In Love With Narcissus : Chapter 12


Things I Should Do
(Eun Hee-jun POV)



Smiley “Sorry to offend you, pero bakit parang sobrang ang boring yata ng buhay mo.” As in wala man lang thrill sa buhay niya! Walang manliligaw? I doubt! Maybe she’s just too slow kaya hindi niya alam kung sinong mga nagco-confess sa kanya.


Then pumasok sa isip ko… “Malungkot ka ba Yuni?” Smiley



“Ewan… but to be honest… I just don’t know what happiness means.” Masyado nga siyang seryoso. Smiley



“Do you want me to help you?”



“Are you kidding me?” She stood up, but she’s still staring at me. “I can never trust a guy a like you! Masyado kang wild! Baka mapasama lang ako sayo noh.” Smiley


“Sakit mo namang magsalita. Umupo ka nga ulit.” She sat down again. “Tingin mo ipapahamak kita? Just trust me!” Naisip ko, gusto ko siyang tulungan. Gusto ko siyang ipakilala sa mga bagay na sigurado kong hindi pa niya nararanasan. “I have an idea. Pero na sayo kung gagawin mo yun o hindi.” Smiley



“Ano yun?” Smiley



“Write down a list of the things you want to do. Things you want to happen and experience in your life! And I’ll be glad to help you.”



Smiley “That sound ridiculous!”



“I won’t force you if you don’t want to! It was just a suggestion!”


But observing her face now, I’m quite sure that she’ll accept it! I never doubt my miraculous instincts! Ni minsan, hindi pa ako nagkakamali! Smiley


“I’m not really sure…” Smiley


“Ganito, just the TOP TEN THINGS that you really want! Come on, hindi na mahirap mag-isip nun.” I’m really positive about this! Yuni is my first girl friend. Babaeng kaibigan, okay? And I really want to help her!


“Alright… I’ll write it down now.” Yes!!! Success!!! This way, mas magiging close na kami ni Yuni! When I see Kyun and Jiwon, I have so much to brag again! Na naging close na kami kahit papano!

(Eunice Sparks POV)


When Mr. Pretty… I mean Eunhee suggested that, naisip kong magandang idea nga naman yun! For me to be able to experience the things I always dimagine, it would be a dream come true! At isa pa, ten months na lang yung natitira saakin bago yung sad ending ng buhay ko sa England.


“Are you done?”


“Sandali lang naman!” Smiley Nagsusulat na kasi ako sa notebook, at hindi niya pwedeng silipin kung ano yung mga sinusulat ko hangga’t hindi pa ako tapos.


“Ang bagal mo namang magsulat.” Smiley


Smiley “Teka naman kasi!” Tapos huminga ako ng malalim. “Sa tingin ko… ito na lahat yun.”


Pinakita ko na yung notebook at excited naman itong tinignan ni Eunhee! These are the Ten Things that I really wanted to do.


1. Get a boyfriend.


Ang plain lang ng reaction ni Eunhee nung binasa niya nun. Smiley Maybe he thinks I’m so pathetic! Pero syempre kahit sino namang babae, gusto rin namang maka-experience na ma-inlove! Lalo pa ako! Pero may limit ako sa sarili ko jan.


Smiley Kung magkakaroon kasi ako ng boyfriend bago yung magiging fixed marriage ko, hindi ko masyadong ia-attach ang sarili ko dun sa lalaki! Experience lang talaga at I’ll try to enjoy myself as much as possible with just a little love. Or as in walang masyadong love!


2. Go to an amusement park, and hug a mascot.


“Pambata lang ‘to ha? Hindi ka pa nakakapunta ng amusement park?” Smiley


Smiley “Hindi pa.” Parang hindi pa siya makapaniwala. But I think naniwala din siya sa bandang huli dahil seryoso lang yung mukha ko. And besides, I don’t see why I should lie about this kind of things!


3. Play in the rain.


“Sinong gusto mong kalaro dito? Yung boyfriend mo?”



“Kahit sino. Basta makaligo ako sa ulan.”



“Hindi ka pa nakakaligo sa ulan? As in never!” Smiley Kailangan sumigaw?


“Wag ka nang masyadong magulat jan. That’s how strict my father is!” SmileyThen he continued reading.


4. Name a puppy.


Smiley “Hulaan ko, hindi ka pa nakakapag-alaga ng aso o kahit na anong alaga.”



“Yeah… my father forbids that too.” Smiley


5. Climb a tree



6. Set fireworks in daytime



7. Learn skateboarding


Smiley Natatawa siya habang sunud-sunod na binabasa yung 5 - 7 ko. “Anong nakakatawa?”


“Eh sa nakakatawa naman talaga. This is just so weird. Sa lahat talaga ng babaeng nakilala ko, ikaw pinaka-kakaiba kung mag-isip.” Smiley



“Should I take that as a compliment?”



“Yeah… of course!” Smiley At tawa pa rin siya ng tawa habang pinagpapatuloy yung pagbabasa.


“Teka… ano ba kasing kakaiba dun? Lahat ba ng babae, na-experience na yun?”


Smiley “Nope… pero hindi lahat ng babae, papangaraping gawin lahat ng gusto mong gawin.”


8. Wound myself and squeeze a lime on it.


“Eww! Are you sure want to do that?” Smiley



Smiley “Yeah. Na-try mo na ba yun? Gaano kasakit?”



“I never imagined hurting myself like that! You’re just too much, Yuni! Haha!”


9. Get myself in jail and go home late.


“Malalagot pala tayo sa daddy mo pag nagkataon.” SmileyI’m actually enjoying this! Him reading what I want to do, and seeing him laugh so hard about how weird the way I think.


10. Throw a message in a bottle.


That was the last thing I wrote. And he smiled so I think naisip niyang magandang idea yung pinakahuli kong sinulat. “So… what do you think?” Smiley


“I’ll be glad to help you!” Then he gave me back the notebook. “Madali lang natin yang matatapos!”



“Can we all do it within this school year?”



“Bakit? Masyado ka namang yatang nagmamadali!” Smiley


Nagmamadali talaga ako dahil wala na talaga akong natitirang oras. “Gusto ko sa loob lang ng school year natin yan magawa. Sabi mo naman madali diba?”


“Madali… except dun sa una!” Smiley Yung una ang pinakamahirap? Me getting a boyfriend! Oo nga noh, mahirap nga yun! “Once you get a boyfriend, then pwede mo nang pagsunud-sunurin yung nanjan sa list mo.”



Smiley “So how will I get a boyfriend?”



“Magpaligaw ka.”



“I don’t think there’s anyone interested.” SmileyNatahimik kami pareho. Diba matalino naman si Eunhee, makaisip kaya siya ng paraan?


“What if ako na lang kaya?”



“Ha?” Smiley



“Ako na gawin mong boyfriend.” Smiley


Napatayo ako ulit. Never in my wildest and sweetest dream na maging boyfriend ang isang tulad ni Eunhee! Gwapo, sikat at maraming naghahabol sa kanya, and that would be the biggest problem I will be facing kung siya ang magiging boyfriend ko.


“Woah!!! Hindi pwedeng ikaw! Ayoko!” Smiley


Smiley “Meron ka pa bang ibang naiisip na lalaki? Sina Kyun o Jiwon?”


Napaisip ako… nakow pati dun sa dalawa dehado ako. Smiley “Hindi rin sila pwede! Wala sa inyong tatlo ang pwede!"
