Tumaas ang kilay niya at nakapameywang pa "Dinamay mo
pa yung bata sa kalokohan mo."

"Sorry na. Hindi ko kasi alam kung paano ka iimbitahin for a dinner date. Sabi mo pa kaninang umaga na marami kang gagawin ngayon. Pasensya na kung naabala kita atsaka wag kang magagalit kay Lala ha?"

"W-wat, dinner date?"

Lumampas ang tingin niya sakin at doon niya lang napansin ang set up.

"Err yeah."

"Why?"

"Um can we eat first? then after sasagutin ko lahat ng tanong mo."

She just stared at me.

"Please?"

Umiwas siya ng tingin at bumuntong hininga.

"Fine."

I smiled "Thank you." iginaya ko siya sa table at pinaghandaan ng pagkain.

"How's the food?" I asked

Tumaas ang kilay niya.

"Okay, tatahimik na ako." mukhang galit pa ata.

Tsk!

Tahimik kaming kumain. Mukhang nagustuhan naman niya ang pagkain. Ang gana niyang kumain eh.

"Now care to tell me why are you doing this?"

"Um actually, I don't where to start."

Bigla siyang tumayo dahilan para matumba ang silya.

"Enough with the games Sky! Dahil litong lito na ako. Hindi ko alam kung bakit mo 'to ginagawa? Yung mga sweet gestures mo? Yung concern mo? Lahat! Hindi ko alam kung dapat ba akong umasa sa lahat ng pinakikita mo. For goodness sake! Tell me! Dahil pagod na ako!"

"Can you lower your voice down?! Andito lang ako oh?" pinakalma ko ang aking sarili "I-I don't know how it happened or when but it just did! I just felt it and . . . and oh f*ck it! I'm not good with words." lumapit ako sa kanya ng sobrang lapit and looked into her eyes "Mahal kita okay?" buong puso kong pahayag "Ginawa ko lahat ng yun at ito dahil gusto ko iparamdam sayo kung gano ka kahalaga sakin."

Shock is written all over her face. Her mouth slightly parted because of my revelation.

"I . . . I" she uttered.

"If your tired then take a rest but I won't let the chance to slip away. I'll court you whether you like it or not."

She closed her eyes.

"Lahat ba ng sinasabi mo ay totoo?" she asked directly into my eyes.

"Yes." walang kurap kong sagot.

All of a sudden, her tears began to fall.

"Hey why are you crying?" I panicked.

She continue to cry and I didn't know what to do so I grabbed her and enveloped her in my arms.

"Ssshhh." I caressed her back.

Maya maya ay pinaghahampas na niya ako.

"Nakakainis ka! Nakakabwisit!" she keep saying.

"Hey stop!" I held her arms "Bipolar ka ba?"

"I hate you!" she pout.

Hindi na ako nagdalawang isip pa na halikan siya. Smack lang naman.

Tinakpan niya ang bibig "Why did you do that?!"

I shrugged "Stop being adorable then."

"Arrggh you can't do that! I'm not even your girlfriend!"

I chuckled "Don't worry, you will be. SOON."

"Ha! Let's see then!" she challenged.

"I'm gonna sweep you of off your feet, just wait and see but for now, let me treasure this moment first." I grabbed her and embraced her.

"I love you." I whispered.

Sumiksik siya sa leeg ko. Napangiti ako.
