"Wait" Clint said that made us halt "You're not going to introduce her at me? Us I mean." He added. I just look at him then I look at Fay telling her to introduce herself for I can't stay any longer with that man gaze. I averted my gaze and look at the floor. "I'm Fay" as fay finish that man speaks.
"Nice meeting you Fay and" at inangat ko ang aking ulo sabay ng pagtingin niya saakin "You...Stell, nice meeting you for the second time around. I'm Asher." Then smile escape from his lips, and his dimples was shown. What a beautiful name. "Likewise. We'll take our leave now" I replied then we leave. That's right his name is really Asher, I remember now. Why do I feel happy whenever I heard his name? with him around me make me uncomfortable but happiness filled me. How's that possible? Come on, Stell stop thinking about him. "Hey!" and that broke my reverie "Been calling you multiple times, you okay? Fay asked. "I-I'm fine" ... "Let's take a taxi" I added.
"He's handsome" ani Fay. "And?" I ask innocently.
"Tsk. Never mind." She said irritated.
...
"Ate, wake up! Help me with this" shaira pleaded "Oo, na" I whined then she gave me her notebook written on it the instruction that her teacher gave "You're an education student, you must help me" she said "Do I have choice?" I ask her as if I can avoid her "Why don't ask help to Kuya? He's better than me."
"He has work to do" she replied
"I see. Let's start"
It took us more than three hours to finish her Project – its tiring, it consumed all my energy. I took a quick bath after we finish then I descended on stairs wearing a Pajamas and a shirt.
"Hey" ani Chance. A smile appears on his lips that made me fall even harder, and I just nod my head. I divert my attention from him to Kuya who's now looking at me and Chance back and forth. "Kuya where's mom and dad?" I asked.
"Outside" I turn my back at them to call my parents. When I open the door I saw mom and dad talking to Fay – what are they talking about? "Dinner's ready!" then they look at me simultaneously. "let's go, Fay." Oh, the both of them are having their dinner at our house.
I silently eat my dinner. I remain silent until the last spoon of my food and before I stood up I pray for having a delicious dinner "Mom, Dad I am going to my room" paalam ko. "Why? your friends are here." I just smile then speak again "I am sleepy, Dad. Fay, Chance I'm going to sleep, Bye!" I stood up and I leave them.
Having dinner with my family and two friend is my favorite moment because the people I love are eating with me – but that was before. Now is very different, its awkward. Seeing them together, happy, laughing, touching each other affectionately is painful as hell. My heart seems to fall, the pain is lingering, and the sadness remains within me. Dahil lamang sa nararamdaman kong ito I have to act this way. The days that we are so happy, having each other's arms is enough, sharing and loving each other is not gonna happen now – even in the future.
If only I can get rid of this feelings, I already did but I don't even know how. This feeling is killing me inside, I must put an end to this feeling that will never be acknowledge by the person who's the reason why do I feel this way. He doesn't look at me the way I look at him – that sting. Ang kanina pang nagbabadyang mga luha ay umaagos na ngayon.
