Nagmamahal, Paraluman (Completed)

NP10

The day was out of sync with its mood as children, teens, and adults greeted each other a Merry Christmas down floor. Everyone around me is happy especially him. I didn't even know that it's his day today. Today's Salvador's twenty-fifth birthday.

Umagang-umaga ay kasalukuyan kaming nakaporma patungo sa mall malapit sa building. Sabi niya kanina, he wanted to go out with me as a birthday present as he, after lunch, will go for work for some news scheduled for him. Kanina'y hindi pa ako pumayag na magtrabaho siya dahil nga'y pasko ngunit siya naman itong si makulit at napapayag ako.

Syncing the theme of what's the event today, I wore a long skirt in bright red color paired with white lacy top that I think would make a perfect outfit matched with my neutral colored pumps to go with this outdoor. Simple lang ang aking suot dahil hindi ko na kailangan pa ng mamahaling pampaskong damit masabi lang na nakapag-celebrate ako.

Dahil birthday niya, I went in to his unit earlier to find some outfit matched for his birthday even he knows what's the word 'fashion' is. Kanina habang naghahalungkat sa closet niya, an opinion was said by my demonic mind. Magaling siguro sa math iyong tatay niya dahil kalkulado na kung kailan tatapat ang kapanganakan ni Salvador.

Because he's Salvador, I give him plaid red shirt with a little blue pics up the color of the jeans to pair up with my clothes. We're both a matching set. How funny.

"Is it me, or it's just we wore a couple outfit for today?" he inquired inspecting our clothes from the upper to lower wear. I rolled my eyes cutting his daydreaming. I opened up my IG and show him what theme and event it is today.

"Normal people, whether they're single, in a relationship, widowed, or iniwan, wears red, green, or white for Christmas day. Kahit nga sa school, kahit hindi valentine's basta't Christmas party, nakapula ako. Ikaw pa kaya?" I blabbered while motioning my thin hands on pure air. Siya naman itong napakamot sa ulo dahil siguro'y narealize niya na tama ako.

Sino naman kasi ang hindi kokontrahin si Salvador e halos ang mga artista at sikat na modelo ay nakapula rin, sourced by IG.

I just flipped my hair at parang may-ari ng sasakyang pula kung makasakay sa loob. I was just this happy about him celebrating his birthday. Gusto ko ring maging masaya at kampante siya kasama ako. It's the only thing that I could give to him as a present. Saka na ang yes kapag sigurado na ako sa aking unknown feeling.

"Madam, why so happy?" he asked while checking his fuel meter. Matapos no'n, he put his glance on me waiting for my answer. I replied, "It's your birthday! I want you to feel special just like what TWICE did to me." I chuckled while fixing my clothes infront of the mirror of my phone.

He started the engine beforehand speaking. "Thank you, but no thanks," he stated that made me turn my face at him with a left brow that almost reached the head of the clouds. "Everyday, you made me feel special... Alam mo bang ikaw lang ang babaeng hindi ko agad napa-oo? But your actions tells me otherwise just like how you hugged me yesterday at exact twelve in the morning."

Bigla naman akong napaiwas ng tingin. I don'tnt regret my actions, tho kahit alam kong pilit niya lang itong iniintindi. I'm this sweet to him lagi but not treating myself as his girlfriend. So ironic, right?

Wala namang masama sa ginagawa ko. Iyon ang alam ko, I can't tell it by words do why not in action? Mahirap akong intindihin pero pilit ko namang pinapaintindi that's why ganito kaming dalawa. We're like walang label na sweet or best friends na parang magjowa. Hayst.

I hugged him last night as a Christmas gift but it turns out iba ang tingin nila. People around me teases me to him and them pushing him to me. Masaya ang pagsalubong namin ng pasko. Puno lang ng positibo at kahit miisang negatibo ay hindi man la'ng nakaapak.
