With You In My Life

5

"Oh, para san 'to?"
He just gave a petal of rose. Kinikilig ako, sobra.

"Wala, gusto lang kitang ligawan"

"Baliw kaba? Eh tayo na, manliligaw ka pa din?"

"Baliw? Yes, baliw sa'yo."
Wala na. Tunaw na tunaw na ako. Yung puso ko talaga hindi ko maiintindihan, ang lakas ng tibok eh.

Natulala ako bigla, nakatayo lang kami sa labas ng gate.

"Hey, are you okay?" He cupped my face. I felt his soft hand caressing my face. I can stay like this all the time.
I was closing my eyes, embracing his hands over my face. When he's doing this, I feel safe.

"Ahm, yeah. Pasok na tayo?" I took his left hand and intertwined it with my right hand. We are walking hand in hand towards the door .

It was already 1 pm and the party will start at 2 pm, pero wala pa din siya. Teka, bakit ko ba siya hinahanap? Kung ayaw niyang pumunta, okay lang naman, may Lloydie naman ako eh.

Matteo's POV

I already bought a gift for my girl. I'm so excited to give this to her, sana tanggapin niya. I also bought a bouquet of flowers only for Sarah. I will make sure na magugustuhan niya ang ibibigay ko sa kanya. Like what I've always said, I will make her mine again.

Phone rings.

It's Sarah.

on the phone.

"Hi, Sarah. I'm on my way? Why'd you call?"

"Ah, wala sige."

And she ended the call. Ganun lang? Ang cold. Nilalamig tuloy ako. Malapit na ako sa bahay niya. I was just wearing a simple tuxedo and a slocks. I need to be handsome in front of her kaya.

And I'm here.

I parked the car kung saan may isang kotse ding naka park kaya dun ko nalang din pinark yung kotse ko. Pagkababa ko ng kotse, there I saw the girl I love the most. My Sarah, she is so beautiful at her simple white dress, and her hair was neatly tied in a bun style. So simple yet so beautiful. Her makeup is so light. I slowly walk towards her. When I kept on walking, my heart beast so fast. I can't control it. And then I saw him, Lloydie. Bakit siya nandito? And he kissed my girl! WTF! Why is he kissing my Sarah? I need to act normal.

"Oh hi, Matt! Hindi ako na inform na invited ka pala." Si Lloydie. The Fuck? Anong akala niya saken? Ibang tao? May lugar din ako sa buhay ni Sarah noh. Hindi porket crush siya ni Sarah eh ganyan na siya sakin kung umasta .

"Surprised? Well, you should be." Sabay halik sa pisngi ni Sarah. I know his totally surprised. Well, hinawakan ko lang din naman ang kamay ni Sarah at inilayo sa kanya. Kung maka asta kay Sarah parang boyfriend level na eh palibhasa nagkatrabaho na sila. Wala naman akong dapat ika selos. Pero bakit parang nag iba ang ihip ng hangin? I know there's something fishy in here. Nagkatinginan silang dalawa bago ko siya inilayo. I couldn't help myself but to think on what is happening in here. Parang feeling ko may hindi ako nalalaman dito.

"Sarah?" I asked her. I felt that she's uncomfortable. I'm holding her hand and it's so cold. She's nervous, kapag ganito siya, alam kong may gusto itong aminin sa akin.
"Hey, look at me? Bakit ka nanginginig?"
Alam ko na eh, may nangyayari dito nang hindi ko alam. Nandito kami ngayon sa isang sulok ng bahay nila. Kaming dalawa lang ang nandito at madilim ang paligid namin. Gusto kong malaman kung anong nangyayari dito. Bakit parang kinakabahan ako. She's sweating but her hands is so cold. I'm getting worried.

"Sarah, answer me ? May kailangan ba akong malaman? Hey, why are you crying? Tell me Sarah, I'm getting worried in here. Please, say something." Pag alala kong sabi sa kanya. She's crying, and I can't bare myself to look at her crying.
