Chapter Fifteen.

You don't have to believe me.

Yes, I won't fall.

Usapan yan. We shake hands. Then I feel like my heart had been torn. I don't wanna be pretending but he likes it but I don't want to hurt his feelings. Ang gulo! >.<

I think it's getting dark. Let's go home. He just nodded. We fixed our stuffs then sumakay na ng car ni Troy. Wala kaming imik sa sasakyan. Idk what to say anymore. So, I just closed my eyes for a while.

Athena. Andito na tayo.

Nakaidlip ata ako. Thanks again for this day.

Thanks also.

Pumasok na ako ng bahay and luckily wala ang aking parents. Ayoko na rin kasi muna ng mga questions. I am still not ready for it. I am confused and everything. >.<

I opened my diary.

Dear Diary,
   I dont know what to do anymore. Lying about having a fake relationship is the worst decision that I have to make. I don't want to hurt anybody. I promise I will end this thing sooner or later.

Psh. I just wanted to shout but I can't. I just can't. I opened my facebook account. Notifications. Friend request. Troy is not online. I guess I can leave him a wall post. I opened his account and I typed..

Hey Troy. Thanks for today! POST. I know a lot of people will be intruge about it but whatever all I want to do is to make Troy happy.


Goodmorning Athena.

Goodmorning Mom, where is Dad?

Work. Overtime, you know how busy your Dad is.

Yeah, I memorized his routine already. Have to go Mom.

Bye sweetie. Takecare. Your with Troy, right? I nodded. Good, at least I know that our little girl is safe. So they do trust Troy and what can I say about that is it a good or bad thing? Nagmadali na akong lumabas and yes andun na nga si Troy. I waved at him and he did the same thing. Sumakay na ako.

Goodmorning Athena.

Morning. He smiled at me but his smile immediately faded.

What’s wrong?

Ugh. It’s just that my Dad is always away. Busy. Whatsoever.

Malay mo may rason naman kung bakit busy.

Yeah, work. Overtime. I haven’t seen him for weeks. When I get up he’s gone. When I went to bed his not yet home.

I hope you’ll be fine.

I am fine. Hindi na siya umimik kundi nagdrive nalang siya. Hindi na rin ako umimik. Ano naman ang dapat kong sabihin. Noong malapit na siya sa gate ng school tumigil siya.

Why did you stop, Troy?

Gusto mo ba bumaba dito?

Huh? Why?

Kasi kung ano ang iisipin nila pag nakita nila tayo.

I am fine with that. Alam naman natin ang totoo, right?

Right. Tapos pinasok na niya yung sasakyan. As usual some are looking at us pero sabay parin kaming pumasok.

Hinila ako ni Sab noong nakapasok na kami.

Hello akala ko ba sa parents mo lang kayo magpapanggap?

Oo nga.

Eh, bakit kayo sabay?

Sinundo ako. That's are deal.

Ikaw bakit kasabay mo si Marky?

Athena. I like him. She giggled.

Well go for it.

Help me!

Yeah sure anytime.

Ohmy, thankyou. She gave me a kiss on the cheek.

Basta ikaw.

Ehem. We almost forgot kasama pala namin si Marky at Troy feel namin kami lang nasa earth.

So, ano pinagusapan niyo? Share niyo naman.

Girl talk, guys.

Sige magbo-boy talk rin kami. They laughed. Tumawa na rin kami. Wala naman kaming pinaglelesson sa klase hanggang hindi namin namalayan na lunch na pala. Nagsitayuan na kaming lahat. Favorite subject eh.

Gutom na gutom na ako kaya ako ang nauna sa pila para sa food. Sumunod nalang silang tatlo. I was choosing my food when someone bump at me.

Hey. I looked at the guy and it was someone I know. It was Zac. Not just that he was someone I know but he's my ex.

What was that for?!

I heard the news.

What news, huh? Why would I care?

It's about you.

Oh, ano naman?

You're dating already ah.

Huh? Ano nanaman bang chismis yan.

Eh diba Athena kayo na ni Troy? Nagulat ako kay Sab. Bigla nalang siyang sumingit. Bakit Zac hindi mo pa ba tanggap?

Is that even true, Athena?

Yes it is. Troy looked at me. Seriously? That's what his expression looks like.

First sa parents ko. Now sa school. Hanggang kelan kami magsisinungaling. Mas magiging awkward nanaman ito. It's all my fault. AGAIN.

Chapter Sixteen.

I've seen love die way to many times when it deserve to be alive.

Well, prove it. I was dumbfounded. How am I supposed to prove it. He was looking at me. Everyone's looking at me.

You really want to know that I am telling the truth well fine. Lumapit ako kay Troy. I have to do this. For myself. Yes, for myself.

Troy. I mean Mine just go with the flow. Then I came closer to him. He just nodded. Then we kissed. I kissed him. He kissed me back. We kissed passionately. But it didn't last that long.

Naniniwala ka na Zac? Kayo? Come on guys. We don't have to waste so much time in here. Hinila ko na si Troy. He was just following me.

Wow, kayo na pala. I never knew about that Troy. Congrats! They shake hands. The guy shake hands. Idk what it calls.

Iwan na muna natin sila Marky. I think kailangan nilang mapag-isa. Marky nodded. They left us.

Hindi mo naman kai--

Thanks Troy. Alam kong ipit na ipit ka na dito.

Hindi lang naman ako ang naiipit diba? I nodded. Then I hugged him. Idk what to do that's why I just hug him. Then I remembered someone.

Mystery guy. I haven't found him. It's been a long time since then. Err. Akala ko magpapakilala pa siya personally. All I have is his hanky. Yun lang. Wala manlang name. Address. Unfair.

Hindi ko napansin. Umiiyak na pala ako. Medyo iyak lang pero hindi ko lang alam kung ano ang gagawin ko.

Pwede naman na natin itong itigil Athena.

Hindi pa ngayon Troy. I am sorry.

You don't have to. He was about to let go but I held his hands. I am still not ready to let go.

Let's just stay like this for a while. I just feel safe hugging him.

Sure, Mine. He smiled. I smiled back.

Can I ask a favor?

Anything.

Huwag sana magbago yung trato mo sa akin. Don't change.

Anong trato? Pagiging asar? I nodded. Hindi ba yun nakakainis na ugali ko?

Nahh. Paano mo nasabi?

Girls break-up with me bacause of that attitude.

You have an exes before? I thought--

Akala mo ano?

NGSB ka. He laughed. He looked so cute when he is laughing.

Grabe, hindi.

Pero sabi ni Mom mo--

Hindi ko naman talaga sila dinadala sa bahay.

Aww, why? Not even once?

Not even once. Kasi ang ipapakilala ko lang sakanya yung talagang mamahalin ko. Napatigil ako. I need to respond.

Ohh, hindi mo pa ba nakilala ang taong talaga mong mamahalin?

Nakilala ko na. He smiled. Kaso wrong timming. Err, feel ko pinapatamaan niya ako eh. >.<

Eh ikaw, may pinakilala ka na sa parents mo?

Ugh. Yeah, si Zac.

First mo?

The serious one.

Ohh, so may mga flings ka rin? I nodded.Ikaw yung Bad girl type huh? I like that.

Ha-ha. Srsly? He nodded. Well I hate it. People know about that and they won't get serious with me esp when I am serious with them. Sucks right?

Well, I am serious with you. He just whispered it pero narinig ng dalawa kong tenga. Rinig na rinig. Walang labis walang kulang.

Chapter Seventeen.

Why do we have to hurt so much?


May sinasabi ka? I smiled.

Wala. Sabi ko ang ganda mo.

Alam ko na yan.

So, nagsawa ka ng marinig yun?

Hindi naman. I smiled again. Hindi kami pumasok ng first period kasi pasaway kami eh.

Pagpasok namin ng room lahat sila nakatitig sa mga phones nila. Tapos may lumapit sa amin ni Troy.

Kalat na ata sa buong school video niyo. She showed it to me.

Omygosh.

Well, I think it's sweet. Congrats to you guise.

Thanks. I smiled, troy smiled. The girl also smiled.

Good news ba yun or what? >.<

Buti nalang hindi ka hearthrob.

May sinasabi ka? He teased me.

Wala. Sabi ko marami kang kaagaw.

Saan? Hindi ko nakikita. Binatukan ko siya.

On the way palang sila, huwag ka excited.

Okay. Hintayin ko. Kahit ilan pa sila.

Sus. Let's see about that. I challenge him. 

Nagbibiruan lang kami ni Troy pero hindi parin matanggal sa utak ko yung nangyari kanina. I kissed him. Passionately. Napatigil ako sa paglalakad sa parking lot. Hinawakan ko kamay ni Troy.

Troy, okay lang ba? He looked at me. Yung ginawa ko kanina. You know. Sa canteen.

If I was your boyfriend. That will be fine.

So, it’s not?

Ayos lang. At least hindi naman ako nabigla.

What? Hind ka nabigla?

Nabigla na. Akala ko kasi joke mo lang.

You know. If we have to do it we have to do it, okay?

Yes Ma’am. Maglalakad na sana ako nung hinawakan ako ni Troy.

Athena, mahal mo pa ba si Zac?

Bakit mo naman nasabi yan?

Kasi bakit kailangan pa nating patunayan yun sakanya.

So, he’ll believe.

Bakit nga?

To let everyone know that we are together.

Right. But you know you don’t have to kiss me. Unless gusto mo.

Shut up. Halika na nga. Maggagabi na. Hinila ko na siya sa car niya at mamaya kung ano-ano nanaman ang lalabas sa bunganga nitong lokong ito.

Pagkauwi ko agad pumuntang kwarto. I heard my phone beep. I opened it.

From: Si Troy Nga.
   Ingat ka. Mine

I hit reply..

To: Si Troy Nga.
   Yes Sir, ikaw rin. Mine

[/b]

Sinakyan ko nalang yung trip nito. Ayos lang naman sa akin. After that I opened my diary.

Dear Diary,
   Ang daming nangyari this day. Super dami hindi ko na alam ang uunahin kong sasabihin. First inamin na rin namin sa buong campus na kami na ni alam mo na Second nagkiss lang naman kami and fyi, it's passionately. Kamusta naman yun? Right? Now. Idk what to do anymore. It sucks. >.< Can you like kill me now? I have so much trouble.

I checked my phone and Troy hadn't replied. I just ignored it. I opened my fb account and I saw Troy chatted me and he said..

Checked your notifications! XD Sakyan mo please.

And I immediately checked my notifications.

Nagmadali akong tignan ang notifications ko. Wow, sobrang daming wall post. May congratulations at lahat. Ang dami ring friend request. Ano bang dahil nung chat ni Troy? Wala namang espeyal na kung ano. Wala naman siyang wall post sa akin. Lalo na ba akong sumisikat?

 

Inisa-isa ko lahat hanggang nakita ko na nga. Nanlaki pa nga yung mata ko. As in. And I hit Accept.

 

 

Athena Aranda is in a relationship with Troy Mendoza <3


Nakita ko na. Gustong ilantad ah! Ni-chat ko kay Troy. Paano ba naman kasi.

F na F lang kasi Ma'am. XD

Kinakareer! Hinay-hinay.

Bakit? Baka matuluyan?

Oo! Lagot niyan.

May usapan diba?

Hanggang napaisip ako. Oo nga may usapan and I guess we need a contract to make it legit and real. So I started making one.

To make it legit and real.

The rules to be followed:
  1. We have to look like together to everyone. As much as possible. PDA is required if we have to.
  2. No falling in love.
  3. You/I can call you anything you/I want if it is needed.
  4. Must follow the rules or the contract will not be effective.

Effective for 3 months only.

I stated the date. Our names. Do I have to sign it now? I guess not. I printed it, two copies. I guess this is enough for a day. I am so tired.

Hello, sweetpie! I looked at it again. It was Sab. Trying to trip me, again.

Whatever Marky!

TROY!

Problema mo?

Taken ka na pala. Sayang!

Why?

May nagpapatulay.

DA HU?

You don't have to know.

Ohh. My admirers!

Air. Air. Air.

Just telling the truth.

Fine, see you tomorrow. Mendoza.

Sab is offline.

Err. Magttype palang ako eh. Haist. What I did is stare at my phone. I looked at my inbox.

To: Si Troy Nga.
   Goodnight Panget. -_-

HIT SEND.

Humiga na ako. I closed my eyes.

Napaupo tuloy ulit ako.

From: Si Troy Nga.

I stared at it. Then hit reply.

Ilalatag ko na yung phone ko ng *BEEP*. Ang bilis niya magreply. Idol. Well you see bihira nalang ang mga lalaking ganyan. Umagree kayo.
