Ika- Dalawampu- Sorry
1303 Words
“Sya yun diba? Hindi na ko mag tataka. Maganda talaga, no wonder Silas is crazy over her.”
“G*go! Hindi ako makapaniwala na dadating ang araw na makikita ko mag seryosos si Silas!”
“Isang Carmichael lang pala ang katapat!”
“Kahit naman siguro ako kung ganyan kaganda at hot ang magiging girlfriend, magtitino na rin.” Natatawang dagdag ng isa.
Naiiling na binilisan ko ang lakad. Walang araw na hindi ako makakarinig ng komento mula sa mga kakilala nya o sa ibang students na mukhang updated sa ganap sa buhay ni Silas.
“Love..” Muntik na akong mapasigaw sa gulat ng biglang lumitaw sa harap ko si Silas.
Hawak ang dibdib, inirapan ko sya.
“Ano ba! Bakit ka nang gugulat!”
“You’re just too preoccupied with whatever is running inside that pretty head of yours.” Nakangisi nyang sabi.
I rolled my eyes and started to walk again, pinag titinginan na naman kami.
“Love-“
“Shhh.” Saway ko sabay tigil sa lakad at harap sakanya. “Why do you call me a lot of endearments? Love, Princess, Agape Mou? Yung totoo nalilito ka na ba sa mga babae mo at nagkakamali ka ng tawag kaya na mimix up mo?” Nakataas kilay kong tanong. Siguro dahil sa dami ng babae nya ay nakakalimutan nya ang pangalan kaya safe na gumamit ng endearment para di sya magkamali sa pag tawag.
Humalakhak ito na ikina kunot ng noo ko.
“Don’t tell me you’re jealous?”
My jaw almost dropped to the floor.
Kapal! Ano, may gusto ba ako sakanya para magselos ako??
“Asa ka!” Irap ko sabay talikod at nagpatuloy sa paglakad. Pano nalang pag sumama ako sa San Vicente sakanya? Baka wala syang gawin kundi bwisitin ako?? Bakit ba kasi ang bilis pumayag nila GrandMa?! No one even asked me if I wanted to?? Ano bang pinakain ng lalaking ito sa pamilya ko at para bang boto ang lahat sakanya.
Even Kuya Evans is in favor of him!
“Oh..what I’d do, just to see your jealous face.” He whispered.
I stopped walking when he grabbed my wrist and pulled me close to him.
“Just to set the record straight, I never had any pet names or endearment to other girls, not my flings from my past or from my f*ck buddies-“
“What the! Silas! That’s TMI! Ano ba?? Do you think I’m interested with your sexcapades?!” Gigil kong bulong sabay tingin sa paligid para tingnan kung may nakarinig ba.
Tinaas nya ang kamay at umiling.
“I’m just trying to say that I don’t have any-“
“Why do you even have to mention about your f* buddies?! Ano proud ka?? Ano gusto mong palabasin-“
“Woah, Agape Mou, I’m not trying to fight with you. I’m just answering your-“
“Whatever!” Putol ko sa sasabihin nya. At mabilis na lumakad palayo sakanya.
“Class dismissed.”
“Woahh! Finally!”
Napahawak ako sa batok at yuko. Our lesson for today took my strength away, medyo sumakit din ang ulo ko.
“Omg!”
“Gosh!”
“Ang unfair, ang pogi talaga!”
Napabuntong hininga ako at dahan dahan nag umpisa mag ligpit ng gamit without minding the commotion outside our classroom. I just want to go home and rest. Di ko classmate si Jianna and Azalea sa subject na ito, kaya kailangan ko pang daanan si Azalea sa classroom nila ni Jianna para mag sabay kami umuwi.
Nang maligpit ko na ang gamit ko at napansin ang tingin ng mga classmates ko. Nakangisi si Sabrina habang nag pipigil ng ngiti si Marga. I tilted my head and just ignored them, nag lakad ako palabas sa classroom at kita ko ang irap ng mga kaibigan ni Chelsea habang si Chelsea ay mukhang iiyak.
What did I do?
Nilagpasan ko sila at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad pero napako ako sa kinatatayuan ko ng makita ang nag hihintay saakin.
I sucked my breath as I watched Silas walk towards me. He looks divine as usual, but him holding a bouquet is a sight to behold.
Nang malapit na sya saakin ay huminto sya.
Serious looking Silas is another level. He looks really hot, I must admit that.
Tinapat nya saakin ang bouquet, those pastel colored roses looks so aesthetic, it looks so lovely that it took my breath away .
“I’m sorry.” He said, his eyes full of sincerity, so how can I not accept the flowers. “Please don’t be upset with me anymore..”
I bit my lower lip, and looked down at the bouquet, his peace offering.
“Please forgive me Love.” His voice sounded so sweet that it almost melt my heart.
I heard someone gasped. Meron ding para bang nasamid.
“Silas, we are making a scene here.” Bulong ko, ramdam ko ang init ng pisingi ko.
“I know, but I don't care, what I care for is what you are feeling..” he combed his hair using his fingers. “Are you still upset with me?” He asked in a sad voice.
I pursed my lips, and his eyes traveled from my eyes to my lips and it settled to the latter.
“Silas..” tawag ko sakanya. Kumirap sya na para bang nagising sya mula sa sariling mundo.
What is he thinking?
From my lips, his eyes looked back to mine.
He reached for the strands of my hair that’s already blocking my vision. He tucked it behind my ears.
“Please forgive me..hmnnn?” Malambing ang boses nyang sabi na para bang inaakit ako.
Napapikit ako sabay buntong hininga.
“Okay..” nanghihinang bulong ko.
He exhaled harshly na para bang nabunutan ng tinik sa dibdib. When I opened my eyes, I saw how he slowly smiled.
He reached for my hand this time, and kissed the back of my palm while looking straight to my eyes.
“Thank you.” He said. “I promise to do my best not to upset you in the future. Looking at you walking away from me while mad..” he shook his head and closed his eyes as if he was reminiscing about what happened. “It was the worst sight ever.”
“Oh my gosh why so sweet Silas?!” Someone said but we chose to ignore.
My heart feels warm. I never thought that the day would come that I would ever see him like this, the mighty Silas that we all know..just bended to me..
Konti nalang maniniwala na talaga akong totoo na may gusto sya saakin.
That he is really serious on me. That maybe, pushed him to change and finally made him pursue someone for the first time.
Is this the first time that he will be serious?
I sighed. I am not really sure if it is time to put down the walls that I built between us and give him the chance that he is asking. But then, somehow I am afraid. What if, he is just doing this because for the first time someone said No to him? Paano kung na cha-challenge lang pala sya? At pag bumigay ako ay magsawa din sya sa huli?
That would be a problem right? Because surely my cousins won’t like it, and his relationships with Kuya Yvo will be affected.
“Let’s go, I’ll drive you home.” He said softly and all I can do is to nod at him.
Gosh, if he is always like this…baka mabilis nyang matibag ang pader na binuo kong proteksyon laban sakanya.
I bit my lips.
No Cassiopeia..this is not the right time yet, wag ka muna bumigay. You must make sure that he is really sincere…
