The Fiery Antagonism（Taglish） Chapter 14
Gano’n nga siguro talaga kapag nag-eenjoy ka, pakiramdam mo bumibilis ang takbo ng oras. Two months feels like three days. Masyado akong naaliw sa summer break kaya hindi ko namalayang ilang buwan na rin pala ang lumipas at heto na naman ang enrollment. But, at least, hindi na ‘to gaanong hassle ngayon. I did it online so, I don’t have to go to school. I mean, there’s nothing wrong with the traditional method. I just thought that it would be nice if I won’t see Aven before the classes starts. Hopefully, that would bring good luck.I got extremely upset and I’m still upset about the gift ending up in the trashbin. He’s the most inconsiderate person I have ever known. Puwede naman niyang iuwi na lang sa bahay nila at do’n itapon o kung ano mang gusto niyang gawin sa binigay ko. Huwag lang niyang ipakita sa akin na hindi niya nagustuhan kasi nagmumukha akong tanga, e. I spent hours deciding what should I give, only for my efforts to go to waste? That’s definitely bullsh*t. Sino ba siya sa

Wala naman gaanong bago. Everything feels like deja vu, we have to make adjustments again for our subjects. I expected our specialized subjects, 'yong mga activities lang na agad-agaran na binigay ang hindi. Even the due dates are already set! May ibang teachers na rin na nagpa-quiz after mag-lecture. Jusko, dito na ba ako magsisisi na STEM ang strand na kinuha ko?"S***a, bakit gano'n?! Parang hindi naman yata tama na kami lang ang may immersion. Kailangan niyo rin naman ng training, ah? Ang duga!"As usual, here we are at the canteen eating lunch as we listen to Kheena’s rants. Ritwal niya na ‘ata ‘to tuwing unang araw ng eskuwela. Kung hindi tungkol sa mga kaklase niya o sa mga teachers nila, tungkol naman sa mga subjects or anything related to it. I want to say that the HUMSS strand suits her well since I can picture her being a lawyer but just by listening to her choice of words? Hindi malabong siya pa ang hatulan ng pagkakakulong."Kheena, for the love of God, it's our first day

Unlike last year, sitting next to Aven isn’t that bothersome anymore. Dumalang na ang mga pagkakataon na magkatabi kami at hindi niya na ako inaasar anumang oras niya gustuhin sa kadahilanang marami na siyang ginagawang mas importante pa kaysa sa pang-aasar.Bukod sa more on specialized subjects na kami, Vice President rin kasi siya ng Student Council. Mas maaasahan siya kaysa sa mismong SC President kaya halos araw-araw siyang pinapatawag sa office nila. Unti-unti na rin akong nasasanay na mag-isa o kung sino-sino na lang sa mga kaklase namin ang nakakatabi ko sa upuan kapag wala siya. Hay, how nice to not have him around often. Such a relief.I was just chilling in my seat when Rico rushed to me.“Cindz, puwede makisuyo? Nagpapahatid kasi si Aven ng snacks tsaka lunch meal sa SC Office. Baka puwedeng ikaw na lang muna maghatid? Bigla kasing dinatnan si Kheena kaya ihahatid ko na muna pauwi. Hindi ko alam kung anong oras pa ako makakabalik, e,” aligaga nitong saad habang nagkakalkal n

Senior High is indeed a preparation for tertiary level. Pero hindi naman ako na-inform na sa dalawang taon sa SHS department ay dalawang beses rin pala akong mac-culture shock. Masayang isipin na ilang buwan na lang ay ga-graduate na ako ngunit sa huling taon ko na ‘to? Dumoble ‘yong pressure, ‘yong stress—dumoble lahat pati na ‘yong kamalasan ko kapag nandiyan si Aven."Alam kong matunog ang balitang nag-anunsiyo na ako sa ibang strands tungkol sa performance task ninyo. And yes, you are going to shoot a film. Kahit konti lang kayo sa section na 'to ay hahatiin ko pa rin ang klase niyo sa dalawang grupo. Is that okay with you, guys?" Ma'am Gonzalo announced."Yes, Ma'am!"I’m so happy that the groupings aren’t in alphabetical order—I was so happy until Aven’s surname was called just a few surnames after mine. Hindi na nga alphabetical pero kagrupo ko pa rin siya, even Rico belonged to the same group I’m in! Gusto kong mag-reklamo at lumipat ng kabilang grupo pero ano namang idadahilan

“’Yon na ‘yon? Sure na kayo diyan?” Umiling si Rico. “Guys naman! Akala ko ba ipapanalo natin ‘to? E, kahit nga konting emosyon lang sa pagbigkas ng mga linya niyo ay pinagkakait niyo pa. Bagsak tayong lahat, gusto niyo ‘yon? We’re about to make a film, everyone. Hindi tayo magro-roleplay on the spot sa classroom!”Nameywang pa ito at nilibot ang tingin sa buong cast pero alam kong ako talaga ang pinatatamaan niya. Kinginang project ‘to, kung hindi lang ‘to sixty percent ng grades ko ay hindi ko na ‘to bibigyan ng panahon, e.Napayuko ako at napakagat-labi. Nakaka-guilty na wala akong talent sa pag-arte kahit na hindi ko naman talaga kasalanan na hindi ako marunong. Although, they can’t blame me for this. Pinagpilitan nilang ako ang gumanap sa female lead kahit na ayoko ‘di ba? Then, they have to bear with me because I was forced to agree to this.“From the top! Hindi tayo magsisimulang mag-taping hanggat hindi pa stable ang emotions sa lines niyo.”We’re currently here at Villantura’s

We went to their kitchen with the little boy clinging onto him, tugging the hem of his shirt as they walked together. He’s still sniffling but he’s calmer than earlier. Hindi pa rin tumitigil sa pagtulo ang mga luha nito ngunit sa nakikita ko’y sinusubukan naman ng batang patahanin ang sarili sa pamamagitan ng pagkagat ng kaniyang labi. Cute.Naabutan namin si Mrs. Villantura na naglalabas ng tray mula sa loob ng kanilang malaking oven. May iilang tray rin ng cookies na nakalapag sa counter island kaya amoy na amoy ang bagong bake niyang pastry sa buong kusina.“Oh? Tapos na kayo mag-practice?” bungad nito nang malingunan kami.“Not yet. Kukuha lang kaming pagkain, ‘Ma,” iling ni Aven.Hinubad ng ginang ang suot nitong oven mitts, palipat-lipat ang tingin niya sa amin ng kaniyang anak at kalaunan ay napatingin ito sa batang nakahawak pa rin sa laylayan ng damit ni Anastacio.“Adi, what did I tell you? Kuya’s busy now, so you can’t play with him today. Why won’t you play with your Kuya

Hinintay ko siyang tumanggi o mangatuwiran man lang pero ilang araw na ang lumipas simula no’ng nag-practice kami sa bahay nila at kagaya ng palagi niyang ginagawa, he acted like nothing happened. Sinubukan ko siyang pakiramdaman ngunit mukhang wala talaga itong balak magpaliwanag. I mean—he doesn’t have to explain, I just want him to at least deny what his mother revealed that day. I don’t wanna believe all of that because there’s something grumbling inside my stomach whenever I think about it. Nakakakiliti, and I don’t like the way it makes me feel.Ang tingin kong tutok sa gurong nagtuturo sa harapan, ay kalaunang nalipat sa katabi ko nang bigla itong magsalita.“You’re doing it again,” he said lowly.Sinong kausap nito? Is he talking to himself? I was about to say something sarcastic to mock him when he suddenly looked my way. I met his gaze and just stared at him, waiting for what he would say next.“You’re making it awkward for the both of us. Stop it.”My brows immediately colli

“From the top.”I frowned, “Are you kidding me? E, kauulit lang—”Umiling siya, “Nope. Again. From the top,” ulit niya.Halos mangangalahating oras na kaming ganito. Konting bulol, uulit. Paminsan-minsan kapag natatagalan akong bigkasin ang mga salita dahil iniisip ko pa kung ano ba dapat ang ilalabas kong emosyon, few moments after that, uulit na naman. Para bang… sinusubukan niya talagang saidin ang pasensiya ko.“You know what?” Marahas kong binagsak sa desk ko ang script ko, “I’m done.”Padabog akong tumayo at akmang magwa-walk out na nang kumalansing na naman ang bakal na nakakabit sa mga palapulsuhan namin. Right, I almost forgot about these stupid handcuffs. I shouldn’t have act calmer earlier. That way, I can at least find a way to escape. Smart-*ss, alam na alam niya talagang tatakasan ko siya.Nanatili lang ang kaniyang tingin sa script niya, walang pakialam kahit anong maktol ko. Kahit nga siguro magpagulong-gulong ako dito ay hindi niya pa rin ako pakakawalan. It seems like

The Fiery Antagonism（Taglish） EPILOGUE
I didn’t mean to raise my hand that day—the first time I caught her glaring at me with her beautiful brown-ish eyes. I was just yawning, stretching my arms, and about to go back to my seat when the teacher called my name to answer that Math flashcard. I can’t buy sweets for my sister because Mama doesn’t want us to talk with her or even go near her, so I was kind of happy and excited about that cheap chocolate. It was supposedly for Nish but when I saw her crying, I impulsively asked our teacher to give it to her.The fact that she’s a girl, I can’t help but panic and unconsciously put Nish in her shoes. What if she was my sister, would they have the same reaction? I don’t know why she hated me since that day but I didn’t bother to know the reason. I don’t care. At first, I don’t give a d*mn about it.Kahit palaging galit at nakasimangot sa tuwing magkasama o magkatabi kami, ang ganda pa rin talaga niya. Matalino pa! Masungit nga lang. Gusto ko talagang makipagkaibigan sa kaniya kaso a

Sa kabila ng lahat ng mga nangyari—simula noon hanggang ngayon na bumalik siya matapos mawala ng maraming taon, bakit nga ba ako umasa na hindi nagbago ang pagtingin niya sa akin? Bakit hindi ako nagtaka, na kahit hindi maayos ang paghingi ko ng tawad sa kaniya ay umakto lang siyang maayos na ang lahat sa amin, na para bang noon pa man ay malapit na ang loob namin sa isa’t-isa? How come he didn’t pushed me away when I tried to reach out to him? Everything went too fast, pero hindi ko agad naisip ang mga ‘yun dahil masyado akong nalunod sa bugso ng damdamin ko; Masyado akong nagpadala sa kat*ngahan ko.Dire-diretso akong pumasok sa bahay niya upang kunin lahat ng naiwan kong mga gamit. Wala na rin naman akong dahilan para bumalik pa dito. Wala na kaming dapat pang pag-usapan dahil sapat na ang nadatnan ko ngayong gabi para magising sa kahibangan kong ‘to. Kung ganito lang rin naman, mas mabuti nang lumaki ang anak ko nang walang kinikilalang ama. I’m going to keep the baby with or witho

The following days went well although, going back to my old routine—my life before Alessandro and I decided to live together doesn’t feel the same as before anymore. Like what we have compromised, we settle for texts and calls. But it makes me miss him more, it makes me want to see him and feel him so I keep making excuses to shorten the duration of our talks. Ayos lang naman no’ng una, pero no’ng napapansin kong palagi na siyang matamlay tuwing nagtatawagan kami at hindi niya na rin halos binabalik ang mga texts ko ay nalulungkot na ako. He’s obviously making time for me, pero anong ginagawa ko? Sinasayang ko ang oras niya imbes na ipagpahinga niya na lang ‘to.Getting up to get ready for work wasn't as refreshing as my usual weekday mornings with him. It feels like something’s missing doing things even if I’m used to doing them alone. It’s just been a few days yet I’m already longing for Alessandro’s warmth; I miss him.Unlike before, nagluluto na ako sa umaga upang makapag-almusal

Since none of us dared to start a conversation on our way home, the whole ride was painfully quiet; Both of us had our eyes on the road although, I was the only one who was watching the cars ahead of us like a fool. I couldn't stand how awkward it was, but I tried my very best to keep my mouth shut. I don't even have the right to at least lighten up the mood because in the first place, I was and I still am the reason why the atmosphere between us is uncomfy.I didn't refuse his proposal but my response was neither of "yes" and "no"—it was a "sorry", it turned out to be an apology when it wasn't suppose to be like that. Ang nonsense pero mabuti na ring wala akong naging matinong tugon. Magulo pa ang isip ko ngayon at ayokong pagsisihan kung anumang maging sagot ko kung sakali."That's alright, you don't need to be sorry. I understand." That's exactly what he said as he downheartedly nod his head and just pulled me close for a hug. I doubted that but then he genuinely looked like he wasn

We already dine like this before but right now, the atmosphere is way different than the last time. Something’s up, I can feel it. Naguguluhan man sa kung anong nangyayari ay isinantabi ko na lang muna ang pagtatanong at nagsimula na kaming kumain.Halos mapapikit pa ako sa sobrang sarap ng pagkaing nakahain sa harapan ko. I dramatically point a finger on my food as I chew. Siya ‘lagi ang nagluluto ng pagkain namin sa bahay niya kaya hindi ko na kailangan pang mag-isip, siguradong siya ang nagluto nito. Hindi ko alam kung sadyang talento niya lang ‘to o talagang ipinanganak siya para sa ganitong purpose, e. Jusko, ang sarap!I heard him let out some soft little giggles.“You like it? That’s one of my specialties.”I slowly nodded. “God, Alessandro… Please cook for me for the rest of my life,” I muttered in awe.I’m not good and I don’t usually give comments about what I eat since I often drink coffee the whole day instead of having an actual meal but every time I taste his dishes, I a

“Kung alam ko lang na iiyak ka ng ganito, hindi na sana ako nagkuwento. That’s why you were so mad at me when I tried to avoid the Migz question, wasn’t it?” He pecked on my forehead and then pulled me into a hug, letting me lean on his chest as he caressed my back as if it was his way of calming me down. “Alright, apology accepted. But all of that… It’s already in the past now, okay? Tapos na ‘yun. Let’s just focus on what we have today, hmm? Tahan na.”Okay, maybe it’s all already in the past but it won’t ever change the fact that it happened. How narcissistic of me to think that he was a threat to me when it’s actually the other way around; I was the one who was a threat to him. Siguradong nakadagdag lang ako sa sakit ng ulo niya—dumagdag lang ako sa pinagdaanan niya. At sa kabila ng lahat, ni isang beses ay hindi ko siya narinig na nagreklamo. Hindi niya ako sinisi at sinumbatan ‘gaya ng ginawa ko sa kaniya noon at nagawa niya pa akong patawarin ng basta-basta. Hindi naman sa ayaw

I’m not sure if that ‘workmate’ word repetition was just a dream or if it really happened but when I woke up the following day, our arms are both encircling each other’s waists already. I swear I felt something slightly rough on my face earlier and I am certain, it was his stubbles. Positively, he was smooching me while I was still asleep.Bumungad sa akin si Aven na seryoso ang mukhang nakatitig sa mukha ko. He wasn’t even startled when he saw that I’m already awake. Still his arms around my waist, he gently draws small circles on my lower back with his finger—a very cuddly gesture yet he’s keeping a straight face. Napaawang ako at babatiin na sana siya ng magandang umaga nang maalala kong hindi pa nga pala kami bati. Ahm… So, what now? Hindi pa ba kami bati sa lagay na ‘to?“Ano? Nasa’n na ang morning kiss ko? Pati ba naman ‘yun ipagkakait mo sa akin? Hindi ka na nga nag-goodnight kiss sa akin kagabi, e.”I remain staring at him for a while and then snuggled against his chest. Napapi

Holding hands, we strolled as some staff showed us around. Soothing fresh air, and dancing trees all over the place. This is indeed a paradise, it’s like being in a place between beauty on land and in water. Maa-appreciate talaga ang kagandahan ng lugar dahil hindi gaanong ma-tao. Kapansin-pansin rin ang pag-iingat ng may-ari upang huwag masyadong gawing moderno ang kapaligiran.“You like it here? I mean…” He scratched his brow, “ I just thought this staycation could compensate for the stressful week you've had.”Mangha ko siyang nilingon. “Are you kidding me? I love it here! Have you been here before? This is the most relaxing place I’ve ever been to.”Not to sugarcoat nor exaggerate things but this is really the best place I’ve ever been to. Well, I don’t give myself breaks often because for me that's just a waste of time and I don't think I deserve those. Even after I graduated college and passed the board exams, naghanap agad ako ng trabaho. Tumatak na sa aking isipan na kapag abal

Having a quite heavy workload kind of helps me to drift away from overthinking. Yes, it is exhausting but at least I’m not as restless as I am when I’m having sleepless nights, doing nothing but stress about things I shouldn't exaggerate in the first place.Actually, I've already decided to confront him but I just can't do it. Pinangungunahan ako ng takot ko at alam kong hindi dapat ako nagpapadaig sa mga naiisip ko ngunit ayoko rin naman na masyadong magpa-kampante. Either what we have is real or he’s just playing around, but it could be neither of these.Even after all the assurance Aven's been showing or telling me, ang dami pa rin talagang "what if's" na naglalaro sa aking isipan. Alam kong kung may isang tao man na gustong malaman kung anong bumabagabag sa akin, it’ll be Aven. But I have no plans on telling him about it, I don't want him to think or feel that I don't trust him. I trust him, I just can’t help having doubts. Maybe it’s too soon to decide for that, at baka kaya ko pa
