Nakita ko ang pagsulyap sakin ng ama ko. I looked at Trevor, nakatingin din sakin habang papalapit.
"Goodevening po." He said politely to my Father. Sinenyasan ko siya sa mata kung bakit siya nandito.
"I invited him here so you can have company. I noticed that your cousin's are with their partners." Sambit ng ama ko. Tumango lang ako.
Kanina ko pa pinapaalala na birthday niya ngayon kaya hindi ako umaangal.
"Why didn't you texted me that you'll come here?" Bulong ko kay Trevor. Lumapit siya sakin nakatayo sa harap ko. May kinausap sandali ang ama ko. Pero nakatingin samin.
"I texted you." Sagot niya mukhang wala din sa mood. Alam kong napipilitan lang din siya. We got closer. Nagkita kami noong minsan.
Kinausap niya na din ang Dad niya but he didn't agreed too.
Nagulat ako sa sinabi niya. I checked my phone. Nakita kong may text nga siya natabunan lang. Nahihiya akong tumingin
Labyu all❤ Sana lab niyo din ako 👉❤👈
Tumingin ako kay Kalle, saktong paglingon niya sakin. His face is blank, hindi ko mabasa ang mukha niya. Binaling ko ang tingin kay Jane. She's staring at me. She look kind pero ako hindi ako kind. "You can take a seat anywhere you want." I said stern to them. Saka ko hinawakan sa may siko si Trevor at hinila siya at binilisan ang lakad. Nagpatinaod naman sakin si Trev. Hinila ko siya sa pwesto ko kanina, sa bandang sulok kung saan walang masyadong tao. Our living room is wide, they decorated it for this party. Kaya naman hindi na siya mukhang sala parang venue talaga for parties. Round tall tables are everywhere, ang ilan ay sinadyang hindi nilagyan ng upuan. Some party light are flashing. And it's formal and not that lively dahil matanda na ang may birthday. My father is strict at ganito siya talaga magpaparty. Business is included in his parties. Nagulat ako nang pagkalingon ay nakasunod pala samin ang dalawa. Nakita ni Kal
She have Trevor who's in love with her and she'll be married to Kalle. Ang swerte niya sa dalawa. Ang swerte niya may nagmamahal sa kanya. She's lucky she have Trev, who lkve her. Samantalang ako hindi ako mahal ni Kalle. Hindi niya ako nagawang mahalin kahit pa mag-iisang taon kaming magkasama. Nakaramdam ako ng pait. At dahil doon ay hindi ko namalayan na marami na ako naiinom. Nabigla nalang din ako nasa tabi ko si Trev kinakausap ng mga pinsan ko. Hindi ako umiimik o nakikisali sa usapan. Basta umiinom lang ako. I don't care if I'll get drunk. Mas mabuti na 'yon para makalimot ako. I saw Kalle and Jane both stood up from their seat. Nakita ko kung paano alalayan ni Kalle si Jane papunta sa kung saan. Are they leaving? Or he'll help her go to the restroom? Ano? Gagawin din sa loob ng banyo ang ginagawa naming dalawa noon? Nilagok ko ng isahan ang laman ng isang basong puno ng beer. Trevor warned me kanina, na napapadami na ang ino
"Ako na." Matigas niyang sabi. "I know where her father is. It'll be easier if she'll come with me." Hindi ko narinig magsalita si Trev. Baka pumayag na. He glance at me, suplado parin ang mukha. "Let's go." He said stern at balak ng hilain ako palakad. "Hindi pa ako pumayag." Malamig kong sabi saka lumayo ng bahagya sa kanya. Bumuntong hininga siya at pumikit sandali. "Come on, Quiva don't be stubborn. I'll just take you to your father." He said impatient, mukhang naiinis na. Hindi nalang ako umimik at naglakad na. I felt his hold on my elbow. Tumigil ako sa paglalakad at tinabig ang kamay niya. "You can take me there without touching me." Suplada kong sabi nakatitig ng matalim sa kanya. "You let my brother hug you but you can't let me hold you? I'm just helping you out." Kung masungit ako mas masungit siya. Magkapatid nga sila hindi ko sila matalo sa asara
"You said you only have one girl, and Trevor should stop making me think you have other girl." I continued saying. Pinapanood niya ako. Tahimik na nakikinig. "But what's this? You said you only have me but why are you kissing Jane?" Pumiyok ang boses ko and a tear fell from my eye. Tangina ang sakit. Nangyari nanaman ang nangyari sakin noon. I witnessed when Wayne was cheating on me, how he f*cking f*cked that girl! I witnessed how Kalle was fine, how he accepted Jane as his fiancee. I witnessed how nice he is to her, and now I witnessed him kiss her. Hiningi ko noon na isang bagsakan nalang ang sakit ano nanaman ito? He didn't talk for a few seconds, mukha siyang nag-iisip ng malalim. And then he suddenly walked towards me so fast. Umurong ako sa bawat hakbang niya. Galit ako sayo. Ayokong hawakan niya ako. "Is that why you're mad? I didn't kiss her. I didn't kiss Jane." Pag-alo n
Once again, I stilled and my chest feels like it has a ticking bomb inside, parang sasabog iyon. I don't know if he can feel it, pero sana hindi. "Ghad, I miss my baby." He said huskily. Akala ko mahihimatay ako dahil sa pagwawala ng puso ko. How I long for his hug. Miss na miss kong marinig na tawagin niya ako ng 'baby'. A tear left my eye, dumami iyon nang marinig ang susunod niyang sinabi. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry baby. I'm sorry." He said it so sincere, I even think that he's crying. Hindi ko alan kung umiiyak nga ba siya talaga. But his voice is shaking. Ayokong maging marupok. Ayokong maging mahina para sa kanya. Pero kahit na hindi ako sigurado kung para saan ang mga sorry niya, niyakap ko siya pabalik. Ghad! Sobrang miss ko siya. I dreamed of this everyday. I missed his touch. I miss feeling the heat of his body. His smell, his voice, his beautiful face, everything about him. Hindi ko na nap
He's on top of me. Kanina pa siya tahimik, he is just staring intently at me. Ang isang siko ay nakatukod sa bed para maangat ang sarili at hindi ako madaganan. He used his right hand to touch my face. Kinilabutan ako dahil doon. He gently caressed my face, palipat-lipat ang mga mata, nililibot ang tingin sa buong mukha ko. I saw how he gulped and gritted his teeth. Nang magtama uli ang mga mata namin ay nalunod ulit ako. "Ano? Titigan mo nalang ba ako?" Suplada kong sabi. Ilang minuto na siyang ganito. I'm trying to make him say or do something dahil ayoko na ganitong tahimik lang siya at tinititigan ako ng ganito. Like I'm the most beautiful girl he have ever seen. Ganon kasi ang klase ng tingin niya, or maybe I'm just assuming because I know to my self, I want to be the most beautiful girl in his eyes. "I'm sorry." He said like a whisper. Kumabog ang puso ko, nagwala lalo. "Para saan ang mga sorry mo?"
I was panting, and still catching my breath while he's kissing my neck again. Nairita ako sa buhok niya. I felt his sweat on his forehead. Tinulak ko siya para matignan ang mukha. Sumasagabal ang ilang hibla ng buhok. His hair is longer than before kaya ngayon ay sumasagabal na. "Istorbo buhok mo." I said a bit irritated and push him away on top of me. He layed beside me and watch me reach for the drawer beside the bed and took out a rubber band. Kahit nanginginig pa ang tuhod ko dahil sa ginawa niya ay umupo ako. Hindi pa nakuntento at pumatong sa kanya. Umupo sa lap niya. He sat, he knew what I am planning to do. I ponytailed his hair, pawis na pawis kaming dalawa. He grab one rubber band from my hand and ponytail my hair too. Lumakas lalo ang kabog ng dibdib ko dahil sa ginagawa namin. Fuck! Kinikilig yata ako. Nauna siyang matapos sa pag-ipit sa buhok ko. Hinahalik-halikan niya ako habang iniipit ko parin ang
Nakahinga ako nang maluwag nang malaman na hindi nila alam na kasama ko sa kwarto ko kagabi si Nicholas. We are eating lunch now. Nakasabay pa ako. Busy akong kumakain at iniinda parin ang sakit ng ulo ko nang biglang magsalita ang ama ko. "Kailan niyo pag-uusapan ni Trevor ang tungkol sa kasal niyo, Quiva? Your graduation is near, we should plan your marriage soon." He said stern and took a bite of his steak. Nasamid ako dahil sa biglaang pag-open niya doon. "I don't know." I answered calmly. I know he's watching me. "Nicholas and Jane already talked about their plan on their marriage this morning." For the second time nasamid uli ako. But I didn't felt the pain on my throat or in my nose. I felt in my chest, in my heart. My heart hurts and my head aches even more. "W-what?" I asked nervously, what he said isn't registering in my mind. "Franc
"Now for the throwing of bouquet!" Announced the emcee. Napangisi ako. Bukod sa maon ceremony which is ang pagkakasal sa amin ni Kalle ay ito ang pangalawang pinakahihintay ko at pinaka excited ako. "Pumila ang mga single baka sakali magkajowa pagnasalo!" Rinig kong maingay na sigaw ni Gina. Wala talaga hiya sa katawan ang babaeng ito. Umiling akong natatawa sa kanya. I searched for the one girl, who's very important for this part. "There you are." Bulong ko sa sarili ko ay napangiti lalo nang makita na ang hinahanap ko. Laughing shyly, her tiny moves, standing in front of her seat. Not taking any steps to join the game. Hindi yan makikisali kahit na pilitin. Sumali man siya o hindi, salo na niya ang bouquet. "Who's next?! Sino ang susunod na ikakasal?" Said the emcee very lively. Then they started counting. Tumalikod ako pero wala naman talagang balak itapon ang bulaklak.
Full moon, bedroom, stars in your eyes.Last night the first time that I realized.The glow between us, felt so right.We sat on the edge of the bed and you said."I never knew that I could feel this way"Love today can be so difficultBut what we have I know is different'Cause when I'm with you the world stops turning Could I love you any more?Could I love you any more?Could I love you any more? I smiled, ever brighter and sweeter than before. Yes, I could love him any more. I know, I will fall deeper to him than today. Every day of every hour of every minute, the more I get to know him, the deeper I fall. I will never get out of this hole. This deep hole in my heart filled with love for him. For all the challenges we've faced. There are people who tried to ruin our love for each other. For
Q POV "You are the only perfect woman for me." He said softly and planted a kiss on my forehead. Nabawasan ang pangamba ko pero may mga tanong parin sa isip ko. "Jane was your fiancee before. They like her for you. Magkaiba kami ni Jane." "She was my fiancee because my family know her family. It was just an agreement between our families. I did not chose her for me. And yes, you two are different from each other. I'm in love with you. And Jane is just a friend for me. Ikaw ang gusto kong pakasalan." "What about your parents? Do they like me?" "They will. They do." "Nakilala nila ako as Trevs fiancee. Ano nalang ang iisipin nila sa akin? Tinago ko na may relasyon tayong dalawa. Tapos buntis na kaagad ako. Baka isipin nila malandi ako–" "Hindi sila gano'n mag-isip. And I already explained everything to them. Sinabi ko na na may relasyon na tayo bago pa kayo magkakilala ni Trev
Napangiti ako nang maaalala ang pag-uusap namin kanina ni ama.Nagkausap kami kanina, kaming dalawa lang. Wala si Kalle wala sina Mom "Do you really want to marry him?" He asked, still looking stern while staring at our garden. "Yes, father." I answered certain. Kahit alam kong payag na siyang ikasala kami ni Kalle ay kinabahan parin ako nang tawagin niya ako para mag-usap kaming dalawa. "Will you be happy with him?" He asked, this time staring in my eyes. Bigla nalang akong naiyak. Suddenly, I don't see the strict father I grew up with. The man I see in front me, have soft eyes, gentle face and modest tone. "Opo." Umiiyak ko ng sabi. He nod lightly and looked side way. I saw how his eyes sparkled because of forming tears? "Then I have no reason to oppose." Tuluyan na akong naiyak. "Father," My voice cracked. He looked at me softly. His lips stretch forming a s
"I can talk to my parents, Sir. If you will let me marry your daughter I can–" he cut him off. "What about the family of Jane? Isn't she your fiancee?" "I'll talk to her parents." "Do you think I will let you marry my daughter?" "Sir, I love your daughter." "Does my daughter love you too?" Nicholas tongue was cut off by that question. "Does she love me?" Nicholas asked to himself inside his mind. He isn't sure. He doesn't know. "No answer?" Nanunuyang tanong ni Marius sa binata. Nicholas is staring at the floor. Thinking deeply if Quiva does love him. Hindi pa nila sinasahi ang totoong nararamdaman sa isat isa. He is not sure if Quiva loves him too. If she's ready to be in a serious relationship with him.If she's ready to be in a relationship again. "You don't have the answer?" Sambit ni Mariu
Q POV "Kalle?" I called him. May naaalala ako sa usapan nila kanina. "Hmm?" Sagot niya. "You talked to my father before?" Hindi siya kaagad sumagot at dama ko ang kabog ng puso niya kaya inangat ko ang ulo ko at tinitigan siya. He licked his lips and gulp. "Yes." He answered. Ako naman ang kumabog ang puso ngayon. "When? Why didn't you tell me? What did you two talked about?" Sunod sunod kong tanong. He was about to answer my questions but we both heard the footsteps coming from the kitchen towards us. "Krist? What are you doing here?" I asked surprised when I saw him walking out of the kitchen. Mas lalo akong nagtaka nang makitang sanay na sa presensya niya ang mga kasama ko. I glance at Kalle, nagtataka din siya. *** Third Person POV
Q POV "I will not runaway." He said again this time looking at me, apologizing through his eyes. Tuluyan ng tumukas ang mga luha ko. "W-what?" My voice cracked. Parang binibiyak ang puso ko sa nangyayari ngayon. Hindi niya ako pinili? He's not going to runaway with me because my father will imprison him? Sumakit ang puso ko. Yes, I don't want him to be imprisoned, but I don't want him to not choose me! Gagawa ako ng paraan para hindi siya makulong, pero ano pang use non? Bakit pa ako gagawa ng paraan kung ganitong hindi niya ako pipiliin? "If I have to be imprisoned, I'm willing to turn my self in, Sir. It's better than losing your daughter. I will not leave your daughter, Sir. Kahit pa ipakulong niyo ako. I will still choose her." When I heard him say that. I started sobbing. Kalle immediately went back to my side to stop me from crying. Akala ko hindi niya ako pipiliin. Akala ko iiwan na niya a
Q POV Looking at our living room, I suddenly remembered the day I nearly begged to my father just to make him say the name of the man he wants me to marry. And how my world nearly collapsed after finding out the surname of my fiance. He only said Morton, nothing more, then piece by piece, I slowly knew who's he referring to. It was Trevor, I didn't tell Kalle about it. I kept it from him afraid I might lose him. That's what I'm feeling right now again. I'm so afraid I might lose him, but I have to be brave. I have to be brave for me not to lose him. My heart beat doubled when I saw my father and mom walking down the stairs, going to our direction. Nakaupo kami ngayon sa sofa dito sa sala. When we came here ate immediately went to the kitchen. Hindi ko alam anong ginawa doon, nasa taas naman pala sina Mom. Nakahinga ako ng maluwag nang lumabas na doon si ate. She gave me a signal to calm down and take this easy.&n
Q POV "So it's true." He said stiff. Napalunok ako ng laway. "Are you planning to runaway?" He asked. Not removing his eyes on Kalle, hindi man lang ako tinatapunan ng tingin. I feel more nervous for Kalle than for myself. "Yes." Matapang kong sagot. I successfully turned his eyes on me. Pero nangangatog parin ang tuhod ko kahit gaano ko subukan maging matapang. Its my father and he is with his men and also ate at his back na visible ang kaba para sakin. She's giving me sign not to be stubborn, binalewala ko iyon. "You're trying to escape from me..." I thought he's saying that to me pero kumabog ang puso ko ng may katuglong iyon. "Nicholas." He said firmly to his name. Mas hinigpitan ko ang hawak sa kamay ni Kalle. "I thought you're a decent man-"I cut my fathers off. "He is!" I said strong, anger building up. He's starting to judge Kalle. He's going to make him
