Unexpected Love

Part 13- Unexpected

"Ano'ng ipinapahiwatig ng ngiting yan? Is it a yes?" he widely smiled.

"Yes?" natatawa ako and at the same time, kinikilig.

"You don't answer a question with another question" this time he's serious.

"Pa'no ko malalaman? Repeat the question nang malinawan ako."

"I know it's a bit too late, but, can I be your date? For tonight" I don't know but I think he's somewhat shaking?

"Obviously, yes" I answered.

He held my hands as a response. He suddenly flicked his hand and lo~

Another set of colorful lights were turned on, but this time... May dinner set sa isang table na nilililiman ng mga puno.

"Sorry dahil hindi ako nagparamdam ng ilang araw. Well, this is the reason" bakit siya magso-sorry? Ano ko ba siya? Ano ba niya ko? Ano ba kami?

"Valid na ba?" that smile. Arf

Nginitian ko lamang siya. Lumapit na kami du'n sa table at naupo. Nagse-serve na siya ng wine. "Pwede ba to? I mean, is it allowed to do something like this at school?" Nacu-curious na talaga kasi ako.

"If you have an access. Well, hindi mo na gugustuhing malaman pa ang process" he answered.

I was not satisfied by his answer, but, oh well. All that matters now is me and him.

"I'm really not good at dates, but I hope you'll consider" he's about to drink his wine. "Ay, cheers nga pala muna"

*plank*

"CHEERS!" Sabay naming sabi. Natawa kami pareho.

"Siyanga pala, Mr. Danilo Pahamak, hindi mo pa naibibigay ang iPod ko" I kinda teased him.

"Haha. Akala ko eh tuluyan mo nang nakalimutan. I'll give it to you later, just don't call me that name again" mukhang napipikon na siya.

"Bakit? Ikinakahiya mo, ba, Mr. Danilo Pahamak? Hahahahaha" I continued teasing him.

"Stop that" tumayo na siya at tuluyang lumapit sa akin.

"Napakagandang pangalan: Danilo Pahamak" tumayo na rin ako at pinipigilang mapahalakhak.

Suddenly, he grabbed my arms and looked into my eyes. "Stop that or else...

I'll kiss you."

(O___O)

(>___<)

The moment stopped right there. Naramdaman ko'ng lumalapit ang mukha niya sa'kin. His face slowly going down...

Down...

Down towards my face.

*muawh*

A kiss on the forehead.

"I like you, Javi, and may balak ako'ng ligawan ka."

Time check: 5:23am

Gosh. Alas sinco na ng umaga pero hindi pa nakakapikit ang mga mata ko para matulog. Insomnia? Eh, wala naman sa lahi namin ang ganiyang sakit. Nasa lahi lang naman namin yung likas na ganda. Naks!

Pero seryoso, hindi ako makatulog.
-______-

Nang dahil siguro kagabi? It was so fairytale like ni hindi ko na maalala ang sunod na nangyari after the kiss. Correction: kiss at the forehead.

Sa pag-uwi kagabi, nakipag-chika pa ako kina Kristen at Shiela kaya mas lalong hindi agad ako nakatulog.

Haist. Naka sampung galon na yata ako ng gatas eh hindi parin ako makatulog.

"I like you, Javi, and may balak ako'ng ligawan ka."

"Pero, Daniel, hindi pa ako handa" I honestly answered.

I saw pain in his eyes.

"Maghihintay ako. Just please allow me to... love you"

Imbes kiligin ako nang mga oras na iyon, kinabahan ako. Ano ba, fate? Another footstep leading to another heartache? Oo, gusto ko si Daniel, pero hindi sa puntong kaya ko na siyang mahalin.

Crush ko lang naman siya dati, eh.

Ayoko siya'ng paasahin at mas lalo'ng ayaw ko siya'ng i-reject. Ano ba ang tamang gawin?

Naman, oh.

Masyadong unexpected.

A love that was so unexpected to come.

Hindi ko na namalayan at tuluyan na ako'ng nakatulog sa kakaisip.
