My First Summer (Completed)

Chapter 12

"M-mitchie..."

I didn't let Sean finish he wanted to say. Without permission I ran away from them. Gusto kong makalayo sa kanila. I felt embarrassed. Did I confess to Sean? Shit!

Ba't ko naman sinabi yun? I think he will give his self a chance because of what I said. Gagawa at gagawa siya ng paraan para makausap ulit ako.

I badly needed to avoid him. We're not meant to each other. I don't want to give him false hope.

Ano? Nasabi ko na na gusto ko siya. I know he will make some ways to be attatch with me. Hindi ko gusto na mas lalalim ang nararamdaman niya sa akin. Takot ako na baka isang araw, sasabihin niyang mahal na niya ako.

No. I won't let him. May sakit ako. Darating at darating din ang araw na mawawala ako. Ayaw kong iwan siya na luhaan at nasasaktan.

And, and I won't let history repeat itself. He had lost once a love ones, he lost his mother.

Hindi ko hahayaan na dumating sa punto na mamahalin niya ako, pero iiwan ko din pala.

Takbo lang ako ng takbo hanggang sa may nakita akong tricycle. Pinara ko kaagad.

"Saan po tayo ma'am?" the tricycle driver asked as he stopped infront of me.

"Ahm... Pwede niyo po ba akong ihatid sa Sunset Resort kuya? I want to go back there."

"Hmm. Sige po ma'am. Ihahatid po kita doon," sabi niya na nagpaginhawa sa akin.

I immediately get in para hindi na ako maabutan ni Sean.

We were in the middle of the road the  tricycle suddenly stopped.

"What happened kuya?"

I saw him scratching his head. I thinks he's in the middle of 50's.

"Pasensiya ka na po ma'am, pero naubusan po tayo ng gaas," pagpaliwanag niya habang tinitingnan ang tangke ng motorsiklo.

"H-hindi ka po ba nag pa gaas?" nababahala kong tanong.

As I can see while roaming my gaze, we're in a place where no one is around. I'm starting to be scared.

Lumabas akong tricycle, "wala po bang nagtitinda ng gaas malapit dito, kuya?"

Manong driver shook his head, "wala po ma'am. Malayo pa po tayo sa bilihan ng gaas."

I massaged my temple. Bakit ngayon pa?

peep, peeeppp...

Napatingin ako sa likuran ko ng marinig ang busina na galing sa isang sasakyan.

Kumunot ang noo ko nang mapagtanto ko na kotse namin iyon.

Slowly, the car's door opens.

"That's might be Mo-- Nate?!" I exclaimed.

I was shocked. Anong ginagawa niya rito? I thought his schedule was full kaya hindi siya makakasama?

Nate walked towards me, smile teasingly.

"Baby," sabi niya pagkalapit at hinagkan ako.

He always calling me like that. His reason was he haven't a little sister, so he treated me like that.

Since childhood, we're together and attached by each other. I just was his playmate because like me, he's also an only child.

Our parents was close to each other back then, but an incident happened. After Dad died, his parents go after him. The airplane where Nate's parents was on-board got crashed.
