KRISTEN’S POV
Good morning Monday.
I know it has been quite a dramatic weekend yet I was able to find a reason to be happy.
Ikaw ba naman ang magising katabi ang taong mahal mo.
Mahal? Did I really say that? Haha. Yes I did. I do love him. I don’t know when it started but I’m sure of that.
*****Flashback
I opened my eyes, and see my room. Umuwi na nga pala kami ni Jung after naming magkasagutan ni Stan. Where is Jung by the way? Just then i realized I wasn’t resting my head on my pillow. Noong bata pa lang ako nung maranasan ko ‘to. This same feeling when I’m sleeping on my daddy’s chest. Chest? Daddy? Hindi ba bumalik na si Daddy sa Korea?
I looked up and was a bit astonished by this handsome face. He seemed to be so manly now, unlike the baby face I met months ago. He always have that darker complexion than me, pointed nose, perfect jaw line. He grew some hair on his upper lip but still looks neat. Do you want to know what makes his face perfect for me?
It’s his... lips. Yeah, his full lips. Those lips I’ve been dying to kiss.. Kiss? Did I just say that? Geez. What am I saying?
Well, honestly I’m wondering what first kiss feels like. You know Kai and i never made out. It’s really not our thing. That’s how petty our relationship was. All we do was playing with our Nintendo DS then training at WAVE.
I heard Zac moan, I can’t understand what he was saying so I leaned closer.
I felt his right arm wrapped around my waist, the next thing I know our faces were only an inch closer.
“I love you.” he whispered.
I looked at him. His eyes were still closed, he’s dreaming I guess. But were those 3 words for me?
He mumbled again. And this time, i heard it clearer.
“Yang.. I love you.”
That’s what he said. I felt my eyes watered.
I can’t believe what I just heard.
I always believe that the most honest words a person speaks were those spoken while he was drunk or asleep.
With all the happiness I feel, I pecked on his lips.
I’m so happy to share my first kiss with him.
*****End of Flashback
“Yang!”
I heard him calling my name. Geez! Ang lakas naman ng tibok ng puso ko.
“Grabe ang bilis mo naman maglakad, mabigat pa naman mga gamit mo.”
“Akin na nga, ako na lang ang magbubuhat.”
“Sige agawin mo, ikaw ang bubuhatin ko.”
I rolled my eyes. Shems! Kinikilig ako at nahihiya.
Although wala naman syang alam sa kalokohan na ginawa ko, nahihiya ako. Ako pa talaga ang naginitiate. Mabagal naman kasi sya, di ba guys.
“Tin naman oh, dahan dahan sabi sa paglalakad eh.”
Tiningnan ko lang sya like I always do kapag nagrereklamo sya and continued walking. Act normal Tin. baka mabisto ka.
Nagulat na lang ako nang bigla nya akong akbayan.
“What do you think you were doing?”
“Para hindi mo ako iwan, oh di ba effective? Haha.”
I used my right hand to remove his left hand from left shoulder.
His next move shocked me a bit.
He intertwined his left hand with my right.
“Holding hands pala ang gusto mo, hindi mo agad sinabi.” Zac.
Napatigil ako sa paglalakad, pakiramdam ko kasi milyong boltahe ng kuryente ang pumasok sa katawan ko.
I’m just staring at our hands.
“Don’t feel uncomfortable, dito din mauuwi yan.”
“What?!”
“Wala. Halika na, nagmamadali ka di ba?”
ZAC’s POV
Yahoo!!!!
Gusto kong tumalon sa tuwa.
Proud na proud ako sa sarili ko.
Saan ko nga ba nakuha ang lakas ng loob na hawakan ang kamay nya sa harap ng maraming tao? Sa harap ng lahat ng ng estudyante at mga teachers ng MVH.
Ewan ko ba, sobrang ganda ng panaginip ko na parang totoo.
I dreamt of us, Tin and I, sharing a light kiss. Sobrang light lang pero punung puno ng pagmamahal.
Shit! Ang baduy ng ng sinabi ko.
Eh sa yun ang napanaginipan ko eh, anong magagawa ko.
Nagbitaw lang kami ng kamay ng makapasok kami sa classroom.
“Bugoy!”
Medyo nagulat ako pero nasalo ko naman ang hinagis na basketball sa akin. Isa lang naman ang pwedeng gumawa ng pagbating ganito.
Lumapit sya sakin.
“Bugoy, kahit medyo nakabawas sa kagwapuhan ko yung pagsapak mo sakin, gusto ko pa din magsorry sa mga kalokohan ko. Pasensya na ha.” Stan.
Natawa ako nang makita ko yung pasang nagawa ko sa mukha nya nung sinapak ko sya sa bahay nila.
“Pasalamat ka pare yan lang inabot mo. Medyo puyat pa kasi ako nun eh, kulang sa bwelo. Haha,.”
“Gago ka pare, kapag hindi ako nakahanap ng baging date, babawian kita. Haha.”
Tinapik ko sya sa balikat.
“Welcome back bugoy.”
“Hug!” Eid.
“Kiss!” Dave.
“Mukha nyo!” ako at si Stan.
“Group hug!” Alex.
Para kaming mga bata na bumuo ng bilog at nagpaikot ikot.
Huminto si Stan nang mahagip ng paningin nya si Tin. She was still standing at the door way, staring at us. She was smiling that it gave Stan the courage to move close to her.
“I... i’... I’m... s..so..sorr..” Stan.
“You’re sorry?”
Tumango si bugoy and bowed his head.
“You know what Stanley, mas gwapo ka ngayon. Much better.”
Tumingin sa kanya si bugoy, she smiled sweetly to him.
“Sige na, yumakap ka na.”
Tin opened her arms. On a split second yumakap sa kanya ng mahigpit si bugoy.
Sh*t! Ano ba ‘tong nararamdaman ko?
Bakit parang sumakit yung dibdib ko nang magyakap sila?
Parang may kutsilyong tumarak sa dibdib ko.
