"Sinong hinihintay mo?" Nagtatakang tanong sa akin ni Kaiden nang makita ako sa parking lot mag-isa.I've been waiting for Jordan here at the parking lot for three days already. Ngunit sa loob ng tatlong araw na iyon ay bigo akong makita siya o makausap man lang.
Ni-anino man lamang ni Jordan ay hindi ko nakita. I don't know if he is purposely doing this o talagang hindi ko lang siya naaabutan o nakikita.
Gusto ko lang naman siyang kausapin tungkol sa nangyari noong nakaraan. Kung bakit niya ako hinalikan?
Napahawak ako sa aking noo. Bakit ko ba kasi tinugunan ang halik niya?
After that kiss or should I say making out session, Jordan just left the my room without saying anything. Bigla siyang tumigil at nagmamadaling lumabas na para bang hindi siya lasing at hindi niya ako hinalikan.
I saw regret flashing on his eyes. Nagsisisi ba siya na hinalikan niya ako? Siya naman ang humalik sa akin, a?
I was hurt when I saw his reaction and when I realized it I felt so sad, seeing Jordan, my first kiss leaving me without explanation.
Siguro ay hindi ako magaling humalik kaya umalis na siya agad? Or maybe it was just spur of a moment?
"Ang Kuya mo ba? O si Legion? Gusto mo sa akin ka nalang sumabay?" Magkakasunod na tanong ni Kaiden.
Pinatunog niya ang kotse niya na malapit lamang sa kinatatayuan naming dalawa.
When I realized that I won't see Jordan here, I nodded to Kaiden.
I sighed heavily before entering his car. Inayos ko ang aking seatbelt doon habang si Kaiden naman ay papasok na.
Why do I even feel problematic about it? Halik lang naman iyon, "but it is my first kiss" sabi ng isang maliit na boses sa utak ko.
I should've known better! Siguro ay dapat hindi ko na gawing big deal ang bagay na iyon dahil panigurado akong hindi naman iniisip ni Jordan ang halik na iyon.
I mean, my cousins probably do not give a fuck about that kind of thing. It's just a kiss, right?
Ako lang siguro itong masyadong sentimental sa nangyaring iyon.
Baka nga hindi iyon naaalala ni Jordan! Lasing siya noon hindi ba?
Just when Kaiden was about to turn his car to leave the parking, I saw Jordan walking.
I was about to tell Kaiden to stop the car when I saw someone walking beside him.
He's walking with a tall girl, probably a little bit taller than me. Umaalon ang kulay itim na buhok ng babae. Ang kamay naman ni Jordan ay nakapulupot sa bewang nito.
Nanliit ang mata ko ng makitang ibang uniform ang suot ng kasama ni Jordan. Hindi ako pamilyar doon.
Millions of questions suddenly popped into my mind. Kuryoso kong tinignan ang babaeng kasama niya.
Sino naman kaya iyon? Kapatid niya? Pinsan niya ba 'yon? O baka naman kaibigan? O baka...
I got to confirm my last speculation when I saw the girl tiptoed to give him a peck on his lips. The girl giggled after that.
Tinignan ko ang reaksyon ni Jordan at nakita kong nakangiti siya sa babae.
Nakangiti siya matapos siyang halikan ng girlfriend niya, the opposite reaction he showed when he kissed me.
I looked away from their direction. Feeling a little bit hurt with that sight.
With my few interactions with Jordan, I realized that I like him. Kahit na hindi naman kami ganoon ka-close ay sapat na sa akin ang minsan naming pagkikita at pag-uusap noong nakaraan.
