COME A LITTLE CLOSER The Sequel [COMPLETED]

0022: MELODY'S POV

"Thank you for taking care of me" I said and Chian just looked at me

The same eyes na laging nakatingin sa akin but this time, all I can see is just a concern coming from a friend

"No worries, next time, makinig ka na kay Paul"

"Sorry, I just want a breather from what happened"

"You want a breather pero hindi mo naisip na baka may accident or something?"

"I know the way, nadulas lang talaga ako. Wag kang ganyan" I said

"Fine. This would be the last time na magtitigas ka ng ulo" he said

"I'm sorry" I said

"Stop saying sorry"

"I mean, regarding sa napagusapan natin kanina" I said and he looked at me and sighed "look, you know people sometimes do and say crazy things when they're like, liking someone diba?"

He nodded

"I just realized that, I'm kinda selfish these past weeks"

"Kinda?" he scoffed "selfish, walang kinda"

"Fine" I replied and we both chuckled "I really tried to get you back but I think it's too late. I don't want to stress myself for being the kontrabida between you and Caren.  I'm just tired and I really miss being with you" I said

Chian just looked at me

"I'm sorry for everything. For taking you for granted nung nanliligaw ka pa sa akin and for the past days na I'm being stubborn because I really want you back"

"It's okay. I know this day will come, that you will understand and accept everything" Chian said "I know you so well" he grinned "thank you for taking this maturely, I guess we really are growing up"

"But let's not grow apart okay?" I asked

"Of course, me and Paul will stick to you like a glue"

"Wag naman ganyan. Paano ako magkakaboyfriend if you'll always be by my side?" I asked and we both laughed 

"We will try, like mga 5-8 inches away from you"

"No thanks" I replied  and we both laughed "anyway..."

"Uhm?"

"Love happily okay?" I asked and he nodded

"Actually, I'm gonna ask her today, I'm gonna ask her to be my girlfriend" he said

"I see" I replied and we looked at each other "good luck"

He smiled "thank you.... for everything, also. I mean, I literally grow up with you and Paul and did fun stuff together and learned from each other's mistakes. And.. I want us to be just like that. Hindi ko naman sinasabi na dapat magkasama lagi tayo but I just hope that, in the future, we'll be like this too. We'll stay as friends" he stopped "sabi mo nga, let's not grow apart"

I nodded "I'll assure you, we'll stay as friends"

"Really?"

"Ayaw mo?"

"Wala akong sinabi"

I chuckled

"Thank you" he said

"Wala naman na akong magagawa"

"You'll find someone better"

"Sana nga" I smiled "can you please give me a hug? It's the least you can do" I teased him

Then he suddenly hugged me

I just don't want to hear stuff like, 'I'm over you' from Chian. I mean, yes, he's over me pero hindi naman na niya dapat siguro ihilamos sa mukha ko yung fact na yon diba? I feel so defeated pero I am an ease. 

Maybe this is the reason why some people are letting go of the person they really like especially if they cannot reciprocate the love you are giving them. You will get hurt pero yung feeling na something heavy lifted from your chest

It's not really the best feeling but at the same time it's the best feeling for me
