KAILAN ba ako nagsimulang mahumaling kay Tofer?
To be honest, I don't exactly know when it was too. It just came to me in a blink of an eye. Just... One day, I woke up and realized I have strange feelings for my childhood friend.
I was beyond thankful that our parents were quite close. It paved way for a friendship, I sometimes take for granted. I admit that. 'Yong ibang tao, halos pangarap na nila sa buong buhay nila ang makita si Tofer sa personal.
While me... I get to see him whenever I want.
Siguro dahil palagi kaming nagsasama kaya ko siya nagustuhan at some point. If you ask me if I'm obsessed with him, the answer would be no.
I just find him as my happy crush. No intense emotions or whatsoever. Siguro, a part of me asks—What if I am given a chance to let this friendship evolve?
That would be awesome, I think? Hindi ko rin alam. That's also one thing I've been wanting to know. Paano kung nailabas ko na lahat itong nararamdaman ko? What if I let him know about my feelings?
Will he accept it? Will it make it awkward for the both of us? How will he respond?
Those are questions that requires risk in order to be answered.
And I couldn't believe I took that risk just to find out.
"Why do we have to commute? Tsaka sa'n ba kasi tayo pupunta?"
"Basta."
"Sus, ikaw ha! May crush ka sa 'kin 'no? Magde-date ba tayo huh, Belle?" he joked then laughed. Napalo ko tuloy siya do'n. "Aray ano ba! Biro lang eh!"
I sighed as his mocking voice repeatedly played in my head like a broken disc. Date? Is it possible for us to date?
Ilang saglit lang ang lumipas ay nakahanap na rin kami ng taxi. Nauna siyang pumasok at sumunod naman ako. His face paints curiosity as to where we are going.
As for me, there's nothing really special as to where we'll go. Nagpa-reserve lang ako sa isang restaurant para makapag-dinner. What's significant now—at least for me, is my confession. I am planning to tell him what I feel for him tonight.
"Sa'n tayo, sir?" tanong ni manong driver.
Tinignan lang ako ni Tofer habang naninigkit ang mga mata niya.
"Ah, dito po tayo manong." I handed the driver a card of the restaurant where it had its address on it. Agad ding pumindot-pindot si manong sa GPS tsaka nag-umpisa nang mag-maneho.
It was a thirty-minute drive along a semi-traffic road. Within the whole ride, Tofer was the only one talking. Panay oo o tango lang ang ibinibigay ko sa kaniya. Heck. Deep inside my mind, kanina pa ako nagpa-formulate ng sasabihin mamaya.
