"Anna" tawag ko sa kanya, napalingon siya at nakangiting tumingin sa'kin.
"Anna agad, porket alam mo na nickname ko" aniya at tumawa. Hindi ako nagsalita at agad siya niyakap. Ramdam ko ang pagkagulat niya.
"I miss you" saad ko. Binitawan ko siya at agad siya hinawakan sa pisnge.
"Raige, miss you so much, I miss you so much" saad ko, I saw how shock she is, as if she was seeing a ghost right in front of her. Dahan dahan niyang hinawakan ang pisnge ko dahilan para pumatak ang luha niya.
"R-raige" aniya at niyakap ako, after 11 years of not meeting each other, we reunited, my first bestfriend, my first friend, my first pal, my first buddy, my childhood bestfriend, it was one of the best feeling, 11 years and finally we've met again.
Nakatingin ako kay Hanna na simula kanina hanggang ngayon nakatingin parin siya sa'kin. Nasa kwarto kaming dalawa. Nakaupo siya sa study table niya at nakatingin sa'kin na nag gigitara.
"What?" Tanong ko. Agad siyang tumakbo at hinampas ako.
"Grabeh, I didn't expect it, it was you the whole time, kaya pala ang dami niyong common, Ang lakie mo na, Raige" naluluha niyang saad.
"Loko!" Saad ko at tumawa.
"Pero tama ka, it's unexpected, you're my first on everything" saad ko, napangiti naman siya at hinampas ulit ako.
"Na miss kita, ang liit pa natin nun" aniya at tumawa.
"Maliit ka parin ngayon" saad ko, Nakita ko ang pag kanis niya kayat natawa ako.
"I was just kidding" saad ko at ngumiti.
"I'll sing you a song" saad ko, napatingin naman siya sa'kin na nakakunot ang noo.
Inayos ko muna ang guitar ko at nagsimula sa pag tugtug.
"Do you remember when I said I'd always be there?Ever since we were eight, baby
When we were out on the playground playing pretend I didn't know it back then" kanta ko sa first part ng song, agad naman siyang ngumiti dahil sa pagpalit ko ng ibang lyrics.
"Now I realize you were the only one
It's never too late to show it, Grow old together, Have feelings we had before
Back when we were so innocent" pagpatuloy ko sa pagkanta. Kumuha naman siya ng phone at nag video sa'kin.
"I pray for all your love
Girl our love is so unreal, I just wanna reach and touch you, squeeze you, Somebody pinch me (I must be dreamin'), This is something like a movie, And I don't know how it ends girl, But I fell in love with my best friend" pagpatuloy ko at nginitian siya.
"I fell in love with my best friend" pagtapos ko sa chorus, binaba ko ang guitar ko at tinaasan siya ng kilay.
"How was it?" Tanong ko.
"Beautiful, ang galing mo" aniya at ngumiti.
"You're more beautiful" saad ko, natawa siya at hinampas na naman ako.
"Ewan ko sayo! Alis, matutulog na ako" aniya at humiga sa kama. Umalis din ako sa kama at tinago ang guitar pagkatapos humiga na din ako sa bedsheet na inilapag niya sa sahig.
"Thank you, Raige" saad nito, umangat ako ng tingin at ginawa kong unan ang braso ko.
"For what?" Tanong ko sa kanya.
"For making me happy" aniya. Napangiti ako habang nakahiga.
"Anything for you" saad ko sa kanya. Hindi ko kita ang mukha niya pero dinig ko ang mahina niyang tawa.
