✦ HULING SANDALI ┋KENTELL 【✓】

thirty-six.

[STELL'S POV] | June 26, 2018

I was waiting here at the cafe na syang pinag-usapan namin until a Black car stops infront me. Lumabas dito ang isang lalaking naka Black na balot na balot. Black hoodie, Black Bucket Hat at Black Mask.

He stops right infront of me as he removes his Bucket hat and Mask.

It's Ken..

He smile in me bago nya ako bigyan ng invitation na yakapin sya. Syempre I didn't step back and hug him as he hugged me back.

"Ikaw ba talaga 'yan, Ken?" Tanong ko habang nakayakap sakanya. He chuckled softly.

"Ang Cute mo, Stell" Ana niya. His Deep voice. Mas malalim pala sa personal.

"Ikaw nga 'yan" Ana ko, But I can't stop hugging him. Sobrang Komportable ako sa Balikat nya. His scent—Ack.

"Tara sa Kotse. Kumain kana? Hanap tayo ng makakain" Pagyayaya nya sakin. Sinunod ko naman sya at pumasok sa loob.

We started our conversation, Kumain kami sa isang Fancy na Restaurant alam nyo kung saan? Sa malapit na Kwek-kwekan. Sobrang Fancy 'no?

Napagdesisyunan nya na dalhin ako sa Studio niya. There's nothing to be afraid of, Mag-isa lang naman kami—Dalawa lang kami doon.

That studio is my Dream studio. And he made me go here. He made me step on my dreams.

He asked me if shall we dance. We just dance and dance habang hindi na pinapansin ang Oras. Ang sabi nya sakin, He's Glad that I can Dance, He said his Dream person is someone He can dance with.

After that, He Volunteered na ihatid ako sa bahay. Nakakahiya syempre pero mapilit s'ya, Gusto raw nyang makita sila mama na 'Tita' na yung tawag nya.

while he's driving the music starts. Huling Sandali ito 'yung kinanta nya sakin kanina na hindi natuloy. Habang tumutugtog ang Radyo ay hinawakan nya ang mga kamay ko bago sumabay sa kanta.

"By the way, Stell. Bakit biglaan?" He asked nagising naman ako sa reyalidad bago napatingin sakanya.

"Ha?"

"Bakit biglaan na gusto mo makipag-meet?" Tanong nya uli. I don't know, I don't want to tell him na Dare lang 'to. Wala akong balak sabihin sakanya dahil wala naman akong balak na tapusin na 'yung relasyon namin.

But I know near in the Future malalaman din niya yung dahilan kung bakit in-approach ko sya.

"Hmm?" Tanong nya uli sakin

"I just want to meet you, Bakit? Bawal ba?" Tanong ko napatawa naman sya.

"For almost 2 months, Kilala na kita, Stell. Anong rason, Langga?" He asked again.

"Well.. I don't know how to start—"

"May Cancer ka? Mag-aaral ka sa states? RP'ier ka nga" Pagpuputol nya sakin na sya namang kinatawa ko.

"No, Hindi ko gagawin 'yon. Remember Josh and Justin?" I asked, He replied with 'hmm' I'll take thats as a Yes.

"Well, H-he—T-they—"

"Stell, Calm down. They, what?" Pagpuputol nya uli saakin.

"They dared me to be with you" diretsyo kong sinabi sakanya. Napatingin naman s'ya saakin na parang clueless.

"Let me finish. They dared me to be with you for one month. Now, Kinukulit na nila ako na isang Buwan na bakit hindi ko pa tapusin" I looked at him at nawala ang ngiti nito sa kanyang mga labi.

"I badly want to tell them that the dare gone wrong. I fall inlove instead" I looked at him again and tried to reach for his hands.

"Why you didn't tell me earlier?" He asked.

"I don't want to tell you because the tables have turned. Ken, I accidentally fall for you" Ana ko bago ko hawakan ang kanyang mga kamay ng mahigpit.

"You love me? For real?" He asked. I smile, para syang bata na nag-p'pout.

"Yeah, I love you. For real, Always real" I said. Hinawakan naman nya pabalik ang mga kamay ko.

"Wala kanang itatago sakin ha. Wala na" Ana niya, Napatawa naman ako bago tumango.

"I love you, Kenji" Ana ko, He looked at me before he smiles at me.

"I love you too—" Ana nito ngunit naputol siya noong masilaw kami sa isang Malaking Ilaw na nasa harapan ng Kotse ni Ken.

Mabilis ang pangyayari, Ang Huli kong natatandaan ay nakapalibot ang Buong Braso at kamay ni Ken sa Ulo ko habang yakap yakap ako.

"Live for me, Stell. I love you"

That's the last thing I remember before my Vision became blurred.
