His Brain VS. Her Heart

HER HEART

Hindi ko malaman kung itong si Logan eh nagsisinungaling sa akin kanina na hindi niya 'daw' kilala si Lallaine o talagang alam niya lang na mag-nobyo sila dati. At kung alam naman niya, paano?

Hmmmm.

"Oh ano? Bakit hindi ka makasagot?" Pangaasar ko ng seryoso sa kanya.

Medyo umabante pa ako para mas maasar talaga siya. I like it na mukhang kinabahan siya. Inayos niya yung salamin, gaya ng dati, at nakipagtitigan din sakin.

Medyo natahimik kasi siya nung nagtanong ako kung paano niya nalaman. Nagbago din yung expression ng mukha niya. He became more serious. But the more I stare at his serious face, the more na nagiging gwapo siya. Pucha.

"Isn't it too obvious Georgina?" –sabi niya bigla

Pero hindi ko pa din inaalis ang tingin ko sa kanya.

Alin ang obvious na sinasabi niya?

"Obvious?" –hindi ko ma-gets eh

Then unti unti siyang lumapit sakin. Tae. Anong gagawin niya?

Since nasa isang table kami at nasa tapat ko siya madali niyang nailapit ang mukha niya sa mukha ko. Gusto ko sanang iatras ang mukha ko kaso hindi ko magawa.

"It's obvious in their stares, Georgina."

WHUT!!!?

"The way Michael look at Lallaine, and the way Lallaine look at Michael. It's obvious."

Na-gets ko na ang sinasabi niya pero hindi pa din ako makagalaw.

"So, you're telling me that you just knew it by their so "intense" stare?"

Hindi ako magpapatalo sa pakikipagtitigan niya. Now that I know na it can be his weakness.

"Yes Georgina. That's how I knew it. STARES ARE MEANINGFUL"

Anak ng tinapang nasunog ng alligator! Stares are meaningful daw. So anong ibig sabihin niya sa mga pagtitig niya sa akin?

Ting! I have an idea! Kailangan ko ng lakas ng loob para matanong ko ang bagay na ito.

Mas nilapit ko pa ang mukha ko at nakipagtitigan pa din sa kanya. Aja! Kaya ko to. Sana lang hindi ako sapakin ni Logan sa sasabihin ko.

"Then tell me, Dmitri Logan, anong ibig sabihin ng mga pagtitig mo sa akin?"

HIS POV

"Then tell me, Dmitri Logan, anong ibig sabihin ng mga pagtitig mo sa akin?"

Damn. What is she doing? Bakit niya nilalabanan mga titig ko? Hindi ba siya natatakot o kinakabahan?

And her question. I don't know what to say. Ano nga ba talaga? I don't even know. Maybe because I'm curious. Maybe because I can't read her mind. Or maybe because I like doing it, because I like her.

F*ck!

This is the very first time that I could not answer a simple question. No. It's not simple. In fact it's bothersome.

But I need to tell her the truth.

"My stares at you means..." –me

Should I really tell her?

"Means what Logan?" –she mockingly said

Damn her. What is she trying to do? Kung simpleng tao lang siya nabasa ko na agad ang isip niya but no. She's one hell of a kind.

"It means that I...."

KRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING! KRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!

Damn cellphone.

She suddenly shifted her gaze and the connection was gone. She immediately fidgeted her phone and answers it.

"O Nero, ikaw pala!"

F*ck. Her voice changed instantly. Kanina ang tapang ng boses niya. Pero nang makausap niya si Nero, bigla siyang naging sweet.

She must really like Nero Angeles then. Nero, the perfect guy, according to many of my classmate's minds.

Tumayo siya ng table at lumayo ng kaunti. Pumunta pa siya ng kusina. Hmmm ayaw iparinig ang usapan? Tssss.

I also stood up and went to my room. Nadaanan ko ang kusina at nakita ko siyang tumatawa habang kausap si Nero sa phone.

Did she ever laugh with me?

DAMN. WHAT AM I EVEN THINKING AND SAYING?

Hindi niya dapat malaman na attracted ako sa kanya. No. Not now. Not ever.

Pumasok ako sa kwarto at inopen ang laptop ko. It's already 1:30 and our first contest will be at 2pm.

Binasa ko ang information na sinend sakin ng private investigator ko.

Georgina Tamayo Medina

Age: 18

Address: #123 Baranggay Mabunganga, Kizon City.

Father: (deceased) Jordan S. Medina

Mother: (deceased) Gloria T. Medina

Siblings: (Half-brother) Kim Medina

So, she has no parents already. I don't know if I will feel sympathy for her or what. Paano sila nabuhay when her parents died at her very young age?

What struck me is the fact that her father studied at PBA. Hmmmmm. Ka-batch niya si mommy. Do they know each other, back then?

Nalaman ko din ang mga works na ginawa niya.Past and present.  Damn, she's amazing. How could she do that?

Also, no boyfriend, ever since? Really, huh?

Knock. Knock.

I instantly closed my laptop and opened the door.

"Let's go. Magto-2 pm na."

She just nods at me then we left the Kubo. Hanggang sa nakarating kami sa contest area hindi niya ako kinausap. And now I'm confused. Uggh. Damn girls and their mood swings.
