longing. (an embodiment of physical touch)

𝑫𝒐 𝑵𝒐𝒕 𝑷𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒄!

I felt the world has stopped spinning, and neither of us had moved for 5 minutes. I don't know, but there's something in his eyes. It's clinging for me to trust in him and stay kinda thing?

Silence can be heard, yeah. I looked around the lobby and I saw people staring and holding their phones up for a snap or a record of us here. I know I said earlier when I woke up, it would be a great day because of the morning scent. Well, experiencing this kind of awkward catch ain't it.

I immediately got up from the catch and fixed myself and said, "Thanks Dexx but, not in front of people." I left him hanging there and went upstairs as quick as possible.

I headed to the elevator and I saw a long ass line in front. Nag-panic ako slight kasi noong pagkakita ko sa watch ko to check time, it's almost 10 minutes late from 1:20 PM. So syempre nag-panic ako. Usually when I'm having these panic attacks, I would cling on to my circle. Unfortunately, wala sila near me.

Pumila ako sa mahabang pila ng elevator and waited for it to reach me at least. While waiting, nakasalubong ko 'yung bwisit na clingy, kahit may jowa naman.

"Uy, Dein! Ganda mo doon sa Bumble profile mo ah." Nagulat ako noong sinabi niya iyon in front of a line.

Nanlaki mata ko sa kanya at binigyan siya ng warning signal, indicating to shut his mouth at times.

By the way, the bastard's name is Ryman. Oo, 'yung nakita ko one time sa Bumble. May jowa siya pero may Bumble, at nasa dating mode pa! Imagine kung nakailang swipe right siya roon? Alam kaya ito ng kanyang jowa? Such a flirt.

Oh siya, balik tayo sa pila. Ayun, medyo matagal pa atang aandar ito. Marami kasi kami rito eh, mga 30. Eh ang capacity ng mga elevator namin dito is 16. Kaso, nasa pang-apat sa dulo na ako ng pila. Ang saya grabe, ang saya talaga.

I felt my phone vibrated. I picked it up and I saw Ayonah's name popped up. I answered the call.

[Hello Syd, nasaan ka raw? Hanap ka ni ma'am, nag-aattendance na kasi eh.]

"Yonah, ang bagal ng elevator jusko. Pasabi kay ma'am nakapila ako sa elev, please?"

[(Ma'am, apparently Ms. Merfort was stuck on the line down at the elevator.) Ayan Syd, nasabi ko na.]

"Okay sige sige, I'll see you kapag nakaakyat na ako ha? Thank you, ba-bye."

I looked at my watch again and I saw how fast the time is. Lagpas 15 minutes na from 1:20 PM ang oras. I looked at the other people's faces, and saw nothing but irritated looks and impatiently waiting for the line to move.

Habang inaantay 'yung pila, I suddenly realized that my hands are light. I looked down if I dropped something, pero wala naman. I looked at my back kung may hawak siya, wala rin. Then I realized . . . na nawawala 'yung acquaintance gift sa akin ni Erah!

Wait, yung gift sa akin ni Erah, nawawala? Hala, diba nagka-eksena kami kanina ni Dexx, all that catching me and stuff . . . Oh no, baka nakuha niya! Hala paano ito?!

I panicked once more and this time, I dropped a knee to the floor. People around me were looking down on me. Bigla ata akong nahiya, while putting my hands over my head. I need water, pero saan ako kukuha ng tubig kung hindi ata gumagana 'yung mga drinking fountains dito? Kung umalis naman ako sa pila, then it would cost them a spot. Oh God, I'm really panicking.

"Iha, okay ka lang? Nanginginig ka ata." A lady guard in charge of the line came towards me to check on me. I said that I needed water, and luckily, she got an emergency packed water, and I immediately drink it. I thanked the guard, and I tried to stand up, despite getting dizzy.
