Just A UniPhant Story

-8-

Gabb's POV

Oh no! I did not expect things to go like this. Earlier I asked for ate Ecka's help so I can confess to ate Ella but it turns out she thought that I like ate Rans, I assume she's the one who slammed the door to our shared room the other day. Everyone was surprised when ate Ella raised her voice, usually she's not the type of person who will raised her voice even though she's mad.

"Sundan mo na." Ate Belle said, I just gave her a nod then followed her inside the resort.

"Ate Ella wait!" I called her but she just kept on walking. "Sabi ko wait!" I grabbed her arm stopping her on her tracks, as I stood up in front of her I saw tears falling from her eyes making me to widen her eyes. "Let me explain, hayaan mo akong sabihin ang lahat." I said, she yanked her arm away from my grip pushing me aside and starts walking again.

"Wala kang dapat iexplain Gabb, ang sakin lang itigil mo na yung mga actions mo na pasweet kasi wala namang camera eh, wala tayo sa kumu para magpa kilig ng mga fans." She enters the room with me tailing her. "Bumalik kana kay Rans baka kung anong isipin niya."

"Pwede ba ate pakinggan mo muna ako." I pleaded.

"Gabb please lang iwan mo muna ako gusto kong magpa..."

"Ate Ella mahal kita!" I said cutting her off. "Mahal kita." I repeated this time much gentle, I looked at her eyes and saw her looking at me confusedly. "Yung inaakala mo na confession kay ate Rans, para sayo yun." She blinked and tears started falling again. It pains me to see her crying. "Nag papatulong ako sakanya kung paano ako aamin sayo, kung anong dapat kong sabihin." She just stood there, I took a step forward wishing she will not back away. I sigh in relief as she did not stepped back, holding her hands I smiled at her.

"Ang balak ko pa naman sana na umamin sayo in a romantic way." Caressing the back of her hand using my thumb I cannot help but to feel overwhelmed as finally I told her what I feel. "I never thought that someone will be this special to me until you came ate." Lifting my head I gave her a smile. "At nung sinabi ko na masaya ako na bumalik ka ng MNL totoo yun, sobrang saya ko na bumalik ka at mas nakilala kita."

"Gabb..." She whispered. "Mahal mo ako?" She asked earning a nod from me. My eyes widen when she suddenly cried much harder this time. I panicked I don't know what to do.

"Ate Ella.." I called. "Ate anong problema?" I asked worriedly.

"Masaya lang ako." She replied. "Masaya ako kasi mahal mo rin pala ako."

"Oo mahal kita." I said, cupping both of her cheeks I wiped her years using my thumb. "Mahal kita." I repeated earning the most beautiful smile from her.

"Mahal din kita." If it is possible for my heart doing some backflips, I am sure it is doing some backflips and stunts as ate Ella say those words. "Mahal kita Gabb." I can't help it, I pulled ate Ella for a hug which she returned.

We stayed in the balcony, sitting in silence holding each others hand. I am still in cloud nine after confessing to her and hearing those words that kept on replaying in my head.

"Bakit ka naka ngiti?" She asked me tilting her head to the side.

"Kasi sabi mo mahal mo ako." A blush crept on her cheeks which look so adorable to be honest. "Pero ano na tayo?" I asked frowning a little. "Sinabihan na natin ang isa't isa ng mahal kita." She leaned her back to her seat looking at the scenery in front of us.

"Tao na nag mamahalan, yun tayo." She replied smiling.

"Ang ibig kong sabihin tayo na ba officially?" I asked hoping that she will say yes, though if she wanted to take things slow I will definitely will wai...

"Oo." She answered with a smile. "Oo official na tayo, since sinabi na natin yung word na mahal kita at ang dami kayang may gusto sayo baka mamaya maagawan pa ako eh." Both of us smiled, I know the last part of what she said is just a joke.

"Kahit sino pang may gusto sa akin walang makakaagaw sakin kasi nga diba iyo lang ako." Leaning closer I cupped her cheek caressing it with my thumb. Oh my gosh! Am I having my first kiss? Slowly we both leaned in, I can feel her breathe hitting my lips.

"I love you." I whispered closing my eyes.

"I love you too." With that we closed the gap. I feel light headed as our lips touched. This is both our first kiss and I am happy to share it with her. As soon as our lips pull away I leaned my forehead with hers a smile plastered on my lips.

"Wow." I whispered making her to chuckle.

"Yeah wow." Pulling away I looked at her eyes.

"Should I drop the ate at tawagin ka nalang Ella or..."

"Drop mo na yung ate para hindi awkward." Both of us laugh with me nodding my head.

"Okay..." I paused smiling at her. "Ella."

Third POV

The remaining girls of MNL48 are getting worried as it's been two hours since Ella and Gabb disappeared.

"Hindi naman sila nagpatayan diba?" Sheki asked as she kept on walking back and fro while they all seated around the bonfire.

"Ano na nangyare sa dalawa?" Rans asked worriedly.

"Kung pasukin na kaya natin sila?" Ecka asked scratching the back of her head.

"Mukhang di na kailangan ate." Coleen said catching her ates attention. She pointed towards the resort where they saw Gabb and Ella walking hand in hand with huge smile on their faces.

"Sorry kung natagalan kami." Gabb said swaying her linked hand with Ella.

"Anong nangyare?" Daryll asked looking at the two.

"Wala naman." Ella said giggling with Gabb. "Tara continue natin yung activity." She said pulling Gabb down to sit right next to her.

"Ang hirap kapag in love." Frances whispered to Jaydee. "Grabe ang switch ng mood, kanina maypa walk out walk out oa tapos ngayon acting as if nothing happened." Jaydee laughs shaking her head.

"Hayaan mo nalang sila, di ka ba happy na real na yung UniPhant." Jaydee asked. "Diba sila ang parents mo dito sa MNL?"

"Happy ako syempre." She smiled watching as Ella and Gabb look so happy. "Buti at nagka alaman na kasi sobrang hirap na ang obvious sa atin about sa feelings nila pero sila sobrang oblivious." Jaydee nodded in agreement. "Muntik ko nangang sabihin na mag confess na sila sa isa't isa sa sobrang frustrated ko sa kanila. Ang hirap kaya mag patay malisya lalo na kung sila lang ang hindi nakakaalam na gusto pala nila ang isa't isa." It is true, everyone in their group knows that they liked each other, they even dropped some hints and clues but both girls are just oblivious. All of them sigh in relief that finally Gabb had a courage to confess to Ella.

On the other hand Cole watched as Coleen sings with their members. She leaned closer to Coleen to whisper something.

"Okay lang na ikaw na ang baby." She suddenly said, as Coleen turns her head to face Cole her eyes widen to see how close their faces are, their nose touching. "Basta ako ang baby mo, isusuko ko na ang pagiging baby ng MNL." Satisfied with what she said and making Coleen to blush madly she pulled away smiling. Coleen just looked at Cole with still surprised expression.

"Anong..."

"Alam mo na yun Coco, basta ako ang baby mo okay lang sakin isuko ang title ng pagiging baby ng MNL48." Standing up she patted Coleen's head.  "Kukuha lang akong maiinom natin." She said walking towards where the drinks are. She might seems to be confident but she just gathered her courage to tell those words to Coleen.

"Cool yun Cole." She mumbled as she pour hers and Coleen a drink. "Cool yun, kinilig yun nag blush siya eh." She took a deep breath trying to calm herself. "Keep it cool, remember being Coleen's baby ang target mo." She mumbled before heading back to where Coleen is sitting.

Hi guys hope you liked it! Know it's kinda meh but still hope you enjoyed and liked it.
