Opposite Attracts (ONHOLD)

Chapter 14

X's POV

Andito ako ngayon sa Restaurant na sinabi ni Faith sakin kagabi. She really want me and Niguel to have a talk. At para na rin sa ikakapanatag ng aking kaibigan, ay hindi ko nalang ito tinanggihan.

Im about 30 minutes waiting pero wla parin sya. Though im early for 10 minutes before the said time of meeting pero late pa rin sya. I understand naman him kasi nasabi sakin ni Faith na pag Saturday ay busy talaga itong si Niguel on working in thier own company.

After almost an hour ay dumating na rin si Niguel wearing a simple Mint green polo shirt paired with Jeans and cool kicks. He really is handsome. Masasabi kong may parte parin si Niguel dito sa puso ko. Syempre, first love ko sya ee.

"Penny for your thoughts, Zee?" Niguel. Di ko namalayan nasa harapan ko na pala sya. Napatawa nalang ito nang nakita akong namula. Syet! Baka isipin nyang may gusto pa rin ako sa kanya kaya ako natutulala.

"Di ka parin nagbabago, ikaw parin ang Zee na nakilala ko" He said sabay tap ng balikat ko. "So, what will you eat? Yung dati?" He continued. I just nodded and he laughed lightly.

Actually, we "Dated" here. Had some lunch and little talk. Ee yung mga panahon na yun ay hindi ko pa alam ang mga pagkain dito kaya sya na pumili.

While waiting for the food ay hindi ko na alam ang gagawin ko. I am just staring outside the window. I felt awkwardness. I should start talking..

"Ahmm about dun sa backstage, sor--"

"No need to apologize, Zee. Ako nga tong dapat mag sorry sayo kasi i dated your bestfriend" He said. I saw regrets in his eyes. Napatango nlng ako.

"That time, di pa ako sure sa nararamdaman ko para sayo. I never see my self loving a guy like you. Im just thinking it as an experience that time. Di ko namalayan, minamahal na pala kita. Oo, i loved you, Zee. Dun ko lang na realize na minahal kita nung umiwas ka na sakin. And i dont want to be martyr. So i stopped loving you. I even transfered school para lang matakasan ang sakit na feeling na di ka pinapansin mahal mo."

I dont know what to react. I never expected that Niguel loved me. All i was thinking is they cheated on me. Ngayon, parang naiintindihan ko na ang sitwasyon.

"Sorry din, kasi binaon ko ng galit at pu-ot ang aking puso kaya hindi na ako nakapag-isip ng posibleng rason kung bakit mo nagawa yun." I saw a little drop of teardrop from his eyes. Parang naiiyak na rin ako. I was about to cry when i saw the waiter papunta samin to serve our food. I immediately wiped my eyes and so as Niguel. Nagtawanan nalang kami when we saw each other panicking para lng hindi mahalata ng waiter na nag sesenti pala kami.

As soon as na serve na ang food ay nagsimula na rin kaming kumain. Nag-uusap na kami about life after kami nagkahiwalay. We also clarify things out. And confirmed! He likes Faith. Di man nya sinasabi sakin pero ramdam na ramdam ko sa mga kwento nya na mahal nya ang kaibigan ko. I am happy for them. Naka move-on na ako. I want them both to be happy.

--

"Thankyou for sparing some time, Zee. Send my greetings to your mom at sa iyong Barkada! Bye!" Niguel. I just nodded and waved my hands while palayo na sya. Hinatid nya ako pauwi kasi its 7 o'clock na nung natapos kami. I refuse his offer but he insisted. Yan daw ang sabi ni faith ee, na e hatid daw ako sa bahay. See? She likes my friend.
