Stalking Him

"Yeah, you like it?" lumuhod din ito kagaya ko at kinuha ang isang mabalahibong pusa.

"Super! ito ata ang first time na makakapag-alaga ako ng cat! they're really cute" niyakap ko naman ang dalawa, mabalahibo talaga sila. Ang ganda pa ng kulay ng mata.

Bata pa lang gusto ko na talaga magkaroon ng asul na mata kagaya sa mga Americans at pusa na kagaya nito.

"Really? Ano ba gusto mong ipangalan sa kanila?" ipinatong ko ang aking baba sa kamay ko at nag-iisip ng magandang pangalan.

Gusto ko yung maiksi at simple pero cute ang name. How about, shadow? olive? chloe? maggie? snow? Uhm no I'm not satisfied. Hindi ko talaga maisip! I'm not really good at naming someone or something.

"Can you help me think of their name?"  tumingin siya sakin at tumawa ng konti.

We were both sitting on the floor while the three little kittens was sleeping on our laps.

"How about Willow? Lucy? or Lily? It's cute right?" tumango naman ako at ngumiti, it is short but what a wonderful name. But I want more!

"I want Willow name for this color lilac cat" I pointed my finger to the lilac or lavender cat sleeping on my right leg.

"Good choice!" Ginulo niya ang buhok ko at ngumiti. "How about this two color white and black?"

"Yung color white, her name is Nala. Tapos yung black is Luna! beautiful right?!" medyo impit kong sigaw, I'm so proud of myself for giving this name for our new babies.

"Are you happy?" nabigla naman ako sa biglaan niyang tanong. He was still looking at Nala while smiling. I think he likes that cat.

"I'm super duper happy! I didn't expect that someone can give this kind of gifts. So thank you for giving me this." ginulo niya na naman ang buhok ko at ngumiti. Sinandal ko naman ang ulo ko sa balikat niya dahil sa antok.

"You're always welcome. I just don't want you to get bored here. At least if I'm gone there is your new babies to comfort and motivate you."

My heart beating so fast! why he's so sweet! He's always there for me making me laugh and smile even in the smallest things. Can I give him a gift too? I want him to remember me anytime he's sad or he's having a tough time. I want to make him feel that I love him too, he deserves everything, right?

"Thank you. Thank you for always making me happy. I don't know why are you like this, but don't give me anything too much, don't forget about yourself. I want you to take care and love yourself more, did you get it?" I can feel the movement of his right cheek, because my head touching his face. I think he's smiling.

"Yeah I get it. But I still want to give you everything. You know, you deserves it, and you can't stop me because I know you can't reject me." natawa naman kami parehas dahilan para magising ang mga pusa. They're really cute!

"What do you want to eat?!" tanong ko kay Ethan, he's busy studying at the coffee table, nakakalat sa table ang mga higlighters and papers niya. And he's wearing his reading glasses, sinusuot niya talaga 'to kapag nag-aaral. Lahat na lang ata bagay sa kaniya, just like me. Charot!

Gusto sana ng chef namin na siya na ang magluto, but I told him that I want to cook for them. I really miss this family.

"I want Caldereta, you can cook that?" nagbabasa pa rin siya habang nagsasalita. After ko magluto, balak kong tulungan siya.

Sometimes he want someone that can ask him about their topics, para malaman niya yung ano pa ba ang hindi niya alam.

Habang nagluluto ako ay nags-scroll ako sa social media. I checked the friend requests and I saw Ace's name. Oh my god! Ngayon ko lang 'to nakita! Agad ko naman siyang inaccept, 2 weeks ago pa yung friend request niya sakin. I checked his account too, And I saw his aesthetic pictures! Cool huh. He love oceans and sun as a background.

While stalking Ace I heard someone's talk to my side.

"You like him?" napatalon ako sa gulat dahil sa biglang pagsulpot ni Ethan. Paglingon ko ay matatalim na tingin agad ang sumalubong sakin. Why his face has a black aura?

I turn off the stove and face him. Ngumiti ako sa kaniya pero no expression pa din siya. He's so scary when his serious like that.

"His name is Ace, right? my schoolmate?" paos ang boses nito na lalo kong ikinataka.

Tumango naman ako sa kaniya at pinatay ang phone ko.

"Yeah, he's just my friend. I didn't saw  that he sent a friend request to me. Kaya chineck ko. What's the problem? why are you like that? may nangyari ba?" kunot noo kong tanong.

"Are you sure?" ilang minuto ba magiging ganiyan ang expression niya? at ano pinagsasabi nito?

"Sure about what?" I'm really confuse right now.

"That you two are just friends?" lumapit pa ito sakin dahilan para mapasandal ako sa cabinet. Nilagay niya naman ang kamay niya sa magkabilang gilid ko at yumuko ng konti.

I can feel the heat in my face. So close.

"Y-yeah we are just friends! tanong mo pa sa kaniya!" I'm nervious. Hindi ko alam kung dahil ba sa walang expression niyang mukha o dahil sa sobrang lapit niya sakin.

"Okay good. I thought you like him, coz you're looking at him for too long while smiling. I just want to drink water, then what? I saw you smiling at your phone, so I got curious. Tapos yun lang pala makikita ko. And I'm sorry. Tsk forget it." tumalikod na ito sakin at bumalik sa table.
