Arrange To You (Tagalog)

Gusto kong magmura at sugurin sila. How could they?! Marahas akong lumingon kay Wayde. Does... he knew all along?

Alam niya ba kung bakit ako nandito sa unang pagkikita palang namin? Does he knew that I'm arrange to someone? Did they planned this all along?

But meeting Diego through the internet to make it here in Punto Sierra is something that I'm not expecting!

"Don't tell me that it's just a coincidence?" I whispered. I leaned my back in the wall. Nanghihina ang mga tuhod ko sa narinig.

I squeeze my eyes to shut, and didn't even bother to listen to their conversation. There's a part of me that wants to defend him. Na mali lang ang rinig ko. Na... hindi plano ang pagkikita namin mula sa umpisa. Nasapo ko ang bibig ko at naramdaman ang pamamasa ng mga kamay ko. When I caressed my cheeks, lone tears escaped my eyes. My eyes became blurry because of sobbing but I couldn't care less. Out of all people, bakit siya pa?

Why did they have to do that?! At bakit... ngayon pa?!

When I heard Roseanna giving her farewell and left the house. There's only one thing that I want to do as of that minute. I closed the space between us, and couldn't think of anything.

Kaagad na dumapo ang pisngi ko sa pisngi niya. But looks like Wayde is already expecting it. His expression remained stoic and cold. Nagmarka rin sa pisngi niya ang pagsampal ko sa kanya. My hand was also hurt because of what I did. "Bakit?" halos hindi na iyon lumabas sa bibig ko.

Walang sagot mula sa kanya.

Nag-angat siya ng tingin sa akin at kung nasa normal na sitwasyon lang kami ay maaasiwa ako sa klase ng tingin na ibinigay niya sa akin. There's a glint of sentiment flickered when he saw me crying. Ano? Masaya na siya?

"Was all of it... planned?" I felt a lump in my throat while waiting for him to answer. Hinampas ko siya nang hindi siya sumagot. My frustration poured when he just looked at me.

Nag-angat ako ng tingin sa ulap at kasabay niyon ang pagbuhos ng malakas na ulan. Great! Fuxcking great! Tila nakikisabay iyon sa bugso ng damdamin ko ngayon. My emotions were all mixed up. Confusion, anger, and answers.

"Answer me!" My voice raised and I didn't hold back the tears that came out. Wala ng rason 'pang pigilan pa iyon. We were already soaked in rain anyway. Nagpapasalamat ako na hindi masyadong mapapansin iyon dahil sa ulan. I would look so pathetic in front of him. Damn it.

"Yes. All of it are planned, got the answer already?" he answered flatly.

Nanlumo ako. Naramdaman ko ang panginginig ng tuhod at gustong bumagsak ang mga iyon. But no, I held myself all together and exchanged him with a sharp looked.

"Bakit? naghihirap kana ba? Kayo ni Roseanna?" hindi ko inaalis ang tingin ko sa kanya. Magsabi kalang at bibigyan pa kita." I saw his jaw clenched while staring at me intently.

The rain is pouring hard, and one of us would be surely sick tomorrow. Naglalabanan kami ng tingin, walang nagpapatalo.

"Wala akong balak na hingan ka, Celestia."

Pagak akong natawa, "then what's with that conversation all about, huh?! Ano? For the sake of money? What did Roseanna asked you to do?" nanginginig ang mga labi kong tanong sa kanya.

His eyes remained on me and folded his arms after while. Ang kaninang puting t-shirt niya ay nagmistula ng maging nipis dahil yumayakap iyon sa maskuladong katawan niya.

"Nakawan kami? planning to make me fall for you? Congratulations cause you already did, you idiot! You fucking let me fall into your trap!" tila nakuha ko ang atensyon niya at naguguluhang tumingin si Wayde sa akin.

At bakit parang gulat na gulat siya? He planned this for hell sake!

"You what?" Hindi makapaniwala niyang sambit.

"Oh, fuck you!" galit kong saad sa kanya. But what he did next left me unguarded. Lumapit siya sa akin at hinawakan ang magkabilang balikat ko.

"You're... inlove with me." It wasn't a question but a statement.

"At ano 'bang pakialam mo? I must be fool inlove with-hmp..." He pulled me closer to him and in those split seconds, he sealed my lips with his. Napako ako sa kinatatayuan ko at hindi gumalaw sa posisyon ko. He caught me off-guard! My eyes widened with what he actually did.

I was holding his shoulder because of shock and afraid that I will slipped. Ang lamig na dala ng hangin ay balewala na sa akin dahil sa ginawa niya. I could feel the softness of his lips hovering mine.

My eyes squeeze shut to feel his kiss. The rain drips between our lips and I can feel his lips biting my lower lip. Tila pinanggigigilan niyang kagatin iyon at mas hinapit pa ang bewang ko papalapit sa kanya.

Gusto kong bumitaw mula sa pagkakahawak niya but myself don't want too. As if it's getting used to his touched and kisses.

"Basta ang mapapayo ko lang, sundin mo ang puso mo pero huwag mong kalimutan gamitin ang utak mo."

Nanumbalik sa alaala ko ang sinabi ni Mang Rene. Can a heart and mind could really work together? Can the mind could really differentiate what's morally right or wrong in this kind situation?

Ilang minutong naglapat ang mga labi naming dalawa bago humiwalay si Wayde. His both hands are still holding my side firmly. Na parang tatakas ako anumang sandali.

"Y-You-" I pointed him when he gives another peck of kiss on my lips. Sa mga sandaling iyon ay nahigit ko na naman ang hininga ko sa ikalawang pagkakataon.

When he seperated his lips from mine. He still has that cold expression which I often see from him. Magulo ang buhok nito at tumatagaktak ang tubig galing ulan patungo sa mukha nito. Nabuhusan naman ako ng malamig na tubig nang maalala ang nangyari kanina.

"Why did you do that?!"

"Do what?" he casually asked.

"Kiss me! Not once, but twice!" galit kong anas.

"You like it," natigilan siya na parang may nakalimutang sabihin. "Let me rephrase it. You loved it." Nanunuyang tugon niya.

Naiinis ko siyang tinignan at pinukolan ng masamang tingin. "No. You fooled us. Uuwi na ako ngayon."

Tumalikod na ako at humakbang papasok sa bahay nang magsalita siya.

"In this hour? Really, huh?" Hindi ako humarap sa kanya at kinuyom ang mga kamay. Why is he acting like nothing just happened?! Na parang hindi niya pinanggigilan ang labi ko kanina!

"Wala kang pake." Dire-diretso ang pagpasok ko sa kwarto at mabilis na sinarado ang pintuan.
