Chapter 39
I can hear my heartbeat so loud. His voice and his words are sending me shivers!
He... loves me?
I just can't... comprehend it!
"Sinasabi mo lang ba iyan para..." I paused. "Hindi ako tumuloy sa Batanes?"
Naningkit ang mga mata ko.
Malay mo naman, hindi ba? May possibility!
Nagsalubong ang kilay niya. "I did not gather all my courage just so you can... think like that."
So... totoo nga?
He loves me, too?
Hindi ko mapigilang mapangiti-na tinanggal ko rin, kalunan. I don't want him to see that I am so into him!
"Okay, then... you love me." Nagpatay malisya ako. "Ano naman ang gusto mong sabihin ko? Magpakasal na tayo?"
"Anything aside from that."
Nag-iwas ako ng tingin. "You're not dating to marry? O... hanggang... landi lang talaga ang kaya mo sa akin? Or wait... do you even want me in a serious relationship? Anong kasunod nito? Fling and all?"
He chuckled.
"Huwag mo nga akong tawanan! I am not joking!"
"I'm sorry. That's my heart's automatic response. You're just making it so happy..."
I rolled my eyes. "Whatever, William!"
"Are you mad?"
"Obviously?" Umirap ulit ako. "I mean... how can't I be mad? You rejected me many times! Tapos parang hindi ka naman pala seryoso sa akin ngayong umamin ka! Kasi what? I'm a girl that will just... quickly pass on your life! I know I am not girlfriend material, I am aware! Pero kasi..."
Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit bigla na lang akong naluha.
Tears of joy at inis... siguro.
"Hey..." He licked his lips. He gently wiped my tears using his thumb. "Why are you crying? I did not confirm any of your assumptions..."
"Fuck you." I glared at him. "Alam mo bang umiyak ako noong unang beses na ni-reject mo ako?"
"Sorry, Yllena... hmm?" He pulled my waist and hugged me lightly. "Sa dami ng naging boyfriends mo noon, akala ko... ganoon lang din ang nararamdaman mo sa'kin."
I immediately got his point. Inis akong sumimangot at kumalas sa yakap niya.
"Ang kapal ng mukha mo. You mean to say, I was just... lusting you?"
"Hindi ba?"
"Hindi, 'no!"
Malagkit ang mga titig niya sa'kin. "Really?"
"Why are you pressing me? Ikaw ang dapat kong tinatanong!" I said. "Iyon lang ba talaga ang dahilan kung bakit mo ako ni-reject? I know you have thought about the possibility na baka... na-fall talaga ako sa'yo in actuality. Ano? Aminin mo!"
He licked his lips.
"You confessed to me when you were fourteen. Sa tingin mo... anong iisipin ko noong mga panahong iyon?"
"I don't know. Like... I am still a child?"
"Exactly..." He kissed the tip of my nose.
"Bakit, though? Hindi naman ganoon kalaki ang age gap natin. It's just... four years."
"Still... you're not in the right age."
I crossed my arms. Nagkakagulo talaga ang mga questions sa utak ko about these things! My god!
