Mile's Apart.

16

halos di na ako makatulog at nakatingin lang sa sing-sing sa ring finger ko.

"ah, nababaliw na ako, zaven seth" i whispered and covered my face with my hands.

its already 3 am and i cant even sleep.
nakailang tayo na ako para uminom ng gatas sa baba pero wala padin.

kinuha ko ang cellphone ko para mag Instagram nalang. e, wala akong magawa!

i was scrolling through my feed when something caught my attention.

zaven's ig post.

it had 7 slides. the first one was me picking out clothes in h&m!

mas nagulat pa ako pagka scroll ko. it was a picture of me stuffing my face with my croissant!

yung sunod naman, picture ko yun habang kumakain ng ice cream! meron pa sa ilong ko!

yung pang apat, naka dress ako sa fitting room ng h&m! naka-hawak ako sa pisngi ko.

the next one was me looking nervous while looking at the vikings ride! halatang-halata sa muka ko na kinakabahan ako. naka cross pa ang mga kamay ko!

the next slide was me smiling. my backround was the sunset at the sea side of moa. you can tell i was very happy.

ofcourse im happy! im with zaven!

the last picture was him holding my hand.

i looked at the caption.

'mundo'

i saw that he also had an ig story. it was a picture of the sunset we saw earlier. there was even a song playing.

san darating ang mga salita
na nanggagaling sa aming dalawa
kung lumisan ka, wag naman sana

the song was mundo by IV of spades.

ika'y kumapit na, nang di makawala
akin sinta, ikaw na ang tahanan at mundo
sa pagbalik, mananatili na sa piling mo
mundo'y magiging ikaw.

dun na nag end ang kanya. the song was beautiful and calm.

i liked his post and even read some of the comments.

@a.riaa
EDI KAYO NA, KAMI NA SINGLE

i laughed at aria's comment.

@tashaaustria

@ljmartinez

mabilis kong binuksan yon para mabasa.

@zavenvascos

sleep, elara. its late na

mag rereply na sana ako nang biglang may tumawag sakin.

messenger
zav is calling.....

nagulat ako pero sinagot ko din naman. nakita ko syang naka higa at naka tago ang muka sa kumot na puti, pero kita ko parin ang mata nya.

parehas kami ng posisyon pero hindi nakatago ang muka ko. halata pa ang eye bags ko!

"hey..." he said in a bedroom voice. i can tell he was sleepy because of his voice.

"hi" ngumiti ako "why did you call? is something wrong?" i worriedly asked. baka may nangyari kaya sya tumawag.

"no no, nothing happened." he chuckled. hay nako! so gwapo naman nang tawa! "i just miss your voice, that's all." he reasoned.

"zaven, we just saw each other kanina." tumawa ako.

"i know....miss na kita." pumikit sya, halatang nahiya sa sinabi nya.

i blinked twice. i miss him too!

"gusto mo..umm" i couldn't even say it!

"hm?" i heard him.

"gusto mo pumunta dito?" di na ako makatingin sakanya at naka tingin sa malayo.

he didn't talk. kinabahan tuloy ako! maybe he thought im wierd or something!

"are you sure? i mean im fine with it its just that..you might feel uncomfortable." he said.

"im sure, come here naa" i smiled at him.

"ask tito and tita first, and ill ask permission from mom." he smiled back.

mas napangiti ako! yes! "okay." masaya kong sabi. ngumiti sya bago i-end ang call.

tumayo ako at pumunta sa kwarto nila mama at tatay. i opened the door quietly and saw them sleeping peacefully.

lumapit ako kay mama. kapag si tatay baka kasi di kami payagan! si mama naman shipper namin ni zaven!

"mama.." i slightly shook her body so she can wake up. "mama" i tried again.

and for the third time. "mama..."

"oh?" tumingin sya sakin. "what happened, anak? may problema ba?" she worriedly asked.

"ah..wala, umm...mama" kabado ko syang tinawag. "pwede matulog dito si zaven?" tanong ko, kinakabahan padin.

"oo naman, wag lang kayo maingay, ha? baka magising mga tita mo..." she warned me.

agad naman akong tumango at lumabas na sa kwarto nila.

sun :

you can come. pinayagan ka ba??

he replied immediately.

zav :
yeah, she said yes. im on my way na

hindi na ako nag reply at nag ayos nalang.

inayos ko ang kama ko at nag spray ng perfume para mabango. inayos ko na din ang sarili ko. ofcourse kaylangan maganda! duh!

suot ko ngayon ay beige na cardigan sweater at black shorts. nakalugay ang buhok ko kaya sinuklay ko muna.

nung tapos na ako sakto nag notification ang cellphone ko.

zav :
im here

agad akong bumaba para pagbuksan sya ng pinto.

i opened the door which revealed zaven in a white t-shirt with checkered pajamas.

"hi-"

hindi konna natuloy ang sasabihen ko nang yakapin nya ako.

"i missed you." he whispered
