Janine's

"Argh! Elena! I saw them. Hugging each other! Tapos wala lang?! Sinabi nya kasing gusto nya ako tapos makikipag yapusan sya sa iba! Anlandi landi nya! Nakaka-ugh!" Inis na kwento ko sakanya! Nakakainis lang. Yeah. Insecure ako kay Andrea dahil ex na sya, may pinagsamahan na sila. Ako, best friend. Kaibigan pa lang. What if trip lang pala nya ako? Na infatuation lang pala yung nararamdaman nya? I love him for years.

"Calm down, Janine. Malay mo naman kinocomfort lang or ano man nung tao yung isa. Don't overthink things. Papanget ka nyan." Malungkot na sabi nya. Eh? Teka nga lang. May problema ba 'to?

"Elena.." I looked at her. "May problema ka ba? Gabriel again? I heard he's going out with Rain." Okay. Forget about my problem. Mas kailangan ako ng kaibigan ko.

"I don't care about him, srsly. I am with Nathan. And for that week, I fell in love. He's really sweet and caring. And uhm, naughty and pervert. Most of the time." Pati ba naman yon sinama. Haha!

I wonder why thet don't like Elena. Mabait naman siya. Siguro ay hindi lang nila kinikilala. People nowadays.

"Oh? Ano ba ang problema dun? Ayy. Sabagay. Kakabreak lang naman nila ni Cath."

"He told me he likes me. And gusto nya kaming magwork. Pero, this past few days, medyo malalim lagi ang iniisip nya. At alam ko ang rason. Hindi ko alam kung dapat ko na itigil 'to."

"Eh, ano nga ba ang rason?" I asked her.

"Andrea talked to him. At sinabi nya ang reason kung bakit nag sinungaling si Cath kay Nate. At tingin ko, yun ang dahilan. " Pagkatapos ay nangalumbaba sya.

"Paano ku--" Hindi ko na natapos ang sasabihin ko dahil dumting si Sky.

"Elena, can I borrow her? Ibabalik k osayo ng buo at walang galos." Aba't?! Ano ako? Laruan?

"Sure." After that, hinila nya na ako. I waved her goodbye.

Nandito kami ngayon sa amusement park? Ano naman ginagawa namin dito? Andaming tao. Pero okay lang, this is fuuuuuuuuuuun.

He looked at his watch. "Hindi pa tapos. We still have time. Let's go." At hinila na naman nya ako. Hilig manghila nitong isa na 'to. Pero ayos lang. Mahal ko naman.

Hinila nya ako hanggang dito sa gitna. Lahat sila nakatingin samin. Nakapalibot kasi sila. Na para bang may inantay. Wait, gitna? I looked at my watch. It's 8 pm. And I remembered na merong mga nagsasayaw dito sa gitna. Omg. Nakakahiya! Hinila ko sya paalis pero hinihila nya ako pabalik. "Sky, ano ba?! Nakakahiya!" Singhal ko sakanya.

"Just go with the flow." Wala na akong ginawa kundi tumayo nalang kasama aya. At maga maya pa lamng ay nagumpisa na sila. May mga nagpuntahan at nagsayawan na sa gitna. Si Sky? Hinawakan nya ang isang kamay ko at ang isa ay nasa likudan ko. Inayos nya din ang kamay ko. Same sa mga nasayaw.

Tumungo nalang ako dahil sa hiya, pero naisip ko, maikli lang ang buhay ng tao. Kaya naman nakisabay na ako. Habang tinititigan si Sky.

"I love you." I mouthed and blushed. I saw him stiffened. Shocked. And then smiled at me. He didn't answered me back. That made me feel like a shit. Nakakahiya. Am I rejected? Sabagay sabi nya he likes me. Like. Not love.

Natapos yung sayaw pero walang nagkibuan. Nakapila kamj sa ferris wheel nang magpaalam sya na magcr. Malayo pa naman kami kaya pinayagan ko na. May mga lumapit sakin and gave me flowers. Roses. Sweet. Pero kanino galing? Kay Sky? Maybe.

Palapit na ng palapit ako peroala pa din sya. Hanggang aa eto na nga. Andito na. Sasakay na. Pero wala sya. Wala naman akong nagawa kaya sumakay na ako. Wala din tumabi saakin. Wala naman akong putok.

Tumigil naman aa tuktok. Darn. Bat ako pa ang nasa taas?! Takot ako. Wala pya ako g kasama. But then, biglang nagliwanag ang lang. Fireworks. Wow. This is one of my dream. Kaso nga lang ay wala ang taong mahal ko. Hay buhay. Tumungo ako dahil sa sobrang panghihinayang.

"Janine" I heard his voice. Nasaan sya? I looked up, again. I saw him. Nasa hot air balloon. "Can you be my girlfriend?" And he smiled once again.

-

Yup. Kami na. I answered him yes that night. I am now with the man I loved. Parang araw araw ay nililigawan nya padin ako. Flowers, chocolates at hatid sundo pa ako. Nagagalit nga si Zeke. My brother. Nagseselos na daw sya dahil palaging boyfriend ko ang kasama ko. Sanggang dikit din naman kami ni Kuya.

Parang ngayon, kasama ko na naman sya. May pupuntahan daw kami. At yoon, ay dito sa park. Nasa dulo kami kung saan uunti pang ang tao. Sa isang tree house. Yup. May tree house. He's houlding a guitar and started to strum and sing.

~I'll hold the door please come in and just sit here for a while this is my way of telling you  I need you in my life It's so cold without your touch I've been dreaming way too much can we just turn this into reality Cuz I've been thinking 'bout you lately maybe you can save me  from this crazy world we live in I know we could happen cuz you know that I've been feeling you~

Sinabayan ko sya sa dulong dulo. Ansarap pakinggan ng boses nya. Di sya kumakanta sa maraming tao e. Ako at si Rain pa lang naman daw ang nakakarinig ng boses nya.

~Storms they will come but I know that the sun will shine again he's my friend and he says  that we belong together and I'll sing a song to break the ice just a smile from you would suffice it's not me being nice, girl this is real tonight Cuz I've been thinking 'bout you lately maybe you can save me  from this crazy world we live in I know we could happen cuz you know that I've been feeling you I know you want me~

"I don't want you, Jam. I love you." He told me.

"I love you eve more, Sky. Teka nga, bakit ba Jam?" I asked.

"Jam, short for Jamine Mae." And I closed my eyes when he kissed my forehead. Oh, I really love this guy. I can see my future with him.
