What is Love?! [BL]

CHAPTER 17

LIGHT'S POV

"Where is Grace? Are we going to shop even she is not here? Or did she get something?" Sunod sunod naman na tanong ni Flynn na kakadating lang na kasama si Jieya na naka-shades, hindi ko alam yung trip ng babaeng to pero sa mall naka sunglasses.

"What's wrong with Jieya?" Tanong ko naman kay Flynn not minding his question. Tumingin namn siya sa akin at niliitan ako ng mata. "Even if I can't hit you Light, answer my question first before I answer yours" sabi niya naman na siyang ikinatingin ko nalang sa ibang direksyon habang hinahanap kung nasaan na ba si Grace, pero lumaki lang ang mata ko, pagkakita na may bitbit na shopping bags si Grace with Chen on her side. Eh????

"Ohh... That's the answer. They are very close more than what I think, Yes?" Tanong niya naman sa akin na siyang may ngiti sa mukha niya. "That's my answer, then, what's yours?" Tanong ko naman sa kaniya. I am giving up with Flynn, I know how far he could just to tease me with his nonsense.

"The dust, I didn't know while I am driving I opened the window because of some bugs happen to make its way to my car then the truck carrying dust suddenly appears. It's my bad" sabi niya naman na siyang ikinatango ko. Napakamalas naman ngayon ni Jieya, una tinapunan siya ni Lei ng Ice cream, sumunod napuwing. Well, hindi naman din ako lucky dahil alam ko na bwebwesitin lang ako ni Chen at Grace.

"I wonder where you are and then here you are, Grace. Hi, nice to meet you again Chen" sabi naman ni Lei sa paparating na si Grace na kasama si Light. Umiwas naman ako ng tingin, it's awkward. The last time we talk is that nandun kami sa malapit sa Main Cafeteria at hindi naman maganda ang ikinalabasan ng kwentuhan namin. I am right at we are hurting ourselves if we push to be together again.

"Well, I'm on my shopping day since I arrived just few weeks ago and I have to set-up my place. Grace just happen to see me here, I'm sorry if I intrude or something" sabi niya naman at ngumiti sa kaniya. At baka nga tulad ng sinabi ko sa kaniya, he is now trying to console me, he is trying to refresh our friendship again. Well, it's not bad since I am forgiving person. I just can't forget.

"Can I talk to you, Chen?" Tanong ko naman sa kaniya na siya niya namang ikinatango, maya maya pa ay lumalayo layo muna kami sa kanila. It's privacy, I know they understand me why.

"I know it's not just coincidence" pangunguna ko naman sa kaniya. Yes, I can spot whether he is lying or not. "From the shopping bags that you are carrying, and from Grace spotting you. It's not coincidence" dagdag ko naman sa kaniya habang nakatingin sa kaniya. Tiningnan niya rin naman ako habang nakapangamot ang ulo niya.

"Well, yeah, you are right. But I'm not here to push you or anything about us, back together. I think it for days that it must be good just to refresh our friendship and start again. It's good right? It's not like I am hurting both of us?" I smiled at him, I know it must be painful in his side to admit that we are not coming back together after years. But we can still revive the memories we share and we can still be start anew. In that situation, we can build also a healthy relationship and we can both now understand each other more deeply. And I think being friends would be stay longer than any commitments.

"I'm happy that you decided to do that, Chen. You are always strong spiritually, and I know someday you and I would find peace in our hearts. I'm sorry that I can't make another chance for our relationship romantically, and I know you know the reason" sabi ko naman sa kaniya and hugged him. For a reason, naramdaman ko naman na unti unting lumuluwag ang pakiramdam ko. It's not being selfish to do this, I am thinking about Chen too, instead of avoiding him, Instead of throwing him out in my life, it's better to start again as friends.
