hate : daniel

7

i pinched my cheeks and stared at her many times. malay niyo nagoyo nanaman ako tapos aasa lang pala ako.

she laughed at my reaction.

"oppa, why are you so cute?" she suddenly touched my cheeks, making me jumped a bit.

"ani. i'm not." i told her making her giggled. ah, kyeopta.

she's so cute, i wanna keep her. and, i have the chance now.

silly, daniel. 'di ka pa nga sumasagot sa tanong niya kanina. dapat siguro pag-isipan ko muna yung offer niya sa akin.

offer what? jinja?

iginaya ko muna siya sa may upuan dito sa taas ng building namin para makapagusap kaming dalawa nang masinsinan. i really want to know the reasons why she confessed suddenly, and why does she like me, too.

akala ko kasi si jihoon ang gusto niya at hindi ako. there's something bothering me but i'll set aside it muna. for now, let's focus with this serious topic.

i really hate it when girls shows their affection towards me but with mila, i like it.

at the very first place, it's always mila. mila ahn. only her can give me this feeling. since kindergarten, yeah. call me loyal 'cause it suits me well.

dati, piso lang ang hawak ko. ngayon, kamay na ni mila.

dati, nabili pa ako sa tindahan at hindi makapamili ng bibilhin, ang hirap din mag-desisyon pero habang tumatanda ako, nauunawaan ko na kung bakit kailangan nating mag-desisyon sa buhay.

and that's to find the true meaning of life.

and life is mila. sa kan'ya umiikot ang mundo ko. i don't know what charm she has. gusto ko ring malaman kung bakit ganito ang epekto niya sa akin at ni jihoon.

"daniel... ang lalim ng iniisip mo." she pouted while holding my hands.

"ano kasi, mila. nakakabigla, e. sorry." i bowed a bit because of feeling shy.

ano ba naman kasi 'yaaaan, mila! nanggigigil na ako, ha. onti na lang, mahahalikan na kita d'yan sige pa isa pa.

kidding. behave, self. self control is the best asset.

"ah, gano'n ba. you can say no naman," she bit her lip.

what? magi-isip pa lang ako ng isasagot ko tapos inuunahan nanaman ako neto.

"mila, i will think of it muna. hindi ko naman nir-reject. sa katunayan okay lang sa akin na mag-date tayo, since uh..." should i say it to her right now?

should i confess my feelings, too?

'wag muna. erase, erase.

"since okay naman yung relationship natin sa isa't isa tapos ano, magaan ka namang kasama." i explained.

"then, let's start dating already, oppa!" she exclaimed. putek, bakit ganito tibok ng puso ko?

DUG DUG DUG DUG DOREMI JOKE!

"are you sure that you'll date me, what about jihoon?" napatikom ang kan'yang bibig sa tanong ko. see that, daniel. it will only make you hurt.

tumawa siya ng bahagya at tumingala sa langit.

"alam mo, daniel. gusto ko si jihoon." sabi niya habang nakatingin pa rin sa kalangitan na puno ng ulap.

wow. as expected. jihoon is really attractive, i admit that.

kaya nagustuhan din siya ni mila.

am i not attractive? do i need to change myself?

"pero, hanggang doon lang yun. kasi, ikaw yung sinisigaw ng puso ko. ikaw 'yon, kang daniel. wala ng iba." she smiled and stand while twirling around.
