"Raphael?" mahinang pagtawag ko sa atensiyon nito.

Marahan siyang tumango at pagkaraan ay umiling. "Your voice is so sweet," pabulong na aniyang halos hindi ko narinig.

Unti-unting tumaas ang sulok ng labi ni Raphael habang nakatitig pa rin sa akin. O baka nakatitig sa labi ko? Nasundan ko ang mga mata niyang pinasadahan ng tingin ang bawat bahagi ng mukha ko. Bumaba ang tingin niya at bumaba iyon sa labi ko. Napatingin na rin ako sa labi niya at umawang iyon ng bahagya. 

Napalunok ako nang may maramdamang kung ano sa aking tiyan. Para iwasan ang kung ano pa mang puwede kong maramdaman ay pumasok na agad ako sa kotse. Hindi ko tinapunan ng tingin si Raphael simula nang umikot siya at makaupo.

Diretso lang ang tingin ko sa daan at pinipilit ang sariling huwag siyang lingunin kahit kanina pa siya tumitikhim. Nang huminto kami sa isang traffic light ay nakita ko sa gilid ng aking mga mata ang paglingon niya. Hindi na rin ako nakatiis at nilingon na siya.

"Raphael-"

"I'm attracted to you, Rosella."

Napaawang ang labi ko sa sinabi niya. 

Hindi pa man pumapasok sa isip ko ang sinabi niya ay mabilis siyang dumukwang sa akin. Tila naestatwa ako sa kinauupuan nang lumapat ang labi niya sa labi ko.

My Ex - Crush by thefadedwhite
95 parts Ongoing
"I wish I had never met you!" Deepika's voice echoed across the classroom, each word a dagger to my heart. "Excellent! At least we finally agree on something!" I fired back, even as a tear betrayed the storm of emotions within me. With those final, stinging words, Deepika stormed out, leaving a heavy silence in her wake. The classroom felt like a graveyard, and I stood there, rooted to the spot, desperately wishing I could chase after her and demand the truth. Maybe letting her go was the right choice. Perhaps this is meant to be my unfinished love story, a tale of what-ifs and almosts... ✨ No Deepika. This can't be his bike. Not Arjun's. But I couldn't deny what I saw-the familiar brown Royal Enfield, now twisted and crushed. My heart hammered as I circled around, hoping, praying it wasn't true, until my gaze landed on the number plate: TN56 0809. Arjun's bike. Deepika! Stop imagining things! Arjun would be fine! I felt the world shift, the noise around me blurring into a single, deafening hum. Ambulance and police sirens echoed, and a stranger's voice broke through: "Two boys. Spot dead. College students." I clutched my chest, gasping for air as reality slammed into me. "Arjun..." I whispered, barely holding myself together. Tears stung my face as I sank beside the wreck. "No, Please, No!" My voice cracked as the weight of regret settled in, suffocating me. ✨ Ex-Crush: More than just a crush, but a little less than love. ✨ Arjun and Deepika were hopelessly in love-only they never realized it. Will they find their way to each other, or will their love story remain forever unfinished? ✨ Join Arjun and Deepika on a journey back to those dreamy college days-days where every moment felt eternal, love was unspoken yet ever present, where friendship bloomed like wildflowers, offering a sanctuary from the harsh winds of reality. Come, wander with them through the corridors of college days, where the echoes of laughter still linger.
