Why'd You Ask Novels & Stories

Doh? "Who is cusses and curses?" I took a quick glance at him, before I focus on the way. "Is someone courting you?" muli niyang tanong. I didn’t bother to answer him. Doh? Baka maibangga ko pa ang sasakyan niya sa sobrang irita! "Wait! Is it Chaster? Is he courting you?" "Will you freaking stop asking? Have you heard me asked about Vivi? Know to return the favor, Moron!" I scoffed. He's so irritating.

Ulit nito sa sariling tanong. ‘Bakit niya ba tinatanong? Ano ba’ng pakialam ba siya?’ Tanong ng isang bahagi ng kanyang isip. “Uhm…nothing much?!” Naguguluhan niyang sagot rito. “Like what?” Mabilis nitong tanong. “We did baked and…eat?!” Sagot niya. “Why are you asking anyway?” Tinaasan siya ng kilay ng binata. Kita niyang hindi ito naniwala sa sinabi niya.

"Because you said you will tell me something." "But what if it's not worth it? Though you don't know if it's worthy or not, maghihintay ka pa rin?" he seriously asked. Puro tanungan ah! "Why not? At saka bakit mo naman ako paghihintayin kung 'di naman worth it, 'di ba?" "Ask me now." "Ask you what? . . . . Ah! Ano nga yung sasabihin mo?" "You know that number." While looking away from me, "It's not mine, sa kaibigan ko 'yan."

Humigpit ang hawak ko sa steering wheel habang diretso ang tingin sa daan kasabay ng paghahanap ko ng maaaring kasagutan sa kaniyang tanong. "Why did you ask, baby?" I asked softly. Kasabay nito ay ang pagbilis ng tibok ng puso ko, hindi inaasahan na tatanungin naman niya ngayon kung nasaan ang lalaki! Bakit ba curious na curious siya sa tatay niya these days? "Is he far away?" tanong pa niya, not answering my question. I fell silent for a minute before I sighed. "Kind of..."

"Paano ako mawawalan ng pakialam sa taong gusto ko? Can't you just answer my question?" He sniggered. "Taong gusto mo? What kind of like are you talking about? Someone you like to tease? Why are you doing this? I already rejected you. Why bother going here and ruining my day? Are you bored? Don't you have work to do?" He asked one after the other.

This time is different, I'm not showing any softness. Umiling ako. "You don't have to do anything, but I'm going to ask you something," saad ko at kita ko ang biglang bakas ng kuryosidad niya. "Ano ba talaga 'ko para sa 'yo? This time I want an honest answer from you," dagdag ko na nakpagpatigil sa kanya. "Why did you ask?" Nagugulahan siya. "Just answer me," giit ko kaya napabuntong hininga siya at tumuwid ng upo sabay ekis ng dalawa niyang braso.

Para na akong malulunod sa tindi ng emosyong kumakain sa akin. “I want to ask you the same question, Elle. Bakit ka nagpahalik sa akin no’ng gabing ‘yon?” seryoso niyang tanong habang nakatitig sa mga mata ko. “Why did you surrender yourself to me?”

"What's wrong with you?" It took me awhile to say something. "Nothing is wrong with me." "E bakit ngayon ka lang umuwi at lasing na lasing pa?" Kwestyon ni Ate. "Sisirain mo ba ang buhay mo?" "Why you didn't tell me." It's not a question but statement. Napakunot noo si Ate Alex. "What?" "Why you didn't tell me!" Halos pasigaw ko na pag ulit sa kapatid ko na may kasamang luha dahil biglang pumasok sa isip ko si Aubree at ang mga nalaman ko about her. "No one fucking told me!"

I want to know the reason behind it. “C-can I ask a q-question?” I asked nervously. I'm afraid that he'll get mad at me for being nosy. I'm just curious. Okay lang kung hindi niya sasagutin. I respect his privacy. “Sure.” “Why do you hate rich woman... l-like me?” saad ko. Tumingin ako sa kalangitan. The stars above multiply. Ang gandang pagmasdan.

Parang may kung anong humarang sa lalamunan ko. Napatawa ako nang pilit. "Anong klaseng tanong iyan?" "The kind of question that needs an honest answer." Umiling ako. "Too late for that." Bahagyang gumuhit ang mapait na ngiti sa labi niya. "Yeah." "I don't miss you, not even an inch... not even a second. Sinabi mo sa akin na kilala mo ako — so why bother asking that question?" Nagtaas ako ng kilay. Muli niyang inayos ang aking buhok.
