Best Part Of Me (BOOK 1) || Wattys 2019 (COMPLETED)

FIFTEEN

Athena Jophiel

It was just an ordinary for us. Wala pa silang panibagong schedule para sa kanilang performance sa ibang tv shows. Nasa bahay lamang kaming dalawa at hindi namin alam ang gagawin. Binalaan ni Timothy ang Bangtan at TXT na huwag munang bumisita dito ngayong araw. Nag-react naman ang kapatid kong si Cody dahil sa naging desisyon niya, pero hinayaan niya ito kinalauan. May tiwala naman siya kay Timothy.

"Love..." Bored kong pagtawag sa kanya.

"Hmm?"

Humiga naman ako sa sofa. "Hindi ka ba nabobored? Tsaka kanina pa tahimik 'tong bahay na 'to. Papuntahin mo nalang kasi sila dito."

He raised his eyebrow. "Nope. Ayoko. Gusto kitang masolo ngayong araw eh. Ayokong may mga asungot dito ngayon sa bahay natin."

"Wow. Asungot pala sila. Sumbong kita kay Cody." Sambit ko habang nakangisi. Nagkunwari akong nagtetetext kay Cody. Agad naman siyang tumakbo saka hinablot ang phone ko. "Hoy! Ibalik mo phone ko!"

He stucked his tongue out. "Itatago ko muna 'to para hindi mo sila matext o matawagan." Aniya sabay tago ng phone ko sa kanyang bulsa.

"Tsk." I hissed. Napaupo na lamang ako sa sofa. Bigla namang kumalam ang aking tiyan. Natawa naman siya dahil narinig niya ito.

"Gutom na naman ang baby love ko, ah." Sambit niya saka umupo sa tabi ko. "What do you want?"

"Ano ba meron sa ref?"

He chuckled. "As usual, my banana milk."

Natawa naman ako sa sagot niya. Banana milk lover talaga 'tong kuneho na 'to.

"Okay. Can I have some, please?" Tanong ko sa kanya while doing an aegyo.

He laughed and pinched my cheek. "Aigoo! My love is so fucking cute!"

Agad naman siyang tumayo saka nagtungo sa ref. Pagbalik niya'y may bitbit na siyang anim na banana milk.

"Tig-tatlo tayo." Sambit niya saka binigay sa akin ang isang babana milk. Ang apat nama'y inilapag niya sa center table at ang isa'y ininom niya.

"Sigurado ka bang mabubusog ka diyan sa banana milk, love?" Tanong niya na may halong pag-aalala.

I nodded while taking a sip of my drink. "Yup. Hindi pa naman ako masyadong gutom talaga eh."

"Pero ang lakas ng pagkalam ng tiyan mo kanina. Yun ba ang hindi masyadong gutom?" Sambit niya habang natatawa.

I just rolled my eyes on him saka inubos ang iniinom kong banana milk.

Bigla naman niyang inilapag sa mesa ang banana milk na ininom niya. Nagulat ako nang bigla niyang hinawakan ang mga kamay ko at pinaharap ako sa kanya.

"A-Ano meron, love?"

He just smiled and cleared his throat. Weird. Ano ba meron? Bigla akong nagulat nung kumanta siya.

(A/N: play the video above.)

Do you remember when I said I'd always be there?
Ever since we were fifteen, baby

Natawa naman ako nang bigla niyang pinalitan ang lyrics ng kanta.

When we were out on the playground playing pretend
I didn't know it back then

Now I realize you were the only one
It's never too late to show it
Grow old together
Have feelings we had before
Like we were so innocent

I got teary eyed. This man really never failed to amaze me and to make me feel so special.

I pray for all your love
Girl, your love is so unreal
I just wanna reach and touch you, squeeze you
Somebody pinch me
This is something like a movie
And I don't know how it ends, girl
But I fell in love with my best friend

"L-Love..."

He put his index finger on my lips saka siya umiling. Senyas na huwag muna akong magsalita. Kasi hindi pa tapos ang patalastas niya.

Through all the dudes that came by
And all the nights that you cried
Girl, I was there right by your side

Yes. He was there when Brian and I broke up. He never left me.

How could I tell you I loved you
When you were so happy
With some other guy?

It must be really hard for him that time. Pero ngayon, nasa kanya na ako. Wala nang kahirap hirap sa kanya ang pagsasabi ng 'I love you' sa akin araw-araw.

Now I realize you were the only one
It's never too late to show it
Grow old together
Have feelings we had before
When we were so innocent

He was smiling at me while singing. Hindi ko naman mapigilan ang sarili ko sa pag-iyak. Ano ba, napaka-iyakin ko naman kahit sa simpleng bagay lang na ginagawa niya.

I know it sounds crazy
That you'd be my baby

"I am your baby." I uttered and he smiled widely.

Girl, you mean that much to me
And nothing compares when
We're lighter than air and
We don't wanna come back down
And I don't wanna ruin what we have
Love is so unpredictable
But it's the risk that I'm taking
Hoping, praying
You'd fall in love with your best friend

Love is really unpredictable. Hindi ko inaasahang maiinlove ako sa kanya. Sa dating itinuturing kong best friend. And he took all the risk para lang maging masaya kami pareho.

I pray for all your love
Girl, your love is so unreal
I just wanna reach and touch you, squeeze you
Somebody pinch me
This is something like a movie
And I don't know how it ends, girl
But I fell in love with you, best friend

Pinalitan niya ulit ang lyrics ng kanta sa dulo. I smiled at him. He wiped my tears and kissed my forehead.

Do you remember when I said I'd always be there
Ever since we were fifteen, baby~

We both smiled at each other nang matapos siyang kumanta.

"Aigoo, my girlfriend is such a crybaby." Sambit niya habang pinupunasan pa din ang pisngi ko gamit ang kanyang hinlalaki.

"I-Ikaw kasi, eh." I uttered. Bigla naman niya akong niyakap.

"I love you, Athena Jophiel Min."

I broke the hug and kissed him gently.

"I love you too, Timothy Jeon."

Yung ordinaryong araw lang ngayon ay ginawa niyang extraordinary. Napasaya niya ako ng sobra. Kaya mahal na mahal ko 'tong lalaking 'to. Ang sarap niya magmahal at ang sarap niyang mahalin. I am so damn lucky to have him. My best friend. My everything. My Timothy Jeon.
