THE DIVINE ENCOUNTER

Chapter 28:LIBRARY

Chapter 28:LIBRARY

ROWOON KO

I SAW Randy heading to the Library where I heading too. Mukhang maganda ang gising dahil mukhang groovy habang naglalakad. Hindi siguro ito gumimik kagabi dahil maaga siya ngayon at hindi late, "himala!"

Hinayaan ko lang siya na maglakad at pinapanood sa mga kilos na ginagawa niya minsan masarap din itong panoorin eh. Kayang pasayahin ang sarili kahit noong mga bata pa lang kami.

Madalas dito kami naglalagi simula nang nag med school kami dahil sa dami naming aaralin at kakabisaduhin kailangan namin ng tahimik na lugar sa campus.

Pero minsan iba din ang motive ni Randy sa pagpunta, minsan pag aaral pero madalas ang pagsilay sa mga chicka babes.

Feeling ko nga minsan ginagawang dating place or platform ng mga blindates itong library kasi sa 4 years naming pagtambay dito marami rami na rin siyang nai-date rito.

"Haist walang respeto sa school basta siya makakapagpa display ng kapogian niya. Infairness he got the looks naman talaga and a little brains."

I saw him stop and turn around, "my goodness mukhang na sense ako ng mokong."

"Hey, dude! I know you're watching me afar. What are you thinking? Don't ridiculous man!" Randy points his 2 hands in front of me like a gun.

"W-what? M-me? What are you talking about dude?" Answering him while pointing my finger to my chest.

"Oh! C'mon, dude don't be kidding me!"

"I'm not a dude!" bursting myself into laughter

"C'mon Ro I got you! I know you're terrible at lying."

"I'm telling the truth, Rands."

"No you are not!" accusing me

"Trust me, dude!" pag aalo ko sa kanya.

"I know you, well."

"Okay, okay, fine! You got me!"

"See? Kahit utot mo alam na alam ko at kilalang kilala ko na."

"You're so gross, Rands!"

Tawa ng tawa si Randy ng walang humpay hanggang sa mabangga niya ang isang babae na kamuntikan ng tumihaya dahil sa lakas ng impact ng pagkakabangga nito. Napahawak si Randy sa likuran ng babae habang nagkakatitigan sila, biglang may pumasok sa isip ko ng mga oras na iyon.

Si Jam. Si Kay. Si Jamila Kay Lopez.

"What is wrong with me?" biglang nanlamig ang katawan ko sa tuwing naaalala ko ang mga nangyayari this past few days.

Kahit saan lugar o sulok ng mundo siya ang parati kong naiisip at naaalala. She is my the one that got away. Ang cheesy isipin pero totoo at seryosong nae-experience ko.

Jam bothers me a lot more than Arlene my ex-girlfriend who has been with me since my second year of college. I was not affected by our break-ups but very thankful and very timely that I got bumped with Jam. Jam, was my simple and long-time crush, a classmate in Elementary, and just my everyday acquaintance in school when I'm young.

"Hmm is this destiny or fate? Whatever?"

Very timely kasi talaga dahil I broke up with Arlene just recently, Friday afternoon after my class went with her. All of a sudden she just said that we need to separate our ways and never see each other again. Nakakagulat isipin na hello parang okay pa tayo ng Thursday then Friday biglang galit galit na tayo. I ask her if she found someone but she said that she wanted to rest from the pressure of life, strange but slowly progressing those things I guess may purpose. Arlene was not just my girlfriend but also one of my best friends because she knows everything happening in my life, struggles, and trials like Randy and the Apartment Boys.
