Epilogue

Friend request sent.

I blinked many times when my friend request for her was sent. I can feel my heart beating so fast as if it's on a race. Ano kayang magiging reaksyon niya? Is she going to be happy? Magiging masaya kaya siya kapag nakita niya ang isang account na gamit ang pangalan ng paborito niyang fictional character ay nag-chat sa kanya? Or maybe she'll think I am a stalker slash poser. Or maybe a coward who doesn't have guts to talk to her using my real identity.

Ginulo ko ang aking buhok. Fudge, nababaliw na 'ko sa kakaisip sa magiging reaksyon niya.

Binasa ko ang istoryang kinahuhumalingan ni Eurika. The story of the guy she was crazy of. Axel Clinton's Brixford's story.

Binasa ko iyon kahit na corny para saakin ang mga gano'ng Wattpad stories. Tinapos ko iyon at kinabisado lahat ng nakakakilig na lines ni Axel doon.

I made a Facebook account using his name and sent a friend request to Eurika.

"Waaaah!" We ran immediately to Eurika's room when we heard her screamed at the top of her lungs. My heart beated faster after hearing those. Nag-aaalala akong baka may masamang nangyari sa kanya kaya dali-dali akong tumakbo papunta roon.

Natatawa ako nang makitang dahil lang pala iyon sa pag-add ko sa kanya. I hid my smile when I saw her priceless reaction. She's so cute. Oo mukha siyang baliw sa masyadong OA niyang reaksyon but darn, she looks so cute for my eyes.

For me, she's a person who has a fragile heart. Who needs someone to protect her in this world full of shits. At pakiramdam ko ay masyado akong selfish kung iisipin kong ako 'yon. Call me selfish or what, I don't care. I just want to own her. I just want to take care of her.

Axel Brixford :

Hey. Are you home? Did you do your assignments already? Baka nag-wawattpad ka na naman at hindi mo na magawa ang assignments mo ah.

I texted her when I got home. Gusto ko siyang makausap. Gusto kong pakiligin siya. Gusto kong mapangiti siya. And I think this is the way to do that.

I helped her with her assignment on Math. Alam kong nahihirapan at nalilito siya rito. Kaya tinutulungan at ginagabayan ko siya. She's smart. She can understand my instructions in solving the equations in no time. Isa sa mga bagay na hinangaan ko sa kanya.

We chatted for hours. Hindi mawala-wala ang ngiti sa aking labi habang ka-chat siya.

One time, I sent her a voice message. Alam kong hindi niya malalaman na ako ang ka-chat niya dahil hindi niya pa ako naririnig kumanta. I'm sure it won't be easy for her to recognize my voice when I'm singing.

When the day of her favorite author's booksigning came, I decided to call her on the phone using an unknown number. I tried to change my voice a little bit so she won't recognize me. At sa tingin ko ay epektibo 'yon. I can see her being so surprised when her chatmate called her.

"Trojan, Asawa ko!" I am surprised when Dawn tranferred to our school. She clings and follow me wherever I go. Yes, I know she likes me but I already told her that I like someone else. But she didn't stop. Patuloy pa rin siya sa pagdikit at pagsunod saakin which I find really annoying.

"Sorry, Trojan. Hindi muna ako makakapunta ngayon e. Hayaan mo babawi ako kay Tita. Ibibigay ko sa kanya ang regalo niya sa susunod." Sobrang dismayado ako nang marinig ang kanyang sagot nang imbitahan ko si Eurika sa birthday ni Mom. Pinagpapalit na ba talaga niya 'ko sa lalaking ito? Masama akong napatingin sa lalaking tinatawag nila Gillian na 'Boy Shy'.
