Book Of Love

Pagkatapos namin sa mall kanina ni King ay inihatid agad ako nito sa bahay. Lalo na at may tumawag rito,  business matter as always. I understand that he's a busy person. After all,  he's a business man.

"Nagkita na kayo ni King? " tanong ni kuya pagkapasok ko ng bahay. He's sitting on the couch while there's a phone in his left head.

I show him my thumbs up to say yes as my answer to his question. I know he's talking to ate Cass again ,his girlfriend.

I wonder kung hindi ba sila nagsasawa kausap ang isa't isa?  I mean they are talking for all day long.Bakit kasi hindi na lang dalhin ni kuya dito si ate Cass?  Tutal kaming dalawa lang naman ang nandito ni kuya sa bahay. Well,  it's their life tho,  not mine.

Umakyat nako sa kwarto ko at nilock agad iyon. Mas gustong kong magbasa ng tahimik at walang nangingielam. Knowing kuya,  he likes disturbing me when I'm reading especially kapag wala siyang magawa.
Inialis ko agad ang supot at nilapag ko ang mga libro sa kama ko. What should I read first,  then?  Kanina ay atat akong makauwi dahil gusto ko ng magbasa,  ngayon naman ay hindi ko alam kung ano ang uunahin ko.

I decided to read this, Not your ordinary fairytale story .

Inalis ko sa agad pag kaka sealed ang libro. Binasa ko ang synopsis na nasa likuran ng libro.

Not all love story ends up in a beautiful way.

There are story that can end up in tragedy or painful goodbye.

We don't know what's gonna happen next. We dont know what may happen next.

One thing is for sure. That when you loved,  you'll get hurt.

Cliché? Everyone knows that tho. Pero kahit alam nilang masasaktan lang sila,  paulit ulit parin silang nagpapakatanga.

I don't know what's with this book. At naisipan kong bilhin ito. But what I've said it's not that bad to try something new.

Kung tutuusin napakasimple lang ng cover ng book. Pero wala naman sa cover yan eh.

The book is cover with whole black at ang tanging design lang nito ay ang red roses sa harapan and while it's title is written in a glamorous way.

Gothic kumbaga.

Vintage ang style ng papel na ginamit sa librong ito.I turn it to page one.Disclaimer ang nasa unahan nito. The book is published on the first of January on the year of 1994. It means na matagal na ang librong ito. Pero bakit ngayon ko lang ito nakita? 

Inilipat ko ito sa page two pero blangko ito. Inilipat ko ulit ito sa page three but the only thing that is written here is Chapter one,  nothing more nothing less. Ano ba namang libro ito at panay blangko ang pahina?

Ibinuklat ko ang lahat ng pahina nito at pare parehas itong blangko. What the hell?  Is this kind of something joke?  Well,  it's not funny.

But,  seriously? Ano pang sense ng librong ito kung wala naman akong mababasa?

I throw the book on the near trash can of my bed. Nagsayang lang ako ng pera for nothing. I thought it is a good book to read. Well,  sad to say sa lahat ng nabiktima at napeke ng librong iyon.

After a while,  kinuha ko ulit iyong libro. Sayang naman kung itatapon ko ito. Ang ganda pa naman ng quality,  and for Pete's sake napakaganda rin ng price, tsk. Maybe I should keep it as a remembrance for being a fool for buying a book that is, ugh. Forget about it.

Pinakatitigan ko ulit ang libro. I'm supposed to open the book again when someone suddenly knock on my door.

"Po?"
