"ILANG araw nang hindi ko kayo nakikita ni kuya Reign na magkasama. Talaga bang ayos lang kayo?"
Iniwasan ko ang titig ni Reighly nang maramdaman ko ang pag-init ng mga mata ko. Hindi ko maiwasan iyon sa tuwing naririnig ko ang pangalan ng kuya niya. It's like his name has become a sharp glass in my chest and stabs at my heart whenever I press his name.
Ilang araw at gabi ko nang hinihintay ang tawag niya, pero linggo na ang lumipas at ganoon pa rin. Tahimik pa rin siya. Kahit man lang simpleng text ay wala.
How ironic.
I liked him because of that trait of his. Tahimik siya sa kanilang magkakaibigan. It started out as a simple curiosity for me. A mystery I wanted to unearth.
I wanted to know what his voice sounds like? What makes him break his silence? What are his interests? Does he like talkative girls or the quiet ones?
Hanggang sa mas lumalim pa ang mga tanong sa isipan ko. May girlfriend na ba siya? Kung wala, may natitipuhan na ba siya? What does he like about girls? Did he prefer good-looking ones or the good-hearted ones?
When men in school and around town tried to court me, I didn't entertain them because I didn't want to hurt their feelings knowing that in the end, I'd reject them. May mga may hitsura naman sa kanila, at mababait. Pero hindi alam kung bakit wala akong magustuhan. Hanggang sa ma-realize ko kung bakit.
It's Reign. I've been trying to look for him in them. I've been trying to see him in them. And that's when I realized I was falling for him.
Just like that, a simple crush slowly grew deeper into love.
I was 19 then. Just a sophomore college student and he was already an architecture graduating student.
Pumasok ako sa art club na kabilang siya para lagi ko siyang nakikita. Gusto ko nang sumuko noong una pa lang na ma-realize ko dahil hindi lang pala ako ang nakakapansin sa kanya. He's already a prince to every girl.
While my classmates and friends think I'm pretty, the girls that often surrounds him were prettier and more sophisticated. At magkakaedad lang din sila. I thought then that he's probably thinking I was too young for him.
So I stood at the side, while watching him from the distance with my secret feelings. I thought it would be the story of my life—hanggang sa makilala ko si Reigh.
She looked for me and told me she wanted me to be her friend. I thought she was weird, but she was really nice kaya madali kaming nagkasundo. She was actually the one who told me Reign had a crush on me since I was a freshman, pero dahil mahiyain daw ang kapatid ay siya na lang ang gumawa ng paraan para makilala ko si Reign.
He started to show his interest when he's near to graduation. And since then, we've been happy together for almost three years. Hanggang sa dumating itong pagsubok na sa tingin ko ay magiging katapusan ng lahat.
