"I like you!!"
Huminto naman sya at ng lumingon sya dun ko lang narealize na nakakahiya yung ginawa ko. As if it's not enough to let him know how I feel that I let the whole world knew about it.
I felt my cheeks heat up as I met his eyes habang naglalakad pabalik sa crossing at tumawid para makalapit sakin. Napalunok na lang ako ng nasa harap ko na sya.
"Ano nga yung sinigaw mo, Freya?"
"I said...I like you" I repeated in a lower voice na hindi makatingin sa kanya.
Kanina lang sinisigaw ko pa pero ngayon kulang na lang ibulong ko sa kanya yun. Humakbang pa sya lalo palapit sakin na mas lalong nagpalakas ng kaba ko.
He smiled at me and I can already feel my knees turning into jello. I really like this guy in front of me that with just one smile, my world suddenly stops in split second.
"I know it took you a lot of courage to say that, Freya. I can't help but feel proud of you right now"
"W-Wala ka man lang bang isasagot sa sinabi ko?"
"Silly girl. You're not asking me a question, Freya. How am I supposed to answer a statement?"
"How about—do you...feel the same way?"
I can see his deep expressive eyes and that smile I can't help liking about him. He brushed his hand on top my head.
"I like you too"
I stare at his smiling eyes as if I'm enchanted. I never thought this kind of emotions exist. It does feel a lot different than before.
"—but only like a sister. Does it count?"
"Eh?"
Pakiramdam ko that instant, someone snapped a finger in front of my face to wake me up from a fairytale dream.
"I-I don't think so"
"I think I owe you an apology, Freya. Sorry if I like you but not the same way like you do. Let's stay as friends parin kung okay lang"
I bit my lower lip saka ngumiti sa kanya. It doesn't matter pala if a bad boy or good guy dumped you. Either way kasi it doesn't change the fact that you're still dumped.
"Mmm" I nodded and smile. "Let's still be good friends"
I wave at him saka tumalikod na at naglakad patungo sa opposite side pauwi. Gustong gusto ko talaga sya but there's no way he can like me back.
"Freya!"
I heard his voice behind me. Hinintay ko muna syang makalapit sakin.
"Ano yun?"
"Do you know how to tame a good guy?"
"Tame a good guy? How can one possibly do that?"
"That's for you to find out"
"Eh? For what reason?"
"So we can stop being friends and start going out"
He walk away leaving me hanging. Mas mahirap pa yata hanapan ng sagot ang tanong na yun kesa sa pre-calculus namin. Pwede bang i-apply ang Newton's law dito? Baka naman probability theory pwede?
How can one possibly tame a good guy? Is that even possible to begin with?
