I Was Loved | Jordi GDL

83

I'm out nanaman with kulot. Sinamahan ko siyang bumili ng bagong shirt and now we're going to BLK 513.

"I'll wait for you here nalang." I told him.

"Why? Samahan mo ako." He said, typing something on his phone. Kanina pa siya pindot nang pindot, tapos magsasalita ng hindi ko maintindihan.

"No, I enjoy watching that kid." Turo ko sa batang naglalaro ng bubble gun -- that thing you use to blow bubbles.

"Okay. Stay here, don't leave. Wait for me." Sabi niya saka umalis.

I will always wait for you.

"Ang tagal mo naman." I complained.

"Ang daming tao," He told me. "Pwede ba a----" He was cut off when someone called him.

"Jordi! Omg! Hala si Jordi!" The girl shouted. I just shook my head. Well lagi nalang pag nasa UPTC kami. Ang sikat ng kasama ko.

Jordi smiled at them. Dapat ako lang nginingitian nito eh.

"Can we take a picture with you?" The girl asked. Kulot agreed, of course.

I stayed beside them, yung yogurt ko hawak pa din niya.

"Kaninong yogurt yan? Akin ba? Hahaha!" The girl joked, Jordi looked at me. Tumingin din saakin yung dalawang babae.

"Hala si Jianna! Pwedeng pa picture?" I looked at Jordi, asking for help.

"Go on, I'll take the picture." Jordi said and smiled saka inabot saakin ang hawak niyang yogurt. Tinignan ko siya ng masama.

"One, two, three." Bilang niya.

They said thanks before leaving.

"Sana all famous." Jordi laughed.

"Bakit kilala nila ako?" I asked habang inaabot sakanya yung yogurt niya.

"I don't know, ganda mo kasi." He said. I just rolled my eyes on him.

"Ano na nga yung tinatanong mo kanina?" I asked. He looked up tapos pag balik niya ng tingin saakin, namumula na siya.

"Bakit?" I asked, worried.

"Ha?"

"You're red."

"No. I'm Jordi."

"Ha-ha. Ano na yun?"

"I was asking if...", he stopped, "if..." He stopped again and then said words that's incoherent to my ears.

"What?" I frowned.

"How do you ask a girl kung pwede bang manligaw?" There. He said it. Okay. I looked at my feet and breathe.

"Well, just ask." Sagot ko. Nawawala nanaman ako sa mood.

"How?"

"Just ask. Pwede ba akong manligaw? Can I court you? Ganon!" I smiled.

"No sweet words?" He asked.

"Then add sweet words if you want." I told him, looking at my yogurt.

"I like you, can I court you?" He said, practicing his lines.

"Ayan marunong ka naman pala. Ganyan lang, simple." I commented.

"I like you, can I court you?" Ulit niya.

"Boomerang ka sis?" I asked. Paulit-ulit sabi na ngang pwede na.

"I like you, can I court you?" He repeated.

"Oh my God, ano ba yan Jordi."

"Can you answer? Para di na ako paulit-ulit." Sabi niya, namumula na siya.

"Ha?"

"I said I like you..." He said and bit his lower lip.

"What?" I asked then he turned around saka nagsimulang maglakad. I was like nailed in my position. Antagal mag sink in sa utak.

Did he just asked me?

What? He was practicing, di ba?

Am I supposed to answer?

Is he gonna court me?

I squealed, napatingin saakin yung iba. I can't help it!

When I realized na malayo na pala siya, tumakbo ako papunta sakanya and heard him speak spanish.

"Hoy!" I tucked in his shirt then walked faster para makita yung mukha niya.

"Ano? Don't look at me." Sabi niya saka tinakpan yung mukha.

"Ang cute mo." I laughed.

"Stop, I messed up. Forget it." He said, walking faster.
