Pretty Much
Chapter Twenty-five
In a haste, I massaged my temples after putting down my book. Normally, relaxing ang plane ride ko every year. Kahit nga no'ng first time ko pa. But today was different, I feel sick.
Kahit ano yata gawin ko, 'di ako mapakali. Kanina ko pa nga 'to dala bago ako bumyahe. Hinablot ko na 'yung libro ko sa apartment para distraction. Pero walang talab. I was reading but I can't understand a single thing.
'Di rin ako makatulog kasi nakaupo ako. Ako na lang yata ang pasaherong hindi natutulog dito. Ang aga kasi mag-board ng flight.
Something was bugging me eversince last night. I knew what it was but I guess, suppressing it the whole time just worsen everything.
Yesterday, I told myself that I have the answer but that doesn't mean that I know what to do with it.
This feels like having a secret but it felt wrong keeping it or not sharing it to others.
What JC said yesterday was hard to swallow. Imagine, 'yung taong matagal mo nang tinititigan mula sa malayo biglang gusto kang ligawan? That scene only comes in books and movies, not in real life!
Thank God for Christmas break so I won't have to deal with him the next day. It really scared me off because this feels so sudden.
It's not as if nabibilisan ako 'cause God knows how many times I fantasized this moment. Talagang hindi lang ako makapaniwalang ito na 'yon, na nangyayari na ngayon sa harap ko.
It's crazy how I've imagined this and not thought of what I must do if it ever happen. Being stranded with him for a night was certainly a luck but to end up courting me? That was way imposible.
He didn't even explain anything and just bluntly confessed. Taray, confess talaga ang term? Parang ang ganda ko namang hampaslupa.
But in all seriousness, sige nga, sinong matinong tao ang hindi mapapaisip sa ganitong sitwasyon?
There were so many questions I have in mind but I was clearly in the state of shock to ask them all yesterday. And to my dismay, I have to brought them all throughout this supposed to be vacation.
I was yawning when we landed. Mas nakakahilo pa lang bumyahe nang malayo kapag wala kang katulog tulog at may iniisip ka pa.
Hindi ako nagsabi na ngayon ako uuwi kasi hindi naman sila tumawag kagabi. Dati sinusundo pa nila ako galing airport pero okay na ring biglaan para hindi na sila mapagod. Ang layo pa kasi dito papunta sa bahay namin.

"Ate April!" sigaw ng cute na batang lalaki at niyakap ang mga binti ko nang tumigil ako sa harap ng bahay.
