BEAUTY 21

Confused

"We need to know each other, Shekinah, and that's the first step. The most basic and common one. Cooperate, okay? If you won't cooperate, then you'll be the one to ruin my chances."

We're walking here in the mall... for royalties... in which I don't belong. Hindi ko namam kasi alam na rito niya ako dadalhin. My feet are just following his all the time. I had no choice.

We continued walking while I looked back at the thought of chances. It's quite hard for me... you know, to give him that. I am currently trying to make baby steps for our own progress, the reason we're friends now. I don't really want to rush. And the label of being in a relationship is really... just out of my plans as of now.

Maraming tao dahil hindi ulit ako pumayag na ipasara para sa sarili naming kapakanan. Wala naman na siyang sinabi. He willingly obliged. Hindi pa naman siya mukhang mahilig sa mga matataong lugar, parang ganito.

"I am sorry if I am making you feel like I am into rush. Hindi ganoon, hindi talaga," simula niya habang pumapasok kami sa isang boutique. "Maybe I was just too overwhelmed, kaya... gusto kong makuha kaagad ang gusto ko."

Makuha kaagad ang gusto ko. That played in my head multiple times. Pero kahit ulit-ulitin ko man ay hindi ko pa rin makuha. What is it that he likes? Ibang bagay ba... o ako?

Honestly, I don't know...

"Chances don't run, Zaico. They remain promises until broken. Nasa sa'yo kung mamadaliin mo, pero kahit ibigay mo na ang lahat pero hindi pa handa iyong nagbigay sa'yo ng chances... If I am not yet ready to take our friendship into a higher level, then you'd be the one to ruin your given chances. So... use that wisely, I suggest..." mahaba kong sabi habang naghihintay iyong babaeng staff na grabe makayuko.

Nilingon ko siya at nakitang nakatitig sa akin. Now, he's in a deep thinking. Mababa akong tumawa at nagkibit balikat.

"That's just for me... Nasa sa'yo naman kung ano ang gusto mong gawin."

"Your opinion matters, Shekinah. Fuck, it matters the most. Kung anong gusto mong sabihin, mahalaga sa akin. Kaya sabihin mo na lahat... I wanna know your thoughts. I wanna know what are things inside your head..."

Malalim akong huminga. "I can't tell it to you one time. At saka... words are said depending on a particular situation. Nasabi ko naman na ang opinyon ko kanina... That's it for now..."

Iyon lang din naman ang gusto kong sabihin sa ngayon. Huwag madaliin. Kung gusto niyang maging malapit muna kami... okay lang naman sa akin 'yon. Iyon din naman ang gusto kong mangyari.

Nagpatuloy kami sa gusto niyang gawin. He wants to buy me things, but I refused. Pinipilit niya pero ayaw ko talaga.

"Gifts, Shekinah. I want to give you gifts..." mariin niyang sabi at parang naiinis na dahil sa walang katapusan kong mga iling. Ayaw ko kasi talaga...
