Dealing with a Broken Hearted Girl

Closer

It's been a month since huli kaming nakausap ni Stephen. Ang sarap sa pakiramdam na wala ka ng tinik sa dibdib etchos.

But as the day goes by and by.. mas lalo akong napapalapit kay Vander ..

Yeah. tama kayo ng basa, nagiging close na kame sa isa't isa simula nong pinagkatiwala ni kuya yung life and security ko kay Vander.

Every day, ayun bumibisita sa akin pati kay Kara tuwing wala kaming pasok, therefore tuwing week ends lang. Si Kara nga naglulupasay na sa sobrang kilig, tapos hay naku. lagi kong binabatukan kase nakakahalata na si Vander sa kanya. Minsan nga natatawa na lang ito sa kinikilos ng sis ko.

Dahil week ends ngayon naku, sabi ko nga expected the expected.. darating na naman yun. Si Kara ayun nag make over na yay. alam niyo na. Minsan tuloy naiisip kong dalaga na talaga yung sis ko sa edad na 15. Maganda din siya, pero mas maganda ang ate syempre. Miss ADMU high siya last year. Fourth year na siya ngayon, Ayy remember nyo yung pagnominate ni Vander sakin bilang MissIntrams ng Coe? Gaganapin na yun this incoming two weeks. Proud na proud nga yung sis ko eh, hay naku. Medyo stress nga buti nalang laging inaassure ni Vander na di ako linilipasan ng gutom. Rehearsal namin kahapon, break muna ako.. Nandito ako sa kwarto ko ng may kumatok sa pintuan ng kwarto ko.

Ate! kara is calling out for my name. Hmm, baka andyan na si Vans. Yeah, Vans kase mahilig din siyang magshoes ng Vans brands.

Oh, sissy bakit? Sandali andyan na ako. binuksan ko na yung pinto at nanigas ako ng may masulyapan akong binatang oh my so gwapo! Urgh. naka ngiti siya sa akin while his hands are inside his pocket. Hay naku. Bestfriend ko ba talaga ito? Gwapo eh, gusto kong patusin.

I stuttered when he spoked,

Good morning best friend. He smiled at me and i think may dala siya.

Ate, maiwan ko muna kayo. May date ako ngayon. Bu-bye...

halos maghyperventilate na ako sa kaba. Lecheng kapatid oh, akala ko nagpaganda ito para kay Vans eh may date pala ang kumag? Urgh.

I nod and let him in my room, I went to veranda infront my room. Sinundan din niya ako sa veranda.

So? Okay ka na Yeng? he asked.

napagod kase ako kagabi. Syempre nagrehearsal kaya kame ng bonggang bongga, hay naku.

Ahh.. Yeah, I am. Umupo kame sa table set na nasa veranda ng kwarto ko at doon nagpahangin.

Yeng, sana ganito na lang tayo parati noh? tumango ako bilang sagot.

Yeng, I just wanna be next to you forever. Sana kahit nasaktan ka dati, you'll learn how to sense someone around you who's willing to repair those damage someone made. Yeng, it's still nice to be back and closer to you. natigilan ako sa sinabi niya. Gusto kong sumagot pero natuyo yata ang lalamunan ko sa mga sinabi niya. Napalagok ako ng laway at ayun! Pwede na,

Vans, let's take it slow? Its still hard to completely trust someone. Love is an identical twin of Pain, no matter how we deny it.. it still and will create a very traumatic incident if we'll hastily take it fast. Love can wait, as much as if you'll willingly waut for me around. I stated, as a response to his words. Totoo naman eh, di kadaling magmahal ulit. Oo madali akong mafall pero may awa rin naman ako sa sarili ko noh, baka mamaya.. mag cliff hang na lang ako ayoko nga. Gusto ko pa habaan kwento ko dito sa wattpad haha. Ang saya maging bida. Ako lagi nag PPoV lols. Deh joke. Yen might be robbish be eyesight, maldita kung minsan, pero dalagang pinay pa rin naman ako eh.

kumbaga sa English..

Hard to get.. haha

Yeah, that's why I am here for you Yeng. I can't deny the fact that when we're still a kid that time, I felt an ache in my chest when I knew you left me hanging here. I did not even notice that I was inlove with you when we were still a kiddo. Yes it might be rude but that's the truth. I cried when there were no Yeng na for me. Halos ayoko na nga magtiwala sa iba nating kalaro kase natakot akong masaktan at iwan ulit. Then, suddenly your kuya showed up and talked to me last two years, he told me na hindi ka daw nawala sa paningin ko. dahil, iisang school lang pala pinapasukan natin noong high school tayo Yeng. I felt happy, and there I started stalking at you. That was when we're still a Junior student remember the guy who wore his mask in our Prom? It was me, I almost screamed in joy when I was given the chance to dance you. You were so gorgeous that night.. thanks to the admin, naisipan nilang Mask Prom yung theme kung hindi baka nahalata mo na dati pa akong naghahabol sayo. I saw you first love someone, cried for someone, kahit anong gusto kong lapitan ka, di ko magawa. I was also afraid na magiging isa ako sa mga toys mo. I was there when you broke your heart in your first love and that day made me even more to be your last.

Your last man to love Yeng.

I was understated by what he said. Nandon siya sa place kung saan iyak ako ng iyak? Andun din pala siya sa Prom? How rude am I, di ko man lang siya nakilala. Matagal pala siyang naghanap sa akin? Namuo tuloy ang luha sa mga mata ko sa mga sinabi niya. and there I let out my voice ..

I am sorry Vans, I never thought you have waited this for so long. I am quite guilty for I was so blind not to notice someone like you. I was blind by the heavy pain in my chest. there, he walked closer to me, and grabbed me with his arms and indulged me with his warm hug. A hug that felt me secured from pain. and he suddenly utter the words, the three words that proved her that he is worth the pain.

I love you Yeng. be my girl. he let out a light chuckle and kissed me in my forehead.

And there, I discovered a man who dared to embrace my past..

A man who wants and willing to deal with my broken heart.
