dadagdag pa ng tanong na hindj ko gustong sagutin.  Sa totoo lang hindi ko  naman alam ang tawag o kung may tama bang salita sa ginawa naming pag labas kahapon.

I know for a fact that it wasn't a date. Yes,  I love her and I like the idea na merong 'kami',  but I don't want to live in a make up world. There are so much at stake. Hindi lang naman puso ko ang nakataya,  there is more than that. Maraming nakasalalay sa magiging desisyon ko and I don't have the guts to risk it all.

Isa pa, I don't think there is possibility between me and the coldblooded captain of WBT. Masyadong contradicting ang ugali naming dalawa. Kaya nga kahit mag kaibigan eh hindi ata kami papasa. Kaya hindi din katanggap tanggap kung sasabihin kong nag hang out kami ni Gonzales dahil hindi kami mag kaibigan. We are far from being friends. We're just acquaintend with each other.

Reality hit me ng siniko ako ni Justine.

Huminga ako ng malalim saka sumagot "I owe her something, batchy. Kaya para makabayad ako, nilibre ko siya." I said with all honesty. Wala namang rason para itago ko pa ang totoo kung bakit kami pumunta ng mall. At kung bakit nangyari ang nangyari kahapon.

What happened yesterday keeps on playing inside my head like a broken record. It lingers on my head making me awake all night.  Dahit kahit isa na lang iyong alaala, it still makes me feel the exact feeling that I felt.

It makes me feel giddy, but confused at the same time.

It ia confusing because ibang iba yung Paula Gonzales na kasama ko kahapon kesa sa Paula Gonzales na kilala ko. Hindi ang babaeng yelo ang kasama ko kahapon. And if it was her,  mukhang mula sa pagiging yelo ay natunaw siya. She was nothing but nice. Though,  binabara niya ako but it wasn't that offensive. She talks to me like we were friends. That we are more than acquainted. 

I heard Justine chuckle reason para bumalik ko sa sarili ko "so, it's not a date." she said  "Akala ko pa naman confirmed talaga yung sinasabi nila na birds with the same feathers flocks together."

Kunot noong binalingan siya ng tingin "huh?"

"Don't play on me, batchy." she said playfully.

"I'm not playing on you, batchy.  Hindi kita gets." I told her

She chuckled "Gusto mo talagang marinig out loud ah." she said and grin on me. "What I want to say is that, akala ko tulad ka na talaga sa amin ni Acacia na may gusto sa tulad nating galing sa lahi ni Eba."

Nang marinig ko yung sinabi niya ay mabilis kong tinakpan ang bibig niya saka lumingon sa paligid. Nang masiguradong walang nakarinig sa sinabi niya ay agad ko siyang binitawan.
