Nasa labas pa rin si Ate Kahlia at Kellin nang lapitan ako ni Amity.

"Feel free to sit down." Anas ko ng may ilang minuto siyang tumayo sa harap ko.

"I just wanted to ask if you want anything to eat." May lambing sa boses niyang tanong.

Tinitigan ko siya. She's still gorgeous even though years passed by. She still possess the goddess-like beauty. Her eyes as black as the night sky still glowing as if it weren't became cloudy when we part ways. Her nose is still pointy as ever whilst her luscious lips shimmer like a real rose bud. Her long natural wavy hair bounces back and fourth as she made a single gesture. Her body figure is like a masterpiece of a great artist.

I heard her clear her throat that give me back my normal senses.

"Oh!" I exclaimed out of shame or somethin'.

"I just have thoughts in my mind. I didn't mean to stare at you." Palusot ko.

"It's alright my baby. So, anything you wanted to eat?" Aniya.

"No. I'm full. Thanks by the way." Tanggi ko. Hindi ako makaramdam ng gutom sa mga nangyayare ngayon.

"You sure?"

Tumango ako. Akala ko aalis na siya pero naupo siya sa tabe ko.

"Mind if we talk about you?" Diretsang tanong niya.

Nilingon ko siya.

"Mind If I don't wanted to answer you." Tugon ko naman. Hindi na ata talaga maalis sa'ken ang ugaling iyon. Inborn na ata o sadyang ayoko lang na pinag-uusapan ang sarili ko.

Nanahimik siya.

"Asy told me that you're good in singing." Aniya.

"I just practice." Maikli kong tugon. Ibinaling ko rin ang tingin ko kay Ate. Hindi ko din maintindihan ang sarili ko kung bakit sinasagot ko ang tanong niya samantalang kakatanggi ko lang na sasagutin ko ang mga iyon kanina.

"And you're vocalist of a band you named after you and your sister's name."

"Uhㅡhuh!"

"How was the experience being in a band?" Muli'y tanong niya.

"Quite good."

"What do you mean? Is that your passion?" Tanong ulit niya.

"I guess so." Tugon ko ulit.

"I'm sorry if I ask questions about you. It's just that I wanted to know you more." Aniya.

Pinili kong tingnan siya.

"Sa totoo lang. Hindi ko alam kung paano kita patutunguhan. Hindi ako sanay sa presence mo e." Mahabang sabe ko.

"Okay lang kahit ituring mo kong naaayon sa kagustuhan mo. You can treat me anything you want because I don't have the rights to demand."

"Siguro nga. I accidentally set my mind to curse or worst loathe you."

"Yeah. I expect that and it's alright. I fully understand why but can you please lend me your heart for you to feel the love a mother can give."

Tumango-tango ako.

"Do you really wanted to know me?" Tanong ko sa kanya.

"Yes. Definitely my baby."

"Go on. Ask me again." Utos ko sa kanya.

Maluha-luha siyang tumingin sa'ken saka muling nagtanong.
