spring was gone | Buenvenidez Series #1 [COMPLETED]

17

Just like what he said, we really did spent the whole day in the bay, just talking and simply watching the sun sets and the colors of the sky transcend its magical and apocalyptic ending.

There were few minutes when we'd stay silent for a while, hanggang sa bigla nalang may mapaguusapan. Random things again, just like what I want to pursue in college, what I want in the future.. and I told him some wisp of the future I've been working for... In short, of all the hours that passed, ni minsan hindi niya inopen ang topic tungkol sa girlfriend niya. I would try, I really did tried but he seems not comfortable with it so I stopped.

"I don't want to talk about it. I'm okay," He answered as I asked him about what happened.

Natawa ako ng bahagya sa kung paano niya iwasan ang mga tanong ko, napailing nalang ako at napatahimik. Maybe that's how he copes up with it, or maybe I'm not someone he could take as an option to hear him.

"Hindi kita pipilitin magkwento but please always let me know how are you feeling.." I said. Nakuha ko ang buong atensyon niya. He's now looking directly at me with his wrinkled forehead and pouted lips.

"Does my feelings bothered you? Does it even matter?" He asked. I just smiled at him.

Of course, Gust.. It will always matter to me. That's how much I value you.. You have no idea.

"As someone who witnessed it first hand.. Yes, I am bothered." I seriously said. He pouted more and pinched my cheek.

Napailing siya sa akin at napabuntong hinga. "Damn, Faith. I hope I could meet someone like you of my age.." He murmured. Kumunot ang noo ko.

Bakit pa siya magwiwish humanap ng iba gayong nandito na ako? Of his age... Hindi pwede ang age ko.. Really... Yeah, really Faith, little sister pa nga, diba?

"Why?" Tanong ko.

Tumawa siya at umiling, "Coz girls of my age befriend me just because of my status, my face, and all the benefits they want.. I've never met someone who's concerned of what I'm feeling.. even my ex-girlfriend failed to showed me that companion," He said. Napaiwas ako ng tingin dahil sa hindi mawaring pakiramdam.

"Then why can't it be me..." I said... Biglang may pumasok sa isip, Oh! "I mean, that someone.."

He chuckled a bit. "Because you're too young for me..."

"But..." I sighed. Ganoon ba talaga? He's just three years older than me.. Bakit hindi ako pwede...

"No buts, Faith.. You're still young.." He trailed off and sighed, "And I don't think I'm your type of guy." Napailing siya at napatingala, saka nagiwas ng tingin.

"I don't get you." I muttered, stating a fact. Ang labo ng kanyang sinasabi. Just a while ago, I was too offended when he said that I'm just a sister to him, tapos ngayon, bigla niyang sasabihin iyon..

Out of blue. Is he implying something too fictional or is it just me? Hindi ko lang talaga maintindihan dahil puro kaba ang aking nararamdaman?

"Edi mas mabuti. Don't think about it. It's nothing." Aniya saka tumayo para mag stretch out.

His last words kind of bothered me... Ano nga ang ibig sabihin niya doon? He's not my type? Kung alam niya lang! Grade 6 palang ako type ko na siya! Sadyang hindi lang talaga pwede, at pakiramdam ko, hindi naman umaayon sa amin ang mundo... He's broken... and still inlove with someone else. While me? I have my limitations.

Pinanood ko siya habang nagstretching siya. His manly silhouette covered me from the sun rays. He fixed the collars of his uniform and brushed his hair with his fingers. I watched him silently until he gazed at me.
