Snippets (One shots)

Snippet 3 - Wanna Be Close

Kief: I'll just be in the car. Hihintayin kita. Saka na tayo mag-usap pag willing ng makinig ang puso mo.

I continued to walk. But before I could go further, I felt her warm arms around me. Huminga ako ng malalim.

I knew we were going to end the night badly if I stayed. Masasaktan lang siya sa sasabihin ko and just the same, triple din ang sakit na mararamdaman ko by being there, seeing her pour her guts out.

Ly: K-Kief... I'm... I'm sorry.

Hindi ako nagsalita.

Ly: Ba-bakit kasi hindi nalang ikaw yung p-pinili ko, e.

That line made me turn around. I wiped her tears and just hugged her. I had no words to offer. We had the same sentiment. Bakit hindi ako ang pinili niya.

When she calmed down, she broke free from the hug.

Ly: Akala ko ba mahal mo ko? You were against us all along, but why didnt you make a move to get me from him? Bakit moko hinayaan sa kanya? Kief, I wouldnt be this hurt kung ginawa mo yon. Hindi sana ako nahulog ng ganto kalalim if you were man enough to stand for me. Bestfriend kita. You should have taken me away.

Napaisip ako dun. Bakit nga ba?

Kief: Best, you had a choice and you chose him. Though I wasnt exactly happy with that choice, hindi naman importante yun e. What's important is your happiness. Sa kanya ka masaya kaya hinayaan nalang kita. Im your bestfriend. I should be happy for you, not take away your happiness.

I sighed again.

Kief: Aaminin ko, sobrang sakit nung di moko pinili. But Ly, I just wanna be close to you. Kahit as bestfriend man lang. I knew all along he was no good. I dont know if you noticed, pero I tried na unti-unti mong marealize yon... By showing you things a boyfriend should do. Nagbakasakali ako ng by being there for you sa times na wala siya, which was most of the time, maisip mo na i was worth it. Nagbakasali ako makuha ko ang loob mo, na mainlove ka sakin.

I bowed my head.

Kief: Pero unfortunately, you didnt bother. You were too blinded by love na you didnt notice he was giving short of what you truly deserve. Kaya eventually, I stopped. Ako ang nasasaktan para sa iyo e.

Ly: Kaya rin ba nagstop kang magpakita sakin?

Kief: I didnt, Ly. Narealize mo ba na sa lahat ng times na you wanted me to be there, nandun ako? Nagstop lang yun because you told me months ago to stop seeing you.

Para siyang na shock sa sinabi ko. Dont tell me hindi niya maalala na pinapalayo niya ako before?

Yes, ngayon lang kami nagkita ulit after almost a year. Ganun na rin kasi katagal since nung sinabihan niya ako to stay away because Kristoff didnt want me around her. And I respected that. Pero palagi ko pa rin siyang minomonitor secretly. Kahit naman ganun, bestfriend ko pa rin siya. Tas mahal ko pa. Four years na. I will always care.

Ly: Oh yes. Hindi ka na offend nun? I mean, why are you here? After everthing, andito ka pa rin. Kief, best, hindi ka ba napapagod sa lahat ng sakit na i caused you?

I smiled at her.

Kief: Sabi ko nga di ba, I wanna be close to you. Kahit na ano mang mangyari, ill always be here for you. You just needed to call my name.

Ly:Ay ano ba yan. Hindi ka naman superhero para marinig ang pagtawag ko sa pangalan mo...

Kief: Sus ang literal mo naman po. Tawag o text ka lang, dadating ako.

She smiled finally. Nagtaka ako kasi for awhile she was quiet. Akala ko iiyak na naman siya kasi naiisip niya ang breakup nila, when she looked up with probing eyes.

Ly: Mahal mo pa ba ako like... like... that?

Okay, san kaya tong usapan na to papunta. Anyway, I answered.

Kief: Oo naman. Di naman nawala e.

Her smile grew bigger.

Ly: Okay then. Continue showing me what a boyfriend should do. Ipagpatuloy mo ang naudlot mong misyon.

Natawa ako cos she sounded and looked so cute when she said that. Pinitik ko ang noo niya.

Kief: Hoy di porket brokenhearted ka bibigay ako sa lahat ng requests mo ha. Wag mo nga kong gawing panakip butas. Baka mamaya nyan ma fall ka ng tuluyan sakin..

Hindi nako natapos when she butt in.

Ly: Bakit di mo ba ko sasaluhin?

Kinindatan niya ako. Tamo to kala mo di galing sa tantrums niya.

Nakarinig ako ng kaluskos sa may likuran namin kaya I decided to end the convo. Mahirap na baka mahuli kami, makulong pa kami overnight.

I grabbed her hand.

Kief: Ikaw, brineak ka lang, kung anu-ano na pumapasok jan sa kokote mo. Lika na nga. Baka makita pa tayo rito!

Night guard: Hoy Kayo! Anong ginagawa niyo rito?!

Napalingon naman agad kami and we saw a night guard with a flashlight pointing at us. Naku patay! Sabi na nga ba mahuhuli kami e! I tightened my grip on her and she squeezed my hand back. Nagkatinginan kamo saglit and...

Both: TAAAAAAKBOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
