"Really? You know how to play ukelele?" Gulat kong tanong.
"Yes, I do."
"Can you play it in front of me? If you want. Still your choice."
Gusto ko lang marinig. Dahil dati pa lang pangarap ko na 'yong ukelele kaso hindi ako bumibili, I don't even know how to use it.
"Wait. I'll just get it. Wait for me." I nodded and let him get his instrument.
After a few minutes, he's holding his ukelele. I am excited to hear it!
"Do you know how to sing?" He asked me.
"Yes. I know how." I answered.
I think I know what he wants to happen.
"Can we sing while I'm playing this?" Referring the ukelele.
"Of course!" I nodded.
"We'll start. Are you ready?"
"Sige. Let's start."
He started to strum the ukelele with his soft and long fingers. His nails are so nice.
"You would not believe your eyes." Simula ko.
"If ten million fireflies." He sing.
"Lit up the world as I fell asleep, 'Cause they fill the open air."
He looked at me, "And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare." Umiwas kaagad siya at luminga sa dagat.
"I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly. It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep."
"'Cause everything is never as it seems."
"'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs, from ten thousand lightning bugs. As they tried to teach me how to dance"
"A foxtrot above my head. A sock hop beneath my bed. A disco ball is just hanging by a thread."
"I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly. It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep. 'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)" We sang together.
"Wow!" I clapped my hands. "You are so good at playing ukelele." Manghang sabi ko.
"Thank you. You are good at singing. I thought sa pagtataray ka lang magaling."
"Wow. I am so sorry, huh? I'm trying my best nga to hold my katarayan when it comes to you." For the first time. I didn't roll my eyes.
You just don't roll your eyes, Adva. You are just controlling yourself. Nothing more!
"So it means... I am special?" He smirked.
"What?! No! I mean..." Oh, paano na 'to. Wala akong maisip! "I mean... ano–"
"You mean, what?" He teased while smiling.
"Ha? Utot mo! I don't l-like you. I will never ever like you!" He laughed. Why? Is there something wrong of what I've said?
"I didn't said that you like me. Why are you so defensive?"
"I am not. Inunahan lang kita. What I mean by holding my katarayan when it comes to you, I just want to have friends with you! Nothing more." Finally! I have reason now.
"And... hindi pa kita gusto. Alright?" Ilang seconds, narealized ko.
"Hindi 'pa' kita gusto. You mean, there's a chance na magustuhan mo ako?"
