"I told you, i will not date anyone." dire-diretso lang ako papunta sa parking lot. I can't believe Dad is introducing a girl again after i refused several girls already. I don't wanna be rude but I am really not interested to anyone else.
"Come on son, kakain lang naman kayo." and why would i eat with her? "nakakahiya sa magulang niya." i stopped when i reached my car.
Hinarap ko sya, "That was so unfair dad. Alam niya and she didn't refuse. So that means okay lang sa kanya. You should have told them the possibility that i will just walk out."
"Ano bang problema mo sa mga pinapa kilala ko sayo? They are beautiful and i always make sure that they are also smart. Everyone of them are interested, you have the advantage." I am so pissed right now but i am controlling it dahil ama ko ang nasa harapan ko.
"And that is the reason dad. They don't even know what kind of a person i am and yet they are interested. Wala akong gusto okay? stop introducing me to different girls whom i am not interested with." I said. Dad looks defeated, he must have realized now that what he is doing is useless. I didn't even ask him to do this.
"fine, just eat with us then i won't do that again." I analyze his expression. "Never again. I feel bad for all the girls you rejected." I left out a chuckle. wala naman kasing nag-sabi sa kanya na ihanap niya ako ng babae.
I made my mind that i will eat with them pero bago pa man kami makapag lakad ay nag ring ang phone ko. "You can go first." I said pero umiling siya.
"You'll run away, i'll wait for you."
Hindi ko na siya sinagot nang makita ko kung sino ang tumatawag, it's allison.
(Where are you?) She asked. I know i am smiling like a fool right now but can you blame me? the woman i love called me and now i am hearing her voice. You can only wish that you're in my position.
"I'll be having my lunch with dad." I answered. dad asked who it is and i mouthed her name.
(okay okay, i thought you're free today. Mag eenroll na ako e, sabay sana tayo. Bye, take care. Hi mo nalang ako kay tito.) But of course i wouldn't let that happen. Not only because i can be with her but also because there is a big possibility that we will be on the same section and that would be a lot better. Sharing the same corridor isn't enough, i want to be on the same room with her.
"I'll fetch you, dad said i should enroll now. hintayin mo na ako, sabay na tayo." nakatingin lang si dad sakin, he know i can never say no to allison and that i will do everything to be with her.
When she hang up, i wave goodbye to my father. "It's allison how can i stop you?" itinulak niya ako papasok sa sasakyan ko. "You're unbelievable. You can do everything for her and i am close to thinking that you'll choose her over me and yet you can't bring yourself to court her. Make a move already, can't you?" frustration is all over his face. Siya talaga ang pinaka nag aalala sa lovelife ko. My dad is cool, but sometimes he is too much.
"I'll go now, baka hindi na ako hintayin non umalis mag isa." He frown before shutting his eyes close.
"You're annoying." He said before looking at his watch." It will only take you one and a half hour if you'll drive safely so do so. Hindi siya mawawala pero pwedeng ikaw mawala kapag inuna mo ang kalandian mo."
Despite not having a mother as i grow up, dad was able to fill the place of a mother. He isn't just a father, he is also my best friend. i will lie if i say he knows everything that i am doing but he knows almost everything. What's embarrassing is i already cried in front of him when i realized that i'm in love with allison but i can't do anything since i'm afraid to take risk.
Allison is like a daughter to him since she is the only woman I introduced to him. Wala na akong kaibigan na babae bukod sa kanya.
When i fell in love with allison, i didn't recognize it right away. lumaki kami ng magkakasama kaya akala ko ay normal lang na palagi ko siyang hinahanap. Hanggang sa sobrang napalapit siya kay Asher. the both of them are the closest. When everyone of us are not gathered, expect them to be together. They are literally bestfriend and i understand why. They both compete academically, they are on the same age and even on the same month of birthday, their parents are the closest. Bago pa kami nagkakilala ay magkaibigan na sila. I got jealous, when i was young, i thought its because she's really just my favorite since she's the only female friend that i have pero nung nasa tamang edad na ako i realized that no one cry seeing both of his friend together. I just want to be in asher's place, i want her to share the same stories she share with him that always make them laugh when they remember it even after an hour.
Allison isn't just a beautiful lady who excel academically. I hope everyone can look at her with my perspective and maybe then, people will realize why she is love by all the people that surrounds her.
Hininto ko ang sasakyan ko sa harapan ng condo niya. I don't know how much i sprayed perfume on myself because i only stopped when i saw her on her way. She looks good as always. I appreciate how simple she dress herself, that made her more pleasing. After all, you don't buy fashion, she really looks good with whatever she wear.
Pagka sakay niya ay may kinalkal agad siya sa bag niya. "This is for you." sabi niya bago iabot ang isang bracelet.
"Saan mo galing to?" It's cute ang ipinagtataka ko ay kung saan niya galing.
"I made this. It does not look beautiful or expensive so i'll understand if you will not be wearing it but atleast keep it." I am just looking at it. You will never see the same pattern anywhere and she made it. That somehow, made it expensive. "I was just really bored and i want to do something so nag hanap ako ng pwedeng gawin. I saw a store on social media selling the set of materials to to create bracelet, sobrang mura so i tried it. I wish i didn't bought 3 sets cause look at the quality." She complained that made me chuckle. Allison normally doesn't talk much and when she does, it could be because she's excited, frustrated o kaya naman ay may importante siyang sasabihin. In normal occasion tahimik lang siya.
She look angelic but with an intimidating aura. I dont know if that is how you explain it but that is her. She doesn't have the friendly aura, some even find it hard to approach her.
"Stop looking at it, mas nahihiya na ako." She said while we're walking on the corridor. I can't help it, it fits perfectly on my wrist.
"Aren't you aware that most of the products now aren't expensive because of their materials? Some products are only expensive because of the brand name so you should definitely start your own business with this." sabi ko na dahilan ng pagtulak niya sa akin. I am not joking, I love this.
" You always have the best reaction but this time you're too much. You're overreacting." she said, laughing.
"But i love it. I can ever wear different designs of this everyday and call it 'style'." mas lalo siyang natawa sa sinabi ko. And right at this moment, she got me again. I can't help but to stare at her, she's so vibrant, so beautiful.
I always wonder what she has that captured my heart. I see everything about her as beautiful and I can't point out what i love the most. I am seriously deeply in love with her to the point that i am not interested to anyone anymore.
In a room full of arts or even in a place with a nice scenery, i know to myself that I will still choose to look at her.
