What came after that happened in a glimpse. I didn't even notice how much time passed since Diamond stepped into my life. It passed so fast but, weirdly, I remember every moment and second of it.
Is it because I'm too damn deeply in love with her?
I wonder how many men crawl their way just to get her to notice them. Maybe thousands? I think that's an understatement—-she's just too gorgeous with her gorgeous mind.
She's too easy to love because everything about her is a dream. She made me feel whole without trying to patch up the holes that scars me.
But what scares me the most is what I can do for her—-I'm scared that if she asks me to kill all the people who hurt her, I will do it without remorse. Or if she asks me to give myself up to her, I will gladly kneel in front of her and kiss her feet.
What I'm trying to say is that: I can go to any extent to protect her and her dignity. I could not just watch and let people talk badly about her name.
"Congrats, bro! Panalo na naman!"
I gave him a high-five. I think we're in the same org in ISM but I don't remember us being close since he's a narcissist.
"Ako pa ba?" biro ko.
"Mabuti nga at ikaw ang nanalo eh, kesa iyong tiga Alveline—-ano bang pangalan no'n? Hindi ko maalala kasi hindi naman kagalingan tapos hindi gano'n kaganda kasi nakasalamin—-"
"It's Diamond." I glared darker at him.
"Huh?"
"Her name is Diamond."
"Is that even important? She's not even that hot to stand out. I heard she only got to finals after the student from MEU went easy on her."
I've been hearing that a lot too. I think it began after she got into finals and the video went viral on the internet so, I promised not to give her a fair competition because I believed that she deserves to be there. She worked hard.
"She beat that MEU guy because she can, and I am pretty confident that she'll always be better than every one of you... Moron."
"Ano iyon?!"
I snickered, tapping his shoulder. "Huwag na, baka umiyak ka pa eh. Then, you'll be uglier."
Tumawa pa ako bago sinuksok ang magkabila kong kamay sa aking bulsa para lagpasan siya.
He should see his face first before shaming others like that. How dare he talk about her like that? A real idiot.
"Uuwi ka na kaagad?"
I nodded at Wane as I swing my guitar case on my back.
"Yeah, I need sleep." I shrugged my shoulders.
