The Prince Who Pricked His Finger On The Spindle of a Spinning Wheel (Prince#2)

Chapter 22

Chapter 22

Wala akong tigil sa pagso-sorry kay Ahmed. It was my fault, I should have tried harder to avoid Triton. Dahil 'yon naman ang tama, Ahmed won't like it when I'm sticking with Triton. Someone who confessed to me.

I should have stopped myself from crying and telling him what I felt. Hindi na ito tama, dahil kami na ni Ahmed. Our friendship can't be considered healthy if Ahmed's always getting angry.

"I'm really sorry Ahmed, I promise I'll do my best to avoid him. H-Huwag ka nang magalit sa akin."

We're on the rooftop while he's still keeping his mouth shut. I leaned my forehead on his arm.

"I'm sorry Ahmed, I'm sorry. Hindi na ako uulit, please don't be mad at me."

"I am not mad at you, Soren. Kay Triton ako nagagalit, something like he wasted all those years of our friendship." Sa unang pagkakataon ay ngayon ko nakikitang nagagalit si Ahmed.

He was always calm and composed, ginalit ko talaga siya.

"H-He's always like that, Ahmed. Triton is selfish when I've met him." Lumingon sa akin si Ahmed.

"And you're ta—" agad akong umiling sa kanya.

"No, I am not taking his side. H-Hindi na lang ako nagulat, ito ang ugali ni Triton matagal na."

"And you're fine with that, Soren? Papaano kung totohanin niya? What if he stole you away from me?" I can see pain in his eyes.

"Don't you trust me, Ahmed? I chose you, ikaw. I'll stand on my decision. I love you Ahmed since we were kids." Napatitig sa akin si Ahmed.

Nanlalaki ang mga mata nito sa akin na parang hindi niya mapaniwalaan ang mga sinabi ko.

I'm sure that I'm in love with Ahmed, hindi siya ang pipiliin ko kung hindi ko siya mahal.

"I heard it right, Soren?" tumango ako sa kanya.

He smiled.

I blushed when I felt his arms around my waist, he pulled me closer until I felt his warm breathing. The tips of our nose are touching.

He's going to kiss me.

Sinimulan ko nang ipikit ang aking mga mata at nang hinihintay ko nang maglapat ang aming mga labi, bigla na lamang akong napasigaw sa naramdaman ko.

I automatically snaked my arms around his nape and looked down. Kahit si Ahmed ay nagulat rin sa pagsigaw ko.

"It's a cat!"

Narinig kong tumawa si Ahmed.

"It's just a cat, Soren. You're really this cute." Humalik siya sa pisngi ko habang nakatitig ako sa pusa na nakikipaglaro sa mahabang binti ni Ahmed.

I want to play with that cat but I am allergic.

"Let's go, this cat is too risky for you."

Buhat ako ni Ahmed sa paglalakad sa rooftop habang nakatitig ako sa kanya.

"Still mad at me?"

"Hindi na," ngumisi ako sa sinabi niya.

"I love you Ahmed,"

"I love you more, Soren."

Ako mismo ang humalik sa matangos niyang ilong. Bigla na lamang namula ang tenga niya.

Ibinaba niya na ako sa may hagdan at hinatid niya na ako sa aking classroom. Bati na kami ni Ahmed. Sinabi niya sa akin na susunduin niya daw ako mamaya.
