My weird girlfriend

the love that started very young

Kayla's POV

'Yugi, may sasabihin ako seo' 

mali, mali.. dinelete ko ulit ang message sa Phone ko.

'Yugi, kelan ka may free time? sunduin mo'ko sa bar?'

hmm.. tama. papasunduin ko nalang si Yugi sa akin sa bar tapos sasabihin ko sa kanya na pumunta kami somewhere.. somewhere romantic.. hehhehe.. tapos ano sasabihin ko sa kanya?

'Yugi, I love you'

para naman atang napaka straight forward. mali, mali.

'Yugi, sana mapatawad mo ako..pero mahal kita' 

ewww.. ang corny!

magsulat nalang kaya ako ng letter sa kanya! tama! I'll write him a letter.

kinuha ko yong notebook ko. 

Dear Yugi,

ano ang sasabihin ko? I am a writer yet I dont know what to write.

'You may wonder why you are reading this letter. It is because I have something I wanted to tell you..have been wanting to tell you since we were little..

napangiti ako, hindi ko maalala kung kelan kami una nagmeet ni Yugi. ang alam ko lang na lumaki ako na siya yong tinuturing ko na bestfriend ko. 

bigla akong nag cringe ng may naalala  ako na memory..it's very embarrassing! At hinanap ko yong tape na yon..oo tape po siya at di po siya cd dahil matanda na po ang ating author.

I pressed play when I found it. 

I saw my face on the video. It's Christmas and ate Yuma and Yugi were there with us sa living room and we were writing letters to Santa.

'What do you wanna receive from Santa'- mama

'I want a boyfriend mama'- tawa sila

'but Santa can only give toys'

'no....I want a boyfriend!' 

'but Gabby asked you to become his girlfriend and you said no'

'yes, because I don't like him... I want Yugi to be my boyfriend'

tawanan sila lahat.

'I'll marry Yugi someday'         tapos inakbayan ko si Yugi and I tried to kiss him on his lips but he pushed me away. So umiyak ako ' Yugi doesn't want to kiss me!'

'It's okay...you can hug him... Yugi, can you hug Kayla?'

tas napilitan lang si Yugi na ihug ako.

I remember, until I turned 10, being Yugi's girlfriend was all I wanted.  We were inseparable noong bata pa kami. He liked me to sing to him. and when he gets really scared, I would just hug him and tell him that I would help him fend the bad guys away. 

Yugi was a scared child, he didn't talk much when were growing up. he'd get scared a lot of things. he didn't like to talk with people. he used to go to therapist but I was so young I didn't know what that is. I just knew that I wanted to protect Yugi. I guess, I felt like a superwoman who can protect other people.

But I noticed something else I felt towards him. When we would play sa playground, other kids would want to play with us.. and I felt really possessive of him. lalo na sa girls. I remember nong grade- 4 kami, may ka nag kaka crush sa kanya na isang girl, aba inaway ko nga. Mama and papa thought it was just a puppy love and someday when I go to high school or college I'd forget my feeling towards Yugi. They were wrong. I continued secretly loving Yugi. 

At first, Yugi gained a lot of friends especially nong high school na. Ang gwapo kaya ni Yugi ang kinis pa ng kutis at pang model ng toothpaste yong ngipin, he became so charming so people flocked around him and he started hanging out with them. I sulked at first, but i realized that I don't own him. So I would just gladly help him of what he wanted to do until I became so busy too.

Ate Yuma and I are close talaga. Siguro dahil babae siya kaya naramdaman niya na may gusto ako kay Yugi. Pero si Yugi lang ang walang alam!!! in denial ata ng bwesit na yon!

He just treated me like a friend, like a sister..that's all I am to Yugi.

bigla akong nalungkot. ansakit kaya umibig ng palihim! But I have had enough! kahit anong mangyari, kahit magalit pa si Yugi sa akin, I'll tell him. ayaw ko na maging masokista.

Left brain- wait gurl, pano naman yong very hot na si Matteo?

Right brain- eh ano naman siya?

Left brain- never ever ka na attract sa kanya?

Yuck!!! attract ka diyan! attract sa kasamaan ng ugali ng sungit na yon! jusko hell ang aabutin ko don!

Left brain- as if you are not in hell right now no? for loving a man who loves someone else!

Kakainis!!!!

Dear Yugi,

I love you.  Not as a brother, not as a best friend, but as a man. I love you like a woman loves a man. If  you will ask me why or how, I don't know. I loved you since we were small and I have never loved someone else but you. If you will say you didn't know, so I'm letting you know now. I love you. stop loving Lei...because I can love you back as feisty as you love her. I know I will never love someone else so I will wait until you will love me.

Kayla

bahala na si batman!!
