Averi
We are basted.
Hindi lang basta basta ang nakahuli samin ni Color kundi ang papa nya. At first we are all awkward, no one really wants to talk but since we are not teenagers anymore and completely adults. It was Mr. Benitez who breaks the silence by asking me kung marunong daw ba akong magchess.
Weird na kung weird but hey, im really fan of chess. Mahilig ako maglaro nito nung College at naging varsity player pa ako. Kaya agad akong napa oo. Samantalang si Color ay walang nagawa kundi ang manuod at mukhang bored na bored na.
"Not again.." Napapailing na bulong ni Mr. Benitez nang matalo ko ulit sya. "Why you are so good? I can't win."
Hindi ko mapigilang mapangiti. "I used to play chess during my college days Sir."
Napahampas si Mr. Benitez sa upuan na napakaseryoso ng mukha. Sa kanya ata namana ni Color ang pagiging stoic. "Kaya

ColorThese past few days had been my favorite moment of my life. Why? Syempre dahil kay Averi. There wasrainbow around me and countless butterflies in my stomach kapag kasama ko sya. Akala ko sa imagination lang ito ng mga corny na author nageexist. But guess what? Totoo pala.And since lahat ng ito ay bago sakin, hindi ko parin mapigilan makaramdam ng takot. Lalo pa na kahit si Averi ay may pagdududa parin sakin. Paano kung mabigo lang siya? Paano kung totoo yung iniisip nya about me? However, i just needed a trust para naman maramdaman ko na im doing the right thing."Ms. President,"I pulled out of my reverie when someone speak. Napatingin ako sa senior editor ko na nakatayo sa aking harapan. Kanina pa ba sya nandito? Bakit hindi ko napansin?Inayos ko ang aking sarili at naupo ng tuwid sa silya. "Yes? What do you want?"

Chapter 24 is private so follow me kung gusto nyong mabasa. Going to party is never new to me. Dumating narin ako sa point na parang very ordinary nalang ito sakin, wala ng thrill at excitement. Uupo nalang ako sa isang tabi at maglalasing hanggang sa makakilala ako ng magandang babae na pwedeng ikama at iwanan after. But now, it's different. Hindi ako mapakali habang nakaupo dito sa sasakyan papuntang party.Nakakatawa mang aminin pero hindi na ako makapag hinatay makita si Averi. I wanna see how beautiful she is and how she is going to slay the party. Agh. F*ck! I look and sound like a love sick teenager. This is not me but what can i do? Si Averi nalang lagi ang laman ng isip ko.Dapat na ba akong magpatingin sa doctor? Magtake ng prescribed medicine? O aminin nalang kung ano ba ang tunay kung nararamdaman? Handa na ba ako? Kaya ko na bang panindigan ang lahat?

Averi"I will see you later.." Color told me at binitawan nya ang aking kamay bago kami maghiwalay ng daan. Ako sa hagdanan dadaan at sya naman ay sa elevator para walang makapansin samin at hindi magisip ng kung ano. Hindi pa man ako nakakahakbang ng bigla nya akong tawagin. "Averi!"Napalingon ako kay Color. I still can't get enough of this woman. She is so beautiful tonight and she knows that. Dahil paulit ulit kung binanggit sa kanya kung gaano sya kaganda while we were naked, our legs tangled as she worship every inches of my body. The thought of it set a butterflies in my stomach but whatever happened between us in bed, will stay in bed."Color.." Sambit ko sa pangalan nya."I.." Napatingin si Color sa sahig. She is going to say something but didn't know how to say it. "I.. will see you later again." Natawa ako. Ang cute nya. Sobrang layo sa personality na pinaki

Color"Renaissance.." Tawag ni Papa sa pangalan ko habang kumakain kami ng breakfast. He called me last night para sabihin na darating ang mga kapatid ko from abroad para sa gaganapin na family reunion. Kaya after work dumaretcho na ako sa bahay at dito narin ako natulog. "Ikaw na ang bahala sa lahat kakailanganin natin on Sunday, magiimbita rin ako ng ilang business partners para hindi nila masabi na ineechapwera natin sila sa mga ganitong okasyon."Wala na akong nagawa kundi ang tumango habang ngumunguya. Kahit magprotesta pa ako hindi rin ako mananalo. Hindi na nga ako magkanda ugaga sa trabaho sa opisina. Pero uutusan ko nalang ang secretary ko na mag ayos ng lahat para naman may ginagawa sya kaysa umupo at makipagchismisan maghapon."And.." Dugtong ni Papa. Naghintay lang ako ng sasabihin nya. "Please invite Averi. Gusto ko nandon sya sa party at para makilala din sya ng mga kapatid mo."

At first, i was indenial dahil natatakot akong masaktan ulit but no matter how i tried to stop this huge feeling in my chest i couldn't.Everyday na nakakasama ko si Color ay mas lalo ko syang nakikilala. She is just like me, we are both scared to love again pero magkaiba yung way namin para makamove on. Pero sino ba ako para magjudge? Sino ba ako para hindi magbigay ng second chance? If we don't give other people a chance paano sila magbabago?I know na worth it ang pagkakataon na binigay ko kay Color dahil nakikita ko naman ang pagbabago sakanya. Also, I'm not going to rush

ColorThis is the first time na nakatulog ako ng sobrang peaceful. Yung tipong wala akong ibang iniisip kundi ang humilata, yakapin ang napakalambot na unan at amuyin ang napakabangong leeg ni Averi. I never been so happy with anyone, kahit kailan hindi ko pa nararanasan yung contentment na tanging kay Averi ko lang naramdaman. Ibang iba talaga sya sa lahat ng babaeng nakilala ko, i can't even find a word to explain how and why. Hindi ko rin sya maikumpara kay Reese dahil napakalaki ngpagkakaiba nila.With Reese, yes she is my first love. They said first love never dies which is actually true. Reese is always special to me though not in romantic way anymore. More like sistely love or best friend. When it comes to Averi naman. Argh. That woman is making me crazy especially when she told me those magic words. I felt there was something inside my throat na nagpahirap sakin na huminga but you know i was still figuring out

AveriMy one day and one night vacation away from Manila was a great experience. Super nagenjoy ako lalo pa at kasama ko si Color. There's no dull moments between us at ito rin yung naging way para mas lalo pa namin makilala ang isa't isa. Maraming bagay din akong natuklasan from the smallest to weird details about Color.But you know sometimes being weird is a blessing in disguise. Dahil ito yung nagpapatibay ng damdamin na meron ako para kay Color kahit na may kaunting takot ako na baka hindi rin ganon ang nararamdaman nya para sakin. But who am i kidding? I really feel that she loves me too and I see it through her eyes. Color is just taking her time and I know when she is finally ready alam ko na walang pagdadalawang isip nyang sasabihin sakin yung matagal ko ng gustong marinig.At ngayong pauwi na kami sa Maynila ay hindi ko maiwasang malungkot. Magiging busy narin kasi ako sa trabaho lalo pa at nalalap
