And We Talked.

Finally, the regular season is here again.

I was back in the office, and so does Sonny. My co-workers were teasing us all throughout the day. I was mocking a fury, and he was merely smiling and laughing.

Lunch break came and all of us were watching on the TV in Sonny's "cubicle", when he blurted out something that puzzled me.

"Cath, hindi ba ang I love you sa tagalaog Mahal Kita?" Sonny said.
"Errr....yes." I retorted. "So?"
"Wala". He replied.

5:00 p.m.
He was about to go home. He was waiting for a bus ride when he saw me near the convenience store. "Cath, where are you going?"
"Store."
"What'll you do?" he asked.
"I'll buy some drinks. Wanna join?"
"Ok. Sure."

The two of us went to the store. I gave him some drinks. Then we had some chat, but we never talked about the last time we kissed or anything about us.

"Musta na kayo ng boyfriend mo?" Sonny asked.
"Ok lang."
"Magpapakasal na ba kayo?"
"Tsk. Etchos ko lang yun.Katulad ngayon, magtatrabaho siya sa Pampanga, LDR kami, so hindi ko alam kung ano mangyayari."
"Mahal na mahal ka niya siguro ano? Hindi ka naman niya siguro lolokohin."
"Tsk. Alam mo ba na 3 beses na niya akong niloko?"
"Hindi nga?!" he blurted out, "kapal naman ng mukha nun."
"Oo nga Sonny. Matigas lang talaga ang bungo ko.Masakit yung ikalawang beses. Dun ako natuto. Pero kung uulitin niya ulit, talagang hindi na ako babalik sa kanya. Ayoko na. Kaya ko na siyang iwanan." I just can't tell him that I am still in pain even if 2 years already passed since that event, that I still suffer every night of a little fury and a little pain.
"May nangyari na ba sa inyo?"
"Wala. May usapan kami," I lied. Why should I tell the truth?

Then we talked more.
I was about to tell him that during the Christmas vacation, I missed him for no reason, when he bid goodbye kasi iiwanan na siya ng bus.

I wonder why I feel this way. I feel shivers everytime I acknowledge his presence.

Totoo bang it started with a kiss?
