Pahabol

Kinabukasan ay plano ko sanang lumabas kasama nina Deity pero pumasok si Jackson sa kwarto ko.

I looked away from him and just stared at my face as I brush my hair.

"Lily.." he called me.

I started to put on some light make-up on my face.

He stood beside me and staring at me in the mirror. I didn't turned to him and just focused on what I am doing.

"I already really broke up with Vanessa, Lily," bungad niya pero nanatili pa rin akong tahimik. "Lily.." Jackson held my hand to stop me from what I am doing. Agad kong iniwas ang kamay ko sa kanya at muling nag-patuloy sa ginagawa

"Don't talk to me. I'm busy," sagot ko at inisod ng kaunti pa-gilid ang upuan ko.

I heard him sighed.

Jackson squatted and stared at me.

He gently held my hand again and put it down on my lap and swiftly turned me to face him.

I frowned.

His hands remained over mine that's on my lap.

Jackson licked his lips. "Are you mad at me?" he asked me.

I stared at him for a minute before I answered. "Why would I? Wala ka naman 'atang' ginawang masama," sarkastiko kong sagot at nag-iwas ng tingin.

He cupped my cheeks so I looked at him again.

"I promise. I'm not making fool of you, Lily. I really want to court you, to be my girlfriend to be exact," nanatiling blanko ang ekspresiyon ko pero dama ko ang biglaang pagbilis ng tibok ng puso ko.

He looks so sincere with what he said. But I can't take a risk. As what the others always say, looks can be deceiving. At ayokong isa ako sa mga biktima ng mga gano'n. Hindi ko ata kakayanin.

"Nagpaalam ako kay Tita Veronica," sabi niya. My brows arched.

"Para saan?" taka kong tanong.

Tumayo siya at ngumiti sa akin.

"Sabihin mo munang hindi ka na galit sa akin.." then he licked his lower lips.

I looked away. "I'm not mad."

Nilapit niya bigla ang mukha niya sa akin at pinakatitigan ang mga mata kong mabuti.

"But your eyes says 'yes', Lily," he whispered.

Umirap ako. "Okay. I got mad but you're already forgiven. Okay na?" pagtataray ko at tinaasan siya ng kilay.

Hinalikan niya bigla ang tungki ng ilong ko at hinila na ako patayo.

"Pero aalis kami ng friends ko. Pwede bang tommorow na lang?" tanong ko.

"Just ditch them," sagot niya at napa-irap ako roon.

"Wait lang. I'll call them na lang," tumango siya at hinantay na lang akong tawagan sila Kail.

Una kong tinawagan nga si Kail, sunod si Rian at last ay si Deity. They all ranted na naka-prepare na raw sila but I just apologized at them before I finally ended up the call.

"Okay na?" tumango ako at pinauna niya na akong lumabas ng kwarto ko at sumunod siya. I locked my room first before finally walking out of the house.

Sa kotse ko na lang tatapusin ang make-up ko dahil lipstick na lang naman ang kulang.

"Do you know where's Kuya nga pala?" I asked him dahil hindi ko siya nakita pagkababa namin kanina tsaka siguro baka nakasalubong niya si Kuya kanina.
