Crush
"You like me?" I asked again and fake a laugh "Hahaha nag bibiro ka na naman eh." I said.
While I was laughing nanatiling seryoso ang kanyang mukha kaya hindi na ako natawa.
"I am serious Lily" mariin niyang sabi. "I already accepted you on ig you can see it for yourself. I posted something you haven't agreed on so I am letting you know in case."
"I- I don't know what to say.." I didn't even dare to look at him. I felt unsure
Gusto kong tumakbo kahit na mabasa pa ako ng ulan. I don't know what to feel.
Naramdaman kong humigit siya ng malalim na hininga.
"It's okay Lily, I understand. Maaring naiisip mo na mabilis ang panyayari pero hindi... I've been thinking of you a lot since the first time I saw you."
I looked at him "Mabilis nga- hindi mo ba naisip na baka c-crush lang ang nararamdaman mo?"
His side lip rose "I don't do crushes Lily.. Hahaha I'm 24 years old for Pete's sake."
Mukhang hindi siya makapaniwala sa sinabi ko. My eyebrows raised.
"No one's too old for crushes" asik ko
Umiling siya "Say whatever you like Lily but this feeling I have... I'm sure this isn't define as to what crush means."
Him saying this stuff make my heart beat fast and knees to tremble kahit naka upo pa ako.
I opened the door of his car and jumped out, shut the door and run to our house. I cannot spend another second in there! Mahihimatay ako I need to spare myself.
"Maam bakit ho kayo basa ng ulan? Sana tinawagan nyo ho ako para nakakuha ako ng payong." sabi ni Manang pagkatapos kong pumasok sa bahay na basa ng ulan.
"Okay lang manang.. Maliligo rin ho ako eh."
Paalis na sana ako nung dinapian niya ang aking noo.
"Mukhang namumutla po kayo pero mukhang hindi naman." She checked my face "Masama ba pakiramdam niyo ho Maam?" May bahig ng pag alala ni Manang
"Ah wala ho.. Maayos po ang pakiramdam ko hehe."
I can feel my cheeks going to explode due to blushing so I excused myself at pumasok na ng kwarto at naligo. Hindi parin ako makapaniwala did Yolo just confessed to me? Marami naman ang may gusto sa akin noon pero bakit parang iba na kapag si Yolo ang nagsabi. Isn't it fast? Baka may topak lang yun kaya nagbibiro pero.. his face looks so serious.
I shrug it off and kept my mind busy and started to scrub my body.. higit isang oras akong nasa banyo. Binlower ko narin ang buhok ko at nagsuot na ng pajamas.
Bumaba ako para sana manood ng tv kasama sana si Mommy pero hindi ko siya nahanap. I saw Manang cooking so I asked her.
"Manang.. Nasaan si Mommy?"
"Umalis po siya kanina ma'am di ko alam san nag punta. Hindi niya po ba kayo sinabihan?"
That's weird. Nagtetext yun every time aalis I got my phone and tried to call her but her phone's busy so I texted her instead.
