Teaching The School's Playboy How To Dance

~CHAPTER 11~

-AIDEN-

I still kept on thinking about what Adyy said earlier...I wonder if sincere sya sa mga sinabi niya kanina.

"Aiden?"

"Yeah?"

"Anong 'yeah'? Kanina pa kita tinatanong if anong gusto mo for dinner, so what do you want for dinner?" tanong ni Ate Catha.

"Anything..."

"Ay, taray...first time ko ata narining ang tungkol sa food na yan 'anything' sosyal naman ng name, I wonder if saang restaurant yan available. Alam mo kung saan yan mabibili? Though, much better if delivery nalang."

"Whatever..."

"Seriously...ano bang problem mo, huh? Kanina ka pa tulala, ano bang iniisip mo? May problem ka ba? You know, you can tell me if my problem ka, I'm willing to listen."

"Wala..."

"Talaga lang, huh?! Maybe, si Adyy yung iniisip mo noh, kaya kanina ka pa tulala." sabi nya and she smiled slyly at me.

"Your ex-boyfriend's little sister..."

"Aiden!"

"Bakit? Totoo naman ah, kapatid sya ni Trace."

"So, it's true...you're thinking about her?"

"Yeah..."

She smiled at me,"Crush mo sya, noh?"

"Ate!"

"Ikaw naman, binibiro lang kita... ang bilis talagang magtampo ng baby ko. Bakit mo sya iniisip, crush mo sya, noh?"

"Adyy and I are just good friends..."

"Really, 'good friends' lang?! You're stuck in your deep thoughts kanina because of her, tapos good friends lang?! Ano ba talagang nangyari? Nag-away ma naman ba kayo ni Adyy? Ano? Tell me Aiden, ano?"

"Well, I just realized something..."

"Like what?"

"Na mabait pala sya, unlike her brother."

"Mabait naman talaga si Adyy, naalala ko nga nung nag-break kami ni Trace nag-sorry sya saken."

"Pero si Trace, hindi sya nag-sorry."

Kinurot ako ni Ate,"Aray! Masakit, ah!"

"Naka-move on na ako't lahat, tapos ikaw hindi pa?!"

"Tss..."

"Wag mo akong ma-tss...tss...dyan, tinatanong kita ng maayos." hindi ko na sya pinansin pa. "Fine...yung tungkol na lang kay Adyy, bakit ka tulala kanina?"

"Wala..."

"Talaga?!"

"It's nothing, okay?"

"You're bluffung..."

"No, I'm not."

"Yes, you are! Kilala kita Aiden, we grew up together and I know that right now you're bluffing!"

"Bakit ka galit?"

"Nakakainis ka kasi, eh...so, ano sasabihin mo saken o sasabihin mo saken?"

"Fine, sasabihin ko na-"

"Edi, sabihin mo na!"

"Bigla ka kasing sumingit, eh!"

"Sabihin mo na kasi!"

"Ganito kasi yun...kanina nag-usap kami ni Adyy and nag-open up ako sa kanya."

"About?"

"About me-"

"So, sinabi mo na sa kanya?"

"No, I mean I used the word 'friend' rather than myself."

"Oh...anong sabi ni Adyy?"

"Sabi nya na-"

"Anong sabi nya?"

"Wag ka kasing sumingit!"

"Ang bagal mo kasing magsalita. So, anong sinabi ni Adyy?"

"She said na matatanggap nya yung friend nya..."

"Yun naman pala, eh...why do you look so sad? Hindi ba dapat maging happy ka kasi she will accept you?"

"I'm not sure if it's true..."

"Why? Di ba sinabi nya na matatanggap ka nya?"

"Actions speak louder than words, Ate. What if hindi nya ako tanggap? What if-"

"What if she will judge you?"

"Yeah...alam mo naman na I'm scared that people will judge me."

"Look Aiden, kahit anong gawin mo- whether it is right or wrong, people will still judge you, kaya mas mabuti kong magpakatotoo ka, be true Aiden, be true to yourself."

"Yeah..."

"Nakakainis ka, anong 'yeah'?"

"Yeah, sasabihin ko na sa kanya..."

"Really?! Kailan mo sasabihin sa kanya?"

"Bukas, may practice kasi kami..."

"I'm happy for you..." Ate Catha said and she hugged me.

"Huh?"

"I'm happy for you kasi finally you are being true to yourself."
