ONE SHOT STORY 💖
TITLE: UNDENIABLY IN LOVE
"Baby gising na!" a familiar voice shouted inside my room, then throw me a pillow
Bigla akong bumangon when i realized that someone entered my room, na wala manlang akong shorts and im just wearing cycling and a plus size shirt
"Kamusta?" he asked and hugged me from my back
When i realized that it was him, i immediately turned to him and hugged him tight kahit puro pa ako muta
"Kelan ka pa dito Troy?" muntik ko ng malimutang nandito kami sa bahay at paniguradong nakatingin samin sina Mommy
"Ngayon lang" he smiled and kissed me on my cheek
Nagulat ako sa bigla nyang pag halik, although alam naman ng parents namin na we're really that close to each other
He's my cousin, he's a year older than me pero i never called him 'kuya'. He went to US to take his ojt there for 1 year.
"Ba't andito kana? Wala ka pang isang taon ah?"
"Namimiss na kita eh" tangina mo Troy nasa harap na tayo ng family natin, i roll my eyes on him
"Nagkaroon ng problema sa barko, they decided to let me go kasi wala naman akong alam sa nangyare eh" he explained to us
"Eh paano na yan? Anong mangyayari eh hindi mo natapos ojt mo don?" I sincerly asked
"Edi aalis ako ulit. Maghahanap lang ng bagong barko" he said, while smirking at me
"Where's my shoes?"
"Nasa bahay" he smiled, when he saw me giggled
"Tara sa inyo" i said while laughing
"Mom, punta lang po ako kina Troy" sabi ko at lumabas na
Naglalakad lang kami dahil walking distance lang ang kanila
"Baby" he murmured
He used to call me that since we were little. Only daughter kasi ako, and only girl at bunso sa side ni Mommy that's why he's calling me baby, and sometimes i also call him 'baby'
"Hmm?" I asked and slightly turned to him
"I missed you" he said, i rolled my eyes
"I missed you too" i smiled, and turned to my phone
"Who are you chatting? May boyfriend kana?" he asked coldly
"My friends po, and i dont have a boyfriend" i bitterly said
"Oh well, that's good" he smirked, and rested his arms on my waist
"Ikaw? You already have a girlfriend? Sabi ni Mommy, tita hates her?" I asked, teasing him
"Yes, niligawan ko nung nasa US ako"
"Palibhasa nasa ibang bansa kaya sinagot" i roll my eyes
"Bakit nagseselos ka?"
"Are you dumb? We're cousins, we can't like each other, paghihiwalayin tayo kung mangyari yon" dere deretso kong sabi
"Oh bakit masyadong defensive?" he laughed
Nakarating kami sa kanila ng nagaasaran
"Where's Tito and Kuya Kyle?" Tanong ko ng makitang walang ibang tao sa kanila kundi kaming dalwa
"Nasa roof top nyo si Dad, si kuya nasa work i guess" he said, and entered his room
I followed him, 5 months without him is so boring. Feeling ko hindi ako safe, walang naghahatid sundo sakin sa school.
Tumakbo ako para mayakap ulit sya
"Miss na miss kita Troy, wag ka na muna umalis" sabi ko, isang pitik nalang ay iiyak na
"Shhh baby, sige magbabakasyon muna ako ng 2 months" he said hugging me tight
"Ang ikli naman ng 2" frustrated kong sabi at mas lalong hinigpitan ang yakap
"Ilan ba ang gusto mo? It's already February and your vacation si on March"
" 3 months? Let's enjoy the summer together" i said without leaving his chest
"Hmm sige, where do you want to spend our summer?"
"Libre mo? Saka tayo lang with friends siguro or cousins din?" Excited kong sabi
"I'll let my girlfriend join, both cousins and friends will do basta kkb. But i'll treat you and my girlfriend. Tell your friends that we're going to spend our summer in Batangas" he seriously said, that made my heart ache
"Okay" sabi ko at umalis sa pagkakayakap
I went to his bed without minding him
"What's your problem?" he said worriedly
"Wala, you can go back to US. Since we were just planning for our summer vacation and no one still knows about it, we can still postponed it" i said coldly
"If that's what you want. You know i always do what my baby wants" he said, not leaving my eyes
"Kelan mo balak umalis?" sabi ko ng hindi sya tinitignan pabalik
"When do you want me to leave?"
"When you already finish your papers. Im going home" i said without looking at him and run away
He didn't follow me. We're cousins pero bakit? Bakit ganto nararamdaman ko? Mali naman eh, hindi pwede
Bata pa lang kami ganto na nararamdaman ko, kung sana ay nandito sya nung oras na may nililigawan sya ay paniguradong naaway ko yung babae para hindi nya masagot si Troy
I always ruined everything when Troy's courting someone. Gusto ko sakin lang sya sweet, gusto ko ako lang baby nya pero mali. Alam kong ako lang nakakaramdam nito kaya masakit kasi i always expect more about Troy, hindi ko alam pero nahulog na ako, nahulog na ako sa bitag ng kasamaan, na pati sarili ko hindi na alam kung paano umahon pa dito.
Paguwi ko ng bahay ay may familiar na kotse ang nakaparada sa garage namin. And i knew it's him, kaya pala walang humabol sakin kase ginamit ang sasakyan para mauna sa bahay. He really knew how to melt my heart, hays
I ran faster as i can and go to my room. Pero dahil mas malaki sya sakin ay naunahan nya ako sa loob ng kwarto ko
"Get out" i said
"Why would i? My baby is mad at me and i won't let you lock yourself in your room because of i don't fcking know the reason why"
"I don't need you here." sabi ko at nagderetso sa aking kama
"Tell me your problem before i leave"
"I don't have a problem" sabi ko at hihiga na sana ng bigla nya akong hinila para mapayakap sa kanya
"Baby please, ano yon?"
"Wala" then i rember him saying that he'll do everything for me
"Uhmm can you leave your girlfriend?" I asked without looking at him
"Why?"
"Ayoko ng may girlfriend ka, will you let me choose who you will court?" kahit alam kong hindi ko alam kung magagawa ko bang makita syang may girlfriend
"Hmmm"
"Uhm, did you love your girlfriend?"
"I don't know. I just court her because i thought i'm gonna forget about the first girl i loved before and the girl who i love the most until now" he said sincerly
Nagulat ako doon, may una pa pala syang minahal bukod sa girlfriend nya ngayon? Bakit hindi ko alam?
"Who is she? Bakit ngayon ko lang nalaman na may una pa pala bukod sa girlfriend mo ngayon?" i said, trying not to sound upset
I looked at him when i didn't get any respond, and he just closed his eyes and rested his forehead on my shoulder.
I let him stay like that way for a while, i know i'm his strength when he's stressed. I know what his thinking, but i'm still not sure about it.
"Baby" i murmured
"Hmm?" he said without leaving my back and shoulder
"Are you okay?"
"I'm always okay when im with you" aw, such a baby beast
"So what's your decision?"
"As i've said, i always do what my baby wants" he said and kissed me on my cheek
"And who's your first love?" Sabi ko at hinarap sya, niyakap naman nya ang bewang ko at sumandal sa leeg ko, i can feel the heat of his breathing
"Troy" i asked again when he still didn't respond
"Baby" he huskily said, urgh bat ang hot ng pinsan ko na'to?
"Answer my question" i said, umayos sya ng pagkakatayo ng ako ang yumakap sa kanya, but his face rested on my neck
"It's you" he said and hugged me tighter, habang ako hindi na magawang higpitan pa ang pagkakayakap ko sa kanya
