Book Of Love

Page 1

"Hey, Miss!Watch out!" Sabi ko sa babaeng nakabangga sa akin for the third time.

What's with the hurry? What's the matter? I shrugged with my thought. Why do I care?

Maybe may isang shop lang ang nag sale today,  especially christmas is coming.  Yeah, baka ganoon nga yun.

I started walking again until I reach the bookshop where I'm supposed to buy my new book collection.

Walang gaanong tao rito,well, other people find reading boring, right?  Kaya hindi na ako magtataka na kakaunti lang ang mga taong nagpupunta rito.

"Good morning Ma'am! " The guard greeted on me.  I smiled. Suki na ako sa bookshop na ito dahil dito ako palagi bumibili ng mga librong babasahin ko.

While looking for a book ay may isang librong naka agaw ng atensiyon ko. Not your ordinary fairytale story. 

Hmm. This is the first time I've seen this book. Tinignan ko kung sino ang author nitong book , anonymously.

I'm not into romance stories.Im not also a fan of fairytale.But I guess its not that bad to give it a try.

Hindi familiar sa akin ang author. But still kukuhanin ko na lang,  it looks like interesting. Nag iisa na lang yata itong librong ito dahil wala na akong makitang kagaya pa nito.

Maybe after all it's a good story. Dahil hindi naman bebente ang isang libro kung hindi maganda ang nilalaman nito.  Unless they just really a fan of the author.

Nang kukuhanin ko na ang libro ay may humawak rin nito.

"Uhm..excuse me? Pero ako ang nauna. " I said pero hindi sya bumitaw.

I looked at the person.  Naka mask ito at nakasuot ng hoodie. I can't see clearly his face dahil bahagya itong nakayuko.

"Pardon me, Mr. But I said I got it first. " Hinila ko ang libro sakanya kaya napabitaw sya roon at walang sabing tinalikuran ko sya.

"Ms... "

Napatigil ako sa paglalakad but I didn't look at him,  i've waited for him to speak again pero hindi na nito dinugtungan ang sasabihin niya kaya nilingon ko ito just to find out that the guy has disappeared. Where did he go?  Oh, well atleast I got the book.

Pagkatapos kong kumuha ng mga libro ay naglakad nako papuntang counter para mabayaran ko na ang mga librong kinuha ko.

"Another book to read again, Ma'am?  Well,  enjoy reading and don't hesitate to come back again, Ma'am. "

" Surely ,I will. " I said with a smile on my face.

Maybe I should go buy some foods to eat at the house while Im reading this books.

Pagkatapos kong mabayaran ang libro ay lumabas na ako ng bookshop. I am supposed to go in the supermarket when someone called my name.

"Elle!"

"Elle!"

Before I can faced the one whose calling me,  naramdaman kong may yumakap sakin mula sa likuran.

"Yan stop it!"

Amoy palang ng pabango nitong lalaking ito ay alam ko na agad na si Yan ito.

"Prince Bryant Fajardo,  I said stop. We are in a public place. You know there's a lot of judgemental eyes here. "

"Okay , okay,  fine. So,what are you doing here?"

Tanong niya. Itinaas ko ang hawak hawak kong plastic na may libro sa loob.

"Oh! Books again,  nothing changed. "

"Tapos tinatanong mo ako kung anong ginagawa ko rito? Seriously,  tsk. "

He just laughed at me. Damn this guy. Pasalamat sya at best friend ko sya.

"Ehem."

Nag angat ako ng kilay. So,  he's really back.

"Oh!What does the Great King Tyler Fajardo doing here? " I asked but he just smiled.

"Come here and give me a hug!" He said kaya naman ay lumapit ako sakanya at yumakap.

"Woah woah, mukhang nakaka abala ata ako. I'll go first. Sumunod na lang kayo."

Bryan tap King's shoulder before going.

"Kailan ka pa nakauwi? Bakit hindi mo man lang ako sinabihan? Para sana nakasama akong sunduin ka sa airport. "

"Maybe this isn't the right place to have some chitchats?"

Tumingin ako sa paligid namin at nakitang halos lahat nakatingin sa amin ang mga tao. Who wouldn't be?

There is just a gorgeous man who's standing in front of me. Right. Sino nga bang hindi, diba?

Dinala ako ni King sa isang restaurant para makapag usap kami ng maayos.

"How are you? " I asked.

"I am the one who supposed to ask you that, so, how are you? "

I shrugged.  " Still the same, nothing changed. How about you?  How's life in London?"

"Silly. I've just stayed there for about three months and god knows how much I missed you. Damn it. " He said and then he pinch my cheek. Sinaway ko. Ang sakit niya kasi mangurot. He just laughed.

"Wait. I need to go on the Cr. Just wait me for a while. " Sabi ko at tumayo na. Habang naglalakad ako ay hindi ko napansing may biglang dumaan sa harap ko.

"Ouch! "

"Elle! "

Inalalayan ako ni King na makatayo dahil sa malakas na pagkabangga ko duon sa lalaking biglaang dumaan.

"Hey Mr, it will be a rude for us if you're not going to apologize. "

Tumigil ang lalaki pero hindi ito humarap samin. He's kinda familiar tho.

"Its ok,hayaan mo na. My fault too, hindi ko napansing may dadaan pala."

Tumingin ako duon sa nakabangga o bumangga sa akin. Napapikit ako ulit ng makitang sya yung lalaki kanina sa bookshop. Bahagya itong humarap sa amin pero hindi ko parin makita ang mukha niya dahil naka suot ito ng hoodie,  hindi man lang nito ibinaba ang suot niya.

"Next time be careful. " Inalalayan ako ni King hanggang sa makarating ako sa Cr. 

Bago ako pumasok sa cr ay nakita kong lumabas ng restaurant yung lalaki kanina. He stop for a while and then he start to walk again.

That guy is weird.

Pagpasok ko ng cr ay tumingin agad ako sa salamin.

A set of two brown eyes. Which is my eyes.  I snapped myself. What am I thinking?

Inilabas ko sa supot ang librong binili ko. Not your ordinary fairytale story .

There's something about this. Parang hinihila niya ako na basahin na ito.

Ipinasok ko ulit iyon sa plastic at naghugas ng kamay at umalis na ako ng cr.

"What took you so long? " Tanong ni King pagkalabas ko.

Umiling ako.

"No. Nothing. " I forced a smile.

Nauna na akong maglakad sakanya at sumabay naman sya.

"May gagawin ka pa ba? Or do you want me to take you home? "

"Dadaan muna ako ng supermarket,  I'm going to buy some stuffs for the house. " tumango sya sa sinabi ko.

"Okay then, I'll go with you. "

While walking our way on the supermarket it feels like is someone is looking at me.

I shrugged at that thought. Maybe you're just hallucinating Elle.
