Be With Him

“Bakit ba ang hilig mo’ng mag-paasa?” Inis na tanong ko

“H-ha? P-paasa?”Nanlalaki ang mga mata niya na para ba’ng gulat na gulat sa tanong ko.

“Una, yung nasa motor! Sunod ito? dude, ano ba! Naiinis na ako e’ May gusto ka ba sa akin? asa ako ng asa e’!” Sa sobrang inis ko napatayo na ako habang naka-turo sa kanya

“Umaasa ka?” He smirked. Tumayo din siya at hinawakan ang hintuturo ko, dahan dahang binaba Ito kasabay ng unti-unti niyang paglapit hanggang mapasandal na ako sa puno sa likod ko

“What are you doing?” Para ako’ng tinatakasan ng hininga dahil sa sobrang lapit ng mukha niya sa akin

“What if I like you?” I frozed.

He likes me? What the hell? P-pero wala pa kaming two weeks magka-kilala! Ang landi naman neto!

“T-t-totoo?”

He smiled and bit his lower lips trying hard to stop himself from laughing

“HAHA! Yow dude! Hindi ako napatol sa tropa!” He distance himself and sat down in the grass still laughing, shit! Strike three na!

“Alam mo yung salitang g*go?” Inis ko siyang sinipa ngunit para’ng wala lamang ‘yon sa kanya dahil tuloy pa’din siya sa pagtawa, huma-hataw-hataw pa at nakahawak pa sa tiyan.

Kung sikmuraan ko kaya ‘to?

“Hindi ka titigil?” Masama ko siyang tinignan bago padabog na umupo sa damuhan ” Kairita ha” bulong ko.

Pero…. bakit nga ba ako umaasa? May gusto ba ako sa mokong na ‘to? Nah, Imposible.

“Libre mo’ko” Utos ko sa kanya, bakit ba nagutom ako bigla?

“Nagutom ka sa kaka-asa sa’ken no?” He held his chin up, Proudly Assuming that I like him

Bakit hindi ‘ba?

Hindi ba? Hey What the fuck! Nag-dududa ako sa nararamdaman ko? Imposible HAHA patawa ka self?!

“Libre mo na ako!” Bumunot ako ng maliliit na damo at tinapon sa kanya “Madamot ka!” I pouted

“Pabebe!” He chuckled and offer his hand to me “Tara na!”

I was about to grab his hand pero binawi niya, What the fudge?

“Uy! ano ka sinuswerte?” He laughed and ran to his motor

“Sana madapa ka” Padabog ako’ng tumayo at tumakbo papunta sa kanya

Sa school kami dumiretso dahil sabi niya doon na niya lamang ako ililibre, Kapag usapang libre pakapalan ng mukha dapat, biyaya ‘yan e’

Pagka-pasok palang namin ay marami na ang masama ang tingin, mga tao’ng may ubo sa utak, psh!

“Why are they looking at me like that? did i do something wrong ‘ba?”He confusedly asked, did’nt he know sa akin lahat sila nakatingin

“Ba’ka nagseselos kase may kasama ka’ng dyosa”I kidded but his face screamed disgust, Ansama!

“Your confidence is too high, dude”he tsked and shake his head.

“WOW! date habang nasa Foundation day”napa-baling ako ng lingon sa kanan namin ng marinig ang boses ni Kino “Sneaky-Peaky, I like it!”

I rolled my eyes and raised my mid finger to him, I was about to talked back when my phone suddenly rang

Zhack’s calling….

“Ate! Please come home!” My forehead creased, What the eff is happening!?

“Zha?!”He ended the call

I ran towards the school gate, my heart is about to burst, I AM NERVOUS!Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Tumakbo ako papunta sa parking nang maalala ko na wala akong dalang motor, shoot!

“Hop in!” Tumigil sa tapat ko ang SUV ni Kino kaya dali dali akong sumakay, nasa loob na rin sila Steve kasama si Adam

“No matter what happened, Andito lang kami” Gelo said “We’re always here” he then tapped my shoulder

Nasa malayo palang kami ng makita ko si Zha na nasa labas ng bahay habang tulala’ng nakaupo.

“Thankyou” ngumiti muna ako kayla Kino bago bumababa

“Zha…” Mahinang tawag ko dahil nakita ko siyang naiyak “W-what happened?”

He looked at me with full of anger in his eyes, he look like he want to say something but he choose to shut up

Dali dali siyang tumakbo papunta sa loob kaya sinundan ko siya

“What the fuck is happening?!” I spat to our parents, umakyat si Zha sa kwarto niya.

“Ask your Mother, Izha not me” My father wiped his teary eyes

“What the fuck did you do now, Mom?!” I clenched my fist

“Don’t you dare talk to me like that! I am your Mother!”She shouted while pointing her fingers to me “You never know my pain, so shut up”

“Ate..” lumapit sa akin ang kakababa lang na si Zhack, hawak hawak ang duffel bag niya “.. is that true?”

“True? A-ang alin?!” I asked.

“… na..”he sniffed. he couldn’t talk properly “Shit haha, ka-lalaki kong tao iyakin ako” he cried.

I pressed my lips and hug him tightly

“We’re so sorry, Zha, but please understand that we need to hide it from you” he nod and hug me back and there’s she is just watching us, what a witch.

After a minute or two Zhackary decided to take a rest in his room

“I’m sorry, Anak…” Hinaplos ni Papa ang pisngi ko bago sumunod kay Mama

I sat on our couch planning to rest a bit when my phone beeped.

From: +63961*******

Hey, everything’s alrgiht?

-Adam

Napa-ayos ako ng upo at tumingin sa orasan namin, halos trenta minuto simula nang umuwi ako, mag a-alas-singko na pala ng hapon.

Replied to +63961*******

yeah, i wish, wer did u get my #?

Limang minuto ako’ng nag-antay sa reply niya kaso wala pa din kaya napag-desisyunan ko nalang na lumabas para makapagpahangin

“Hey!”

My eyes widened, Adam is in front of our house.

“What are you doing here?” Tuluyan akong lumabas

“A-ah I’m just worried” he bit his lower lips

“Kanina ka pa? dapat sinabi mo!” I tsked.

“My phone died, that’s why i couldn’t reply to you” Ah kaya pala walang reply

“Ah, bawal ka sa loob ‘e” I roam my eyes”Ay! Samahan mo nalang ako!”

“Where?” he asked

“Wala, ewan ko din” hindi ko naman alam kung saan pwede pumunta

“Ah wtf?! Tsk, come on, Let’s date” he winked at me

Lah?

“Kadiri ka, tanga” irap ko bago sumunod sa kanya.
