@ Ate RACH : Naman po. Reader din ako ng other stories e. ^^ @ Ate Mau : Nga po, kaya nga po may mga stories na akong hindi natapos e. Ayaw rin kasi tapusin ng Author. Here's the update! [b]♥ 14.1 ♥[/b] �What?� Napanganga ako. �I�ve wanted to tell you this for so long. Matagal ko na rin kasing tinatago �to, but then suddenly, kung kelan nagkakalakas na ako ng loob, fate suddenly barges in.� I gulped. �Cheska, I�� �KENT!� Si Chiles, niyakap si Kent mula sa likod na naging sanhi ng pagkahulog nilang dalawa sa pool. Natalsikan ako, kaya lalo lang akong naaasar. Tumayo na ako. �C-Cheska! Saglit!� Kent called. �Mamaya na lang Kent, marami pa naming oras. Take your time. Enjoy the swimming.� I told him and I left. Oo, I was looking forward to a confession, pero nabadtrip lang ako kasi naalala ko na may Chiles. Kaya imposible nanaman. Haay. KENT�s POV: Umupo ulit ako sa gilid ng pool. Naaasar ako, sayang! It all went into waste. Kung kelan nagather ko na ang courage para sabihin sakanya� Wala na. WALA NA. Chiles was still clinging on me. I just pulled my arm away, and left. �Kent!� She called, pero hindi na ako lumingon pa. I�m pissed off. �Kent! Wait!� She grabbed my arm nung nakarating na kami sa ibang kubo. �Ano ba, Chiles?� Hinarap ko na siya. �A-Anong problema? Weren�t we having fun?� �Fun? Yeah! Fun!� �B-Bakit? Bakit galit ka? Because Cheska� Left?� Natigilan ako, tapos napatingin ako sakanya. �Chiles�� I uttered. I held her hand. Parang paiyak na rin siya. �You know that I�ve been loving you too long dib a? But then, your attention was always on PJ. Tiniis ko lahat ng yun, until fourth year� Pero I think� It was better to stop right now.� �B-Bakit? Because of Cheska?� I took a sigh. �I� At first, she was just a friend to me. Sinubukan niya pa nga na tulungan ako sayo, but then now� I realized that I�ve been drawn to her too much�� I stared at her. �That I�ve fallen for her.� Then she finally cried. �Chiles, don�t cry.� �B-Bakit ganun? Ano bang meron sakanya na kayo ni PJ� You love her so much? Bakit hindi ako? Bakit hindi ako? ! May kulang pa ba sakin?! Ano bang kailangan kong gawin?!� �Wala, wala kang kailangang gawin�� I whispered to her as I hugged her tight. �You�re too good Chiles, you�re too good to be true� Pero siguro hindi ako ang para sayo�� �Then sino?� I patted her head. �He�ll come, at the right time.� �Bakit ba kasi� Hindi kita napansin noon�� I continued comforting her. �Let�s just be friends, okay?� I whispered to her ear. �Now� Stop crying�� CHESKA�s POV: Nauna na akong magbanlaw sa iba. Tinamad na ako mag swimming, besides, aayusin pa namin yung mulit-purpose hall. Magliligpit para sa susunod na activity. I sighed habang naaalala ko yung nangyari sa pool. It was so disappointing. I was probable being assuming that he was gonna confess. AHAY. Tama na nga, Cheska. Naprapraning ka na. -- Natapos ang lahat ng activities nang mapayapa. Yeah, a lot of iyakan, especially dun sa nagbukas kami ng letter ng parents. I know, sobrang napahagulgol ako sa sulat ng nanay ko. She was telling me to find my love and don�t worry about her. Parang nalulungkot ako. Kasi since I was young, I promised to myself that I will never leave my mother like how my father did. Kaso bakit ganito? Bakit ako nagmahal? Ang masama pa� Nagmahal ako ng hindi naman ako mahal. Kungdi ka ba naman minamalas Cheska. I saw Kent sa isang kubo, I bit my lower lip. May naguudyok saking puntahan siya, kaso nahihiya naman ako. TEKA, bakit naman ako mahihiya? He knows nothing about my feelings, at dati nanaman kaming friends. Right. I walked to him and directly spanked him in the head. �A-Aray!� �Heyyyy.� I greeted tapos naupo ako sa harap niya. �Magandang pambungad yun ah.� He said, pero nakangiti. It�s a great thing. It was like the mood ay katulad dati. �Aga mo nawala sa pool ah.� He told me. Tumango ako. �Inayus ko yung sa hall e� Naluha ka lang kanina?� I asked him. �Yeah. Ewan ko ba, hehe. Sulat lang kasi ng Tita ko yun e. You know, parents are abroad.� Tumango ako. Silence. �About kanina, yung pinag uusapan natin�� �Nah. Don�t worry about it.� I said. Okay na, sigurado amang hindi na yung importante. Kung anu man yun. �What?� �Wag mo na lang sabihin, hindi naman siguro importante yun e.� I said. Parang nabadtrip yung itsura niya. �O bakit ganyan yang mukha mo?� I said habang natatawa. �O sige na, sige na. Sabihin mo na.� I added. �FORGET IT.� He told me. �O bakit naiinis ka? Sabihin mo na. Dali!� Sabi ko while I was poking him. �WAG NA. Hindi ka naman ata interesado e.� Inirapan ko. �Asus, ang arte mo. Tampo ka kagad, di bagay sayo.� He just pouted. �Ahay, bahala ka nga.� Silence, kinalikot ko yung dumi ko sa kuko, amputik putik naman kasi e. �Sa prom�� He muttered. Napatingin ako sakanya. �Ano?� �May date ka na?� He asked. �Wala pa.� I replied. �Hindi nanaman kailangan nun e.� �Ako, pwede ba?� Natigilan ako, tapos napatingin ako sakanya. �Joke?� �NO.� I cleared my throat. �But Chiles�� �Don�t worry about her. Ano nga, pwede ba ako?� �But PJ�� He sighed for grief. �Hay nako, dami mong rason, bahala ka nga. Kung ayaw mo, sabihin mo na lang.� �Hindi naman sa ayaw ko, pero kasi� Alam mo naman di ba�� �Bakit ba palagi mo na lang iniisip ang iba? Sabihin mo nga, don�t you like me?� I gulped, namula ako, Bumibilis din ang tibok ng puso ko. NO, NO. Wag ganito. �I� I like you, Kent. Pero kasi siyempre, hindi kita ayaw� Kaya� Kaya I like you. Gets mo ba?� �Oo na. Wag mo nang ipamukha sakin.� �Ipamukha ang alin?� He stood up. �Na� Na you don�t� You don�t�� �Ano?� �Feel the same as I do!� He was flushed red. Ako rin, I have no idea what he was talking about per kinilig ako. �W-What do you mean� Feel what? Diretsuhin mo ko.� He got his fists clenched. Tension was all over us. �M-Matagal ko nang iniisip �to� At first, hindi ako makapaniwala, akala ko kasi� Kasi you�re being too nice, masaya ka kasama, at kung anu pa.� Napalunok ako ng laway. �But then, it all changed. Alam ko na alam mong si Chiles� Ang laman ng puso ko. Noon. Pero ngayon�� �TULUGAN NA!!!!� Naalarma kaming dalawa sa boses nung Adviser ng other class. Napatingin kaming dalawa. �A-Ano? Dalian mo!� I told him. �A-Ano, Cheska I�� �Kayung dalawa, balik na sa kwarto!!� Tapos dinuro duro kami. WTH? Kakabadtrip! Nagkatinginan kaming dalawa, parehong nanghihinayang. Napailing ako habang naglalakad palayo. [i][b] I simply don�t understand FATE. [/b][/i]
