No Ordinary Love

Chapter 9

Anne's POV

My birthday party is just finished.. and no Marcus appeared.. I am torn into pieces as I watch the visitors go home.. but I'm still hoping that he would be able to come..

"Anne, okay ka lang ba?" Joyce asked me.. 

"I'm okay Joyce thank you.." sagot ko sa kanya.. 

"Kung kailangan mo ng kausap.. just call us.." Offer nya sa akin... then the lovely couple went home and I realized ako na lang magisa

It's sad.. my bestfriend and I are drifting apart.. 

"Anne, promise.. pag malaki na tayo.. ikaw ang magiging girlfriend ko.." Sabi ng batang Marcus sa batang  ilalaim ng puno ng mangga sa burol

Time capsules.. Bicycle... videogames.. movies... all the things that connecting us keeps playing on my head like a sad love song..'

I cupped my face with my palm and cried hard...

I did not realize that I was running towards that tree.. The tree, the stars, and the moon are the witness how broken I am now..

Nakarinig ako ng familiar footsteps.. 

"Anne.. sorry.. I'm sorry.." 

Pilit kong inaalis ang mga kamay nya sa braso ko.. I'm not mad at him.. I just felt betrayed.. jealous and madly in love with him..

"Don't touch me!" I yelled as a bucket of tears poured down from my eyes.. maliwanag ang paligid.. moonlight shines over his face and I can see him crying

"Look I am so sorry." He said as he gave up comforting me..

I cried for hours.. then I realized that I cried enough.. 

"You know Marcus," I started to speak.. "I never knew that this would happen"

"It's my birthday.. All I ask from you is to be with me today.. then you can dump our frienship forever..'

"Anne.." He said but I cut him out

"Let me speak first.. Ito ang una at huli kong sasabihin ang mga bagay na ito sa iyo.. at di ko na uulitin pa.."

"Marami akong pinag sisishan na ginawa ko para sa yo.. isa na run yung tulungan kang mapalapit kay Jane.."

"Yeah, I have no right to get jealous.. Im your bestfriend" 

"Nasasaktan na ako.. di ko alam na... unti unti akong na aattch sayo.."

"I love you.. and not as a friend." 

Nakita ko ang expressions nya.. Oh Hell Yeah.. his signature  Pokerface

"Oh God! What i am saying this to you!" 

"Anne, alam mo naman kung sino talaga ang mahal ko.." He started tro dump me again 

Ako naman ang nakinig..

"Mahal kita bilang bestfriend at nakakabatang kapatid.. hanggang doon lang ang kaya ko.. i dont know na nag eexpect ka pala.."

"Oh man that hurts.." I grinned.. 

"I'm sorry.. but that is true.."

"Yeah I know.. kasi nag promise ka sa akin nung mga bata pa tayo eh.."

"Anne.. don't be so childish.."

"Chindish? alright Marcus.. I am being childish.."

Tumayo ako.. Nag decide ako na this will be the end..

"I'm sorry for loving you.." I smiled..

"Anne.. sorry" He said.. Hell yeah.. his word for today SORRY

"Stop being sorry about it Mr. Cho.. It kills me.. I makes me look like a garbage" 

"Anne.." He said but I cut him out again

"Let's forget everything.. Go on with your life.. at ganun din ako.." 

Tumahimik sya.. Maririnig mo ang huni ng mga crickett sa paligid..

I took a deep breath as I come close to him and kissed him on his lips..

"I love you Mr. Marcus Cho.. You are my first love.. I guess this is the end of everything.. Pag tayo ko dito.. I am not your friend anymore.." 

I see tears coming out of his eyes...

"Bye Macoy.. see you around." i stood up and walk away from the childhood place.. our secret place that witnessed broken promises

Marcus' POV

Her word.. strucked my heart with arrows of truth..

As I see her walk away.. all the memories we shared in this hill flashed back..

Kilala ko sya.. pag sinabi nya.. ginagawa nya.. Unlike me.. I promised her a lot of things but none of it are done..

 Umuwi ako na sya ang laman ng isip ko..

Tumingala ako sa bintana ng kwarto nya.. Patay na ang mga ilaw.. 

Di ko maintindhan ang nararamdaman ko... Nasasaktan ako...

We drifted apart.. 

 Ano ba itong nararamdaman ko.. parang kalahati ng buhay ko ang nawala sa akin.. 

"I love you Mr. Marcus Cho.. You are my first love.. " parang sirang plaka.. paulit ulit...

I try to get some sleep.. but I can't.. 

i admire her courage.. na wala ako.. Porma lang naman kasi ang alam kong gawin..

Paano kaya bukas? sana nagbibiro lang sya... Na tuluyan na nya akong kakalimutan...
