He's Into Her Episode 8 Novels & Stories

she muttered, turning her face slightly away. I almost laughed. Seasonal? Talaga lang, ha? I tilted my head, observing her. "You know, you look so familiar," I said slowly, watching for any sign of panic. "It’s like I’ve seen you before. Your eyes, your voice, they feel so familiar. It’s like we’ve shared an unforgettable moment, dear." She visibly stiffened. That reaction—priceless. Oh, Fiona… You really thought you could get away with this? I wasn’t going to let her.

Sabi niya habang nakatingin sa kisame na parang nag-iisip. "Hindi ko ma gets yang ex mo. May problema ata yan sa utak." Komento ni Khea. Bigla akong napaisip. Kelan ko nga nalaman na nagtataksil si Dylan? Nalaman ko ang pagtataksil nila ni Khea dahil noong naiwan niya ang cellphone niya sa bahay, may tumawag sakan'ya.

Pasakay na sya sa taxi pero tumapat muna sya sa akin tapos niyakap ako ng mahigpit. "Remember this Elaisa. Everything's gonna be alright. You take care of yourself, I'm just here whenever you need me. Hindi ko hahayaan na may mangyaring masama sayo." Hinalikan nya ako sa noo. Kahit naguguluhan ay tumango na lang ako. "Salamat, Nathaniel." -------

Dahil dito ay naiinis na napabangon si Rhea at matalim na tumingin sa baklang tinaasan lang siya ng kilay. “Hoy, chararat! Bumangon ka na diyan! May lakad pa tayo, aber!” sermon agad ni Lucas pagkagising. “At bakit parang extra ka sa isang horror movie? Ang laki ng eyebags mo!” Napasimangot si Rhea sa narinig. Kasalanan mo ito. Hinalikan mo ako kagabi! sigaw niya sa isip. “You’re talking as if you didn’t kiss me last night!” diretsahang sagot niya, halatang may paninisi.

Hindi siya nagpunta dito para patunayan ang sarili sa kanila—nandoon siya para sa sarili niyang pagbabago. Habang nanonood si Daniel Altacara, hindi niya maiwasang mapansin ang bagong contestant na umakyat sa stage. Sa unang tingin, parang may pamilyar sa mukha ng dalaga, ngunit hindi niya mawari kung saan niya ito nakita. "Irine," bulong niya sa asawa, "parang nakita ko na 'yung batang ‘yun." "Honey, baka namamalik-mata ka lang," sagot ni Irine, ngunit halatang naguguluhan din siya. "Ang daming tao dito, imposible naman na kilala mo siya."

Mahabang paliwanag niya sa akin at bigla naman akong tinanong. Napalunok ako dahil sa totoo lang ay nadadala ako sa kuwento niya. I feel envy for the girl. "What did you realized, when you met her?" I uttered without blinking. "She is the perfect girl who can tame my son. She's brave and willful. She's kind hearted and pure. She's the exact opposite of my son...She's like a magnet, while my son is her metal. The metal who's attracted to his magnet and can no longer step away." Sagot nito sa akin. He was looking at me like a proud father.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." She suddenly stood up, turned to my TV and tuned in to N*****x. Nalito naman ako at nabitin dahil sa pagtayo niya. "Come here." "What?" "Just come here." She played the episode where this woman was telling the man she adores about how they can define their relationship. Much to my dismay, I did sounded like I copied what she was saying. I groaned as the episode went on. "See. I told you."

Para siyang kinukuryente sa bawat segundo na lumilipas. "Ikaw talaga..." mahina niyang bulong pero hindi niya tinanggal ang kamay niya. Hindi naman tumingin si Gideon sa kanya, pero bahagya itong ngumiti, tila naririnig ang bawat tibok ng puso niya. Nang matapos ang episode, bigla siyang humarap kay Eva. "Okay na, tapos na. Pero..." pinisil nito ang kamay niya, "pwede pa ba kahit isang episode lang? Promise last na."

I leaned against the wall, pressing my forehead against the cool surface. Why does this hurt? Why now? That’s when I heard voices. I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. I really didn’t. But my name stopped me cold. “…she’s really strong,” Nikka was saying. “I can see why you admire her.” My heart skipped. “Yeah,” Sevi replied. “She is.” There was a pause. Then Nikka sighed. “I hope she doesn’t hate me.” “She doesn’t,” Sevi said immediately. “She just needs time.”

Bumungat si ate na nakatingin sa akin habang nakataas ang kanyang isang kilay. “Nagkukulay ka ba ng buhok, Rhea?” Pagtataka ni ate. Tumango ako na may kasamang maliit na ngiti, “Oo. Color black.” Nagkasalubong naman ang kanyang kilay at tinitigan niya muna ako ng ilang minuto. “Basta bilisan mo jan. Mj is in a video call with mama. At gusto kang makausap ni mama.” Paliwanag naman ni ate.
