Unexpected love affair

Fears

"Paolo,pag usapan niyo iyan ni Brandi,I'm sure she's crying like a baby now,iwasan mong masaktan pa siya ng sobra,I've seen her misserable once and I can't bear seeing her like that again"

Katatapos lang ng tryouts at nagmamadali akong makalabas agad ng gym,sabi ni Chris excited daw si Brandi na makita akong muli at may surprise daw ito. Sabay kaming lumabas ni Chris sa gym,inaasar pa niya ako. Malapit na kami sa parking lot,konti nalang ang mga students sa paligid, habang papalapit kami sa parking area namin ay may naririnig na akong sumisigaw at umiiyak.

Kinabahan akong bigla,nawala ang excitement na aking naramdaman kanina lang. Habang papalapit kami ay nagiging malinaw ang mga boses ng mga ito. We are two cars away from them when I stop,boses ni Brandi iyon na umiiyak. Nanikip ang dibdib ko,gusto ko siyang lapitan para yakapin,pero hindi ko maigalaw ang aking mga paa.

Kitang kita ng dalawang mga mata ko kung paano magmakaawa si Arthemis,ang pagluhod niya sa harapan ni Brandi pati na rin ang pagluha nito ay nasaksihan ko. Brandi was shock,umiiling lang siya na patuloy pa rin sa pagluha.

It was obvious,he wants her back,what makes me stunned is when he said that Brandi is just using me against him to get even on him. My heart stop a beat and my mind start to think. Our first meeting,our petty bet,how I pursued her,how we became a couple,how often she said she loves me and lastly how we got engage.

All of it came crushing to me,it hit me big time. I forced her,I forced her into this relationship that we have now. It's all my idea,my damn idea.

I heard when she contradict all Arthemis pàinful words against us. She said she loves me so much and I can feel her,it's real but my mind is not accepting all the realisations that covers it all. I'm starting to get worried what if Arthemis force her back at him? Will she left me for him? She did love him once,is it possible for her to love him again? and leave me in pain?

All my thoughts stop when Christian called my name.

"Dude,huwag mong pansinin ang sinabi niya,mahal ka ni Brandi,whatever circumstances it takes for you to have her,it doesn't matter at all,she's not a kid anymore,she have her own mind and heart that she won't allow anybody to interfere,just trust her that's all you could do for now"

He suggested na iuwi ko na si Brandi pero natakot akong lapitan siya. Pinakiusapan ko si Chris na siya na lang ang maghatid kay Brandi gamit ang kotse ko. Binigay naman niya sa akin ang susi ng kotse niya.

Walan akong maisip na ibang mapuntahan,ayoko munang umuwi sa bahay,siguradong kukulitin na naman ako ni dad tungkol sa amin ni Brandi and I'm not in the mood for that now.

Habang nagdadrive pumapasok pa rin sa isip ko ang mga nasaksihan ko kanina pati na rin ang sinabi ni Chris. He is right Brandi loves me and I love her too. Trust! That should be the center of ou relationship.

I ended up here sa bagong bahay nila Arnel mabuti nalang at wala si Karen,nagpunta daw ito sa probinsiya bukas pa daw ang balik nito.

"Alam ko naman iyon,but I'm not ready to talk to her yet,maybe tomorrow,pag okay na siya,pag okay na din ang pagiisip ko,ayoko namang umabot kami sa puntong magkasakitan kami emotionally,kelangan muna namin ng konting oras para sa sarili namin,it's a shocked to her I can feel it"
