"G-Gun?" I uttered as I laid my eyes on him, and my heart started to beat so fast.
He is wearing a white dresser shirt with a folded sleeve up to his elbow and paired with black ankle pants and Adidas Stan Smith sneakers and a wristwatch. Also, his hairstyle is neat as his faded cut is shown.
So different to the simple man I know, he looks so formal and high level. Nanatili akong nakatayo sa tabi ng upuan habang nagsilmula silang lumapit sa kanya at binati siya. I watch how Cadmus and Kace talk to him and they all laugh together.
Pinanuod ko silang lahat isa-isang bumeso sa kanya, Chantel, Aberry and Lana greet him with a warm welcome while I stay here stiffed and don't know what to react.
Nihindi ko nga maigalaw ang aking mga daliri dahil sa presensya niya.
He's really here, after so many years we meet again...
"Halika dito tayo," agad akong napalunok ng biglang ayain nila Aberry si Gun papunta sa table na kinatatayuan ko.
We smile at them and nodded, hindi ko alam pero parang siya lang ang nakikita ko sa buong paligid. Parang lumabo lahat at tanging siya lang ang malinaw sa aking paningin.
Bawat hakbang na kanyang ginagawa ay katumbas ng pagsikip ng aking dibdib.
Sumisikip ito sa paraang sobrang hirap lumunok at huminga ng maayos. Sobrang talaga ko siyang hindi na kita, sobrang tagal namin hindi nagkausap at sobrang tagal na simula ng bigyan namin ng space ang isat-isa na nagtuloy-tuloy na sa pagkalimot.
"Long time no see guys," he said and smiled at all of us. Those smiles...It's been so long since I witnessed that smile again.
I smiled at him as he stand in front of our table then my eyes stared at his face down to his hands where he holds a beautiful hand of a lady beside him, she's----
"Meet my girlfriend Ady," he said with the purest smile, he always shows when he's really happy.
My lips parted as I realized that he had someone with him all along, she was holding his hands and arms with a genuine smile.
All the boys smile at her and greet her, while my friends look at me and mouthed the girl named Ady.
She's the girlfriend I guess, "Hi nice to meet you, Cadmus Delavine," Cad shake hands with her and she nodded at him, "Yeah, I know you, Delavine's Scents right?" her voice sounds so powerful and beautiful like her.
"Adelaide Tamara is the name, Nice to meet you all," propesyonal na sambit nito na nagpahanga sa katabi ko na ngumanga pa talaga. "Wow, ganda," I glance at Lana as she whispers that and drops her jaw while staring at Ady.
I push her chin up to close that wide mouth open and she looked at me, "Ay.. sorry mas maganda ka dyan gurl lamang ka ng konting hilamos," she said and wink at me.
Umiling na lang ako at tumingin muli kay Gun pero sakto din siyang lumingon sa akin at nagtama ang aming mga mata.
I gulp as I smile at him and about to speak, "Lon-----," hindi ko natapos ang sasabihin ko ng lumapit sa akin si Luan at pinakita sa akin ang batang buhat-buhat niya. "She's my princess, she's beautiful right?" he said and looked at the kid he's carrying.
Humarang sila sa harapan ko kaya hindi ko na makita si Gun, so I just look at the kid and smile at her. "You're the princess po?" she asks while pouting so cute..
Because of her cuteness, I urged a smile and pinch her chubby cheeks, "No, you are the princess," I said.
"I want to marry the prince so please don't be the princess," she said and about to cry.kumunot ang noo ko ng mapaisip kung sinong prince ang tinutukoy niya.
"Prince?" I ask? At agad niyang tinuro si Luan at niyakap ito sa leeg. I sigh and chuckle before I look at Luan, he wink at me and smile.
Hinawakan ko ang kamay ng bata upang harapin ako nito, when she face me I smile at her and, "Your the princess, don't worry sayo na yang prince na yan," I said and pointed at Luan na agad umakting na binaril sa puso.
Kaya lalo akong natawa, "Really? I can marry him na po?" the little girl asked with full energy. Tumango ako kaya mabilis siyang nagpababa kay Luan at tumakbo sa Mom niya at tinuro si Luan, her Mom laughs at her and mouthed sorry to us.
"You just break my heart into pieces," uaakting nasambit ni Luan at lumapit sa akin. Umiling-iling nalang ako at umupo na ulit sa upuan ko.
Agad niyang hinila ang upuan sa tabi ko at nilapit ang mukha sa akin, "How could you give me to that kid? Paano na kapag pinakawalan ko siya wala ka ng chance maging asawa ako," hirap na pagsasalita ng tagalog nito, kaya hindi ko mapigilang tawanan siya at itulak ang mukha niya palayo.
"Kahit pakasalan mo pa lahat ng batang nagkakagusto sayo," I said and laugh at him. Tumawa na rin siya dahil sa sinabi ko at hinawakan ang aking kamay.
"Hey that's too much, I'm not a pedophile," he said and we both laughed together.
"Hi," natigil ang pagtawa namin ni Luan ng may magsalita sa harap namin, It's Ady.
Napalunok ako at napatingin kay Gun na tahimik lang nakatingin sa amin. "I've already meet everyone except from you two, Hi I'm Adelaide, Gunner's girlfriend," pagpapakilala niya at inabot ang kamay.
Luan smiles at her and says, "Hi, I'm glad to meet you, I'm Doctor. Luan Dreason," he said at inabot ang kamay nito.
Then she look at me, kaya agad kong inabot ang kanyang kamay at nakipag kamayan sa kanya. "Hi, I'm Sienna," parang may bara sa lalamunan ko habang binabangkit ko ang sarili kong pangalan.
My heart is beating too fast...
"Ohh, Ashienna Minami, Gunner's ex-girlfriend right? Hi so nice to finally meet you," I stiffed through what she said and Luan looked at me after what she said.
Parang tumigil ang pagpasok ng hangin sa aking katawan dahil sa sinabi niya, at hindi ko magawang kumurap dahil doon.
"Oh, so your Mr. Tyson," napatingin ako kay Luan ng magsalita siya at ngumiti kay Gun.
Gunner clenched his jaw and said...
"Yes, the one and only," he said and looked at me.
"Long time no see Ashienna," that's when I completely lose air.
