Have you ever fall in love with your seatmate or just puppy love? Hindi mo inaasahan na makukuha mo siya sa tingin? Sa bawat kislap ng mata niya ay inaakala mong wala lamang ngunit nagdadalawang isip kang umamin dahil magkaklase kayo at ilang beses magkatabi na sa upuan. Akala mo baliwala ang pagpaparamdam mo sa kanya pero meron din pala siyang nararamdaman na di mo inaasahan. Hanggang saan kaya aabot ang pagtatago ng feelings at pagtatanong kung tama ba ang nararamdaman mo sa kanya o may pagtingin ba talaga siya sayo? Posted: August 3, 2025 - September 1, 2025
