#TPBTWRPermission
Today is Saturday.
V: magpakita ka naman sa canteen
I decided not to reply to V.
Ngayon lang, please.
Nanatili lang ako sa kwarto ko hanggang lunch.
My phone rang.
"Hello?"
You have a visitor." Ate Angela called and right after I breathed, she hang off.
Mabilis akong naligo at saka nagbihis ng decent na damit. Baka kasi sila V and Ron. Anyway, how did they find their way here?
Lumabas na ako at saka nagpakita sa kanila. But I didnt saw Ron and V.
But I wasnt expecting on anybody today. If I was, dapat aware ako.
"Angela know you already. I know that. Oh and youre the son of Dr. Villaflores, right?"
Son of—
I was too late to hide for dad saw me by the stairs. Dapat kasi hindi nalang pala ako bumaba. O kaya naman sana hindi nalang ako nakita ni papa. O kaya sana wala ako sa bahay.
"Ari. You have a visitor. Why dont you come downstairs?" Dad said.
I gulped.
Anong kailangan niya sa akin?
Akala ko ba matagal na kaming tapos. Kung maka-sabi naman ako ng tapos, may nasimulan nga ba? Wala.
I cleared my throat and went down.
Napatayp kaagad si Hyle the moment he really saw me. I can see in his eyes na may kailangan siyang sabihin sa akin. He is being confident and... formal.
Bakit siya andito?
"Hyle..." Fck. Kahit imention ko pa lang ang pangalan niya. Masakit na.
He beamed.
"Anong ginagawa mo dito?"
Dad cleared his throat this time.
"I better go. Nice meeting you, ijo."
Umalis si papa.
"Ari..."
I smiled at papa while leaving and when I turned to Hyle my smiled faded real quick.
"Lets stop this timid politeness, Hyle. What do you want?" I asked.
"Ikaw."
Napataas ang kilay ko.
Strong beginning. Ah. Natauhan.
"Bakit 'ikaw'?" I asked again.
"Ikaw ang kailangan ko dahilan kung bakit ako andito." Sabi niya.
"Okay. Tell me what do you want about me?"
"Ang sagot mo." Sabi niya.
I was kind of a bit confused.
"Ha?"
"I'm courting you."
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
"H-ha?"
He smiled. Gently.
"I said... liligawan kita, Ari."
It would have been so easy if you just confirmed your feelings to me that night, Villaflores.
And now?
Liligawan mo ko?
Tignan nalang natin kung magtatagal ka.
Feelings? Mawawala din yan.
But the other side of my head feels so light and happy.
"Just say yes."
Hindi ako kumibo.
"I already asked for your father's permission."
Woah.
Brave?
Ako lang ba? O feel ko lang na wala nang lalaking kayabg humarap sa parents ng liligawan nila? Yung iintroduce nila ang sarili nila kahit hindi pa sila ng girl. Nowadays kasi... magpapakilala na yung lalaki saka lang kapag official boyfriend na siya ng girl.
Guts.
"Yes na."
"Bakit ba ang demanding mo ngayon?" Sabi ko. Seriously not in the mood to be of unclear situation again.
"I. Am. Courting. You." He said. Standing up and walking straight to me. He knelt down and I feel conscious kasi baka makita ni papa ang kakapalan ng mukha niya. "Ari."
Damn.
He took my hand.
But as if my feelings does change, I never removed my hand after he took it. I am just letting him took it as if it was his.
"Give me a chance. Magsisimula pa lang ako, Ari."
I hesitated.
Agad-agad ko nalang ba siyang sagutin? Fuck. Nagpapaka hard to get ang nanay mo.
"Pero hindi pa natin kilala ang isat isa." Sabi ko.
Tumayo siya.
Pinantayan niya ang mga mata ko.
"Then, i'll make time for you to know me more. Same goes for me." Sabi niya.
Hindi na ako kumibo.
Kikibo pa ba ako?
I sighed.
He smiled.
He sighed.
I smiled.
Okay.
Then I guess This will be the time that I will be having a getting to know moment with Hyle Villaflores.
