Here we are watching the sunset for the 2nd time. We missed the sunrise again.
"This is our last night." He said.
We're on the rooftop, Ang lamig dito pero hindi ko na pinansin.
"Let's capture this, " sabi ko.
I was just about to bring out my phone ng ilabas niya ang parehong camera na ginamit namin nung pumunta kami sa tagaytay.
"We'll take a video, instead." He said.
Pinatong niya ang camera sa makapal na railings. Tinignan ko kung maayos ito, tamang tama lang para mavideohan ang lahat.
"Can we make a wish?" He asked, napakunot ako ng noo, does anyone wish on the sunset before?
"I don't know but let's do it, " He nodded, pumikit ako.
I know I don't deserve any of these but I am so happy. Sa sobrang saya ko, ayaw ko nang bumalik sa reyalidad. Mali ang lahat pero minsan hinihiling ko na sana ganito na lang. Sana tama na lang lahat nang ito.
Ayaw kong hilingin na sana itama ko ang mga mali ko dahil sa hiling na yon, kasama ang mawala siya.
Hindi ko kaya, hindi ko kayang mawala siya.
They said someday, everyone will get what they deserve. When I got it, i hope he is still by my side. Hindi sana siya mawala. Yes, I want to be sincerely happy, without any doubt, but with him.
Marami akong gustong hilingin, but all of them are about him. He became my dream.
I opened my eyes and look at him. Nakasara pa rin ang mga mata niya. I wonder what he is wishing,
When he opened his eyes, tumingin siya sa akin. He met my eyes, I just stared at him.
I used to think that it's pathetic dreaming of being with someone, kasi tao lang din naman sila diba, but now I understand the feeling. A person can take over you, and it will make you feel as if you can't live without them.
Tuluyan ng lumubog ang araw. Konting minuto pa ay madilim na rin ang langit.
"Let's swim?" tumango ako.
Agad kaming pumunta sa kwarto para mag palit. Nasa cr ako habang siya ay sa labas lang nag palit. I don't know what to wear.
"You brought this so I'm sure you know what I have in here, " sigaw ko.
"yeah, " rinig kong sabi niya mula sa labas.
"Anong magandang suot?" I asked.
"Wear whatever you want. I can fight." natawa ako. As if naman may babastos sa akin dito. Mula nang pumunta kami dito dalawa pa lang ang nakita ko at dalawang matandang babae pa ang mga ito.
Nakahinga ako ng maluwag ng may nakita akong rash guard. Crop top siya pero heto na ang pinaka matinong damit na nakita ko. Don't get me wrong I am not against 2 piece or what, I am just uncomfortable, para na rin akong hubad kapag nag suot ako non and to be honest I am not that confident about my body.
Pag labas ko ay mata agad ni lucas ang bumungad sa akin. He is sitting on the bed looking at my direction.
"Damn," Komento niya. Umiwas siya ng tingin bago tumayo. May binulong siya pero hindi ko narinig.
"what?"
"Nothing, let's go."
Lucas POV
I waited for her to go out. I'm excited to see what she chose to wear. So far, lahat ng binili ko ay bagay sakanya. With the body she has, everything will look good on her.
"Damn," biglang lumabas sa bibig ko pag labas niya. I look away, shit.
"Thank god she didn't wear anything more revealing." I murmured to myself. Hindi ko alam kung kaya ko pang pigilan ang sarili ko pag nagka taon.
"What?" tanong niya.
"Nothing, let's go." kinuha ko ang camera at dalawang tuwalya bago tuluyan lumabas para sundan siya. "Cover up." I said, lending her the tower.
"I thought you could fight?" biro niya.
"I can but cover yourself first." I said.
The rush guard fits her body well. Makikita mo ang kurba ng katawan niya. She always joke of not having a butt but what is this then? I wanna ask her to wear shorts since hindi ko maiwasang tumingin sa baba niya, it's distracting me every now and then but just like what they said 'never tell a woman what to wear' utak ko ang problema, I am aware of that.
"Can you take this there?" tinuro ni Allison ang upuan.
I nodded. I am carrying the chair nang biglang may sumabay sa paglalakad sa akin.
"Epal ka nanaman ba?" I asked, it's trevor.
"Ayaw niyo non may taga bantay kayo? May dala kang camera sinong mag pipicture?" tumingin si Allison sa amin. She waved her hands at him.
Malamig na ang ihip ng hangin. Hindi ko alam kung tama ba na ngayon ko siya inaya, malapit na talagang dumilit.
"Ang lamig, anong na isipan niyo?"
"Uuwi na kami bukas," Sagot ko.
Nilagay ko ang upuan sa tabi ng dagat at doon namin iniwan ang mga gamit namin.
"Paki bantayan ng maayos, " Pam bibiro ko kay Trevor. I don't want to call him as kuya, mas bata pa siya kung umakto sa akin.
Nauna ng sumulong sa dagat si Allison. I just look at her, she easily gets drowned at what she considered beautiful. In her eyes, you can see a completely different world.
Binuksan ko ang camera at kinuhanan siya. She is aesthetically beautiful, not the place or what she wears, siya mismo.
"Why did you let her wear that?" Trevor asked.
"I told her that I can fight. She has a lot of options at yan ang pinaka maayos, I am the one who bought everything so you would expect more revealing clothes. Pagka tapos ko siyang makita I was thankful that she didn't wear the 2 piece cause I realized that before fighting anyone, I should fight myself." I heard him chuckle.
I didn't mind looking at him. If she is drowned by the beauty of the sea, I am drown with the beauty of her, who's in front of me.
"Having a hard time?" He looked at my shorts but I just ignored him. Infact, I am.
"Why do you need to fight yourself? She love you so much that I think she can give it up right away if you ask for it." umiling ako.
"Akala ko din nung una but she didn't and I understand why. I can feel that she has a lot of doubt. I can't blame her though."
It's easiest to make her fall in love pero everything that comes next is hard.
"Gago ka e. "
No doubt to that, I know that I am.
Forgiveness, that is what I am only praying for when the time comes. I just wanna be with her, even for a short while cause I can't stay because she won't stay for a long time. No one has ever stayed with me and i know no one will.
When i open my eyes i look at her who is also looking at me,
If ever we'll do it right, will your love stay?
But I doubt that it will,
Cause the moment we leave this place, it's not just me and you.
