《Questionable Love》8
Advertisement
Wala namang masyadong nangyari sa buhay ko simula no'ng umamin si Bong.Maliban sa araw-araw niyang pag me-message sa 'kin from sweet Good Mornings to Beautiful Goodnights.He also sends me some foods and snacks.
But until now 'di pa din nag-si-sink in ang lahat.I mean bago lang kami nagkakilala.Pero gusto na niya ako ka agad?Natulungan ko lang siya gusto na niya ako?Weird right?
"Sara!Wag mo munang sagutin si Bong para 'di na natin kailangan bumili o magluto ng makakain"Natatawang sabi ni Rye habang inilalagay na sa bowl at plato ang mga ulam na pina-deliver ni Bong sa unit namin.
"He's not courting me"Natatawang sabi ko sa kan'ya kaya inismiran at inirapan ako ng dalawa.
"Why are you denying it,Inday?"Tanong ni Rye.
"What?Denying?'di naman niya talaga ako nililigawan."Seryosong sagot ko.
Wala naman kaseng sinabi si Bong na liligawan niya ako.Ang sabi niya lang no'ng nasa Ferris wheel kami he likes me daw and 'yon umuwi kami gamit ang awkward na hangin.
"C'mon,maybe hindi niya nga tinanong o sinabi na liligawan ka niya,pero think of it Inday,hindi pa ba 'to panliligaw?"Sambit ni Sam.
Tumawa ako at umupo sa harap ni Sam habang si Rye naman ay nasa tabi ko.
"Para sa akin lang ba ang mga pagkaing 'to?"Tanong ko sa kan'ya habang kumuha ng ulam.
"Hindi....Pero alam naman namin Sam na napipilitan lang si Bong na bigyan din kami.Or who knows na para sa'yo lang talaga ang mga 'to"Wika ni Rye habang ngumunguya na.
"Grabe naman kung para sa 'kin ang lahat ng 'to.Ang dumi talaga ng isip niyo.Again hindi ako nililigawan ni Bong."
Bumuntong hininga si Sam at umayos ng upo"Look,siguro nga hindi lang para sa'yo ang mga 'to pero halata namang napipilitan lang si Bong na damihan 'to para 'di ka ma makulangan o 'di ka namin agawan"Pagpupumilit pa ni niya
Umiling-iling na lang ako at ipinag-patuloy ang pag-kain."Ugghh,Just enjoy the food"
Iniba na lang ni Rye ang usapan habang patuloy kaming kumakain.Nag-aasaran lang ang dalawa dahil magbarkada ang nanliligaw sa kanila.Nakikinig lang ako sa kanila at nakikitawa.

Nang matapos kaming kumain agad akong tumayo at nag-tungo sa maliit naming sala.Si Sam kase ang naka-assign sa araw na 'to para mag-hugas.Si Rye naman ay pumasok sa kwarto niya para kuhanin ang charger.
"Sara"Tawag niya sa akin ng lumabas siya sa kwarto."Gusto mo ba si Bong?"Mahinang tanong niya.
Natigil ako sa tanong na 'yon.Kinikilig ako sa mga ginagawa niya,oo.Pero ewan there's still a part of me na 'di ko ma explain.Maybe because I'm scared to fall again.Or iniisip kong ginagawa lang akong sangkap ni Bong para makalimutan ang pinakamamahal niyang babae.
Marahas akong umiling-iling para sabihing hindi ko siya gusto."No,I don't like him"
"If that's what you say so,okay"Kabit-balikat na sabi niya habang abala na sa cellphone niya.
"Sara"Tawag sa akin ni Sam habang pinupunasan ang kamay niya"I heard your answer and It won't buy me"
Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay at tinignan niya naman ako ng seryoso.
"Base on how you smile when you receive his messages,it says that you like him.Always remember that action speaks louder.Wala namang masama do'n"Seryosong sabi niya sa akin habang tinitignan ako sa mata as if like she's reading what I am thinking.
Bumuntong hininga ako at umiling ulit"No,I don't,I don't like him"Sambit ko bago umalis at pumunta sa kwarto ko.
Pagka-bukas ko ng wifi agad nag notif. ang message sa akin ni Bong.
Ferdinand_Jr.:Did you received the food?
Do'n ko lang naalala na natapos na lang kaming kumain 'di pa din ako nakakapag-pasalamat sa kan'ya.
Inday_Sara:Oo,Salamat ng marami.You also don't need to do it.
Agad naman niya iyong binasa,'di na din umabot nang minuto ang pag-reply niya.
Ferdinand_Jr.:I know you're stress and tired at school,I just want to make sure na makakain ka talaga.
Inday_Sara:Again, I'm not your responsibility Bong.Sugar daddy ka na talaga HAHA.
Ferdinand_Jr.:Handa akong i-spoil ka hanggang sa makasal tayo;)
My eyes widened as I saw his reply.What does he mean by that? He's making me dead confused.I'm trying to type a reply but i keep erasing it at the end I just decided not to reply him.

I was just scrolling through my phone,nagpapa-antok.But a post from Mans caught my attention.
It was a picture of him,naka-akbay siya sa babaeng 'di katangkaran pero maganda at halatang mabait.It was captioned "Happy 1st Anniversary My Love❤️"
They looked cute in the photo,bagay sila.'Yon lang ang nasabi ko.But no matter how cute they are,my heart shattered into pieces,again.Yes,I still love him even we broke up 2 years ago.
Napansin ko ding naka-like din si Bong sa photo na 'yon.Making me confused again kase sa pagkaka-alam ko 'di naman sila close or magka-kilala.Kaya tinignan ko ang profile ng babaeng naka-tag.Liza Araneta,that was her name.
Her surname is quit familiar,My mouth formed a "O" when I remembered her,siya 'yong anak ng successful businessman dito sa Pilipinas!,she is also studying in New York same school sila ni Mans.Bong and Liza are mutual friends.Wala akong ibang photo aside of her pictures holding medals and certificates,with her parents and the newest was with Mans.
But I was still confused,Kaya umandar ang pagiging detective ko.I decided to stalk Bong,As I was scrolling through his feed napansin ko ang isang photo,It was just him holding a can of beer at halatang lasing na.Naka-comment ang pinsan niyang si Martin.
Martin_R.:Sabing 'di makaka-tulong ang alak para makalimutan mo si Liza_Araneta.HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Madami ang nag-reply sa comment ng pinsan n'ya puro emojing tumatawa at sari-saring reaksyon.
Ah,so Liza was his ex.Ang babaeng nanakit daw sa kan'ya ang babaeng naging rason para magka-roon ng iba't ibang girlfriend sa bawat buwan.
Agad akong bumalik sa photo na post ni Mans,naka comment na si Bong do'n.
Ferdinand_Jr.: Congrats Both.
I don't know what to react on his comment.Pinatay ko na lang ang cellphone ko at balak ng matulog.Pero na uhaw ako.
Paglabas ko agad akong tinignan ng dalawa.Pero dumiretso ako sa ref. para kumuha ng tubig.Dahil 'yon na man talaga nag plano ko.
"Mapapa-inom ka talaga ng tubig pag nakita mong nakapag-anniversay na lang si Ex, habang ikaw wala pa din kahit ni fling"Natatawang sabi ni Rye kaya sinamaan ko siya ng tingin.
"Oh,why are you looking at me like that?"Ma angas na tanong niya.
Tinaasan ko lang siya ng kilay at padabog na na-upo sa couch.Bumuntong hininga ako at ina-ngat ang ulo.
"Ex ba ni Bong si Li,.....Sino nga 'yon Sam"?Iritadong tanong niya,siguro dahil hindi niya magawang maalala ang pangalan ng babaeng gf ni Mans.
"Liza, maybe ex niya nga 'yon.I stalked Bong minutes ago.And saw a photo of him holding a canned beer and naka-comment si Martin ng "Sabing di mo makakalimutin si Liza sa alak"Something like that"Sabi ni Sam habang ini-inat ang mga braso.
"Wow, detective huh?"Natatawang sambit ni Rye.
Napa-iling na lang ako,pareho talaga kami ni Sam mga detective or should I say chismosa?
Binalot kami ng katahimikan at sabay napa-buntong hininga.
"Still love him?"Awkward na tanong ni Sam.
"Maybe?"Patanong na sagot ko sa kan'ya kaya natawa silang dalawa.
"I'll take that as a Yes.....kase diba kung di mo na mahal ang tao automatic Hindi ko na siya mahal dapat ang sagot mo"Seryosong wika ni Sam.
"Matulog na nga lang tayo,bukas na natin pag-usapan 'to"Sabi ulit ni Sam sa akin habang nginitian ako.
We hug each other before going to our perspective rooms.Tinignan ko muna ang cellphone ko dahil nakalimutan ko na namang mai-off ang wifi nun.
I noticed a message from Bong,again.
Ferdinand_Jr.:Ui?Did you fall asleep? Kikiligin na ba ako neto?Iisipin ko na talagang you feel peace everytime we're talking.Joke HAHA.Kahit tulog ka na still GoodNight and Sweet Dreams<3

Reincarnated As A Benevolent Tyrant
NOTICE: This story is under rewrite. New novel has been published. Search **RE: Tyranny** in Royalroad for the new novel.Link- Re: Tyranny Thank You! ------------------------ "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." What a brilliant line, isn't it? James was a boy who had nothing to worry about. A happy family, a nice childhood. What's more to ask? But one day, everything changed. He lost everything in the blink of an eye. The only thing left for him were the memories and dreams of the past. Trying to cope up with the loss, he cut all ties with the outside world and became a shut-in, having no one left to call his own or to rely upon. There was nothing left for him in this world, but still he lived and soon found a purpose in his life, which lead him to create something that could change the world.And on the very day when his dream project was about to come to the light, he lost his life, trying to save a little girl from an unfortunate accident. "Will I ever be remembered...? I wish... someone would." These were the last word James mumbled before his conscious faded into darkness. But his life didn't end there, as he is transmigrated into the body of an arrogant, worthless Duke's son in some unknown land with no memories about who is or any idea about where he is. In an era of political turmoil and civil strife, the Duke's son is forced to prove his worth for inheriting the title. Will he be able to accept the new reality and prove himself by leading this country into a prosperous future? Or will he cease to the pressure of his past and lose everything once more? Disclaimer: This is not a power-fantasy or a 'feel-good' story. If you feel a protagonist should never lack agency (especially in early story) or make compromises because of difficult circumstances, then this fiction is probably not for you. It is a story that delves deep into real world sociological/psychological subjects and explores many topics of gray morality. I wrote it because I like stories that make me think more about the world around us, not to detach myself from reality. Some aspects you can expect based on the tags include:- [Kingdom Building]: political drama, geopolitical/geoeconomic strategy- [Army Building]: massive battles featuring in-depth planning, combined arms, and operational logistics- [Identity Crisis]: someone translated into a whole different world having to rebuild their identity and life aims The story starts off slowly, more like a slice of life than action-adventure, but I guarantee you it will get there. For those who want to skip the slow part, start from Chapter - 35 (Beginning of The End) (The whole Disclaimer section is copied from Aorii as I am too busy writing the complete story.) And yes, just for General Knowledge, James will become OP throughout the story. He is not some legendary guy who will pull out Excalibur & conquer the entire world. Update Schedule - One chapter a day. This novel is also available on Scribble Hub. And again, I humbly thank you for reading it. I hope you stick throughout the journey.
