LIGAYA AUREA GARCIA
Kaela is leading our way to the library, I just following her every footstep, ang laki ng pinagbago nitong campus. Nadagdagan ang mga naglalakihang buildings at ngayo'y nasa malawak na hallway kami, paliko-liko nang lakad until we've reached the dark brown door and tinted side windows of this room.
Nanginginig ang mga tuhod at kamay ko, imagining how I will approach him and how our conversation will go.
"Samahan kita sa loob, sis?" I really wanted her to accompany me 'till inside but I think it's not gonna help if she will. "Dito ka na lang, Kaela. Thank you ah," I thanked her before I could step my right feet and open the door. She smiled widely, showing her full support.
I do inhale and exhale many times to calm myself, and it helps somehow.
I roamed my eyes around, searching where seat he was. And there I found him, in the last and back row of chairs with tables, near the book shelves.
His table was filled of large books and seems difficult to lift. I little by little turned my steps in his place, my eyes were slowly being blurry and wiped the tears started to escape. I can't even believe that we'll cross again, and in this way.
My body stopped from moving, having hesitation if should I continue this? I shook my head, no, not this time that he's just few steps away from me.
I was about to move and directly come to him close when his head suddenly lift up and his sight switched towards mine. I was surprised and lost the guts to create any movement. He was surprised too that made his eyes went round.
"Li-ligaya?" He stoop up as he cited my name. I gave up, I rapidly runned towards Davian and weakly hugged him.
"D-davian I-im so sorry, I didn't mean to leave nor block our connections but..." .
"Sshhh, don't cry over me, please?" He gently caressed my head, lumayo sa pagkakayakap at pinunasan ang tumulong likido sa aking pisngi.
Napayuko ako, naniwala ako sa sariling hindi maiiyak at magiging matatag subalit heto na naman tayo, naniwala sa akalang kakayanin ko.
Pinagtulak niya ako ng upuan na katapat ng lamesa niya, hindi naman siya nagbabasa kaya napakunot ang noo ko sa mga ito sa kabila ng pag-iyak kanina. Ang kakapal pa ng pages nila, hindi ba siya nahihilo rito?
I heard him softly giggled noticing me being curious in the books on the table we were sitting in. How he can even manage his looks staying good whatever the situation is? What I want to to say is, he became more handsome— he's totally massive today. A matured and well-figured man, that anyone can get attracted of.
"Hey! 'No ba yan Gaya huwag ka naman ganyan kung makatingin, nothing can worry about my face, still have the charisma, right?" Bringing back the vibes what actually made me to like him, noon pa man hanggang sa ngayon.
We talked a lot, he confessed too the truth about Cinthia. Na wala naman palang katotohanan ang chismis na kumakalat. Gayon pa man, magkakilala lang daw sila na naging magkagrupo sa activities kaya madalas ang pagkikita at halubilo.
"Pero sabi ni Kaela nakita pa raw niya ang convos natin nuon at sobrang affected..." Hindi ko nayari ang sinasabi nang napatawa ito at naghawi ng buhok.
Nag-alanganan ang mukha niya na parang may ginawang kasalanan. Sabi ko na nga ba, may hindi talaga tama—
"It was my favor to Kaela when I knew the news about you, yung nangyari sa iyo noon. Oo, nagtampo ako sobra sa'yo dati dahil biglaan ang lahat. But promise, I never court anyone or change you just to forget all the pains. When I did the first move to chat you, I already prepared myself incase my heart get scars, that's how you took my soul, and heart, Gaya." Mahabang lintiyahan nito.
Napatingin ako sa ibaba, realizing how good person he is. Na-realize ko ring mali talaga ang mag-overthink ng sobra. Masasayang lang ang igagana ng utak.
Wala ako sa lugar na napangiti sa kaniya, kailangan ko na ring umuwi sa dati naming bahay, kung saan sa akin inilipat ang pangalan ng titulo kaya aayusin ko muna. Nagpaalam na rin ako dahil may klase pa siya. Pinaalala lamang niya ulit na i-unblock na ang socials niya na ikinatawa ko.
He guided me up to this campus main gate, and do the job to find me a cab to go home.
