Hindi na muling bumalik si Hetius sa restaurant pagkatapos nitong mag walk out, umalis na din si akiesha dahil may pupuntahan pa daw sya.
"Thanks for today" sabi ko kay Rigel habang naglalakad kami papauntang parking lot.
"Anything for you" sabi nito
Nang makadating kami sa kotse nya ay nanatili kaming nakatayo.
"I'm not joking..."
Napakunot ang nook o dahil sa sinabi nya.
"...when I say that if youre giving me a chance to court you, I will" pagpapatuloy nito
Rigel is only a bestfriend to me and nothing more. It's hard for me because he's confessing to me while me on the other side love someone else.
"I'm sorry" malungkot na sabi ko. "I know you'll reject me. You love someone else.." nakangiting sabi nito. Even when he smile at me I know its fake.
"You love that doctor, right?" tanong nito.
Napa-anngat ako ng tingin nang sabihin nya iyon, kahit hindi nya sabihin ay alam ko kung sino ang tinutukoy nya.
"He's doctor afterall, ano ba ang magagawa ng businessman sa sakit mo." Mapaklang sabi nito
"No, don't say that, we can be friends, right?" tanong ko dito
"Of course. I'm always be your bestfriend" sabi nito
Matapos ang pag-uusap na iyon ay nagpaalam sya na pupunta muna sya sa cr. Nakaupo lang ako sa unahan ng sasakyan nya habang naghihintay kay Rigel nang biglang may nagsalita sa likod ko.
"I'm glad you rejected him" seryosong sabi ni Hetius
"I thought you-"
"Do you think na iiwan kitang mag-isa sa lalaking iyon" pagpuputol nito sa dapat na sasabihin ko.
Napahinga muna ako ng malalim vafo magsalita.
"What is it to you if I go alone with Rigel, he's ,my bestfriend afterall." Sabi ko dito.
Nakatingin lang ito ng diretso saakin.
"Do you know that you're confusing me... sometimes your cold to me and now you're concerned. What is the reason why you gave me a hickey huh? What do you mean when you say that I'm yours. What am I to you?" I gave all my strength to say that words to him.
Umiinit na ang gilid nang aking mata pero oinigilan kong tumulo ang mga luha.
"Don't say that I'm just a patient to you because the doctor should nto give his patient a hickey, but you gave me one, right?" mapanuyang tanong ko.
"I f you're not going to say anything, then i am the one who will say something to you."
Nanghihina ako sa paraan nang pagtingin nito saakin.
"I like you, Hetius...no I love you Hetius. I don't know when this start but I know that I love you, my heart beat faster when you're near and you make me weak, Hetius. That's the reason why I rejected Rigel. So if this some kind of joke to you stop it, my heat can't take it." Binulong ko nalang ang guling sinabi ko.
"Then I'll help you mend your heart, give me a chance to mend your heart. I'll take care of it." Napatingin ako sakanya nang sabihin nya iyon.
"What do you mean?" tanong ko dito
HUmakbang ito papalapit saakin hanggang sa ilang inch nalang ang pagitan namin. HInawakan nito ang baba ko at inangat para mapatingin sakanya. I met his brown eyes.
"I'm glad you rejected him because you're only mine..mine only. Understand, baby?" malambing na sabi nito.
Tinulak ko sya para magkalayo kami.
"Are you joking? Make it more clear?" tanong ko dito, kung hindi ko lang sya tinulak baka nahalikan nya na ako, pero sorry sya hindi ako marupok.
Luampit ito saakin at agad akong siniil ng halik. His soft lips is kissing me, I felt his lips moving in my lips. Nang dumiin ang mga halik nya ay tinugon ko naman agad. I felt his tongue trying to enter my mouth, he bit my lower lips, napasinghap ako dahilan kung bakit nakapasok ako dila nya sa bibig ko.
He's tongue is fighting with mine, and it feels so good.
We are catching our breathe after that kissed, nakayuko lang ako sakanya.
"Is it not clear to you? I love you, Heart, and I'm willing to mend your heart so five me a chance, please baby?" gulat akong tumingin sakanya pagkatapos nyang sabihin iyon.
Uminit ang sulok ng aking mga mata, is it true?
"Are you pranking me?" tanong ko dito."No, I'm not, I really like you, the moment I saw you I know you're different from all the firl I dated before, I'm denial at first but when I started tp get jealous I know that time that I'm really falling for you" sabi nito habang hinihimas ang pisngi ko.
"I love you,Heart" malambing na bulong nito
Napatulala ako sakanya. Am I dreaming? Hallucinating?
"Say something, baby, kanina ang tapang mong magsalita. Where's your tongue now?' mapanuyang tanong nito
Tinampal ko ang braso nya. "I...love you too, Hetius" mahinang bulong ko.
"Mend my heart, doc" i whispered to him
"My pleasure" bulong din nito
I saw him smiled at me. Binaba nito ang mukha nito hanggang sa ilang inch nalang ang pagitan naming nang biglang may tumikhim kaya natulak ko sya.
"Sorry for interumpting but it's getting late baka hinahanap na sya nit Tita" seryosong sabai ni Rigel.
Nang-init ang mukha ko dahil nakita kami ni Rigel na muntik nang maghalikan. Napakarupok mo talaga Heart.
"I'm going to drive her at their house." Seryosong sabi ni Hetius.
"Are you ok with it?" baling saakin ni Rigel.
Pareho silang naghihintay nang sagot ko.
"Yeah, thank you for today, Rigel" sabi ko sabay yakap sakanya.
"You know I'm jealous, right?' sabi ni Hetius.
Andito na kami sa tapat nang bahay pero hindi pa din ako bumababa.
"He's my friend." Sabi ko dito
"I know but I can't help it." Sabi naman nito
I rolled my eyed. I quickly kissed him on his lips.
"I love you" bulong ko
I saw him bit his lips suppressing his smile.
"I love you too, baby, always remember that" tumango-tango naman ako.
He gave me a deep kissed and i quicly responded. BUamaba na ako sa kotse nya. Habang papasok ako ng bahay ay hindi mawala ang ngiti sa labi ko.
Hetius loves me!
