                                           *************************

                               “here we are” wika ko...nasa pinaka dulo kami ng park, ito ang part ng school kung saan pwede kong gawin ang lahat ng gusto kong gawin. It’s like having your private place

Binuksan ko ang pinto ng isang abandoned room na inangkin ko na malapit sa sapa...parte parin ng iskwelahan nila ang sapa pero dahil nasa likuran na ito at liblib ang lugar dahil sa mapunong kapaligiran ay takot ang mga estudyanteng magawi man lang roon

And because of its ambience ay maraming natatakot at gumawa ng mga kwento tungkol sa lugar—tulad ng may mga putol na ulo na makikitang nag lalakad, isang white lady na nang aakit sa mga kalalakihan tsaka ito kukunin, at maraming pang iba...mga tsismis na ni minsan ay hindi nya pinaniwalaan

But of course that didn’t stop him for coming to the place, the place got his attention when he has his research in the school library about the place and the origin of the scary stories that are rooming around, and to satisfy his curiosity he decided to search the place for himself and hindi nga sya nag kamali na puro chismis lang ang tungkol dito

Because the moment he set his eyes on the middle part of the place where in the river was located he thought that the place was beautiful. Lalo na sa ilalim ng bilog na buan ay tila ito isang paraiso—the water was sparkling like little diamond in the surface of the earth through the light that coming from up above.

And from that moment on he knows that he just found his place in that school, he always thought that being in that school will bore him because most people are coming out together, I mean they can’t go to lunch without having a friend to escort them—even boys are like that—what are they girls?tsk

“ui...wait lang” takot na sabi ng kasama nya—tsk I should’ve known better than bringing a girl in here, syempre isa lang namang normal na babae si James na normal lang ding natatakot sa lugar dahil na rin siguro sa mga nababalitaan nito sa ibang tao

“don’t worry walang multo dito” nakakasigurong sambit nya

“no...I’m not afraid of ghost silly” she said and giggled on something I don’t know

“then why won’t you come in?” tanong ko sa kontorladong boses...para kasi akong napahiya sa pag tawa nito

“gusto ko lang itanong kung bakit may ganyan dito...and kung bakit allowed kang pumasok jan” tanong nito na ngumuso pa sa bahay na nasa harapan nila akala mo naman close sila...aba’t nagiging komportable na ata ito sakanya

“well Its my private place...people don’t come here so I use this abandoned house to be my hide out” I said while looking at the place with pride in me “and I rebuild the house so I could put more security—baka may mag ghost hunting dito at makita lahat ng ito ay maisipan pa akong nakawan” pag bibiro ko pa

“ahhh kaya pala hindi ko mabukas nong minsang nag punta ako dito...” sabi nito tila kausap ang sarili habang nag titingin tingin sa paligid

“What? You are coming here alone?” gulat na tanong nya pero hindi nya pinahalata, what’s with this girl going out here...e ang alam ng lahat may multo dito panong wala lang ito sa kanya...don’t tell me she’s not really afraid of ghost

Sa gulat nya ay tumango lang ito at patuloy sa pag tingin tingin sa paligid “I come here whenever I’m sad because it has a river and she gestures at the river, it gives me peace sometimes...pero once ko palang nakita itong maliit na bahay na ito...tingin mo dating may nakatira rito?kasi mukahang bahay talaga sya e...” pag kukwento nito...

“your not afraid that maybe there would be ghost around here?” tanong ko hindi inintindi ang tanong nito

“nope...when I was a freshmen and the higher years saying that this place is out of bound because of the famous story of the ghost...I was actually trilled that maybe its my chance to see a ghost for the first time...but when I was here there’s nothing in here...I even camp here once and told my mom I was staying in one of my friends house to see if the story is true pero hindi naman pala...” mahabang pahayag nito and I was there listening with open mouth—wow is all that I can think of...she’s really brave huh? Ibang iba sa inakala ko

                               “hahahaha” tawa ng tawa si Charlie after ng pag ku-kwento ko about sa experience ko sa lugar...I really didn’t expect it that he will actually laugh at what I’ve said pero natutuwa na rin ako na napasaya ko sya

dalawang araw ko na kasi syang hindi nakikitang naka smile dahil sa isang bagay na bumabagabag dito...I even once saw him drinking with Aki...well nasa isang bar sila ni Aki noon and I was with ren with our common friends...and I saw how his face turn into a grim while saying something to Aki sayang nga’t napakalayo namin sa table nila para marinig ang pinag uusapan nila

He was so handsome while laughing...it’s as if making me want to touch his face and tell him to smile everyday because it completes my day every time I can see his smiles...I was so engross with his laughter and didn’t notice that he stop laughing and looking at me with amazement in his eyes

“You’re so brave! I can’t believe you are...lagi ka lang kasing tahimik” sabi nito na tila pinupunasan pa ang luhang kumawala sa tindi ng pag tawa nito

“well since birth kasi nag go-ghost hunting nako kahit sa bahay...” pag kukwento ko pa

“wow...same tayo! I’m glad we had something in common” natutuwang sabi nito at dahil doon nag blush ako kaya agad akong tumalikod at nag hanap ng something na pwedeng sabihin dito para hindi ako mag mukhang bastos na tinalikuran ito

He just said that he’s glad to have something in common with me! I can’t believe I will have the chance to hear such thing from him...I mean he’s my crush for like forever and I never heard anything from him besides answering a simple questions that you will ask him

“well what’s with the urgency at kelangan pa nating mag tago para makapag usap lang” sabi ko at kunwa ay nakatingin sa globe na nasa kabilang sulok ng kwarto at pinapaikot ikot ito ng unti unti

“remember when I told you that you owe me?” nag aanlinlangang sabi nito

“yeah what about it? Nakaisip kana ng kapalit sa tulong mo?” tanong ko na napakunot ang noo ng bahagya

“yeah...if it’s okay” nag aalinlangan parin ito tila nahihiyang humingi ng tulong

“shoot” sabi nya at hinarap ito para mas makita ang mukha nito...and she did the right thing dahil parang bata ito na humuhingi ng libring lollipop sa tindero...ang cute cute nitong tignan—napa smile nalang sya sa loob loob nya

“c-can you be my girl?”
