Unraveling your Heart

Kabanata 20

Just as like how the clock changes it's direction; as the short hand and the long hand of the clock starts changing it's number. The duration of how the clouds cover the dark moon so quickly, here we are.. infront of our house

"Thank you sa paghatid," i said as I drew a thin smile. I couldn't even remember how many thin smiles I gave him already "Uh.." I took off the blazer he put on me earlier

"And for the blazer..." I lend it to him

He's just here watching me as his hands were on his pocket, why does it hurting me? I don't even know why. My feelings for him have gotten deep, huh?

Attachment.

This is just an attachment since I've never felt this kind of treatment before. Also, I don't want to invest my feelings for someone who isn't ready yet?

"Pasok na ko.." Pag papa-alam ko sakanya "Good night," bubuksan ko na sana ang gate namin, but then he grabbed my wrist which made me face him again

"I like you." He said those three words with an empahsis. He likes me? Why? I should be happy, but why is it hurting me?

"Lasing ka lang ata, men" I laughed, for me to brush off the thoughts I had

"No. I like you. I do," kumunot ang noo ko. I don't know if I heard those words right

"-1/10 hindi magandang biro, pangit yung pagka-construct, matatawa ata ako. Haha!" Is this man infront of me  really genuine about his feelings for me?

"Fine. Let's just talk when we're both sober," hindi naman ako mabilis matamaan ng alak pero I guess this is just a dream..

To have is just a dream..

To him to like me is just a dream..

It's all a dream..

Imposible.

"Good night, Lian," he lowered his voice for me

I smiled as I closed my eyes "night night," as both of my hands were placed inside my shirt.

If this is just a dream, please, don't wake me up. Don't let me wake up from this; feels somewhat real but also a dream.. i just.. don't know...

Nagising ako sa ingay ng aking kapatid

"Atee," still my eyes were closed

I hummed as a reply

"Ateee! May naghahanap sa'yo." She shaked my body enough to wake me up, but for sure inuuto lang ako nito para magising ako

"Huwag makulit, wala pa akong tulog.." Still my eyes were closed

"Meron nga, Ate. Promise"

Napa-upo ako sa aking higaan habang ang mga mata ay naka-pikit. Naalala ko ang nangyari kagabi kaya naman napangiti ako

"Inaantok pa ako, eh" Bumangon akong naka-ngiti at pumunta sa CR upang manghilamos at nag bihis na rin ng malaking t-shirt para matakpan ang akin. May nakita akong hari tie sa Cr kaya kinuha ko na din

Habang papunta ako sa tindahan, tinatali ko ang aking mahaba na itim na buhok

"Ma? May naghahanap daw sa'kin?" Tanong ko at kumuha ng pandesal nang nakarating na ako sa tindahan

"Uto-Uto ka naman," napasimangot ako sa sinabi niya. Kala ko pa naman si Azriel! Sabi ko namang bawal mag assume, eh. Never expect things, expect things that are unexpected.

"Kunin mo 'yung mga labahan, nasa kina Flor. Du'n ko sinampay." I looked at the clock above the door frame. Alas dos na pala? WOW! "Kain ka muna, may sinigang. Paborito mo," napangiti ako at naghanda ng plato, ininit ko na rin ang sabaw
