《I can't make you love me》Chapter 8
Advertisement
gulat na sabi ni Alexah when I confronted her about what I discovered.
I'm not overreacting or what. I was just surprised by what I found out. I've been in college for almost 2 months, and then I just found out. Okay, fine! I have a crush on him. I mean, who wouldn't? He's attractive and with oozing sex appeal? Pero hanggang doon lang 'yon. Swear!
I just realized it kanina habang nasa byahe at inalala lahat ng tagpo naming dalawa. Kahit naman kasi ako hindi makapaniwala na magugustuhan ko 'yon in just a few weeks or not even a week?! And does it mean that love really move in mysterious way?
I rolled up my eyes at umayos ng upo sa sofa. Kasalukuyan kaming nasa sala at na pag desisyonan naming manood ng movies tonight kesa mag-aral for upcoming midterm exam. Chill now, panic tomorrow.
kibit balikat kong sagot.
Ngumuso lang ako at ngumuya ng pop corn na binili ko kanina sa labas ng apartment.
Napatingin ako sa kanya.
'As if naman na hindi ko tinatawag na kuya si Jeremiah.' I mentally retorted.
Natatanga ko siyang tinignan at tumawa.
natatawang sabi niya at mahinang hinila ang naka bugkos kong buhok.
sagot ko sa kanya habang kinukuha ang mga basura ng pinagkainan namin sa mini table at tumayo para itapon sa basurahan.
tumatawang sigaw niya mula sa sala.
Ngumisi lang ako at umiling. Nag hugas ako ng kamay bago bumalik sa sala. Inabot ko ang remote control na nasa ibabaw ng mini table dahil patapos na ang pang apat na movie na pinapanuod namin.
biglang naiinis na reklamo ni Alexah habang may kung anong tinitingnan sa cellphone niya.
Napairap siya at tumingin sa'kin.
Nanunuya ko siyang nginisihan.
Sinalampak ni Alexah ang katawan sa sofa at parang bata na sumipa sipa.

Marahas na napa singhap si Alexah at napaayos ng pagkakaupo sa sofa. She shot me a glare kaya natawa lang ako.
napabuntong hininga sya.
hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko.
parang nandidiring sagot ni Alexah kaya humagalpak ako ng tawa.
" naniningkit ang mga matang sabi ni Alexah.
Itinaas ko ang dalawa kong kamay na para bang susuko at ngumisi.
putol ko sa sasabihin niya.
Umirap naman siya,
" naiiling na sabi n'ya.
I don't know what's the thing that make us get into serious talks like this. We always talk about jokes and cunning things in life since ever. But I like this side of Alexah, she's seeing and acknowledging the faded colors of her life. Her perception is broad and wide.
sabi niya nang humarap siya sa akin at inabot ang dalawang kamay ko.
" nakangiti niyang sagot.
Mahinang pinisil ko ang kamay niyang nakahawak sakin at napabuntong hininga.
"
Natawa sya at sinapak pa 'ko sa braso. Ngumisi lang ako at sinapak din siya.
nang-aasar kong sabi sa kanya.
Nanunuya niya akong nginisihan at sinundot sundot ang tagiliran ko.
sikmat niya.
Tumawa lang ako samantalang naiinis na tumayo si Alexah mula sa sofa at tinungo ang kwarto niya.
Narinig ko pang tumawa sya bago niya tuluyang sinirado ang pinto ng kwarto niya. Tumayo ako at naiiling na tumatawa habang inaayos ang sala at nag hugas ng mga plato bago pumasok ng sariling kwarto.
Malalim akong bumuntong hininga nang makahiga na 'ko at wala sa isip na nakatulala na naka tingin sa kisame ng kwarto ko.
Admiring someone is somehow on my lineup of life, but getting into commitment, is not on my priorities in life. I know to myself that love moves in mysterious way, whether you're ready or not. What I feel towards kuya Jeremiah is not deep and passionate, just enough to handle, like a piece of cake.
But I don't know about Alexah towards kuya Pierre. Love, maybe? Argh, that's too fast.
But I think, love is starting to hit us?
🦋: Happy New Year everyone, let's welcome 2023 with strength, courage, love, and positive thoughts!

Before I fall even deeper for the two of you, I need to know that there's a future there. I need to know because if I fall any more for the both of you... Well, fuck. I don't know if there's any coming back from that, Ains." He finishes on a ragged breath. My mouth drops in surprise as I watch him watch my reaction. I curl my mouth into a smile and nod, reaching up to cup his cheek."You're not just an option to me. You are already a priority. I swear." I feel tears prick my eyes and the wide smile he gives me makes my heart flutter with affection."Really?" He asks and I nod. Cover made by @ViaAlyssaNicole
