My Happily Never After (On Going)

Chapter 4 - Unrequited Love

"The most terrible loneliness is in loving someone completely, deeply, and without reserve; And knowing that you're not loved that way in return."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Dashiel's POV

"I love her." Hindi ko alam kung Saan ko nakuha ang lakas ng loob na sabihin yun sa kanya. Naglalaro kami ng paborito naming Laro sa playstation habang hinihintay naming lumabas ng school ang princessa.

"I know." Simpleng sagot nya. I detected sarcasm on his voice. Hindi ko sya magawang lingunin kahit gustong gusto kong makita ang reaksyon nya sa pagsasabi ko ng nararamdaman.

"Hindi mo ba ako sasapakin? I just confessed that I am in love with your girlfriend." Inaasahan kong mag wawala sya. Naghanda na akong mabugbog. Dahil yun ang Timmy na kilala ko.

"I have always known." Kalmado ang boses nya pero Bakit mas lalo akong kinakabahan?

"And?" Sinubukan ko sumulyap sa kanya. Diretso Lang ang Tingin nya sa TV at pag pindot sa controller, poker face.

"And? What do you want me to say? First I'm not threatened by you. She loves me and I am confident with that. Second she's too young to handle problems such as his two best friends playing tug of war and she's the rope." He still cooly answered.

Ang yabang Talaga ng gagong ito. Kung hindi ko Lang to best friend sinapak ko na sya. Ang angas. Sapul ka naman. Commento ng bwisit na bahagi ng utak ko.

"Okay. She may fall for me." Susubukan ko pa din.

"She won't if you won't make her. Are you?" Doon nya na ako nilingon. Kunot na kunot ang kanyang noo. Hindi ako makasagot.

"Are you?!" He paused the game and looked at me intently. Madilim na ang mukha nya at rinig ko ang pag tagis ng bagang nya. Handa ba akong isugal ang pag kakaibigan namin ng mahabang panahon para sa kanya?

"I thought your not threatened?" Mapanghamon kong sagot.

"I certainly am not. I would just hate to ask her to stay away from you." Ngumiti sya ng makahulugan. He doesn't play fair when it comes to Steph. Kinabahan ako. Alam kong kaya nyang gawin yun ata gagawin nyo given no choice. Gagawin nya ang lahat wag lang mawala si Stephanie sa kanya. Tulad ng kayang kong gawin lahat mapasaakin lang sya. Sasagot pa sana ako pero narinig ko na ang boses nya.

"I'm home!" Dinig ko ang pagtakbo nya galing sa baba. Tumatawa sya at halatang excited syang makita tong gagong to. Pareho kaming nakatitig sa pinto. Pareho kaming naghihintay.

"Love can sometime be magic. But magic can sometimes... just be an illusion." Rinig kong sabi nya.

"Hubby?! I've been looking for you!" Sigaw nya pag Bukas ng pinto. Ang ganda ng ngiti nya pero hindi para sakin. Kundi para sa kanya.

"Wifey!" Tumakbo sya palapit sa kanya at yumakap. Umupo sa kandungan nya at tumingin sakin. I acted like it wasn't a big deal. When really it's breaking my heart.

"Dashiel Reichen Villaraza!!!"

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<*>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Steph's POV

"Dashiel Reichen Villaraza!!!" Sigaw ko. Dumating pala sya. He lives in Bacolod and he's goes here every now and then. Siya ang ang isa pa naming kababata. Best friend namin ni Timothy.

"Anung problema mo?" I asked.

"He's broken hearted." Sagot ni Tim.

"Hala! Sinong nanakit sayo? Sasabunutan ko?!" Agad na tumaas ang kilay ko. No one gets to hurt my boys but me. Hahahaha... Brat Lang.

"A friend." Simpleng sagot nya.

"Whoa!!!!Who kilala ko?!" I was looking at him intently. Sinusubukan kong hanapin ang pangalan sa mukha nya.

"No." Sagot ni Tim.

"Teka nga hubby?! Spokesperson ka ba nya?!" Ano bang problema ng dalawang to mukhang tense. Nilingon ko sya dahil nakakandong ako sa kanya habang nakaupo sila sa bean bags.

"Tsk. Quit asking question Stephanie." Hala!!!! Tinawag nya ako sa pangalan?

"Eh Bakit kasi ang tahimik mo dash?" Lalo lang akong nacurious.

"I'm..." He started speaking.

"You can't be JUST FRIENDS with someone your madly inlove with." When Tim butted in. I felt his body stiffen.

"Is that a threat?!" Nagulat ako nang tumaas ang boses ni Dash. He sounded pissed.

"No. It's a warning." Tim on the other hand sounded calm. Nag sukatan sila ng Tingin.

"Is there something you idiots wanna tell me?! I'm actually here just incase my existence has completely slipped off your minds." Nakakabwisit ang pag uusap nila sa mata na para bang wala ako doon.

"None. It's a guy's thing." Dash looked at me with an expression I can't explain.

"Are you too fighting?!" I eyed them suspiciously. Baka nag away nanaman sa nilalaro nila.

"No!" They answered in unison.

"Good we're eating out. Ilibre mo ako Dash!!!" Ngumiti ako ng pag katamis tamis. Hinawak ko ang kamay nya at naglambing. Ayan nanaman ang tingin nyang kakaiba.

"Tsk. Papalibre lang hahawak pa! I'll buy whichever goddamn restaurant you want to eat in!" Padabog na hinila ako ni Tim papunta sa walk in closet nya.

"Change your clothes first!" At sinaraduhan nya ako ng pinto.

"I love you Hubby!" Pahabol kong sigaw.
