Unrequited

Chapter 9

Cha's POV

5:30 PM

Halos araw araw kaming mag kasama ni Yasser and we've become bestfriends. Gusto den akong patulungin ni mama sa pag-aalaga kay Ate Jo at gusto ko den yon kase after all, itinuring ko na din na kapatid si Ate Jo kahit noon pa man, kaya everytime na walang pasok, tinutulungan ko si Yasser sa pag-aalaga pero minsan pag may pasok siya ako lang mag isa pero mas malimit pa rin yung mag kasama kami eh. I love Ate Jo, itinuring ko na siya na older sister, we're sisters by heart...

I might sound crazy but days have passed that we were together, and each day, I am falling deeper, I admit it.

His amazing visuals, his great personality, being a gentleman, his care for his family , I saw that through him for the past few days that I've been with him.

Di ko lang talaga kayang pigilan. I just can't. I can't keep myself from falling and that's what I did, and I am in a danger zone right now.

I don't even know if I have a chance, a chance to be his girl, a chance to be loved by him, a chance to take our friendship to another level. I am his but he's not mine.

Ramdam ko ang malamig na simoy ng hangin habang nag iisip at nag muni muni about my feelings for Yasser.

While thinking deeply, I heard someone's voice behind me.

It's that man. The man that I have fallen to.

"Oh kape muna, salamat nga pala dahil tinulungan moko sa pag aalaga kay Tita" , he said while handing me a cup of coffee kaya kinuha ko naman agad ito syempre timpla niya YIEEE! hahahahaharot!

"Thank you." -Cha

"Lalim ng iniisip naten orb ah" -Cha

"I'm just thinking about things. Dangerous things." ,matamlay na sabi ko naman sa kaniya.

"Like what? Knives? Snakes? Criminals??" -Yasser

"Love" , I answered while smiling bitterly.

"How can that be dangerous?"
-Yasser

"Love is something inevitable. If you fall too deep and not being able to get up, that's danger, worse if there's no one to catch you" -Cha

"For me, Love is one of the best things that can happen to a person, to love and be loved , that's happiness, right?" -Yasser

"If we are being loved, yes it's happiness, but you need to realize that not every person gets loved by the person they love the most, and that's pain" -Cha

"I do realize that and yes, it hurts. They just need to realize that there are some people that also love them even if not in a romantic way like their family and friends." -Yasser

"Ofcourse I know that mahal na mahal kaya ako ng pamilya ko pero yung pinag uusapan naten dito is the other kind of love, gets orbbb?!"
-Cha

"Yes Ma'am!" -Yasser

"Love is the perfect mix of happiness and sadness with a touch of pain" , sabi ko naman habang naka tingin sa kawalan....

"There are times na happy ka, kase syempre in love ka eh, di mo mapipigilan ang sarili mong kiligin kahit pa tunay o peke yung pinapakita nung tao, at di mawawala yung sadness, if you love a person, there is always sacrifice involved, you will do anything just to make that person happy even if it will hurt you and there comes the pain" , pag eexplain ko sa kaniya dahil mukang di niya na gets ang una kong sinabi HAHA!

"Oy bro! Bestfriend kita kaya kung may nanakit sayo dapat sinasabi mo saken, sino ba yan???" -Yasser

What if I tell you it's you? Actually, di mo pa nga ako sinasaktan eh, pine prepare ko lang ang sarili ko or baka talagang advance lang ako mag isip.

Sa pag-iisip ko ay di ko namalayan na hindi ko pala nasagot ang tanong ni Yasser at nakatingin lang sa kawalan.

"Oy orbbb.. Earth tooo Chaaa!! Anooo naa?! Ayos ka lang ba talaga haa????" , medyo malakas na sabi naman ni Yasser kaya agad akong natauhan at sumagot sa kaniya.

"There is someone that I like and I don't know what he feels or if I have a chance" -Cha

"Nakooo kung ano man nararamdaman niyang lalaking yan, wag mo muna masyado isipin, malay mo someday siya pa yung mag habol sayo dibaaa! Think positiveee orb!"
-Yasser

"Somedayyy.. sana nga... somedayyy , I'll get a chance" ,matamlay at walang gana ko namang sabi.

"Chavezzzz abay cheer uppp na ikawww , di pa katapusan ng mundo orb! Andito pa naman kame ehhh"
-Yasser

"I'm grateful for that." ,sabi ko naman at nag bigay ng pilit na ngiti sa kaniya.

"Nakooo alam ko yang ngiti mong yan eh. Yaw ko ng pilit okay?? Astraea Arabella Chavez, ngingiti o ngingiti ??!" -Yasser

"HAHA ewan ko sayo!" -Cha

"Yannn yung tunayyyy! Goodddd! Yamuna yon. Love ka naman namen eh. Love ka ng familyyy mooo. Love ka ni Goddd. Love kitaaaa. So cheer up orb!" -Cha

"Buti naman love moko" -Cha

"Aba syempre, bestfriend kita ehhh!" -Yasser
