I'D BE A FOOL NOT TO LOVE

CHAPTER 7-PIGGYBACK

Alessia Rae De Villa

Nagising ako ng nasikatan ng araw ang aking balat... Fenix was lying on my shoulder.

He look so handsome.

"Don't stare at me... I might melt". Nagulat ako sa biglang pagsasalita nito kaya naman napaatras ako.

"I'm not staring at you". I denied.

"Cute". Sabi nito saka tumitig sa akin.

"What?". Tanong ko dito.

"You're cute even if you're lying". This is driving me crazy.

"Let's go". Sabi nito saka umupo sa aking harapan.

"Where". I asked and ride on his back.

"We should head back... I don't think I can marry you now". What is he saying...is he joking? or is he serious?

Lumipas ang ilang minuto at nakarating na kami sa campsite.

"What happened?". Bungad ng aming guro.

"She got injured". Maikling sagot ni Fenix.

"Where? Is it bad?".Alalang tanong ng aming guro.

"We don't know, but ma'am where is the clinic?". Fenix ask.

"Yes, it's that way... should I go with you?". Tanong nito.

"No it's okay". Fenix insisted.

We excuse ourselves and go to the clinic.

I sit on the chair and got check by the doctor while Fenix is waiting outside.

"Who is that?". Tanong ng doktor.

"He's just a friend of mine". I answer... I don't know why but the doctor laugh at me so i asked her.

"Why are you laughing?".I asked.

"Because I think he likes you". Agad naman akong napatingin sa labas ng bintana, nagkasalubong ang aming mga mata ng mga oras na iyon ay bumilis ang pagpintig ng aking puso... parang huminto ang pagikot ng mundo.

"Miss...". Nahimasmasan ako ng tawagin ako ng doktor... agad akong nagiwas ng tingin kay Fenix at ibinaling ang aking atensyon sa doktor.

"You have to take this medicine, don't forget to take it after meal 3 times a day... hangang sa mawala yang masakit mong nararamdaman". Hala hugot ba yon?

"Yes ma'am I will go now". Pagpapaalam ko.

"Okay, pero payong doktor lang alam mo kung ako sayo jojowain ko na yan". Marunong pa si ma'am sa may katawan eh, darting din tayo dyan magintay ka lang?

Pagkalabas ko ng pinto ay agad akong inalalayan ni Fenix.

"How do you feel?". Tanong nito...I'm about to answer his question but he suddenly sit on the ground.

"What are you doing? Let's go." Sabi nito... this man it's really making me want to hold onto him more.

I get on his back and he walk...I'm really lucky I have him.

"We are here". Sabi nito saka dahan-dahan akong ibinaba sa kanyang likod.

"Thank you". Sabi ko.

"I'll get going now". Pagpapaalam ko.

"Yes, good bye". Sabi nito saka kumaway habang naglalakad papaalis.

Lumipas ang ilang oras at namalayan ko na dumating si Paula... naglululukso ito na parang baliw.

"Me and Mark are going to marry~~~". Sabi nito saka tumalon sa kama at nahiga sa tabi ko.

"But what happened to you?". Takang tanong nito.

"Just got injured". I answered and took a deep breath.

FEW MINUTES LATER

The fake wedding started the wedding is fake but Paula's love for Mark is true... I'm thinking if Mark like her too.

"Sayang tayo sana yung nandon eh". Nagulat ako ng makinig ko ang boses na iyon... what is? is he hitting on me?

"We are just a friend". Pakipot muna ako baka naman sabihin nito easy to get ako, kahit pa sya yung man in my dream at matagal kong hinintay kailangan parin ito, pakipot muna para may thrill?

Napakamot naman ito sa ulo dahil sa sinabi ko.

"Di naman ito mabiro, ng real talk pa". Sabi nito sabay kamot sa ulo.

Pwede mo naman ako ligawan ikaw lang iniintay ko eh gago, manhid ata ito.

Natapos ang programs and games ng wala akong nagawa kundi ang makipag-usap kay Fenix...but anyway it's fun because being with him and talking to him makes me feel good and I love it.
