My Wicked Clumsy Girl

Manila

I wake up early or did I ever slept? to be honest I don't know,tumayo ako sa bed bago ako tumitig sa labas ng bintana, you know you can back out from this? bulong ng isip ko pero I know in my heart hindi ko na kaya umiwas,I looked at Nico once more bago ako nag-shower.

Ilang minuto din ako nagbabad sa loob ng banyo,I look at my reflection sa mirror,I know something changed in me pero I can't figure it out, I sigh and start fixing myself,reminding myself that this is a good day and everything will just be fine.

"Hey you're up early" pupungas-pungas na sabi nya sa akin pag-labas ko nang banyo "and you don't even invite me to shower" parang nagtatampong sita nya sa akin.

I manage to smile sweetly "because you're sleeping like a baby sweet pea" then I kiss her lips lightly "I am going to cook breakfast,let's have a meal before going out to our daily grind".

She nodded but remembered she has nothing to wear,she was about to call Kuya Bruce but then I told her no need since I still have all the clothes she bought for me the last time we're on a road trip.
I went in the kitchen and quickly cook pancakes and some bacon,I brewed coffee already,Asawa ang peg? pang-asar ng isip ko but I mockingly smile at myself.

"Sweet pea" tawag ko sa likod ng pinto ng banyo "breakfast is ready but you need to hurry up I can't be absent today" I tried my very best to be cheerful ayoko mag-start ng araw na hindi maganda.

"Yes Love patapos na" she answered in a happy tone as well,I sigh well atleast she is ok,ikaw teh ok ka?I shrug the thought at lumabas na ako sa kitchen

I smiled ng makita ko syang lumabas ng room ko and base sa pinili nyang damit alam ko na san sya pupunta "Sweet pea eat enough kasi I know you can't eat the whole day" nilagyan ko ng pancake at bacon sa plate nya "there!".

"Ila can—"pinutol ang sasabihin nya ng subuan ko sya ng pancake,I don't want hear anu man ang sasabihin nya.

"Pupunta ka sa lamay di ba?for sure—-".

Hinawakan nya ang kamay ko "Ila I won't go there kung ayaw mo".

"Nico" nagulat man ako but I manage not to show it,I touch her face and caress it "I told you last night that I trust you right?" she nod "So go there,isa pa may pinagsamahan kayo" crossed finger that she believe me.

"What did I do good to deserve you Love?" she sweetly smile at me,but I notice something ayoko na lang pansinin.

Nangingiting sinubuan ko sya ulit "Nico...and about last night when I said I love you,I mean it" I filled my lungs with air pampalakas ng loob "but no pressure,I just needed to express myself but don't ever feel obligated to say or even feel it back for me" I am hurt but then who am I to demand,I love her but I am still realistic.

"Love when I told you to trust me it means that I will not do anything to hurt you" then she kiss my lip it doesn't last long but still the sweetest.

"So you told her that you love her?!?!?" namimilog ang mata ni Jenine sa mga sinabi ko except sa part na binigay ni Nico sarili nya,panung di ko iku-kwento eh non-stop sya nangungulit bakit ako absent kahapon, since I never been absent before kung hindi lang dahil kay Nico.

"Oo,but she doesn't have to love me back".

"Liar!".

"Totoo Jenine".

"Ako ba ang pinaniniwala mo o ang sarili mo Manila?" she sip sa frappe nya andito kami ngayon sa coffee shop malapit lang sa condo after work kasi nag-decide ako na ayain sya lumabas,ayoko muna umuwi.
