Probably, A Trip

Chapter Six

"Xia! Nag-I love you nga siya sa 'kin!"

She just chuckled and made herself comfortable at my chair. Andito siya sa bahay dahil may pinapakita siyang design sa 'kin from her upcoming project. Sakto dahil wala pa naman si Bon at magkikita kami ngayon, like he told to.

"Ano naman? Parang ngayon ka lang nakarinig ng I love you a!" I pouted.

"Its not like that! Like duh, he told me he likes me at the airport and then he loves me already after a few days? Wala pa ata kaming sampung araw na magkakilala!" She laughed hard. Tumawa muna siya nang tumawa bago sumagot.

"May isang linggong pag-ibig nga e, higit na nga yung inyo." My lips parted. Kahit kelan wala siyang matinong maisasagot sa 'kin. Pareho sila ni Bon, nakakainis.

"You think I believe him? Xianna, it's just a dare." Tumingin na siya sa 'kin ng seryoso at humalumbaba.

"Do you love him?" I shook my head.

I was lying if I said I love him. We just together few days ago, hindi agad-agad yung feelings para doon. But maybe through the process, I can? I don't know.

"Do you like him?" Hindi ako nakasagot. Tinawanan niya na naman ako.

"Its better if you just ride the flow. Baka dahil lang din sa dare kaya niya nasabi 'yon. Tsaka umiiyak ka, baka pamaplubag loob." Para akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig sa sinabi niya.

Its impossible, right? Maybe it was because of the dare? He just said that because I'm crying. Right? Why would he tell that when were just together for about few days? Wala pang 2 weeks! And he told me he likes me, ang bilis namang umabot sa point na...he loves me. Is it really possible? Para akong mababaliw sa kakaisip.

Xia left an hour ago, saktong nagmessage si Bon na nasa baba na siya. Mabuti na lang at wala si daddy dahil maagang umalis.

"Hi," He greeted with a smile. He's wearing a skimpy pants and a floral polo. Napangiti ako. I really love florals! Ang ganda lang tingnan sakanya.

Tiningnan pa niya ako nang matagal bago niya ako pagbuksan ng pinto.

"Are you okay?" He asked when he already closed the door. Kumuha muna siya ng alcohol sa compartment bago inistart yung kotse.

"I am," I simply said. Tinitingan niya akong mabuti at sumandal muna nang maayos sa upuan.

"What's bothering you? Gusto mo hindi na lang muna tayo tumuloy? Next week na lang? Its okay," Agad akong umiling at sumimangot.

I just couldn't stop myself from thinking about what he said last night. Hindi ako mapakali.

"Tara na...parang pinga." Tinawanan niya ako at umiling-iling. "Parang pinga naman kasi, Bon e." Pang-aasar niya kaya inirapan ko at tinawanan na lang.

I should stop thinking about it. Hindi naman siguro big deal 'yon. Maybe, it was part of this dare. Marami namang nakapagsabi sa 'kin ng ganon, kaya dapat normal na lang. It was just a word, Chescka Mae! Get a grip.

"Where are we going?" I asked him.

"Kay daddy," Nanlaki ang mata ko.

"Seryoso ba? Bakit? I'm not ready! Gosh." Tiningan ko pa ang suot ko. Nakasuot lang ako ng high waisted pants and cropped-top with my sandals. Wala din akong ayos! Kung sinabi niya edi nag dress sana ako!

Napatigil ako nang tumawa siya. Itinigil pa niya yung sasakyan sa kalagitnaan ng daan! Gosh, he's crazy. Ang dami tuloy nagalit at bumusina! Gosh, mababaliw ako sakanya!
