So open your eyes and see
The way our horizons meet
And all of the lights will lead
Into the night with me..
And I know the scars will bleed
But of our hearts believe
All of the stars will guide us home..
We were watching the stars in the sky on the balcony of our house in the middle of the night, after our wedding party.
Nakayakap ako sa kanya habang nakatingala kaming parehas sa kalangitan.
And just like the song.. Maybe, maybe it's true that the stars guided us home, back in each others arms.
"Are you happy?" I asked her while leaning on her neck to kiss her.
"Very much.." she said, almost whispering.
I'm happy too. Today is the happiest day of my life because finally, I got her. She's in my arms now and I know from this day on, we are now a team.
Back then, it was so hard for me to be near her because she's so intimidating.
"Nikko, sino 'yon?" tanong ko sa kanya nung makaupo na siya sa tabi ko.
May kinakausap kasi siyang babae kanina na parang ngayon ko lang nakita.
"Sino?" nagtatakang tanong niya. "Ahh.. Si Ysabel? Kaibigan ko, bestfriend sana kaso ayaw niya ng ganoon," tumawa pa siya pagkatapos sabihin iyon.
That's the first time I saw her. She's always with Selene, iyong kapitbahay ko at kaklase ko noong Elementary.
Natatawa pa ako kapag nakakasalubong ko sila dahil salita ng salita si Selene pero si Ysabel ay tahimik lang at paminsan minsan ay iniikot ang mata sa kausap.
I always looked at her and because of that I already knew her mannerism. She's always rolling her eyes at someone, I don't know if she meant it or she's just like that.
I was a transferee that's why I'm not familiar with anyone here but I got to get along because of Nikko. My parents are working abroad that's why I'm living with Lola Helena.
My parents are high school sweet hearts. Kaya naniniwala ako na sa High school ko din makikita ang babaeng makakasama ko habang buhay. And I guess I already found the one. Being inlove in today's generation is scary but I will take the risk.
"Oy! Si Ysabel, ipapakilala kita. Type mo yun di ba?" sabi ni Nikko.
She's a snob.
But atleast she know my existence from now on.
I tried to be friends with her. Not because I liked her, but because I want to know her more.
My intentions are pure but when we started talking and started to get along with each other, I think I fell harder for her. I don't know if it's right to tell her but I know I am being unfair. I asked her to become my friend but I am now inlove with her.
We were so closed and I think I will ruined what we have if I tell her what I am feeling.
Hanggang sa pinagtapat ko na nga ang nararamdaman ko. Alam ko naman sa simula pa lang na hindi niya matatanggap dahil malinaw ang naging usapan namin na kaibigan lang talaga.
"Hindi kita gusto," malinaw na sabi niya at nakatitig pa sa mata ko.
That's it.
I'm hurt but atleast she already know my feelings and I have nothing to hide now. I asked Selene and Nikko to look for her because I want her safe. Always.
I dated girls who confessed to me but it didn't work out to anyone. Because I know who owns my heart and I will always come back to her.
And when I pushed my luck again, finally, she gave me a chance. I was the happiest then but my parents called me, months before my graduation.
