Meeting the Stranger-AGAIN?

chapter 27: Breath

Neil's pov

Medyo matagal din ata akong nawala sa story na to ah.

Well I'm back at hmmmmm...

MISS KO NA SI JIEE!

hahaha :)

Palabas na ako sa room ko nung isang araw ng biglang nahagilap nanaman ng aking mga mata si Jiee kasama ni Allan.

Wag mainggit Neil! Wag mainggit!

Kaso paglingon ko ulit eh nakita ko na lang na nakayakap na si Jiee kay Allan.

<\3 Awtsuu! Bakit ganito? Masakit!

Hinayaan ko na lang ang moment nila ng paglingon ko eh may babaeng papalapit na sa akin.

Hindi ko inasahan to. Am I dreaming?

I guess no.

Niyakap niya ang aking braso so parang nag-cling siya ng arms niya sa akin.

I can't move! Is this for real?

Actually it is!

My first love who ran away is actually here right beside me acting as if nothing bad happened to our "relationship". I mean not that serious one but still we loved each other in the past.

What should I do? Am I going to act as if I didn't felt any heart aches?

My world stops for a while.

I can't think right.

I can't fight myself to feel that I'm inlove with her again. This can't be happening. Not now but I can't fight it.

Neil I miss you. Can we talk?

Hindi ako sumagot. Lumingon ako kung nasaan si Jiee ay nakayakap pa din kay Allan.

Sige.

Yun na lang ang nasabi ko at hinila na niya ako paalis. Habang hinihila niya ako, hindi maialis ang tingin ko kay Jiee at Allan.

Parang I feel a little pinch on my heart. And I don't know why.

Back to reality at kasama ko ngayon si Angel dito sa mini park ng school.

She's talking about so many stuffs I can't even understand because of thinking about what I saw lately.

Parang kanina lang gulat na gulat ako na nandito na ulit si Angel pero ngayon naman hindi ako makapaniwala sa nakita ko kanina.

Am I jealous? But why would I ? Right?

Neil? Are you even listening to me?

Uhmm. I'm sorry Angel. What was it again?

Arrggh! Nothing. I just want to ask another chance to prove something to you.

Chance? For what? To prove what?

Last time I check is she left me without even saying just a simple goodbye.

But now that she's back, I would know all the reasons right?

So does she deserve a second chance?

I mean, honestly now that she's in front of me, I just want to hug her tight and tell her I miss her too but there is that something na pumipigil sa akin para gawin ito.

Iniisip ko kung kaya ko na bang magtiwala ulit. I need confirmation first.

Can we talk again later after class? I just need to talk to someone.

Is it Jiee? Well okay,see you later then.

Agad akong tumakbo para hanapin si Jiee kaso hindi ko siya nakita.

Ilang days ko na siyang hindi matsempuhan. Nasa iisang school na nga kami with only one building and yet ang hirap niyang hanapin.

Dumating ang saturday pero hindi ko nanaman naabutan si Jiee. Kasama daw nanaman niya si Allan. What's with them? Are they dating? Bakit hindi nagkwekwento sa akin si Jiee? Nahihiya ba siya? O tinatago niya? What?

Ilang ulit na nga lang akong nagpalusot kay Angel eh.

I need to talk personally to Jiee as soon as possible.

Naglalakad lang ako ngayon sa mini park baka sakaling makita ko si Jiee kasi mahilig siyang tumambay dito.

Kaso wala pa din.

Haixt! Jiee nasaan ka na ba kasi?

I tried to text her to meet me kaso she didn't reply.

Then suddenly.....

Neil! Haaay grabe. Nakakapagod naman. Ang bilis mong maglakad eh.

Jiee!!!!!!! Sa wakas!

Di ko na napigilan at bigla ko na lang siyang nayakap. Naexcite ako eh. Mixed emotions pero mas nangingibabaw yung saya ko na nakita ko ulit siya.

Neil? Anong meron?

Wala lang. I miss you best!

Thank u! I miss you too:)

Diba pwedeng I love you na lang?

Hahahaha! Joke lang. Hindi kami talo nito.

Sorry, I've been very busy these past few days then regular check up again for how many days kasi I was rushed into the hospital nung sat.

Why? Are you okay now? Di ba you're with Allan. I'm gonna kill him, what did he do to you?

OA much o selos much? How did you know that I'm with him? Ikaw ah! Are you stalking me now?

Stalking? Big NO! I was just asking and that's so different from stalking.

Hahaha! Palusot mo accepted. He did nothing, in fact thank him because if he didn't react as OA as you eh siguro 1week pa akong magtatagal sa ospital.

What happened to you ba?

Heart failure again. You know naman na yun di ba?

But why? You have problems with your parents again? Feeling depressed?

Nope! I just felt so much pressure reviewing for the past exams.

Is that so? Well I hope you're ok na talaga.

Yup! So what now? Why did you sent 100 messages to me? I can't reply kasi i'm busy talaga. Sorry best.

Jiee I just want to tell you that.....
