Lost Memory Of Love

Chapter 23- Together

"A-ano?" tanong ko ng madinig ang sagot niya, kadalasan kase 'wuv u mo mukha mo ang sinasagot niya sa akin kapag sinasabi ko iyon. But this time, I heard an I love you more. It isn't a big deal but...still.

Lumapit ako sa kanya para tanungin kung tama ba ang narinig ko. I saw his ears turning red. Napakamot pa siya sa noo niya.

"W-what the hell? No way" I said as I laughed fakely. Hindi kase ako makapaniwala sa nakikita ko ngayon. I don't expect na may gusto siya sa akin, though nung una naming meet binigyan niya ako ng flowers but that doesn't mean na gusto niya ako, Malay ko nagandahan lang pala sa akin non. Chos.

But maybe I should be thankful? Because the feeling's mutual? Oh geez!

Nilipasan ko na lamang siya para hindi ganoon ka awkward. Parang sasabog ang puso ko. There's no way that I'll confess first. No, no. Naramdaman ko naman na hindi siya sumusunod sa akin kaya tinawag ko na siya. Kahit sobrang lakas ng kabog sa dibdib ko.

"T-tara na Blake, late na tayo oh" sabi ko habang nauutal. Magpapatuloy na sana ako sa paglalakad nang hinawakan niya ang kamay ko.

Saglit akong napatingin doon at dahan dahang hinarap siya. His look sent shiver down my whole system as I turned to face him. A very serious look that he'll only gave me if I did something really stupid or if he's saying something really sincere and serious.

"B-blake, m-mal-late na tayo" utal utal kong sabi at umiwas sa mga mata niya. Kinakabahan ako. Sa tingin ko ay nadidinig na din niya ang tibok ng puso ko. He didn't reply to me. Nakatitig lamang siya sa akin. Hawak pa din niya ang mga kamay ko. "B-blake" I called him.

He half open his mouth ready to utter a word but immediately closes it again. Hindi ako nagsalita. Lalong namumula ang tenga niya. Humigpit ang hawak niya sa kamay ko nang maramdaman niya na bibitaw na ako. Late na kase talaga kami, but on the other hand if ever my assumption is right. I want it to happen now. Oh my gosh Shainter!

He's just silent but his eyes reflect thousand of unsaid words. Magsasalita na sana ulit ako dahil sobrang awkward na and I can't stand it anymore nang inunahan niya ako.

"I like you" those three words that stopped my world from spinning. His background suddenly light up in my eyes and he's more charming as he says that. Oh no, I'm doomed.

Parang gusto kong sumigaw at mag titili pero parang walang lalabas na boses. I just stared at him for a second. Kinakapa ang mga salita na hindi nagpapakita. Dumb me.

I was about to answer when I heard him hissed. Nagulat ako.

"F*ck, cut that one." he said. Naguluhan tuloy ako. Bibitaw na sana ulit ako pero hinila niya ako papalapit sa kanya at hinawakan ang baba ko gamit ang kabila niyang kamay. An electric force traveled from my chin up to my toes. I cannot even move and my eyes was fixed on his. A foreign feeling it is.

"No baby, I just don't like you. I love you." he said straight forward while looking to my eyes and then pulled me to a hug.

Parang gusto kong umiyak sa pagkakataong iyon. I remained silent for the whole time. Feeling his tight hug to me.

"D-do you.. Uhmm love me too?" he asked after breaking our hug. Nakakapit pa din siya ng mahigpit sa kamay ko. I smiled sweetly at him. Trying to hide my nervousness. I can see hope in his eyes.

All of my insights to him flashbacked. I didn't even know when I started to like him, and why I started to love him. There was no explanation with me. And the one thing I knew is that I'm happy with him, and I am me when I'm with him.
