Forbidden

Chapter 41

Matapos ni Krypton ay si Czar.

We just dance at napaka-awkward namin. Hindi kami nagkikibuan. Halatang-halatang hindi kami magkasundo.

"Sky," he started.

"Bakit?" I asked coldly.

"Happy Birthday," aniya.

"Well... thanks." What kind of act is he trying to pull?

Tapos katahimikan naman ang bumalot sa aming dalawa.

Atleast hindi niya ako kinakausap. All I can think of is about my earlier conversation with Krypton.

What if they find this out?

I don't know... really!

Jared squeezed my hands. Siya na pala ang kasayaw ko!

"Are you alright?" He asked with concerned.

"Alam ni Krypton," iyun agad ang isinambit ko.

"Ang alin?"

"Ang tungkol sa atin."

Natahimik siya saglit at saka napahingang malalim.

"Well, we should expect our Doom's Day sa oras na magsusumbong siya."

"No, he won't tell anyone."

"So why are you worried then?"

"Paano kung hindi lang siya ang nakakaalam? We might not know EJ or Rio or whoever finds this out. Worst kung parents natin mismo ang makahalata."

"Will you stop worrying?" He smiled at me. "Sa pinanggagawa mo, masyado ka nang obvious."

He slightly pulled me closer to him.

"Forget about your worries. Forget about it for a while, would you?" He told me with such gentleness.

"Paanong hindi ako mag--"

He pulled me a little more closer to him.

"Stop worrying okay? Everything is fine. Need not to be worried. This is your day. Sieze this moment," he said. "Why don't we just forget about them for a while and sieze this moment na magkasayaw tayo."

"I guess you are right," ani ko.

We dance in the middle of the crowd.

"Gwapo mo ngayon," komplimento ko sa kanya.

"Matagal na." Wow! Yumabang bigla!

"Really? Matagal na pala? Bakit ngayon ko lang napansin?" Pagbibiro ko.

"Bulag mo kasi!" Sagot niya at napanguso.

"Heh!" Napatawa na lang ako sa kanya.

"Eh ako? How do I look tonight?" I asked.

"Hindi mo ba tiningnan sarili mo sa salamin?" Pamimilosopo niya.

"Engot mo. Sagutin mo na ako!"

"Well, there is no word that can describe you tonight."

Parang ewan naman ito oh! "Bakit wala?" Tanong ko.

"Sa sobra mo kasing pangit ni ang salitang 'pangit' mismo naging understatement na!" Panunuya niya.

I purposely stepped on his foot.

"Aray!" Angal niya.

"Masakit ba? Sorry. Gusto mo dagdagan natin?" Painosente kong sambit.

"Ang dali mong mapikon, ano? Oo na maganda ka na!"

Napanguso ako. "Parang napipilitan ka naman eh!"
