SA PANAGINIP NALANG

CHAPTER 3 - BETWEEN US

Third person's view

As Riece and Sevi continued their SITUATIONSHIP, many of their classmates and friends were confused about what was between the two of them.

"Behh!! Bat mo pinost ung pic ko??" Tanong ni Riece kay Sevi, may pagdabog ng kaunti pero purong biro lang ang pag sama ng tingin niya kay Sevi "HAHAHAHA ang cute mo kaya" nahiya ng bahagya ang dalaga sa sinabi ng kanyang kaibigan "geh, sabi mo ei, ganyan ka ei, ayos ka din ei" ang tono ng dalaga ay hindi mawari kung ito ba ay galit, naiinis, o nagiging sarkastiko lamang. Well, knowing Sevi who knows what kind of humor Riece has, he just laughed it off, then pinched Riece's nose "cute."

Few days after

Riece's pov

Hapon pa lamang nang nag text sa'kin si Sevi na susunduin nya daw ako, di ko man alam kung ano o saan kami pupunta o kung anong gagawin namin, basta um-oo nalang ako dahil mahilig syang lumabas at gumala kung saan saan. After a few minutes, I already saw him outside our village... Our parents still doesn't know what is between the two of us so we need to act and talk to each other as if we're JUST friends. "Sev! Kanina kapa ba dito??" I asked him when i got closer to him. "Hindi pa naman po" he smiled, then I nodded we got into a taxi and drove off, inside the cab I asked him "sa'n tayo??" He immediately looked at me "mall lang po, SM megamall hehe" I nodded.. as the atmosphere between us inside the cab got silent. I wondered while staring outside the window. "Is what we're doing wrong?? Because we're still young and our parents doesn't know what are we—that we have feelings to each other, in short we have M.U or mutual understanding. What if my parents will find out what we feel towards each other?" Many more questions spinning in my head, I snapped back into reality when someone tapped my shoulder, it was Sevi.. of course. We got out from the taxi cab then we entered the SM megamall "Ano bang gagawin natin dito??" Tanong kong muli "hindi mo ba alam kung anong araw ngayon??" Tanong nya pabalik saakin "hindi, bakit?? Nubameron?" Tumawa lang si Sevi sa tanong ko at umiling, soon I found both of us inside a café, as we sat down on our table after we ordered on the counter.. he spoke "Happy Valentine's Day bb.." then, he gave me a white little box with 'pandora' written on it... Wait.. is this a promise ring?!?!? The one that is trending on tiktok?!? I gave him a hug with a big smile on my face, ohhh it's Valentine's day pala huhu, di ko alam. "Omg, I totally forgot that it's Valentine's right now... But thank youuu Sev!! Alabyouu" he smiled then pat my head, he also gave me five(5) purple tulips. We ended up talking about OUR future together.. and think about our age and that this isn't the right time for us, and even if we're talking seriously he always find ways to say something that is nakakakilig or what we call a 'pick up lines' because he said that he loves it when he can make me smile and giggle with a blushing face.

I love him, but im afraid that the feelings we feel right now will eventually fade, then we'll get this realization that the situation or relationship we have now is just a 'puppy love' and we will not grow up together and end up together... forever, it hurts thinking about it.

What if, you thought it was love.. but it turns out... Both of you are just Infatuated.
