Chapter 37

"D-Drice... " nauutal na sabi ko.

I cannot explain what I'm feeling right now. The butterflies in my stomach turns into monsters. I cannot breath properly just like what he can make me feel before.

Ganun pa rin. Sya pa rin. At mas matindi pa ata ngayon.

He smiled at me genuinely. I don't know if I'm assuming but I can see his eyes twinkled like in the movies. And I know it's ridiculous.

"Avi... May sasabihin ako sayo." malambing na usal nya habang nasa ganoon pa rin kaming posisyon.

Napakurapkurap ako. He's very near. Naiintimidate ako sa lapit naming dalawa.

And for an instant, I forgot all the eyes staring at us. I forgot all the insulting words. I forgot all their judgements.

And all I can see right now is, him. His eyes. His face. Only him. Is this even possible?

Am I really inlove with him? This intense?

And if yes, then I should accept earlier the fact that I'll be hurt. Because it is very clear from the very beginning that he wants friendship. But I give him more than what he asked.

My fault. His words may be really intended for a friend. And not for someone that he'll invest feelings. Definitely, not me.

"A-Ano?"

Pumungay ang mga nata nya habang nakatitig sa akin. He's staring. And damn, it is heart melting!

"I..."

Halos kapusin ako ng hininga nang unti unting lumapit ang mukha nya sa akin. Halos maduling ako sa sobrang lapit na tanging pagpikit na lamang ng aking mata ang nagawa ko.

Mariin akong nakapikit nang naramdaman kong dampian nya ng halik ang aking noo. Bumigat ang paghinga ko sa kaba at sa pagsabog ng puso ko.

"....just want to say that..." bulong nya.

Dumilat ako at nakita kong ganoon pa rin ang lapit naming dalawa. He leaned closer again and I just closed my eyes.

It's as if my body was a slave to him.

Hinalikan nyang muli ang tungki ng ilong ko at ramdam na ramdam ko ang init ng paghinga nya sa pisngi ko. Hindi na rin ako makahinga sa kaba.

"....that I...."

Matapang akong dumilat at tinitigan sya sa mata. I can see the burning passion and intensity. But I don't know what was that for.

"I..."

Dahan dahan kong ipinikit ang mga mata ko at hinintay ang unti unting paglapit ng mukha nya sa akin. He's going to kiss me in front of all these people.

I can feel him an inch away from my lips. My heart is beating so fast. And my breathing seems to be. taken away from me.

Until...

"Mr. Montealba!"

Nadilat ako sa gulat nang marining ko ang biglang pagsigaw si Papa mula sa ibaba sa kabila ng hiyawan ng nga tao.

Agad akong kumalas kay Drice at bahagyan ko syang itinulak.
Nadoble ang kabang nararamdaman ko.

Kabado kong binalingan si Papa na nakatayo sa kinaroroonan nya at matalim na nakatingin kay Drice. Sinulyapan ko si Drice at hindi man lang sya nagulat sa ginawa ng principal namin.

Binalingan ko ang mga nanunuod ako nakita kong naguluhan din sila sa nangyari. Nahagip nang mata ko si Jean sa isang sulok habang mariin din ang titig sa akin.
