ALIENS AND STARS, LIKE YOU AND ME [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 59

Even before I entered the university, I said goodbye to mom "Mom, I'm leaving." Mom said "oh okay take care." I smiled and we hugged as we said goodbye. 

After leaving the house, I was about to enter my car when I saw Kuya Ogi outside the gate of the house. I frowned and I walked closer to him. Paglapit ko sa kanya ay nakaupo siya lapag na para bang malalim ang iniisip. 

Habang nakatayo lang dun ay hindi niya pa din ako nakikita. Sabi niya sa sarili niya "Bakit ba kasi may iba kana kausap?" Hindi naman nagtagal ay nagulat siya nang makita ako na nakatayo dun "Sir! Kanina ka pa diyan?" 

I said "um, hindi naman." Napatayo siya at ang sabi niya "ah aalis na po kayo? Sorry nakaharang ako sa gate hehe." Sabi ko " No, it's okay, kuya pwede wag ka na mag po sakin, and didn't I say don't call me sir anymore."

Sabi niya "Ay sorry po, AY sorry pala." I asked "so...um ano nga pala ang ginagawa mo diyan?" He said "Ah, wala naman." 

Tinitigan ko siya, at ang sabi ko "pwede mo naman sabihin sakin kung ano yun." Natahimik lang siya, I said "narinig ko ang sinabi mo kanina, sino yung may kausap na iba?" Tinignan niya ako at tinignan ko naman siya na para bang inaantay ang sagot niya sa tanong ko. 

When he saw me waiting, he said "Kasi si Sara ang bilis naman makahanap ng ibang kausap eh, nung nagpunta tayo sa park diba niloko siya ng lalaking gusto niya? Kaya akala ko chance ko na isolo siya tapos malalaman ko nalang na may iba na siyang kausap." Napakunot ako lalo ng noo at ang sabi ko "wait, Sara?"

Natahimik siya "Do you like Sara?"  He just looked at me and didn't say a word. Well, I'll just take that as a Yes.

I asked "when did you like Sara?" Napakamot siya sa ulo at napahiya, he said "Matagal-tagal na rin." I asked "so...you're upset dahil sa tingin mo wala kanang chance na kausapin siya dahil may kausap na siyang iba?" 

He nodded and said "Oo eh." Napayuko siya nang sabihin niya yun, I kept quiet and also looked down. Hindi naman nagtagal ay nagsalita ako, sabi ko "Well, I think you should try to talk to her again. Hindi ka naman niya sinabihan na wag mo siyang kausapin diba?" 

He nodded, I said "Then...may chance ka pa, may chance ka pang kausapin siya." He slowly smiled and didn't say anything. Napatingin ako sa oras ko at ang sabi ko "um, kailangan ko nang pumasok." 

He said "Ay oo nga, baka malate ka pa, sakay kana, ako na bahala mag bukas at magsara ng gate." I said "Salamat." 

I got in my car, and when I got in, Kuya Ogi opened the gate. When I started the car engine, I started it out. When I left, I said "Thanks again!" He said "Salamat din uli."

After that ay tuluyan ko na ipinatakbo ang kotse ko. While driving I remembered what Kuya Ogi said to me.

"Kasi si Sara ang bilis naman makahanap ng ibang kausap eh, nung nagpunta tayo sa park diba niloko siya ng lalaking gusto niya? Kaya akala ko chance ko na isolo siya tapos malalaman ko nalang na may iba na siyang kausap."

I can't believe that he likes Sara. He's upset because Sara is already talking to someone else, and he thinks he has no chance to talk to Sara because of that. 

Kinda reminds me o Sam, Sam also talks to someone, but the only difference between Kuya Ogi and I is that he has a chance to talk to Sara even if Sara is talking to someone and I don't have a chance even if Sam is talking to someone else... because ..Sam told me that we should give some space with each other first.

I admit it, I can't stop missing talking to Sam. I'm really just comfortable when I'm with her and when I'm talking to her. I just don't know how long the 'space' we should give to each other. Should I... asked her?
