Getting Over You

Chapter VII

May bago akong iba-blinddate sa'yo at-

Stop it, Susie! Hindi ka na nadala! raised eyebrows Griff said.

E, I thought the reason why you dislike Jace is that your aware that he is the type of man who didn't take girls seriously. nagseseryoso sa babae. Of course, though you believe that you can't give a commitment to a guy, maybe if you'll meet a guy is a guy who will pursue you and gives you an assurance that you will have a comfortable life with him, maybe you'll give in. I mean, you can consider him as-

No! Whatever kind of man you'll gonna introduce to me, I still really don't want it!

Pero-

Ayoko!

Griff, bakit ka ba ganyan? Kung ayaw mo ng lalaki sa buhay mo, bakit hindi ka na lang mag-anak? At least, may makakasama ka sa pagtanda mo.

Susie! That's ridiculous!

I know, of course I know! Pero aanhin mo naman ang mga kabuhayang ipupundar mo at gusto pang ipundar kung wala ka man lang anak? Kung iyon ba naman ay pinatulan mo muna si Jace para magkaanak ka. Ang ganda ng genes ni Jace, ano? Isa syang Uy at-

At huwag kang makulit, umiinit ang ulo ko!

Natameme si Susie, saka naiiling na lang na nagpaalam nang lalabas sa kanyang office.

Hmp! May gusto na naman syang ipakilala, but until now I can't get over Jace! Until now, I can't still forget the kiss we've shared.

She sighed and take a look on her cellphone at the top of her table.

Hindi na talaga sya tumawag o nag-text man lang! It's almost a week already since the last we saw each other. Or, he's afraid when I said that maybe I am the type of afraid to fall-in love, but if I fall in love becomes crazy type of girl! Hmp! Hindi kaya ano? I can cotrol my heart! At ano nga iyon? Patulan ko si Jace to be the father of my child? Naman! That's really absurd! Ayoko nga!

Kaya sa mga sumunod pang mga araw, pinilit na lang nyang kalimutan na minsan ay may nakilala syang nagngangalang Jace Uy.

Ang gaganda ng chika babes dito, ano? Madaming bagong GRO! Jericho said.

Tila walang narinig si Jace, lampas-lampasan lang ang tingin nya sa stage kung saan may 2 sexy-pole dancer na nagsasayaw.

Parehong naka-two-piece ito kaya halos wala ng itinago.

That's why the eyes of all the man watching them are full of admiration and sensuality.

But for Jace, that scenery is nothing. His mind was occupied by something, or by someone.

Hey! Jericho said while he taps his shoulder.

Ha! Ano kamo?

Ang sabi ko, ang gaganda ng mga bagong GRO at dancer! Pero hindi ka naman pala nakikinig at nakatulala ka lang dyan. Bakit ba?

A, wala! sabi ni Jace sabay dampot sa bote ng beer at uminom.

Anong wala? Nakatulala ka kaya! Ang layo ng tingin mo at parang wala kang interes sa panonood ng floor show! Bakit ba? May problema ba?

Wala! Ano naman ang magiging problema ko?

Ewan ko sa'yo! Ngayon ka lang kasi nagpunta sa men's club na hindi ka nasiyahan sa pinapanood mo. Dati ikaw pa ang mas excited. Bakit ba?

Wala nga!

I won't believe you! Anong problema?

Wala nga! Manood ka na nga lang!

Huh! Babae ano?

Ano?

Babae ang iniisip mo, ano?

Babae ka dyan! Of course not!

Then what is it?

Wala nga! Huwag ka ngang makulit, manood ka na lang! Huwag kang kukurap, ha?

Umiiwas ka, ha? Sino ba, ha?

Ang kulit mo!

Dahil kilala kita! Ikaw iyong tipo ng lalaki na hindi naapektuhan ng kahit na anong problema kung may kinalaman sa trabaho sa office. You're an easy go-lucky guy, todo-pasa ka lang sa lahat dahil alam mong kaya mong lutasin ang anumang problema. Kaya alam ko, may iba kang problema ngayon.

Jace stopped, his friend really knows him. He sighed.

Wala ito, lilipas din ito.

So, babae nga ang problema mo, am I right?

Ewan ko ba? Ibang klase itong nararamdaman ko. He bursts out.

Whoa! Ano iyan, ha? Seryoso? Bakit ba? Sino ba iyon?

He stop again, he will never admit to his friend what's juggling on his mind.

Wala iyon, isa lang model na nakilala ko last time. Medyo pakipot lang kaya na-challenge ako.

Ows? Hindi agad bumigay?

Sort of! My pride mildly hurt.

Ganoon? Dahil hindi bumigay sa'yo?

Siguro.

Baka naman na-in love ka na kaya wala ka sarili mo?

Of course not, It's not that! Its just my pride. Naiinis lang ako kapag naalala ko.

Kasi naman, you were used that there's a lot of women in front of you. That in just a blink, they will hop in your bed!

Sira! Pero lilipas din ito, especially if I don't see that woman again!

Well, ikaw pa! Kaya relax ka lang, ha? Manood na lang tayo ng floor show! Any moment from now the beautiful show will start, for sure you'll enjoy it!

Yeah, of course! For sure!

But the truth, Jace is doubting if he can do to enjoy, because Griff keeps running on his mind.

Should I call her! But we've already say goodbye to each other. What is this? Why I can't let her go out of my mind? Is it because she steps on my pride because she's the one who suggested to discontinue what we started to know each other?

If the answer to Jace's question, he can't still find, as days passed by, his different feeling gets worse.
