How to Make Your Ex Fall for You Again (Cupid's List Series #4)

Part Eighteen

"INDIGO...”

“Hmm?”

“They're looking at us.” Halos lahat yata ng nakakasalubong nilang estudyante ay napapatingin sa kanila, sa magkahawak na kamay nila.

“Don't mind them.”

Naalala niya ang nangyari sa party nito kagabi.
Pagkatapos siyang halikan ni Indigo ay dinala siya nito sa loob ng bahay.

“What about Kasandra, Indigo?”

“What?”

“Baby, walang kami ni Kassandra.”
“Nakita ko kayo sa clinic. She was hugging you.”

“She confessed to me that time, but I reject her,” wika nito habang diretsong nakatingin sa mga mata niya. “I tried to move on, I tried to forget you but I just couldn’t. I’m in love with you, Chas. Then and now.”

Kinagat niya ang ibabang labi nang maramdaman ang pag-iinit ng sulok niyon. “Akala ko…wala na talaga akong pag-asa. You didn’t even text me kahit sinabi mo na magre-reply ka na. Tapos…”

“I’m sorry, baby,” puno ng suyong wika nito. “I lost my phone in Ilocos,” paliwanag nito. “Pagdating ko ng Manila, hinanap kita, pero sabi ni Karen, umuwi ka ng Davao.”

“Can you repeat it, Indigo?”

“Alin?”

“Iyong baby. Na-miss ko iyon, eh.”

He smiled and planted a kiss on her forehead. “I missed you, too, baby.”

Natigilan siya nang makasalubong nila si Kassandra. Nakita niya kung paano ito natigilan
Hindi niya masisi kung bakit nagustuhan ni Indigo ang babae. She was with Grey.
“Grey, Kass,” bati ni Indigo sa dalawa.
Binati silang dalawa ni Grey.

Nakita niya kung paano natigilan si Kassandra nang makita ang magkahawak-kamay nila ni Indigo. Subalit nang makabawi ay ngumiti ito. “Congrats, I. I’m happy for you.”

“She’s really nice,” wika niya kay Indigo nang lagpasan nila ang dalawa. “She's pretty and kind…” Hindi niya mapigilang ikompara ang sarili kay Kassandra. “She can makes you laugh.”

“Oo, napapangiti niya ako pero ikaw lang ang may kakayahang magpabaliw sa akin. You're the only one who knows how to make my heart beat crazy.”

“You almost fell for her.”

“What I felt for her wasn't close enough to half of what I feel for you.” Inagat nito ang kamay niya at dinala sa mga labi nito.

Nag-init ang magkabilang pisngi niya. “Indigo, thank you…”

“Thank my heart. Kasi kahit ilang beses kong sabihin na kalimutan ka na, ikaw at ikaw pa rin talaga.”

“WALA kayong band practice ngayon?”

Indigo was waiting for her. He looked so handsome in his white shirt, ripped jeans and messy hair. His diamond earring glinted and so were his chinky eyes.

“Red and Blue was in Batangas, Grey was busy with Cashmere and me?” He looked at her. “I'm busy with my girl.” He held her hand and intertwined with his.

Ibinaba niya ang tingin sa magkahugpong na kamay. She couldn't believe they were together again. She almost gave up.

“Let’s eat ice cream,” wika sa kanya ni Indigo pagdatin nila sa mall.

“Akala ko ba hindi ka na kumakain ng strawberry?” nagtatakang tanong niya kay Indigo.

“I stopped eating strawberry after we broke up. I couldn't eat strawberry without thinking of you. But now, I can eat ice cream again.”
