Complicated It Is

Chapter 12

"Di ko na pinaalam sa kanila kase ayokong mag-alala sila. Di ko kakayanin Art eh. Ayokong masaktan na naman sila ng dahil sakin." Umiiyak na naman si Momo. Haaays!

Ang hirap tignan ng babaeng mahal mo na umiiyak. Naaawa ako sa kanya pero bilib ako. Nakaya niyang ihandle yung mga problema. Di gaya nung iba, nagpapakamatay agad dahil lang nakipagbreak yung mga jowa nila. Ang we-weak. Mahiya sana sila kay Momo.

Nakaupo lang siya sa sofa habang nanunuod ng tv. Ramdam sa buong paligid yung kalungkutan niya ngayon kahit pa panay ang joke ng hosts ng pinapanuod niya. Hmm... Pano ba pangingitiin to?

Ahh! Kakantahan ko nalang.

EHEM!

Now Playing ...

With a Smile by Eraserheads

"Lift your head, baby, don't be scared
Of the things that could go wrong along the way
You'll get by with a smile
You can't win at everything but you can try."

Nakatingin siya sakin at nagulat. Can't blame her. Pogi yung nanghaharana sa kanya ngayon eh.

"Baby, you don't have to worry
'Coz there ain't no need to hurry
No one ever said that there's an easy way
When they're closing all their doors
And they don't want you anymore
This sounds funny but I'll say it anyway."

I smiled at her like I'm saying, No need to worry now coz I'm here. I'll be here for you, Always.."

"Girl I'll stay through the bad times
Even if I have to fetch you everyday
We'll get by with a smile
You can never be too happy in this life.

In a world where everybody
Hates a happy ending story
It's a wonder love can make the world go round
But dont let it bring you down
And turn your face into a frown
You'll get along with a little prayer and a song.

Let me hear you sing it
(Too doo doo...)"

Nakikita kong kumikinang ang kanyang mga mata. Naiiyak na naman but, not beacause of sadness anymore. I can see a happy tears in a happy eyes now. Argh .. I feel relieved!

"In a world where everybody
Hates a happy ending story
It's a wonder love can make the world go round
But don't let it bring you down
And turn your face into a frown
You'll get along with a little prayer and a song.

Lift your head, baby, don't be scared
Of the things that could go wrong along the way
You'll get by with a smile
Now it's time to kiss away those tears goodbye
(Too doo doo...)
Let me hear you sing it
(Too doo doo...)"

Silence ...

Nagtititigan lang kami. Walang nagsasalita after kong kumanta. I don't know what to say nor to do. Ano ba dapat gawin? Should I make a first move? Should I be the one to approach her ...

She suddenly hugged me. Crying.

"Thankyou Art! Thankyou! I don't deserve any of this but thankyou! Thankyou for giving me motivation. Thankyou for being there. Thankyou."

Then, she smile. That simple smile makes my world shaken. Niyanig niya buong pagkatao ko this instant. Grabe talaga ang tama tol. Mas tama pa to sa Pulang Kabayo eh.

"Anything for you Momo. Ayoko lang kasing nakikitang umiiyak ang babaeng gusto ko." I smiled back.

"Gu-gusto m-mo a-a-ako?"

"Di po ba obvious?"

"Obvious. Pero, mas okay kase kung marinig ko galing sa bibig mo. Baka sabihin mo pang assuming ako, Magfifeeling ka lang jan."

"Suuus! Kunwari pa to. Kilig ka naman niyan? Pulang-pula ng cheeks eh. Suuus!" Magdedeny pa to for sure kahit obvious din naman siya. Haha!

"Namumula ka jan? Alam mo ikaw, feeling ka talaga eh. Bat naman ako kikiligin jan sa revelation mong yan? Kakayaman ko ba yan? mukha mo."

See? deny pa more, girl.

"Oo. Ikakayaman mo. Lalo na kapag sinagot moko."

"Bakit? Ano bang tinatanong mo at kailangan ng sagot ko?"

"Liligawan kita. Okay lang ba?"
