Playful Hearts

Chapter 2

Charles' POV
Its been a week since nung dinner namin ni Ivy, and di ko parin siya kinakausap, I mean after forcing her to love me ang kapal naman siguro ng mukha ko para kausapin siya, but right now im burdened.
Iinom sana ako but kumatok sa pinto ko "pasok" "Charles" "ate Kera" "you do know you cant drink on the job" "im sorry, I just have to, it helps me relax" "what is up with you guys lately" "I, I dont know if kaya kung pagusapan yun" "listen you do know you could tell me, let me guess this is about my sister" "part of it, I mean its my fault, maybe I shouldnt have just forced her to tell me what she feels for me, maybe I shouldve just accepted that she only wants friendship, maybe were still talking and none of these" "ok enough look, I know her, she'll warm up but did she" "did she reject me, yes she said that this for her is just friendship" "I know your important for her, she cares about you Im sure of that, your more than a friend to her" " well you cant just say that, you dont control her feelings, you dont know what she feels" "yes I dont, but for a fact I know that shes trying her best to not to fall inlove with you, cause your her best friend and she doesnt want to lose that friendship" "she said and the best thing to right now is to well give her distance give her all the space she needs" " if you say so"

Ivy Claire's POV
Im anxious right now, I feel bad, its been a week and we still havent talked, I havent even reconcilled to him, gusto ko siyang kausapin, pero mukhang ayaw niya akong kausapin.

After a long drive nakauwi na ako, papasok na sana ako sa kwarto ng nakita ko si ate "really" "what" pagtataka ko "if your mad kasi late nanaman ako umuwi wag na" sabi ko pa "im not mad about that, sanay na ako sa ugali mong yan, but why" "why what" "why do you have to reject him ha, you know you rejecting him could have cost your friendship" "kinausap mo siya" "oo, well, nagkaka-ilangan kasi kayo sa office thats way too unusual" "ate naman please wag mo na yong pakealaman" "how can I not, ano ha di na lang kayo magpapansinan, you have been friends with him since you were young, and alam nating pareho na mahal na mahal ka niya, and I do know you feel the same way as he does" "yeah we have been friends, and aaminin ko right now, I want to talk to him, but mukhang ayaw niya naman akong kausapin" "its because he feels guilty of what happened, gusto ka niyang kausapin pero he wants to give you space, so paano kayo magkakabati if di kayo magkakausap" "you know what ate wag mo na lang pakealaman yun ok, theres always a way, but nows not the right time" "then when, during the time na you handa ka nang mahalin siya but you already lost him ha" "ate please wag ka na lang makealam"

Nagmemeeting ngayon ang board ng kompanya and ofcourse magkasama kaming dalawa, magkatabi yet walang kibuan, walang pansinan maybe tama sinabi ni ate the guilt that he feels is preventing him from talking to me, natatakot ako baka if kausapin ko siya mas masira lang yung friendship namin. At sa wakas natapos na din ang meeting lumabas na ang lahat, at kaming dalawa na lang ang natira, aalis na sana siya pero bigla ko siyang pinigilan, di ko alam kung anong pumasok sa isip at pinigilan ko siya, parang di ko naman siya kayang kausapin pero kailangan, "uhmm" "do you need anything" "Charles" "look kung wala kang sasabihing importante, aalis na ako, I have important things to do, goodbye."
Anong ginawa ko mas lalo pa atang lumayo ang loob niya sa akin, tama si ate, hindi na pwedeng tumagal pa to, baka mawala pa siya sa akin kung kelan naman handa na akong bigyan siya ng chance, lumalayo na siya sakin.

Charles' POV
What have I done, I shouldve took the chance to talk to her, baka layuan niya na ako ng tuluyan dahil sa ginawa ko. I dont know how but I know I have to talk to her.
I was at the parking lot when I saw ate Kera, I called on her"ate Kera" "yes Charles" "I need your help, I have to talk to her, I have to say sorry" "well if thats what you want you better not waste anymore time" "why" "well Im sure this is the best time to tell you this, but she has to attend the business meet at UK and thats for a month" "when is she leaving" "a week from now" "maybe I could just wait till she comes back" "Charles di ka nag iisip, look im trying my best to be a matchmaker here, kasi alam kong mahal niyo ang isat isa, and your helping her move on, Charles if pinatagal mo pa, di mo ba naiisip" "na ano" "really, na baka sa pagalis niya mas lalo ka niya di pansinin kasi di kayo nagkabati before she does leave" "di ko ata kayang madaliin" "then why ask for my help right now" " cause maybe pwedeng ikaw na lang ang kumausap sa kanya" "Charles, im not doing all for you bahala ka, if you dont want to make a move, but if your mind comes up with something tell me then Ill help you"

Ivy Claire's POV
Di ako pwedeng umalis, hangang di kami nagkakabati, I have to make it up with him, ayaw kong magka-sama ng loob when I leave, I want everything fine, ayaw ko na neto, sobra ng nakakasakal.
"I know its rude for me to enter without knocking, but" "you know what ate come in, I need your advice right now" "if this is about sa ginawa mo kanina, all I could say it was a great step, yet di ka dapat umatras" "sinabi niya sayo" "yes, im playing great at this match making game right now, im gonna suggest the same thing to you, you better talk to each other before leaving" "how ate, I want to talk to him, yet he" "I know, kinabahan lang siya, kasi ayaw niyang mawala ang friendship niyo"
