13 REASONS WHY

Tape 8

Kiara Tape (I like her)

Kiara POV

Mukhang tapos na ni Diana pakinggan yung tape ni Juls. I saw her at same spot where Juls and Franki have their confession.

Next tape will be mine.

Nakaupo lang ako sa motor ko habang inaalala mga alala ni Franki nong mga panahong kasama ko siya dito sa auto repair shop ng tito ko. Then I pressed the play button para pakinggan ulit tape ko.

Kiara Tape - 8

Kia. Thank you and sorry.

I'm so hopeless the day we met. However that time I tried to make a change.

I'm already tired for being left alone.

I'm tired thinking what else I should do with my past, with those things I learned about Juls and about my dad.

Until one day I decided to make a change, I left all the memories behind and started a new life,  new lifestyle, new habit and new work.

I found your uncle auto repair shop.

1st time kong mag-alis ng gulong, magbuhat ng gulong at magchange oil.

Car wash. Welding. Cleaning engine and bottom part of cars.

I even lift a car for checking. The hardest part I've done.

It makes me happy,  somehow I can do something I never imagine to try.

After class buong gabi lang akong nakatutok sa mga sasakyan,  madami akong natutunan sa tito mo.

I love new things, it makes me forget about everything I've been through.

New things gave me some light of my life.

Then I met you.

"woah be careful." you said when you saw me lifting the car.

"are you sure you can do it?". You are confused and worried at the same time.

"yes, you never see me doing it. " I lift it again.

"I never knew a girl can do a job like this." you looked surprised with my strength. I'm done with the lifting.

"then why are you here?" I asked you,  coz we got the same uniform as an employee of this shop.

"beside me." you laughed and I saw light from there, Its incredible. You offered me a hand to lift the other car. We are both preparing the car for checking.

"you are not regular here?". I asked you,  1st time kasi kitang nakita dun,  madalas apat na boys at yung tito mo lang kasama ko.

"Tito ko yung may-ari nito, he gave me a motorbike which I used to repair here and sometimes I'm bored so I do some things here." you sounds friendly and goodvibes.

We both enjoyed cleaning each car. You are so talkative and I learned a lot of things.

On how to turn down nicely sa mga kaworkmate nating nagkakagusto sakin,  diko nga rin alam kung san ako nagkakagusto talaga, sa babae o lalaki since I got a girlfriend pala nong highschool.

"pero attractive ka parin ba sa guy? Lalo na yung maganda katawan?" curious na tanong mo,  natawa nalang ako sa part na maganda ang katawan.

Iniisip kong mabuti kung attractive nga ba ako sa mga guys.

Kaso wala talaga akong maisip.

"I guess I only find them cute but not attractive." then I found myself looking at you,  from head to toe.
