Aya's Confusion(Book 1)[Gxg]

F2. Fall Out

"SO, HAVE you figured about it?" biglang naitanong ni Aya. Nakaunan ang ulo niya sa bisig ni Yuna habang nakahiga.

Nagsalubong ang kilay ni Yuna sa tanong. Sa noo nito ay may nakapatong pa ring icepack. "Figure about what?"

Aya hesitated for a bit before answering. "You said we're going to talk about it," she said meaningfully.

For a while, Yuna seemed to be clueless, but then, her eyes blinked in realization. "Oh... That."

Aya felt it when Yuna's body slightly tensed. "Mm-hm. So?"

Yuna sighed. Inalis nito ang icepack sa noo at biglang bumangon sa kama. Pagkatapos ay inalalayan din si Aya na maupo.

Sinalubong ni Aya ang mga mata nito. Yuna held her hands and they were face to face.

"All right. I'm going to be honest with you..." masuyo itong tumitig sa kanya, "I really, really like you, Aya," puno ng emosyong wika nito, "heck, it's maybe even more than that. Like is not a proper word for it. I care for you, Aya. In more ways you can imagine." Yuna sighed.

Parang masusunog naman ang pisngi ni Aya sa kilig na nararamdaman. Masaya siyang marinig na mayroon siyang halaga para dito. She was really insecured when it came to Yuna.

Nagpatuloy ito sa pagsasalita, "and you're the first one. I have never liked any girl in my life before, until you came. I couldn't even understand on myself why. I just did," anitong napakibit. "I refused to accept it at first. But I don't know what you have done to me. You keep invading my thoughts, my sleep... until I couldn't take it anymore. So, here I am."

Aya's heart swelled with joy upon hearing those words from Yuna. "I like you too. And I've never desired any woman as much as I desire you," she blurted. Napakagat-labi siya sa pag-aming iyon, pero sa tingin niya ay oras na para magpakatotoo. "But what I want to know is... How do I stand in your life, Yuna? What are we?"

Yuna was slightly taken aback by the question. It took her a moment to answer.

"I... I'm sorry. I can't put us a label yet. I'm still confused. It's just that... I don't know how to handle this.  Truth is... I'm really avoiding that question, because I don't know what to answer. My parents is another thing... They'll probably kill me if they knew. They're my biggest problem," nakatungong pahayag ni Yuna na tila nahihiya rin sa sarili.

Ilang sandaling walang namagitan sa kanila pagkatapos noon.

Hindi rin alam ni Aya ang isasagot. "Your parents... How was they like?" naitanong na lang niya.

Biglang tumawa ng mapait si Yuna. "Trust me, you don't want to know. You'll instantly hate them at first sight."

"Hey..." saway ni Aya dito, "it's your parents."

Umiling si Yuna. "You don't know them. They're both very hateful human beings," may gigil sa tono nito.

Napakunot si Aya habang nakatitig dito. Anong klase bang mga tao ang mga magulang nito at gayon na lang ito kung magsalita.

"But let's not talk about them," agad na pag-dismiss ni Yuna sa usapan, "let's talk about us." Parang humihingi ng pang-unawa ang mga mata ni Yuna habang nakatingin sa kanya. "Can we just keep it like this? I like you, and you like me. We're happy, aren't we? I promise I'll figure it out, but right now... It's just really hard. I hope you understand."

Aya met Yuna's eyes. The redhead seemed sincere. She weighed everything in her mind, and she thought that maybe it was worth a shot. "All right."

A smile broke on Yuna's face. "Thank you." She pulled Aya for a hug.
