Built for Love

Chapter 13: Pakasal

Ashton Caesarea.

"Ash. Did you do your homework?" Inaantok naman akong bumaling sakanya.

Ha? We have a homework? What subject? Wala naman akong maalalang ibang homeworks namin bukod sa math eh. I'm sure, I did all of my homeworks last night before I went to bed. Well, I wasn't actually did some of my homework since my dad helped me do the others. I was really sleepy and lazy last night that I even lose focus doing my homework.

Eh paano ba naman kasi 'yan. Ginabi na din kami naka-uwi ni Hugo kahapon. Mga alas-sais ng naka-rating ang sundo ni Hugo na halos mag-sabay pa kaming umuwi nila Connor. Syempre hinatid na din namin ang dalawa as we promised. Pero sobrang layo lang ng bahay nila Rei kila Clive kaya pabalik-balik talaga kami 'nun. And Hugo asked me if I wanted to watch fireworks with him dahil may pasabog daw na magaganap sa isang bagong park.

And of course pumayag ako dahil gusto ko pang makasama ng matagal si Hugo and nawala sa isipan ko na madami kaming homework. Malandi na kung malandi basta gusto ko talagang makasama ng matagal si Hugo. To get to know him more, I'm sure there's still other side of him that I didn't know.

It was really fun, I could tell. Lalo na kapag kasama mo ang crush mo na nanonood ng firework. Sino bang hindi kikiligin 'dun? Last night was really romantic and I lost words to describe how I enjoyed watching fireworks with him. Naramdaman ko na kung anong feeling ng inlove.

It's kind of hard and scary but... It's all worth it naman if the boy that you like, likes you too in the end. And I'm not assuming anything that maybe Hugo likes me too.

Well there's a hint in my mind and assumptions that he might like me. I have a lot of reasons in my mind that proof that he likes me too but part of me didn't believed it. I'm not really the type of girl that will assume based on my prediction.

Dahil siguro ganun lang si Hugo, he's acting kind or gentleman. Siguro para sakanya walang meaning 'yung pang-trato nya sayo pero sa ibang babae baka bigyan nila ng meaning. Pero kagaya nga ng sabi ko, hindi ako assumerang tao. Hahayaan ko 'yung lalakeng sya ang mag-sabi na gusto nya ako. Hindi ako mang-hahabol dahil hindi gawain ng babaeng 'yan.

Besides Hugo is just my crush, an inspiration perhaps... for now.

"Hoy! May homework talaga tayo?!" Tanong ko kay Rei sabay hila ng siko nya. Sya naman itong muntik ng mapa-upo sa sahig at buti nalang nakahawak sya sa likod ng upuan ng nasa harapan namin.

"Aray ko naman! Oo meron, magtatanong ba ako kung wala?" Pasigaw nyang saad na napakamot pa sa ulo nya.

Agad na nanlaki ang mata ko sa narinig ko. Omygosh! So meron talaga kaming homework? Pero alam kong nagawa ko naman lahat-lahat kagabai before I sleep. My parents even checked if I did all of my homeworks. Teka nga! Ano bang subject?

"What subject?" Tanong ko. Wag mo naman sabihin saakin na ngayong umagang subject ang homework namin na hindi ko maalalang nagawa ko kagabi?

Mababaliw ako kapag ganun!

"First subject beh! Science! Don't tell me you didn't do it too?" Gulat nyang tanong saakin at sabay naman kaming napahawak sa bunganga namin. Tumango ako bilang sagot sa tanong nya.

"Wala akong maalalang may nagawa akong homework na science subject kagabi. Pagod na pagod kasi ako kagabi eh," Problemado kong saad atsaka humaba ang nguso ko.

Sya naman itong napakurap na parang may nakakagulat sa sinabi ko. "Ano?"

"Wala, wala. Excuse my dirty mind." Ani nya na napangisi pang kinuha ang notebook ng nasa harapan nya at pinukpok 'yun sa ulo ni Clive na kanina pa natutulog.
