Tim POV

[at the pool area]

After that dramatic moment of us, finally... nagkaayos narin kami. Sa wakas, nagbati narin kami. And yes i admit, galit na galit talaga ako kanina. Yong tipong hindi ko na makontrol yong sarili ko sa galit ko. Bat kasi kailangan nya pa akong takbuhan? Feeling ko, iniiwasan nya ako ng harap-harapan. Well, lets move on. Ang importante, okay na kami. And now eto kami, magkatabi kaming nakaupo near the pool area. Enjoying the silence of the sorrounding.

" Eer Tim... asan nga pala yong bike mo? Hindi bat dala dala mo kanina? " she asked suddenly.

I looked at her and nod.
" yeap.. dala dala ko nga kanina. But when i saw you running away from me.. binitawan ko nalang. "

" mas importante ka naman don. " i mumbled as i looking away from her.

I dont know if she heard me. Pero napansin kong ngumiti sya at tila nahiya. And i noticed her cheeks turned pink again. Blushing?

" well Tim... i want to say sorry. Hindi ko dapat ginawa yon. " she said habang nakayuko. Her voice was very low, more like whispering but enough for me to hear what she is saying. I smiled.

" its okay. Beside, i understand you. Ganon ka pala magselos? Its cute! " comment ko ng bigla kong maalala.

She looked at me with her eyes wide open. Her jaw dropped in shock. At mas lalo pang namula ang dalawa nyang pisngi.
" you knew... "

" hindi. " sagot ko agad na napatingin sa kanya.

" actually i dont know. Hindi ko alam na nagseselos ka pala kay Aubrey. Hindi ko alam na... nasasaktan ko na pala ang feelings mo. " i added.

I suddenly feel guilty. Ang totoo nyan, hindi talaga ako ganito. Pagdating sa ibang bagay, alerto at sensitive ako. Pero pagdating kay ChungCha, nagiging careless ako. I looked down and apologized to her.
" im sorry young princess. "

She just smiled at me. At naramdaman ko nalang bigla... na may malambot na palad na dumapo sa ulo ko. She gently caressed my hair and looked at me lovingly. Damn it! Why she's acting like that? This will be the death of me.

" thank you Tim... Thank you for your understanding. " she said and then pulled off her hand from me and looked down. Bigla ata syang nahiya sa ginawa nya. Tsh, how cute.



*silence again*



Suddenly, i heard her heavy sigh. She looked uncomfortable. Parang mas gusto syang sabihin pero hindi nya masabi. Well, kung ano man yon... I'll wait for it and im just here to listen.




ChungCha POV

*heavy sigh*

Sasabihin ko na ba sa kanya? Ito na ba ang tamang oras para magtapat ako ng totoo kong nararamdaman? But i feel shy. And i feel scared too. What if... hindi nya magustuhan? But he said he like me right? Aww, ano bang gagawin ko? I feel nervous.

I stole a glance at him. Mukha naman syang nasa mood. And he look comfortable too. Maybe... this is the right time. Yeah right... gusto ko ng sabihin  ang matagal ko ng nararamdaman. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang magiging reaction nya after this but i dont care anymore.



*long sigh and gulped*



I need to calm myself first and remember... just act normal. Just tell what's inside the heart. The true feelings and i believe, everything will be allright.

"... Tim? " i called his name to get his attention.

" hm? " as he looked at me.

I looked down, avoiding his gaze. I feel very shy and nervous again. I thought im strong enough to tell my true feelings but i think...

" just say it ChungCha. " he said.

Napatingin naman ako sa kanya. I looked confused. How did he know what's in my mind? Manghuhula ba sya or what?

" if you want to say something... just say it. Dont be shy and feel nervous. Dahil hindi naman ako magagalit sayo. Hindi ako manghuhula para hulaan kung ano ang nasa isip ng mga tao. Dahil ako ang klase ng taong... hanggang hindi mo sinasabi sakin, hindi ko malalaman. " he said while smiling at me.

What a good encouragement! Well, he's right. Now... im going to focus. I focused myself looking at the water pool. The gentle and crystal clear water made me so calm.

" actually.. naiinggit ako kay Aubrey kasi... malakas ang loob nya. Kaya nyang sabihin ng diretso kung ano yong nararamdaman nya. Kaya nyang ipagtapat yong feelings nya sa harap ng maraming tao. I hope... maging tulad ko sya. " i paused.

" Tim... " as i looked at him. Looking on his eyes deeply and directly.

" I Like You Too. "

finally, i said it. Pero hindi ko inialis ang pagtitig ko sa mga mata nya. Gusto kong maramdaman nya... na lahat ng sasabihin ko ay totoo at galing sa puso ko. At nakita kong gumuhit naman ang ngiti sa mga labi nya. Its just a simple smile but he looked at me with full of love. Nakakatunaw yong tingin nya.

" i like you since the first time i saw you... I like you since the first time we met accidentally. Actually.. i think i fell inlove with you already. I dont know.. i just feel it. Ang totoo nyan... ako yong tipo ng taong hindi madaling magtiwala. Because of what happened from my past. Since that time... i did promise to myself that i will never trust again... never. But one day, i met a guy... a nice guy with a good heart. He saved me, he cared for me.... and said that he like me. Because of him... i forgot what did i promise to myself. " and i didnt expected to become emotional again. Naramdaman ko nalang na biglang may tumulong luha sa mga mata ko.


*sniff*


" because of him... i learned to trust again. I learned to become me again. And im scared... im scared that oneday he suddenly disappear into my life. Im scared that... i might lose him. But everytime he's with me... everytime he's beside me... im not scared anymore. I feel very safe and warm... and i feel love. Thank you for coming to my life Tim. " and i cant stop my eyes to tear up anymore. I let my tears to fell down from my eyes.

He smiled at me. A smile with full of emotion. And suddenly... he slowly cupped my cheeks and gently caressed them. Wiping my tears. We are looking to each other's eyes deeply.

" can i kiss you? " he asked.

Hindi nalang ako sumagot. I feel shy and embarrassed everytime he's asking this kind of question. Instead, i just stared at him and waited him to do it. At naramdaman ko nalang na malapit na yong lips nya sa lips ko. I just close my eyes and feel it.

----kiss----


He just pressed his lips gently against mine and i didnt move a bit. After a seconds...


he slowly pulled off from the kiss and looked directly into my eyes and then he smile. I smiled back at him. Finally, the dark clouds between us suddenly dissappeared. And i only feel the love hanging in the air. He looked up as if we can see the stars from here and smiled again. I only leaned my head on his shoulder and smiled too.
