A Simp’s Dream

“Puwede ba kitang makausap?”

Natuon ang atensyon ko sa kaniya sa tanong niyang iyon. He asked that in a straight and grave voice. By the tone of it, he’s probably gonna say something serious to me.

Nagsiuwian na ang mga estudyante sa paligid ng kinaroroonan namin kaya tahimik dito kahit pa na nakatayo lang kaming dalawa. Lumuwag naman ang loob ko do’n dahil walang mag-uusisa sa'min.

Inisip ko kung ano ang mga posibleng bagay na sasabihin niya sa’kin. Is he going to talk about student council issues to me? About classworks? About my duties?

Or maybe… he’s going to break ties with me…

Masiyado na kasi kaming nagiging malapit nitong mga nakaraang araw kaya hindi malabong sabihin niya ‘yon ngayon. Knowing Braiden, he’s going to be awkward with that and will just diss me aside.

If that’s the real case, then I’m ready. Magmomove-on na lang siguro ako kahit mahirap… mahirap siyang kalimutan.

At tsaka, marami pa akong ibang priorities. Sa school, sa role ko bilang School President at kay Mommy. Marami pa akong puwedeng pagtuunan ng pansin kahit na… kalimutan ko siya.

I decided to do that with confidence but… I’m hurting inside… really hard. Ang hirap… ang hirap kalimutan ng taong matagal mo nang ginusto. Ang hirap… ang hirap niya alisin sa isip ko!

Damn you Braiden! Hanggang ngayon ba naman!

He slightly bows down his head for unknown reason. I can’t really tell what he’s thinking right now.

My heart leapt to my throat when he took one step forward. I’m starting to get nervous about this.

Ang hakbang niyang iyon ay sinabayan pa ng kasunod na hakbang. I bit my lip for the anticipation of negative consequences.

Dumami pa ang hakbang niya hanggang sa makarating na siya sa harapan ko. I stared at his eyes, with both confusion and fear.

I felt the time stopped ticking between us when he suddenly hugged me. He caught my body and I fell in his soft chest.

He tightened his embracement on me and I feel like I’m a prey that was cornered by it’s predator. It’s like… he doesn’t want to release from his arms.

I can’t escape to him whatever I do.
Yes, I can’t escape but I didn’t tried to resist him… because it’s too late. I’m already cornered by his charm instantly and there’s nothing I can do about it.

Because of the close distance, I can clearly smell him. He smelled like a musky and manly to me. Miraculous ‘cuz I feel like he’s getting manlier and manlier to my eyes ‘till now.

He placed his chin on my shoulder in a gentle way. He also untightened his hug on me a little bit, probably ‘cause he thinks that I’m suffocating.

Ugh! This man!

Damn you, one hundred damn you, Braiden Silvanio! Pinapahirapan mo talaga ako sa pagmomove-on lalo! Paano kita kakalimutan kaagad niyan kung ganito ang gagawin mo sa’kin?

Pinaparusahan mo ba ako? Ano ‘to parusa? Grabe ka na ah! Ano bang nagawa ko sa’yo’t grabe naman ang pagpapahirap mo sa’kin emotionally?

I said that in my mind but I can’t really form a hatred to him. Para bang… nabura na kaagad nang ganoon na lang kabigla bigla ang mga galit at hinanakit na nakatambay rito sa puso ko sa kaniya.

You’re really a mystery…

He sniffed my hair on my back that really makes me conscious. Shucks! ‘wag mong gawin ‘yan! Naligo naman ako pero nakakahiya pa rin!
