Chapter Twenty: Serious

slight bridgerton reference <3 - aly

Hindi ko maalala kung ano nga ba ang concept ng panliligaw?

I mean I get it. You basically do everything for that person. You're chasing them and it doesn't matter how long it takes as long as they finally fall for you.

And then... you ask them the question and if they say yes then hooray.

But if it's a no? Whew, good luck na lang.

Pero minsan 'di na kailangang itanong yung tanong tapos sila na. Minsan nga wala nang ligaw ligawan eh, yun lang naman ang narinig ko.

Tulad nung kay Geneva. I heard that Dominic never courted her but they got together and got married right after. Pero parang si Geneva naman ang nanligaw kay Dominic nang ilang taon, 'di ba?

Magugulat ako kapag tinanggihan ulet ni Dominic si Geneva pero of course ang ganda ganda ni Geneva tsaka matalino pa, sure ba talaga si Dominic na tatanggihan niya pa yung babaeng matagal niya ng mahal.

Also, it was painfully obvious to see him drown in anger and madness when she announced that she was engaged to Silas. Akala ni Dominic hindi halata, na professional, but it was painfully obvious and it took me a while to realize na nagseselos pala si Dominic nung araw na yun.

'Di man naligawan si Geneva, rinig ko na naligawan yung kambal--Karine and Cerine. Niligawan ni Felix si Cerine, mga ilang araw lang yata kasi 'di nila mapigilan yung isa't-isa.

Medyo naguguluhan ako kay Karine at Zaiden. Sabi nililigawan pero sabi naman ng iba may something something na sila, it just took a while for Karine to realize that she does have feelings for him, so I'm not sure.

Now... how do you do this?

How does one react when someone is courting them?

Ilang buwan ba o taon bago ko siya bigyan ng sagot?

I am confused.

'Di pa 'ko naligawan noon... o baka naligawan na 'ko noon pero 'di ko lang alam.

Anong klaseng pangliligaw yo'n kung hindi ko alam na nanliligaw yung tao sa'kin?

"Good morning!"

Shit.

Muntik ko nang mabitaw yung kape na binili ko sa hallway dahil sa boses niya. Ang taas tapos ang saya saya pa, I get it that he's excited for the success of the series but some of us just woke up.

"Mr. Cardoza—"

"Bakit ang ganda ganda mo, hah?" Bulong niya bigla.

Hah?

Ano raw?

"Ah.. uhm..."

"Sorry, I can't help it. 'Di mo kasi ako nireply kaninang umaga..."

Oh, shit. Tinext niya 'ko.

"I... sorry. Hindi ko tsinek... phone ko."

I trained myself to not look for my phone whenever I wake up, tsaka nasa laptop ko naman yung schedule ko so I don't go on my phone unless it's really important or I got nothing to do.

"Tsk, akala ko iniiwasan mo 'ko." Nguso pa niya.

"Hindi kita iniiwasan. Kahit na iwasan kita, boss pa rin kita at empleyado mo 'ko. It would be... impossible." Explain ko para 'di na siya magpanic.
