Sela's POV
Naalala ko yung sinabi ng manghuhula na hahalikan ko si Mr. The One. At imposibleng si Abby kasi never in my wildest dreams kong maiisip na halikan siya.
Sobrang weird naman ata nun. Besides, gusto siya ng Kuya ko. Sa mga sumunod na mga araw para namang nag-eenjoy si Abby na kasama si Kuya. Kasama ko naman ngayon lagi si Sage. Masaya naman siyang kasama pero ibang iba parin sa presence at sayang nabibigay ni Abby.
Oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Why you gotta hug me like that every time you see me?
Why you always making me laugh
Swear you're catching feelings
I loved you from the start
So it breaks my heart
When you say I'm just a friend to you
Cause friends don't do the things we do
Ano bang problema ha Sela? Pumayag ka naman diba? At saka Kuya Miguel promised na hindi niya sasaktan si Abby. He's not gonna hurt your best friend.
I've never seen Abby so happy like this before. Every time they go out on a date ni Kuya hindi nalang ako sumasama. At sa mga panahong hindi ako sumasama, kasama ko naman si Sage. He's a really nice guy.
Marami kaming napapagkasunduan. Cliché pero naisip ko na siguro eto naman talaga ang totoong kailangan ko. Security. Hindi kami nag-aaway kasi parang kilalang kilala niya na ako, unlike samin ni Abby na kahit maliliit na bagay pinag-aawayan. Pero after naman nun nagkakaayos din kami agad.
I can't help myself from fixing and stroking her hair every chance I get to be with her. Madalas kasi si Kuya na yung kasama niya.
Ngayon ang game nina Kuya. Grabe, sobrang support talaga si Abby.
"Go Miguel! Go go go!." Cheer niya pa. Parang mas malakas pa ata ang boses niya sa iba pang nagchecheer for Kuya.
Yan din ang napapansin ko. Hindi niya na tinatawag na Kuya si Kuya. Should I be worried?.
Everybody knows you love me too
Tryna be careful with the words I use
I say it cause I'm dying to
I'm so much more than just a friend to you
Friday.
Tonight's the night na matutulog si Abby samin. Nasa sala kaming tatlo ngayon habang nanonood ng movie. Eh parang hindi naman sila nanonood. Nag-uusap lang sila sabay tawa pa. Ako yan dati eh. Ako yung dating nagpapatawa kay Abby ng ganyan.
Nagseselos? Ako? Hindi ah. Hindi talaga. Well, slight lang. AS A FRIEND.
Mmm, mmm, mmm
When there's other people around
You never wanna kiss me
You tell me it's too late to hang out
And you say you miss me
And I loved you from the start
So it breaks my heart
When you say I'm just a friend to you
Cause friends don't do the things we do
Everybody knows you love me too
Tryna be careful with the words I use
I say it cause I'm dying to
I'm so much more than just a friend to you
You-oh-oh-oh-oh
You-oh-oh-oh-oh
You-oh-oh-oh-oh
You-oh-oh-oh-oh
You say I'm just a friend to you
Friends don't do the things we do
Everybody knows you love me too
I tried to be careful with the words I use
I say it cause I'm dying to
I'm so much more than just a friend to you
A friend to you
A friend to you
A friend to you
Pumasok na kami ni Abby sa room ko pagkatapos naming magtoothbrush. Nagsusuklay na ngayon ng buhok si Abby. Nakatingin lang ako sa kanya.
"Mars--" sabi ko.
"Ano yun Mars?." Sabi niya.
"D-do you--wag na nga lang." Napatigil siya sa pagsusuklay at tumabi na sakin sa kama. Nakaupo lang kami.
"Tingnan mo to. Sige na, sabihin mo na." She held my hand.
"Eh kasi--" Ba't ba di ko agad masabi?. Haaays.
"Mars, ako lang to. Sige na." Biro niya.
"D-do you like my brother?."
"Oo naman."
"I mean--do you like like him?."
Bigla siyang napaisip.
"Like I have a crush on him?."
"O-oo. P-parang ganun--"
"Hmm. Sino ba namang hindi Mars?." She smiled na parang kinikilig pa.
Ano to? Ba't may kirot? Confirmed nga. Their feeling's mutual.
"Pero okay lang naman sayo yun Mars diba?. Sya nga pala, kayo ni Sage? Kamusta na?."
"Well, okay naman siya. Magkasundong magkasundo kami sa maraming bagay."
"Good to hear that. See? Naghahanap ka pa kasi ng unique love story eh. Alam mo kasi mars, love doesn't work that way. I mean love--nangyayari lang yun without warning. Gaya ng lindol na biglang dumadating. Gaya ng kidlat na bigla ka nalang tatamaan. It's not how the story goes, it's how you make the relationship work. And I think that's something you should be proud of. Don't tell them how you met, tell them the story of how you end up together despite of the imperfections." Nakatitig lang kami sa isa't isa.
This feeling. This particular feeling. I swear I felt it somewhere. I don't know when,why or what actually is this feeling but it's giving me the urge to kiss her. Those lips tho. They seemed to be already felt and tasted by mine.
"Goodnight Marsela." Sabi nya lang as she kissed my forehead at humiga na. Ano yun Abby? Ano to? What's going on?. Ano tong nangyayari sakin?.
KINABUKASAN
Maaga kaming naligo ni Abby at kumain na ng breakfast.
"Si Mommy?." Tanong ko kay Kuya.
"Ayun, maagang pumasok sa trabaho."
"Ikaw nagluto nito Mars?." Tanong ni Abby sakin.
"Oo Mars. Bakit? Hindi ba masarap?."
"Mars, marry me please--" biro niya.
"Grabe Mars, sobrang sarap."
"Omelette lang yan. I can do better than that. Ay sya nga pala Sela, si Sage papunta na dito." Sabi naman ni Kuya. Napatingin naman si Abby sakin. Hindi ko mabasa ang expression ng mukha niya.
"Ah oo. Ako daw kasi kukunin niyang subject for your project in contemporary arts."
"Ah yung painting. Buti nalang tapos nako dun. Thanks to Abby." Pagpapacute pa ni Kuya. I just rolled my eyes.
"Talaga? Ang saya naman." I sarcastically said.
"Masaya talaga kasi wala ka haha." Sabi pa ni Kuya.
"Whatever."
Ding dong.
"Baka siya na yan. Sela, pagbuksan mo na--"
Kaya tumayo nako.
