"BACK TO ONE"
Keila's POV
It's been over a week since our date. Ang date na hinding-hindi ko makakalimutan. Parang cycle lang. Umiikot lang ang nangyayari. Minsan nga habang nagtatrabaho ako ay hindi ko namamalayang nakangiti na pala ako. Masisita lang ako ng mga co-workers ko at aasarin. Tulad ngayon.
"Masaya na naman ang dalagitang ito oh.", sabi ni ate Shella. Co-worker ko, 7 years older than I am.
"In love na talaga iyan. Nangingiti mag-isa oh. Ayaw naman kasi magpakwento kung ano ang nangyayari sa lablayp nya.", parinig kuno ng isa ko pang co-worker na si Galey, 5 years older than I am. Ako yata ang bunso sa section namin.
"Kayo naman, ang dami niyong comment sa akin ha. Lagi na lang.", angal ko sa kanila.
"Eh kasi yung itsura mo, super odd. Like ano na ba status niyo?", tanong sakin ng isang itinuturing kong kuya dito sa trabaho ko, si kuya Ryan.
"Wala. Don't mind me.", honestly.... sige magkekwento nalang ako.
FLASHBACK
Iginala ko ang tingin ko. There are fireflies everywhere which made the atmosphere romantic. Matamang nakatingin si Kean sa akin. Tila nalulunod naman ako sa tingin niya at di ko magawang umiwas.
"Keila, months have passed since nang makilala kita. And I somehow feel this strange connection na mukhang meron tayo. Hindi ko alam kung ano but I am so sure that I've fallen in love with you the moment I saw you. Please, be my girlfriend."
I was totally caught off guard by the question. I didn't get to fully understand the question. Nanatili siyang nakaluhod habang unti-unting namumula at parang kinakabahan sa magiging sagot ko. Nanatili lang akong nakatingin ng blangko sa kaniya. Oh my God. Handa na ba ako? Tama ba 'tong gagawin ko?
"Ano..", anticipation was visibly written on his face. "Pwedeng manligaw ka muna?", mejo natigilan naman siya at napakurap. Ang cute nya. Napatawa naman siya.
"Uhm... I don't really know how to do that but i'll do my best.", then he smiled at me widely. He opened his arms wide open and the next thing you know, I was already engulfed in his arms... where I felt safe the most.
END OF FLASHBACK
So yeah! Nanliligaw siya sa akin for a week now and I can totally see how much he treasures me, how much he likes me, how much he really wants me to be his. But I also see how much he tries to be patient with me. He always sends flowers and chocolates to me, sa bahay. Lagi nga rin akong inaasar sa bahay. My brother is fine with it. He seems to be getting along with him. He never held grudge against him. Just that, he is still worried about Kean's parents who we never know when they could just barge in our house.
"Haynako girl, ba't kasi may ligawan process pa? Umo-o ka nalang sana agad at naging girlfriend niya.", tanong ng isang co-worker ko na si Nadine.
"May kailangan akong siguraduhin eh. Don't worry, we never know, baka mapaaga ang sagot ko diba? I won't make him suffer. I just want to know something.", with that, all of them just nodded and went back to their work. I, too, did the same thing. Lagi akong napapatingin sa cellphone ko because my lockscreen is too adorable. Yung mag-ama pa rin ang nasa lockscreen. Feeling ko naman, asawa ko si Kean. It's a good thing that he doesn't try to check my phone. I always have my phone hidden whenever I'm with him. Mahirap ng makita niya iyon. Di pa ako handang magsabi sa kaniya.
