Love behind the Mask (FORVIENTE #1)

Kabanata 18 - Food Debate

RHEIG'S pov

Ria has been ignoring me since a while ago, she became quiet after I confessed

"Hey! I'm sorry, I know I'm selfish. Pero gusto Kong malaman mo ang nararamdaman ko" I said, kumakain si Ria, tumigil ito saka seryosong tumingin sa akin

I know I'm confusing to understand, kahit ako naguguluhan sa nararamdaman ko. I know she's confused about me.

Sinong babae ang maniniwala sa pagtatapat ko, e ilang araw palang naman kaming magkakilala

"You're fast" si Ria, Kita ko parin ang pagtataka sa kanyang mukha

Yah I'm fast! But I feel something strange about Ria, it's like we've known each other for a long time but I can't remember when

"I know, But this is how I feel. I'm the type of person that when I can't express my feelings to person I like, I feel like my heart is going to explode" I said

I don't know, but when it comes to the person I like. I become expressive. Pero pagdating sa harap ng pamilya ko I'm emotionless, like I'm cold. And that's because of tacey... The person I liked before--but not anymore

I talked to one of Tacey's friends then, he said that Tacey left me because he found out something about my personality, the state of my life and what I really am, and Tacey said she didn't want that... She wants someone who can fight for her, she wants a boyfriend who lives a normal life

Hindi yung Prinsipe na Nakatakdang ikasal sa hindi nya Mahal.

Kaya ganoon nalang ako kagalit sa magulang ko, I always ask myself, why in the royal family? Why not in a normal family?

"So your I.L.Y means I like you?" Si Ria, tila nakuha nya ang sagot na kanina nya pa iniisip

I don't know if I like her. Because I just don't feel likes. It's much more, and I can't name it

I swallowed hard, before answering

"Yeah, I like you" I lied! I don't just like her, it's more than that

"Bwiset ka!" Tumayo si Ria sa kanyang upuan, para lamang hampasin ang braso ko

"Ouch!" Daing ko habang hinihimas ang braso ko

"Pinag-isip mo pa ako, tapos iyon lang pala! May pa Three words, Three words ka pang nalalaman kanina sasabihin mo rin pala, nakakainis ka!" Kumuha ng tissue si Ria, she crumpled-- no, she molded it into a ball shape and she threw it at me! What a violent woman

Now, I like her more because of her violent behavior

"You know, you're putting yourself in harm's way" I smirked at her meaningfully

"What?" Her eyebrows furrowed

"Kaya mo ba akong saluhin? Mabigat ako" I said and chuckled when I saw her face confused by what I said

"Stop it! Anong nakakatawa? Tsaka bakit Kita sasaluhin? E Hindi ka naman mahuhulog!" Inis na Sabi nito, nakanguso ito, she's cute!

"Are you sure I'm not falling?" I smiled and bravely staring at her beautiful blue eyes

"Yeah I'm sure, eh nakaupo kalang naman dyan Kaya Hindi ka mahuhulog, But I can make it work naman e, if I drop you where you're sitting right now because I'm annoyed at dahil sa iyo iyon" she smiled, but there was no emotion in her eyes. Is she threatening me?

"Are you threatening me?" I asked, the smile disappearing from my lips

"No, pero kung gusto mo talagang mahulog. My pleasure to do that" she smiled
