Pakiramdam ko huminto yung oras when I saw Pat smiling at me from a distance. Parang nawala na sa isip ko kung nasaan kami and all I want to do was to just be with her. I made my way palapit sa kanila.
"Ah. Kaya pala."sabi ni Nicole at nakita ko na kinurot siya ni Pat.
"Hi."sabi ko and I smiled. I realized how beautiful Pat really was. She was all smiles and she had her hair down today. Hindi mo nanaman makita yung mga mata niya and I realized na the only trade off of not looking into her eyes is having to look at her beautiful smile and I would take that any day. Naramdaman kong kumabog yung dibdib ko in time with the music. She was just staring at me too.
"Hi."sabi niya.
"I thought nasa Pangasinan ka?"tanong ko.
"Yeah, uhm. Nag-aya kasi sila bigla na umakyat ng Baguio eh. So, ayan. We're here."
"Why didn't you text me?"tanong ko sa kanya.
"Eh I didn't want to disturb your family time."sagot niya and I just smiled.
"Naririnig mo ba yan? It's our song."sabi ko sa kanya.
"Ha? Wala naman tayong song ah."sabi ni Pat habang nakakunot-noo niyang iniisip kung ano yung sinasabi ko.
"Nauntog ka ba on the way here? Pakinggan mo. Kanta natin yan."sabi ko habang natatawa ako sa kanya at mukhang pinapakinggan niya ulit. I realized na umulit yung kanta and the intro was playing again.
"Ah nga pala guys, si Agnes. Agnes, friends ko."sabi ni Pat.
"So ikaw pala si Agnes. Ikaw pala yung jowa ni Pachuchay."
"Grabe guys. Bakit kailangan niyo pang sabihin yan?"sabi ni Pat. At nakita ko na namula siya bigla.
"Bakit? Totoo naman di ba? Ikaw naman talaga yung jowa ni Pat?"sabi nung isang friend niya sa 'kin.
"May girlfriend ka na ulit?"tanong ni Clarisse.
Hindi ko pa nga pala nakwento sa kanila yung tungkol sa 'min ni Pat and how messy everything was. And to be honest, nakalimutan kong kasama ko sila nung nakita ko si Pat kanina.
"Yes."
"No."
Bigla kaming nagkatinginang dalawa and I almost frowned. Ito nanaman kaming dalawa.
"Ay. So ano talaga?"sabi nung friend ni Pat.
"Pat's technically not my girlfriend,"sabi ko.
"At least not yet."
