Kabanata 30
"I'm really glad I met you."
Tumitig ako sa mga mata niyang punong-puno ng emosyon. Hindi ko napigilan ang sarili ko at kusa itong lumapit kay Sandro, dahilan para mahalikan ko ito. Naghuhuramentado ng sobra ang puso ko.
Hindi naman ako nabigo dahil agad nitong ginantihan ang bawat halik na ibinibigay ko. Shit. Ramdam ko ang pagdiriwang ng mga paru-paro sa aking tiyan. I wish we could stay like this forever...
"Mas lalo naman siguro ako." Habol hininga kong sambit as we both let go of the kiss. Maging siya ay hinahabol ang hininga. Oh my God, we just did a french kiss!
Ano 'yon? Limang minuto, walang malisya?
"That was so good." Mahina ngunit rinig kong sambit ni Sandro. Parang nag-init yata ang pisngi ko sa sinabi niya.
Matapos ang ilang minutong pananahimik sa loob ng sasakyan ay muling nagsalita si Sandro.
"Do you want to eat? I bought some munchies and drinks before I fetched you." Gosh! This man is so romantic.
"Sure." Sagot ko at inabot nito sa akin ang plastic bag. I chose the starbucks bottled frappuccino. My all-time favorite.
"I bet you're a coffee lover." Napalingon naman ako kay Sandro na nakatitig sa bottled-coffee na hawak ko, maging ito ay parang gusto na lang din matunaw.
"Ever since." Maikling sagot ko at muling pinagmasdan ang matataas na gusali rito sa Makati. What a spectacular skyline view.
"Mich..." Pagkuha ni Sandro sa atensyon ko. "You know Gia Panlilio right?" Tumango ako. That was the girl who was rumored to be Sandro's girlfriend, according to some of his toxic and immature fans. Gano'n talaga kalala ang iba.
Pero hindi 'yon totoo. She is Sandro's best friend, at sa tingin ko naman ay mabuting tao si Gia. Ang problema, may lumapit lang kasi na babae kay Sandro, they would already label her as his girlfriend. That's why I can't blame Sandro for being upset with his other fans.
"What about her?" Tanong ko sa kanya.
"She'll also be attending the wedding in Spain because she's a mutual friend, and we're on the same flight." Sagot ni Sandro sa akin.
"Talaga? That's nice!" Sambit ko at nginitian ito. "Huwag mo na lang masyadong pansinin at isipin ang sasabihin ng ibang fans." He'd just stress himself out.
Bigla naman nitong kinurot ang ilong ko. "I'm going to miss you badly." Bumilis na naman ang tibok ng traydor kong puso. Damn!
"Ano ka ba? Almost a week lang 'yon." Sagot ko rito. "We can talk through Messenger, Twitter, Viber, or wherever you want."
"Fine." Maikling sagot nito at bahagyang humalakhak. "Alam mo ba? I'm already getting used to being with you almost everyday."
"Ako rin... And you're letting me get used to it." Sambit ko.
"So be it." Sagot niya sa akin at ngumiti ng pagka tamis-tamis. 'Yong killer smile niyang madalas makita sa vlogs ng tatay niya.
Dear Lord, sa tingin ko ay delikado na po talaga ako. Tingin Niyo rin po ba?
"Have you been here?" Tanong nito sa akin habang nakatanaw sa labas.
"Oo, I've been there." Turo ko sa tapat ng pinaghintuan namin. It is known for being one of the famous roof deck bars in Makati because of it's nice spot. "I was with my friends that time."
"Are you talking about your three friends?" Tanong niya at tumango ako. Sila lang naman ang madalas kong nakakasama sa mga gimikan, wala nang iba.
"Actually, they want to meet you, but I told them you're too busy." Nahihiyang sambit ko.
"Really? I would like to meet them, too." Sagot nito.
"I guess they are all smart, humorous, and fun to be with. Just like you." Ene be?
"One of them adores your brother, Simon, while the other adores Javi Benitez." Natatawa kong sambit nang mapagtantong hindi nagkakalayo ang hilig namin sa isang lalaki.
"How about you?" Nakangising tanong nito sa akin.
"Isn't it obvious?" Tanong ko sa kanya. Sino pa ba? Ikaw lang naman ang gusto ko, Ferdinand Alexander!
"I expected you to answer my question. Ang sungit!" Narinig ko ang paghalakhak niya at pinagsiklop nitong muli ang aming mga palad.
"You know, you make me so happy by just being around."
