I Heart Kuya (Completed, 2019)

Chapter 12 - The girl who wears her heart on her face (July 12, 2018)

"Ha?!" Nagulat si Miala. "Undress?"

Then she realizes sinabi pala nito ang pangalan nito. ANDRES! Sobrang nakakahiya ng iniisip niya. Paano niya naisip ang Undress? Mabuti na lang at parang hindi nito narinig ang sinabi niya as the guy remained silent.

She defended herself sa mga evil thoughts na inisiip at kinausap ang kanyang konsensya.

Malay ko bang late niya sasabihin ang pangalan niya? Jusko kanina ko pa 'yung tinanong!

Pero kahit pa ganoon, kahit na nagets niya rin naman agad na pangalan nito ang sinasabing Andres at hindi siya pinaghuhubad, nauna nang pinamulahan siya ng mukha sa pagkapahiya. 

Especially as Miala feels Andres' hands on hers although she had already linked her arms on his.

"Anong problema?"

"N-nothing."

"Akala ko gusto mo akong paghubarin eh."

Miala turns red even more.

Lahat ng ito ay hindi nakaligtas kay Lenard.

Ngayon niya na lang ulit napagmasdan si Mia. After 3 years, wala na 'yung kid na Miala na nakilala niya. Na naging girlfriend niya. She grew curvaceous. Even to the point of being sensual. Halos nagmukhang greek goddess costume sa kanya ang infity dresses.

Hindi niya maiwasang i-compare kay Graciella na sobrang well-toned ng pangangatawan gawa ng madalas nitong pagji-gym. From there he realizes how much his taste has changed.

Or hasn't it?

Ang dami na rin talagang nagbago. But one thing about Miala didn't change. It's her severe blushing. And Lenard feels like his throat has sand. Halos hindi siya makalunok while looking at Miala blushing at Andres. The very blush na siya lang dati ang nakakatanggap.

This is how he knows how much Miala loves him.

She has Idiopathic craniofacial erythema. A condition wherein sobra siyang namumula dahil sa extreme emotion. Isa na dito ang kilig.

He remembers how funny it used to be noong tinatanggi pa ni Miala ang feelings nito sa kanya pero halatang-halata naman. It was a great thing to tease her about her own feelings. Lalo na kapag mali ang sinasabi nito kesa sa nararamdaman. He later used this to his own advantage. This was his proof of her own feelings for him.

Natapos ang photoshoot at naramdaman niyang sinisko siya ni Tom.

"Pare."

"Hmm?"

"'I know that look." Umiiling si Tom reminding him to be on his place. Alam niyang alam ni Tom ang jealous face niya when guys look at Miala when they were studying, noong sila pa. Gusto niyang magdahilan, but deep inside, aminado si Lenard.

He admits to himself that he felt a pang of strong feelings. Dahil ba sobrang tagal din nila. 5 years din niyang nakasama ang babaeng ito and she only blushes with him around. That's how he knew she only loves him.

Pero anong ginawa niya? Binigo niya ito. 

Sino ba kasing nangiwan? Eh 'di ba siya rin naman. Iniwan niya si Miala. So he tries to push away the thought and continues walking towards his car. Pinapapunta na rin kasi silang lahat sa church.

Magugulat si Lenard that lola Roxy is there laughing on her own.

"Lola! Ano bang ginagawa mo?"

But he already has a clue on what his lola is doing!

Kinuha niya ang DSLR to check, and this confirms his worries. Isa itong shot kung saan kitang kitang nakatingin siya sa direksyon kung saan nakatayo si Miala with defeated look on his face.

"What the fvck lola!" Gusto niya sanang burahin ito pero naagaw na ni lola Roxy ang camera at tumakbo na sa sasakyan nila.

"What fvck fvck. These are pictures and not fvck fvck." Lola smiles. "Unless that's what you want to think."

"Lola kase!"

"What?"

"Lola, I really regret teaching you how to use that DSLR!" Sigaw niya dito.

"Oh look at those red cheeks." Walang pakialam si lola sa mundo.
