Sinungaling
Mabilis nga talagang natapos ang mga araw kapag masaya ka.
When I'm with Lucas, everything is completely perfect. Our jokes. Ang kanyang pagiging seloso. Ang mga tampuhan namin na paliit nang paliit. Our dates and his suprises.
"Happy weeksary!" He laughed then he snaked his hand on my waist. He kissed my cheek. Hahalikan niya pa sana ang kabila kong pisngi pero umilag ako. May hawak pa siyang cake.
He groaned when I prevent him from kissing me.
I looked into what he put in my hands. Then my eyes widened. I gulped. No, I don't think I can accept this.
"Lucas, where did you get the money to buy this?" Baling ko sa kanya.
He just fucking gave me a bracelet. A bracelet in a famous brand. Hula ko ay mahal ito. No, I will not accept this.
Napawi ang ngisi niya.
Umiling ako. "Hindi ko ito matatanggap." I said then I closed the box.
His forehead creased. "Why?"
I know that it is wrong to reject a gift but his gift is too much. Hindi ito kayang tanggapin.
Umiling ako. "Sobrang sobra na ito Lucas." I pointed the cake.
"Ayaw mo ba sa bracelet?" He asked. "I can give you a necklace or an anklet, kung ayaw mo niyan."
Umiling agad ako. "No!" I said. "Gusto ko ito, pero hindi ko matatanggap."
He sighed. "That's my gift for you. For our weeksary." Sabi niya. He put the cake on the other bench. "Please accept this."
He opened the box with the bracelet on it. It is beautiful.
"Lucas, please." I closed the box. "Hindi mo na kailangan pang bigyan ako ng magarbong regalo. Okay na sa akin iyong kumain tayo sa labas." I smiled at him.
He nodded th
en he kissed my forehead.
I smiled at him. "Kainin na natin itong cake?"
He nodded then I saw the ghost of a smile.
He was just staring at me. Kahit nang hatiin ko ang cake ay pinapanood niya lang ako. Nang makapag-ayos ay binigay ko sa kanya ang isang slice.
