《Questionable Love》10
Advertisement
Tatlong buwan na ang naka-lipas at wala pa din siyang palya sa pagpapadalawa sa 'kin ng mga messages at pagkain na may post note na nakalagay.Minsan agahan,minsan tanghalian o hapunan.May schedule pa 'yan.
Wala na din akong naririnig na may dine-date siya bukod sa 'kin.Palagi din siyang nagpapakita sa 'kin sa cafeteria o 'di kaya mag-aantay siya sa gilid ng classroom namin.
Kapag gabi naman ay tatawag siya na 'di ko sasagutin kaya ang naging routine niya na lang ang mag voice message,kakantahan o mag-kwe-kwento lang siya sa 'kin.
But after all 'di pa din ako sigurado.I'm fucking confused.Mans and I already broke up 3 years ago and he already have a girlfriend.But me?Still stuck in our past,Ayaw kong sagutin si Bong ng confused pa ako,I want to give my yes to him kung sigurado na akong wala na akong nararamdaman para kay Mans.But I can tell na unti-unti na akong nahuhulog kay Bong, hinahanap ko na ang ngiti at tawa n'ya.
"Hey,Sara"Natatawang pag-tawag sa akin ni Bong.Nandito kami ngayon sa gilid ng dalampasigan kung saan tanaw na tanaw mo ang pag-lubog ng araw.
"Why?"
"Wala,kanina ka pa kase tahimik.Is something bothering you?"Nag-alalang tanong niya.
Agad naman akong umiling at nginitian siya."Don't mind me"
"How's school?"Tanong niya ulit habang pinagmamasdan nagbabagong kulay na langit.
"You're acting like a dad"Natatawang sagot ko sa kan'ya.
Tinawanan niya lang ako at inabutan ng take out naming Jollibee.
"Teka nga,you always send me food"Sabi ko sa kan'ya habang binubuksan ang burger.
He gave me confused look that's why I continued talking"I appreciate it,okay?But....uhmmm Are you planning to bring me to hospital?"Natatawang sabi ko sa kan'ya bago kumagat sa burger.
"What do you mean?"Takang tanong niya habang salubong ang kilay.
Tumawa ako at uminom na muna ng tubig"You always send me food and it's all from restaurants and fast good.And you started it 3 months ago.I mean fastfood and restaurants food were not healthy if you eat those always"
Tumango tango siya at ngumiti ng tipid"Hey,I was just kidding.Uhmn I'm just wondering if 'lagi bang galing restaurant ang kina-kain mo?"Takang tanong ko sabay tingin sa gawi niya.

"H-hindi......M-madalas ako ang nagluluto ng kina-kain ko...Uhh d-do you want to uh"Utal na sagot niya at 'di na tinapos ang sinabi.
"Anong do you want to?"
Huminga siya ng malalim at umiwas ng tingin sa 'kin"I want to.....cook for you.P-pero baka kase 'di mo magustuhan kaya ayon o-order na lang ako para sa 'yo"Nahihiyang sabi niya habang naka-hawak ang isang kamay sa batok.
"Hey, I'm not judgemental"Pagtanggi ko agad
"'di naman sa ini-isip na judgemental ka"natatawang sabi niya."L-lets g-go to my condo?"Patanong na pag-aya niya habang namumula ang t'inga.
"H-huh?What are planning to d--"
"Hey,I just to want to cook for you" Natatawang pag-putol niya sa sasabihin ko.
Hiyang hiya ako sa sinabi ko!
"Oh,I see.....L-lets go?"Nahihiyang pag-aya ko.
Tumayo na ka-agad kaming dalawa at bago pa ako makata-likod kinuhanan ko muna ng litrato ang magandang sunset.Pagharap ko kay Bong ay taranta niyang binaba ang kan'yang cellphone.
"T-tara?"Tumango lang ako at nag-simula ng mag-lakad.
Nagpa-tugtog na lang siya ng kanta habang nasa byahe kami para 'di kami mabalot ng katahimikan.Panay ang pag-nakaw niya ng tingin sa 'kin at iiwas din ka agad pag-lilingunin ko siya.
" Oh I used to say,I would never fall inlove again until I found her"Pag-sabay niya sa kanta na naging dahilan para bumilis ang pag-tibok ng puso ko.
"I said I would never fall unless it's you I fall into,I was lost within the darkness but then I found her.I found you"Pagpapatuloy pa niya sa kanta at ng kantahin niya ang huling parte ay lumingon siya sa akin dahilan para mas lalong bumilis ang pag-tibok ng puso ko na ani moy gusto ng lumabas.
Sure I heard him singing already a lot of times but that was just all in VM's!Ibang iba pala talaga sa personal.Damn,Napaka-pogi niya kumanta.Nakapag pogi points siya do'n ah.
"Hey?Pangit ba ang boses ko?"Naka-ngusong tanong niya sa akin kaya natawa ako.Napansin niya sigurong naka-titig na ako sa kan'ya
Marahas akong umiling sabay tanggi"Hindi ah, actually ang ganda pala talaga ng boses mo"
Agad siyang umiwas ng tingin at pilit pinipigilan ang ngiti pero halatang halata ang pamumula ng t'inga niya.Umiwas na lang din ako ng tingin dahil ang cute niya pag gumaganon siya.

Nang ma i park na niya ang kotse agad na kaming bumaba at nagtungo sa elevator.Kaming dalawa lang ang tao don at kitang-kita ko ang pulang-pula niyang pisnge at t'inga.
Hanggang ngayon pilit niya pa ding pinipigilan ang pag-ngiti.Ipipikit niya ang mata niya at hihinga ng malalim,gano'n ang 'lagi niyang ginagawa hanggang sa maka-rating kami sa 4th floor kung saan ang unit niya.
Agad siyang lumabas at naunang mag-lakad,I let out a short giggle because of his cute actions.Damn it,baka bumigay na ako neto ngayon.
Huminto siya sa isang pinto at pinag-buksan ako,malaki na ang mga ngiti niya.
"Uh,W-welcome to my condo"Natatawang sabi niya.
Agad ko namang inilibot ang tingin ko sa unit niya.Black and white ang pintura,ang linis din ng unit niya walang bakas ng kahit anong kalat o basura,amoy na amoy mo din ang panglalaking pabango.Mayroong dalawang kwarto at isang library.
Agad siyang nagtungo sa kitchen kaya sumunod naman ako ka agad.Kinuha niya ang isang apron at sinout 'yon.
"Uh,ma upo ka na lang kaya muna doon sa may couch.You can watch netflix if you want."Sabi niya sa akin habang itina-tali ang apron.
"Wag na,Okay na ako dito"Agad na pagtanggi ko.
"Okay,What do you want to eat?"Nahihiyang tanong niya.
"Mmnnnn,I want to try your favorite"Naka-ngising sagot ko.
"Sigurado ko?"
Tumango lang ako at nginitian ulit siya.Agad siyang kumuha ng mga ingredients, familiar lahat ng ingredients na kinukuha niya mukhang lulutuin niya ang paborito ko!
"Hey,Ang sabi ko 'yong paborito mo ang lutuin mo"Salubong na kilay na sabi ko.
"H-huh? I'm going to cook my favorite dish"Takang sabi niya.
"You're going to cook kare-kare right?Wait..."My mouth formed an "O" when I realized that it's also his favorite!Kase hindi ko naman nakwento na paborito ko ang kare-kare!
His mouth also formed like mine and smiled widely"Wooow,We have the same favorite"Manghang wika niya habang tumango-tango.
Ako na ngayon ang nagpipigil ng ngiti habang siya ay malaki na ang ngiti at nagsisimula na sa pag-hihiwa.
"I can help"Pagmamagandang loob ko ng maka-recover na.
Agad siyang umiling at nagpa-tuloy"Just sit,okay?You don't need to help"Naka-ngiting sambit niya.
Habang pinagmamasdan ko ang mga kilos niya 'di ko maiwasang mapa-ngiti at mapa-hanga sa kan'ya.He looked so handsome while preparing and kitang-kita naman na sanay na nga siya sa pagluluto.
I wonder if gan'to ba siya sa mga babaeng nililigawan niya noon?
"Are always like this?"Biglaang tanong ko out of curiosity.
"What do you mean?"Sabi niya habang pinapa-gana ang stove.
"I mean gan'to ka ba talaga manligaw?"Agad siyang natigilan sa tanong ko pero agad naman siyang sumagot.
Umiling lang siya at ipinag-patuloy ang ginagawa.
"It may looked weird pero dahil sa'yo natuto akong mag-luto"Biglang sabi niya kaya nagsalubong ang kilay ko dahil sa 'di ko siya na intindihan.Napansin naman niyang naguguluhan ako kaya umayos siya at humarap sa 'kin."Don't mind it"
Kahit naguguluhan 'di ko na lang inusisa ang sinabi niyang 'yon.
"Liza Araneta"Wala sa sariling pagbanggit ko sa pangalan na 'yon.
Agad niya akong hinarap gamit ang nagtatakang mata.Bumuntong hininga ako at tipid na ngumiti sa kan'ya.
"Siya 'yong Ex mo 'di ba?"Awkward kong tanong.
Hunugot siya ng hangin at tipid na tumango"And Mans Carpio is also your ex?"
Tipid na tango lang din ang nabigay kong sagot sa kan'ya.
"Sara.... I'm not courting you para makalimutan ang nakaraan namin ni Liza.I already moved on a years ago.I'm courting you right now because I love you,mahal kita.Wag mo sanang isipin na nililigawan kita dahil gusto kong mag move on mula kay Liza.Again mahal kita kaya kita nililigawan ngayon"Mahabang paliwanag niya sa akin habang seryoso ang mga mata.
"B-bong"I was speechless gusto kong mag-salita pero umurong ang dila ko.
"Hindi kita minamadali......I know that you're still in your process and I can wait,okay?Kaya kitang hintayin kahit umabot pa 'yan ng ilang taon."Seryosong sabi niya bago ako nginitian na hindi umabot sa mata.

Aevalin and The Age of Readventure
Below you can find the blurbs for each arc of Aevalin and The Age of Readventure. Aevalin: Klause Schuar the Grand Bastard (Aevalin and the Age of Readventure, #1) Klause Schuar, the Grand Bastard who destroyed the world in his pursuit of magical power, believed to be a only legend by some, is a horror of the distance past. Though seven-hundred years after the Age of Darkness, the world is birthing itself anew—the dark magicks have receded and the festering plague that extinguished entire kingdoms is no more. The roads have been opened and regular travel between nations is now possible. The newly formed guilds are active. Where monster hunting and dungeon diving are lucrative trades, long dead kingdoms are being rebuilt in this glorious age of rediscovery. This is the story of Arlian Brennovo, lord and commander of the City Watch during the last days before the Age of Darkness—before the Age of Readventure! * Glorious New Age (Aevalin and The Age of Readventure, #2) Yoreno Brendara, a relatively sheltered noble, has joined his father in the mythical kingdom of Aevalin with his mother and sister. His father has arranged for him to train under Dantera Brennovo, a descendant of the legendary Arlian Brennovo who fought in the Grand Bastard’s war against King Balthazar and his High Mage to save the world. Now Yoreno will become an adventurer, fighting alongside a successful lady in arms—and a rich one at that. It is a grand opportunity for Yoreno to become a knight of Aevalin and to participate in the glorious new Age or Readventure! * Knight of Aevalin (Aevalin and The Age of Readventure, #3) After being conferred with a knighthood, Yoreno plans to enjoy the Age of Readventure festival with his friends and mentor. During the festivities Yoreno witnesses a plot to assassinate king Branlin. Dantera Brennovo, top-tier adventurer, knight of Aevalin and lady of rank, is charged by the king to quietly uncover the plot. As her newly knighted protégé, Yoreno must assist Dantera in her efforts to keep the king and his new Age of Readventure alive. * Errant Adventurer (Aevalin and the Age of Readventure, #4) Having unexpectedly received Dantera’s lands and titles after her banishment, Yoreno places Yorinius in command of the Roaming Lions. Together with his friends, Yoreno and the members of the Emblazoned Party set out in search of Dantera as she pursues King Branlin’s assassin far outside of the safety found within the borders of Aevalin. * Kingdom of the Blue Dragon (Aevalin and the Age of Readventure, #5)Having survived capture and escape from the barbarous tribal stronghold in the hills, Yoreno and his friends set forth with Dantera to scout out the assassin clan responsible for King Branlin’s death. Weather they have the necessary strength to challenge the assassins, they do not know. Meanwhile Yoreno’s close proximity to Dantera continues to distract him from their quest at hand.
