8 Years Gap

Gap #55

"But for me, falling in love with you is taking the risk whether to be broken or not. That's how I am different when I'm with you." Dagdag ko pa sabi sa kanya at wala siyang masabi.

"Let me ask you this. Does being different when you're with me means a change for you?" Deretso ko na tanong sa kanya, pero hindi ako nakatingin sa kanya.

"Yes." Deretso niya din sagot sa akin.

"It just means you're not infatuated with me. You're in love with me." Pagkatingin ko sa kanya, halatang nagulat siya sa sinabi ko.

"Sige na, punta ka na sa room ni Sean." Pagkunwari kong tawa, pero na-awkward na talaga ako. Tinutulak ko na siya papunta sa pinto nang bigla siyang humarap sa akin at hinawakan ang kamay ko. Napaurong na lang ako nang magsalita pa siya.

"There's also nothing wrong with what you said. It's all true anyway. I love you, in a romantic way wherein a man and woman falls deeply with each other, stays in love and face painful things together and still be husband and wife, have kids until death do we part." Sa sobrang ramdam ko ng tunay niyang nararamdaman para sa akin, napayuko na lang ako. 

Sobra na rin kasi ako namumula. Di ko akalain na parehas kami ng nararamdaman para sa isa't-isa.

"That's why, be ready okay? I'll make you mine." Napatingin ako sa kanya, pero nung pasalita na ako, dun naman na niya binuksan ang pinto.

"Good night, Angeli. Sleep well and have a nice dream." Ngiti niya pa sa akin at tuluyang umalis na.

Kung panaginip lang 'to lahat, okay na yung hindi ako magising.

Ramdam ko na abot hanggang tenga yung ngiti ko ngayon. Pero napaisip din ako, handa na nga ba ako magsugal sa relasyong walang kasiguraduhan, yung di ko alam kung magtatagal o hindi?

Yumiji's POV

Yes, I told her my feelings. I'm truly happy about it, but I didn't ask her feelings. Although I'm ready for whatever the outcome will be, I hope our feelings are the same. The person she likes and me have the same qualities as she have told me what he's like or maybe it's me? Okay, keep dreaming, Yumi.

I just sighed and walk towards Sean and I's room. He and Iyah will not be here, since they stayed in a hotel near here. I'll make Angeli's breakfast tomorrow and that would be a good thing to start courting her.

I started cooking breakfast for her and when she went out of the room, bathed, she's surprised. Pfftt, as expected coming from her.

"Let's eat, shall we?" I smiled at her and she awkwardly just nodded.
