Chapter 5

"H-huh?"

Nginitian ako ni Sebastian before he stood up and held my hands, "Kung papayagan mo lang ako. No pressure."

After that, hinatid na ako ni Seb sa bahay ko. Mabuti nalang at wala si dad kundi, pinaulanan na niya wko ng mga tanong kung bakit maaga ako umuwi. I went inside my room and went inside the washroom to take a shower.

I stayed inside the shower for 5 minutes, before I went out. I wore my bathrobe before I went outside. Naupo ako sa kama ko while I'm drying my hair. I reached for my phone and opened it. May message pala si Seb sa akin.

From: Sebastian

Alam kong Lyric Chelsy ang pangalan mo, pero yung utak ko pilit na sinasabi na asawa ko.

Humagikgik ako pagkabasa ko ng message niya. Yup, pinayagan ko siyang ligawan ako. Ligaw lang naman kasi.

To : Sebastian

Ikain mo nalang iyan :")

From: Sebastian

Pwedeng ikaw nalang kainin ko?

Nag salubong ang kilay ko habang nag titipa ng mensahe. Ganon ah?

To: Sebastian

You're so horny. If you want, just masterbate. Asshole 🖕

Inis kong tinapon ang phone ko sa kama ko, before I stood up and walked towards my closet. I wore my white night dress, before I went backed to my bed. I was busy scrolling down when I heard a strumming sound of guitar outside. Iniwan ko ang phone ko sa kama ko, at binuksan ang sliding door ng terrace ko.

My mouth formed 'o' when I saw Seb strumming his guitar while looking up at my terrace. May kasama siyang dalawang lalaki who was snapping their fingers and swaying side to side. The three of them are wearing cream barong together with a black slacks and a straw hat.

Ilang awit pa ba ang aawitin, o giliw ko?

Ilang ulit ba ang uulitin, o giliw ko?

Tatlong oras na akong nag papa-cute sayo

Di mo man lang napapansin ang bagong t-shirt ko.

I smiled at sinandal ko ang mga kamay ko sa railings nitong terrace ko, while I'm watching Seb serenading me. Who would have thought that this guy infront of me, is serenading me. Ang isang Monteferrante, nag haharana?

Gagawin ko ang lahat pati ang thesis mo

Huwag mo lang ipagkait ang hinahanap ko

Sagutin mo lang ako aking sinta'y walang humpay na ligaya

At aasahan iibigin ka

Sa tanghali, sa gabi at umaga

Huwag ka sanang mag tanong at mag duda

Dahil ang puso ko'y walang pangamba

Lahat tayo'y nabubuhay ng tahimik at buo..........ligaya

He stopped strumming kaya napakunot ang noo ko. Seb gave his guitar to one of the boys, before removing his straw hat at nilagay iyon sa dibdib niya, bago yumuko. When his gaze went up, I saw him smiling at me, kaya napangiti rin ako.

"Oh aking binibini

Ikaw ay sobrang marikit

Na may ngiti sa kaniyang labi

Na umaabot hanggang langit.

Hayaan mo sana na ipadama ko sayo

Ang nararamdaman ng puso ko

Dahil ikaw lang ang nagpapatibok ng puso ko

Ikaw lang, at wala ng iba giliw ko."

Napangiti ako and bit my lower lip. Gosh, I didn't know that iba pala ang pakiramadam kapag ikaw na ang sinasabihan ng ganito. It feels like, my heart was about to get out of my ribcage.

The night, I slep late because I don't know how to sleep. Parang nakalimutan ata mg katawan ko na matulog dahil sa nararamdaman ko. My heart is still beating so fast, and I can feel my cheeks burning.

"Chelsy! Natulog ka ba? Mukha kang walking panda!" Carla said when she saw me.

I sighed before seating on the chair, and putting my bag on the desk. Nangalumbaba ako at tumitig sa board dito sa room namin. Carla and I are on the same block ngayong subject.

"Shut up, I slept of course," I answered and then slowly bumagsak ang ulo ko sa desk.

"Tsk, natulog daw," rinig kong sabi ni Carla.

Umayos lang ako ng upo, when Carla tapoed my shoulders. Tinignan ko ang harap and I saw our prof. He's fixing his laptop and he didn't saw me, nakdukdok sa desk.

Hours came and it's already our breaktime. Nagkita-kita kaming magkakaibigan sa taoat ng main building. Gertrude is already there, sipping on her milktea. Tumakbo ako papunta sa kaniya, and stealed her milktea before sipping it.

"Chelsy! Kung gusto, bibilhan naman kita eh. Kahit buong store bilhin ko sayo eh," reklamo ni Gerturde when I handed her back the milktea.

Napangiwi siya, "I'm LC," she handed me her milktea, "Sayo na."

Habang hinihintay namin si Carla dumating, nagkuwentuhan lang kami ni Gertrude. I even tild her that Sebastian is now my suitor.

"What the fuck?! Ulitin mo nga! Nabingi ata ako!" She demanded and I rolled my eyes.

"Sebastian Monteferrante. The one you called, Mr. Medicine, is now my suitor," I repeated and Gertrude stood up at nag tatataloj na pumapalakpak sa ere. A lot of people are already staring at her, kaya hinatak ko na siya paupo.

"That guy, is hot. Anong ginawa mo?" She asked and looked at me while she's smirking.

I shrugged, "I don't know. It's so sudden,"

We stopped talking when a guy stopped infront of us. Pinasadahan ko siya ng tingin mula ulo hanggang pa, and he's a med student. I furrowed my eyebrows when he handed me a white rose.

"Uh, thanks?" Unsure kong sabi before he went away.

Mag sasalita pa sana si Gertrude, when another med student stopped infront of me, and handed me another white rose. I accept it and he already went away. After that, another med student stopped infront of me, and handed me another white rose. This time I looked at the guy.

"Tell him if he wants to give me something, siya mismo mag bigay," I said but the guy just went away.

Gertrude slapped my arm kaya napatingin ako sa kaniya, "Anong---" hindi natuloy ang sinasabi niya when another guy stopped infront of me and handed me an old envelope. Taka ko iyon kinuha at binuksan.

Mahal kong Lyric Chelsy,

Tatlong puting rosas, nag sisimbolo kung gaano kalinis ang intensyon ko sa panliligaw sayo.

Ikaw ang Lyric ng buhay ko at ako ang buong kanta. Dahil kung wala ka, wala rin ako.

Nagmamahal,

Iyong ginoo, Sebastian

"KYAAAAAAAAAAA!"

"Hey, anong nangyayari?"

Sabay kaming napatingin ni Gertrude sa bagong dating na si Carla. She have this questioning look while she was looking at us.

"Anong nangyayari, at nag wawala diyan yung Santa?" Carla asked, pertaining to Gertrude.

Ambang hahablutin ni Gertrude ang buhok ni Carla, nang pigilan ko na silang dalawa, "Sebastian is now nanliligaw to me."

Nanlalaki ang mata nang lingunin ako ni Carla. She pulled my hair, kaya napasinghal ako.

"Tangina, seryoso?! Hindi ito joke?" She asked while she was holding my hair.

Tinanggal ko ang kamay niya sa buhok ko, "Oo nga, ang kulit ah."

Gertrude and Carla looked at each other bago sila nag apir dalawa, "I won the bet! Bitch give me 10 pesos!" Carla said and pulled Gertrude's hair.

Gertrude made a face bago kumuha ng sampung piso sa walet niya and handling it to Carla, na nakalahad ang kamay sa harapan niya, "Sampu lang eh, big deal masyado."

Carla dramatically put her hands on her chest, "Aba! Kung walang sampu, walang bente," she reasoned out.

I looked at them both bago ko sila sabay binatukan. The both of them put their hands on their head while they are looking at me.

"Alam niyo, nag pustahan pa kayo, sampu lang naman. Ang yaman niyo, ang kukuripot," I said habang nakahalukipkip at tinitignan sila pareho.

The started laughing kaya napakunot ang noo ko. They only stopped when Seb was standing infront of us. Nang aasar akong tinignan nila Carla, bago sila tumayo at iwan ako, leaving me with Seb alone.

Seb sat beside me kaya napausog ako ng kaunti. I looked at him and punched him playfully on his shoulders. Sa ginawa kong iyon ay napatngin siya sa akin, kunot ang noo niya.

"Para saan iyon?" He asked, habang pinipigilan ang matawa.

I furrowed my eyebrows, "Anong pakulo yung mga ito," I said and showed to him the flowers and lettters.

Nahihiyang napakamot sa batok si Seb bago tumingin sa main building na nasa harapan namin, while biting his lips.

"Y-you don't like it, don't you?" He suddenly said while he's looking at the main building.

I laughed and slowly hold his jaw so he can face me. Naramdaman kong natigilan siya because of what I did, "I like it. Thanks for the effort," I said while I'm caressing his cheek.

Umiwas siya ng tingin habang kagat ang labi niya. Nakita ko pa ang pamumula ng pisngi at tainga niya, kaya natawa ulit ako.

"Lyric, stop. Kinikilig ako eh, huwag kang ganyan," he said kaya mas lalo akong tumawa.

"A-ano naman ang kinalaman non?" I asked, still laughing.

I stopped laughing when his arms wrapped around my shoulders, before pulling me closer to him. My head was now on his chest. I pursd my lips before biting my lower lip, para mapigilan ko ang kilig na nararamdaman ko.

"Oh diba, kinikilig ka rin?" He suddenly said kaya napatingin ako sa kanya. Kunot ang noo.

I slapped his chest playfully, "Ikaw lang!"

Nagdadabog akong tumayo and I was about to walk away when he suddenly held my arms. Hinatak niya ako palapit sa kaniya and I stumbled kaya napahawak ako sa dibdib niya.

Nakatingala ako sa kaniya, while he was looking down at me. From my point of view, I could see how perfect his hazelnut brown eyes. Unconsiously, my hands went up to caress his cheek and hair, gently.

"What the fuck is this?"

Napalayo agad kami ni Seb sa isa't isa, at sabay na napalingon sa nagsalita. There I saw, Mason who was looking at us intently. Nakakunot ang noo niya habang nag lalakad patungo sa amin. Agad niya akong hinapit palapit sa kaniya, habang nakatingin kay Seb.

"Dude, this girl," Mason pointed at me, "Is my soon to be wife. Our marriage is already fixed. Understand? So back off!" Mason pushed Seb away.

Bumuntong hininga si Seb before he put his hand on his pocket before walking towards Mason, "Bro, kumalama ka. For you, that's your point of view. Chelsy is your soon to be wife, but let me say this," lumapit pa lalo si Seb kay Mason at hinatak niya ako palapit sa kaniya. He placed me sa likod niya, protecting me from Mason, "Chelsy has her own thinking. May sarili siyang utak and she doesn't want people who controlls her. Lastly, I'm Sebastian, her suitor and also her future."

Mas lalong kumunot ang noo ni Mason, "What do you mean your her future? I'm her future, not you, asshole!" Mason was about to punch Sebastian, pero agad niyang nahawakan ang kamao ni

"I don't want to repeat myself, but I will repeat it for you. I will be with her in her future, not you," Sebastian said before looking at me, "Lets go. Lets not waste our time," he looked at Mason from head to toe, "talking to people who's mind is closed."

With that ay hinatak na ako ni Sebastian paalis. While we're walking hindi ko maiwasan mapatingin kay Seb na ngayon ay seryoso ang itsura habang nag lalakad kami.

"Ate you okay?" I asked when we reached the Engineering building.

He looked at me and messed my hear slightly before smiling, "Ako okay lang ako. Ikaw ba, ayos ka lang?"

I nodded my head and showed him my hand na naka thumbs up. When he looked at it, nakangiti siyang tumango before turning his back on me. Tumingin ako sa kaliwa at kanan, tintignan kung may mga tao ba.

I breathe a large amount of air before running towards Sebastian and hugged him from behind. He stopped walking  and I felt him stiffened because of what I did. My hands are now on his tummy, caressing it a little. I can feel his abs even with his shirt is on.

"Thank you," I whispered.
