Chapter 05
Memorize
-----
I have been lying on my bed for hours now and a notification popped on my phone while I was busy scrolling on my social media accounts. The notification came from my Facebook account, saying someone added me to be his friend. I checked it and my cheeks instantly heated after seeing the name of the person who added me.
Joseph Lucianno T. Lizardo sent you a friend request.
I stared at my phone for a long time while biting my lower lip because of the notification I received. I licked my lower lip before clicking his profile to stalk him. His profile picture was of him in a black tuxedo while playing an elegant piano. His background was the red long curtains while a spotlight was on him which made me guessed that this photo was taken from the contest that Mommy was always bragging about.
Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs. -Proverbs 10:12, Joseph's bio on his account. He has, at least, three thousand followers and two hundred friends on his Facebook account. His cover photo was a piano with hands on it, playing a song, I guessed. I concluded that they were his hands since the watch that the hand was wearing in the photo was the exact watch he always wears in school.
His timeline was full of pianist memes and such. He also shared some bible verses weeks ago. The only photos he was posting was his piano whenever he plays for fun or practice. The mood of his timeline was changing every shared post. Some are about the games he played and wanted to play, about the food he wanted to eat, and most of the time was his experience of playing the piano.
I stalked him more and saw that his cousins are always tagging him every time they post pictures with him. His relatives were on it, too. Mukha namang hindi siya ganoon kahilig sa pag-kuha ng litrato dahil madalas kong makita sa mga larawan na kasama siya ay maliit lamang ang mga ngiti na pinapakita niya. Minsan pa nga ay parang pilit pa.
When I was done stalking him, I accepted his friend request. I let out a heavy breathe before checking my timeline to see if there's something I need to hide from him. Ayokong may mapuna siya sa akin kaya dapat ay masigurado kong malinis at maayos ang timeline ko. I deleted all the embarrassing posts and shared posts that I did this past few weeks to make myself feel better from the embarrassment that I almost experience.
Napaayos ako ng upo sa pagkaka-higa ko mula sa aking kama nang may lumabas na bilog sa screen ng phone ko. It has Joseph's profile, so, I know he chatted. I bit my lower lip before going to my Messenger to check his chats. I instantly blushed upon realizing that he sent me a message first. Oh, dear God.
Joseph Lucianno: hi
Joseph Lucianno: what took you so long to accept my request?
Joseph Lucianno: Are you busy?
I pursed my lips before prostrating on my bed. The aircon in my room was on, but my face felt so hot while I was typing my reply to him. I know that he already knows that I saw his chats which made him wait for my reply to him. I was carefully typing my reply to him, so, I won't be holding any embarrassment if ever.
Lovely: I'm sorry. Ngayon ko lang nakita friend request mo.
Lovely: Yup, I was busy earlier.
Lovely: Not now though
Busy stalking you.
I chuckled when I found myself lying to him because of what I really did earlier. I stalked him too much that I accepted his friend request after almost an hour of stalking him. Well... That was a white lie. Ayokong ilaglag ang sarili ko. Ayokong ipahiya ang sarili ko sa kaniya, 'no!
