Boy, It's Love

Chapter 12

Seven's POV

I always appreciate people who always work hard for something they want. Mapa malaki man o maliit na bagay. They're just giving all their efforts and time to achieve it.

Honestly, I envy those kind of people, but not in a bad way. I'm just wondering — how can they do that? Because for me, as long as it is something that won't affect my plans in life, I won't hesitate to not do it. Lalo na kung feeling ko mas lugi ako.

"Are you now okay?" I carefully asked him.

When I saw how out of breath he is from probably finding me, I told him to relax himself first. Sumang-ayon naman sya at tumayo ng maayos para maka-langhap ng mas maraming hangin. But while he's doing that, hindi parin nya binibitwan ang pulsuhan ko.

"Please let me hold it, promise it'll make me more relaxed" he said when I told him to let go so he can help himself more.

It makes him relax daw, so okay — I just let him.

But shit!

What about me?! Sya lang ba pwedeng mag relax?! You see, I'm still not recovering here! Dammit! Why is my body reacting like this?! Why can't this heart just beats normally! Why am I being electrified! And the hell with my stomach! I'm totally not normal! And I'm not dumb for heaven's sake! I "sometimes" enjoy reading and watching romance stories, especially if there is an interesting plot, even though I'm a guy. I believe that those things will not diminish my manhood. The romance genre does not have a specific gender, it is for everyone.

Anyway, I don't want to be conscious of myself right now because it's just making me more nervous. I take a deep breath and get back to Edge, na mukhang bumabalik na ang normal na kulay at hindi narin ganun kabilis ang paghinga.

May kinuha rin ito sa bulsa at iniabot sakin habang nakangiti ng katamtaman.

"Oh" I said as I saw what's in his hand.

It's a pinback button with the same number as mine. The #405.

"So we have the same number" I continued. I am actually shocked, but I didn't show it. I'm just thinking that's the reason why he's looking for me, and maybe Clarence or Beau told him my number that's why they keep calling me non-stop.

Edge happily nodded then puts it on his chest and face me with a victorious smile. "Now we're partners" he said.

I definitely understand what he meant by the word 'partner' — it means that we have the same numbers. But my stubborn mind keeps on making it sound more than that.

Puno ng hangin akong napasabi ng "yeah..." na may kasama pang tango.

MC 2: Everyone! I know how hard it is to find your partners, but keep on searching!

MC 1: Tama ka sis! Don't give up! Dahil ang susunod naming i-rereveal na papremyo ay gugulantang sa mga love life nyo!

Now I remembered na may event pa palang nangyayari. But realizing Edge's state, I don't think it's a good idea na yayain ko pa syang pumunta ng stage, baka kasi hindi parin sya totally okay. Kaso bat naman sya nag effort na hanapin ako kung ayaw nyang makakuha ng premyo?

Shit! Speaking of! The phone and the tablet!

MC 2: I bet ready na ang mga officers natin, dahil siguradong hindi nyo papalagpasin ang susunod na papremyo!

MC 1: For sure sis! Kaya naman lets announce it!

For our first prize!
