My Rival Enchantress

BABE?

NAKAKAKABA.

EXHILARATING.

AMAZED.

Yan ang nararamdaman ko habang nakatingin ako ngayon, mixed emotions at a moment.

"Hi babe."

Amanda is already here.

That whisper, made me calm all over again.

The way Amanda says 'babe' feels like I am that really important to her.

My heart is automatically filled, the way she say it slowly is on point and at ease.

Amanda, why are you making me feel this way?

She sat beside me and stared at the stars, doon kasi ako nakatingin ngayon e.

"You know what you are the most beautiful thing that happened to me."

Biglang lumakas ang kabog ng dibdib ko.

Wha-what is she talking about?!

Bakit ganito?!

Bakit ako?! 

I slowly turned my head towards her.

She's making me stop from what I'm doing right now, the way she complimented me, iba e, may something talaga.

This past few days, sobrang napalapit na kami sa isa't-isa, yung unang nakilala kong Amanda, hindi pala talaga siya ganon.

The practices we had together, the q and a's mas nakilala ko pa siya.

She's really kind, bubbly and amazing at the same time, she's total package.

After niya mag-sorry sa akin noong Monday, she became very careful when it comes to my mental health.

Hindi na niya ako inaway ever since.

Why am I scared na masaktan niya ako ulit?

Bakit? Pakiramdam ko natatakot ako na mawala siya?!

Am I really scared to lose her?!

Hindi ako makapagsalita sa sinabi niya.

She automatically made me stop.

Pakiramdam ko pinapatigil niya ang oras kapag kasama ko siya.

I wanted to stay like this forever.

I wanted to see Amanda always with me.

I want to stare at her forever.

Tinignan niya ako at ningitian, those eyes. Parang namumuo ang mga luha.

She's really serious while looking at me.

Ba-bakit ganito?!

"I am sorry for hurting you at your first day."

She said and suddenly smiled at me.

"That was my real intention at first, to give you a threat, to scare you."

A-ano?!

Bakit?!

"But suddenly, the more I see you, the more I care for you."

Hindi na ako makahinga ng maayos.

Hindi na ito normal diba?!

Anong sinasabi mo Amanda?!

Diretsuhin mo na kasi ako!

Ano ba talaga?!

She always takes care of me, talks to me, asks me everyday if I am doing well.
