The Only Hope for Me is You

Chapter 55 : Cause and Effect

Natuwa naman ako dahil saktong thriller, sci-fi at horror ang genre ng mga movies na iyon.

Kahit kita naman sa kanya na hindi siya kumportable sa mga genre na pinili ko, pero dahil daw nasa condo naman siya at kasama niya akong manonood, susubukan daw niya manood na may kasamang unan, pantakip daw niya sa mukha.

Eh bakit pa siya manonood kung magtatakip lang siya ng mukha, tch!

Parang bata talaga eh.

She's already eighteen, pero hindi pa rin daw siya maka-move on minsan kapag nanonood siya ng horror.

I can say that we had fun watching the films, kahit na ilang beses siyang nagugulat o napapamura sa mga jump scares sa movie.

But then to be honest, what I enjoy watching the most, is seeing her frightened face.

My woman is so adorable.

After finishing those three movies, she told me that for some reason she couldn't explain, watching horror and thriller excites her and she selects two more.

Pinili niyang panoorin namin ang Final Destination at The Butterfly Effect.

Is it even a coincidence that those two different movies talk about how you react towards a given situation to you?

'That in every action, there's a reaction and for every cause, there's an effect.'

For some reason I enjoyed the movie, it's cool. Specially, The Butterfly Effect.

Matapos namin mapanood yung movies na iyon, nagbago na naman ang mood ni Maxene.

I tried reading her thoughts, yet for some reason I have a feeling that she's keeping me at bay.

It's making me uneasy.

I shake that thought out from my head and convince myself that I'm just being paranoid for nothing.

Hormonal naman ang mga babae. That's understandable.

After that weekend, balik ulit kami sa weekday routine namin.

Nilutuan niya ako ulit ng pagkain na ipinadala niya kay Natasha.

I kept all of her notes and served them as my inspiration everyday to do better.

I just don't want to disappoint her.

Like the usual, I attended my classes. Sometimes she has her work; she's doing her usual shoots and some commercials.

Minsan nga nabili ako ng magazine para lang makita yung pagmumukha ng fiance ko.

Kahit na ang dami niyang picture sa phone ko.

Inaabangan ko rin na lumabas yung commercial niya sa TV dahil hindi naman niya sa akin sinasabi kung tapos na o hindi, pero natapos na raw nilang ishoot iyon.

She updates me from time to time, yet most of the time she forgets to keep me posted unless I text her first.

Minsan nga kapag maagang natapos ang klase ko, dinadalaw ko siya sa condo niya, yun lang hindi ko matiyempuhang gising siya.

Hindi rin naman ako nagtagal dahil alam kong kailangan niya ng pahinga. Sadyang gusto ko lang talaga siya makita.

Anyway, malapit na naman ulit ang weekends kaya, babawi na lang ako ulit kapag nagkita kami.

Tumambay kami ng mga kabanda ko sa may parking lot habang kunwaring nagbabasa ako ng notes.

May isang oras kaming bakante pagkatapos ng lunch namin.
