Fell For Him

I have a boyfriend and his name is Lucas. He is a well-known actor and has been paired with many beautiful women in the industry.

Bilang girlfriend, hindi imposible para sa'king makaramdam ng selos lalo na't walang-wala ako kumpara sa kanila. Hindi ako gaano kagandahan at wala rin akong maipagmamalaki bukod sa totoo ang nararamdaman ko para kay Lucas.

Our relationship was kinda private. Only few know that we are together at hinahayaan na lamang naming gano'n. Ayaw rin naming maraming nakisawsaw.

"Galit ka ba sa'kin?" He mumbled while wrapping his hands around my waist.

"Nope."

Bahagya kong itiningala ang ulo upang pigilan ang pag-iyak.

"Were you hurt? Did they hurt you?"

His face crumpled in anger. I even saw how his jaw and fist clenched.

I just held his hands and smiled a bit.

"I'm okay, Lucas."

Dahan-dahan ay muli ako nitong hinagkan. I know he loves me, I can feel it. And there's no way he could cheat on me.

"I'm sorry, Diona. I won't let that happen again," He then kissed my forehead.

I just shook my head and hugged him tight.

Tears were slowly streaming down my cheeks. Naalala ko na naman kung paano ipamukha sa'kin ng ilang tagahanga niya kung gaano kami hindi nababagay sa isa't-isa.

I met some of them on my way home. Hindi naman ako nagtangkang ngumiti dahil alam kong hindi nila alam ang namamagitan sa'min ni Lucas kaya't dire-diretso lang ako.

"Hey!"

I was surprised when one of them suddenly called me. Bahagya akong lumingon.

All of them raised their eyebrows.

"So, ikaw pala 'yong girlfriend ni Lucas?"

Hindi ko alam kung bakit nakaramdam ako bigla ng kaba. Hindi ako sumagot at akmang aalis na sana nang kapitan ng isa ang braso ko.

"Sabagay, hindi rin malabong magcheat siya. 'Di hamak na mas maganda sa'yo si Carol," I saw a gleam of sarcasm in her eyes.

"Para sa kaalaman mo, babaeng ilusyunada. May namamagitan kay Carol at Lucas ng hindi mo nalalaman," She said while laughing sarcastically.

Agad kong inagaw ang braso ko't tumakbo na paalis.

Ang bigat sa dibdib.

Alam kong hindi magagawa sa'kin 'yon ni Lucas. He never failed to remind me how much he loves me and no words can explain how lucky I am for having a man like him.

But I can't stop thinking about that.

"Baby, let's meet..." I heard him let out a deep sigh.

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

My forehead creased in confusion. Is there something wrong?

"Just meet me. I'll just text you the adress and what time. I have something to tell you," He said then hang up.

Ni hindi pa ako nakakapag-"I love you".

Parang may kung anong bumara sa lalamunan ko. May mali ba?

Nang mareceive ang text ay agad na akong nag-asikaso kahit pa alam kong nawalan na ako ng gana.

He wants me to meet him near their taping area. Takipsilim na at tanging ilaw na lamang malapit sa kanila ang naaaninag ko.

Wala ako gaanong makitang tao at medyo tahimik na rin.

Ilang minuto pa akong naghintay.

Nang maramdamang nilalamok na ay muli ko iginala ang paningin ko ngunit wala talaga akong makitang tao. Maybe he forgot that he's going to meet me. Baka may mas importante pang gagawin.

It felt like I got stabbed in my chest. Hindi naman niya gagawin 'to kung alam niyang maghihintay ako.

Agad kong pinunasan ang aking luha bago tumalikod. Akmang aalis na ako nang biglang may kumapit sa aking braso.

"Uy, Ma'am!" Tawag sa'kin ng isa sa kanilang staff.

Kilala ko siya at alam kong alam niya kung anong meron sa'min ni Lucas.

Napabuntong hininga na lamang ako. Akala ko wala ng tao rito.

Nabigla ako nang hilahin niya ako palapit doon sa area nila.

"Hindi ka pa ba uuwi?" Nagtataka kong tanong.

"May papanoorin pa ako," She said while smirking.

Napailing na lamang ako. Ano pa bang gagawin ko rito?

"Uuwi na kasi ako," Medyo naiilang kong sambit.

I heard her laughed a bit.

"Samahan mo muna akong manood, Ma'am."

Nagtataka ko siyang tiningnan. I was about to ask her if she knew where Lucas was when I suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Since the day that we met girl

I ain't never had anyone make me feel this way~"

His deep set of eyes were intently staring at me. Kahit pa rinig ang ingay ng paligid ay hindi ko mapigilang malunod sa mga titig niya.

"Girl I got you and I want to give you what you never had~"

He slowly walked towards me. He's smiling like an idiot while I'm crying here. I don't know, I just love this man so much.

"Cause you love me and I love you

Girl your love is where it's at~"

He held my hands and kissed my forehead. Dahan-dahan niya ring pinunasan ang luha ko.

The people began to scream louder. May ilan pang naiiyak na rin dala ng kilig.

"I'm gonna be the one that's gonna last

And be the one that got your back~"

When he finally sang the chorus, the different kind of lights are flickered across the area.

My heart beats as fast as it could. Mukhang gusto nang kumawala mula sa dibdib ko at magtitili na rin gaya ng iba.

"And though we both made our mistakes

And some we never wish we made~"

I tried so hard to save myself from drowning but I ended up letting myself be drowned by his love.

"But we'll be okay if we just stay together~"

Nabigla ako nang makita ang pagpatak ng luha niya, tuloy-tuloy hanggang sa ayaw nang tumigil. I immediately wiped it.

"Shh, don't cry. I should be the one crying here, not you..." I laughed a bit.

He hugged me tight while sobbing. This would be the first time that I saw him be this soft.

"I love you, baby..."

Dahan-dahan ko siyang iniharap sa'kin.

"I love you more, Lucas."

I was shocked again when he slowly bent down his knee while looking straight at me. He then slowly pulled something on his pocket.

It's just a small box. Pero gano'n na lamang ang kaba ko.

At first, I thought he wanted to broke up with me. But everything's turns upside down now.

"I don't want to make our relationship private anymore, Diona..."

"I want you to be mine, officially."

Dahan-dahan niyang binuksan ang kahon at bumungad sa'kin ang kumikinang na singsing sa loob.

Nagsimulang bumagsak ang luha ko bago pa man siya makapagtanong.

"Will you be my wife for life time?"

I nodded more than twice. I even shouted, "Yes".

Bakas ang galak sa mukha niya nang isuot ito sa ring finger ko.

Everybody were screaming when Lucas kissed me on the lips.

I admit, I've fallen for him before.

And I fell for him, again...

Even more.
