Art and Whisper

2

It's been more like 4 days na nandito ako sa hospital and actually I like being here. Nandito kasi siya.

"Your medicine."  Ang sarap mapa ayay!

"Huh? Ah?" He chuckled. "You're okay? Am I right?" Then he looked and stares at my eyes.

"I can sense that you're just playing innocent now? The first day I saw you. You're not like that? Konnichiwa... Kit?" I was dumbfounded at the moment he talk my name.

"Did I surprise you?" He maybe a little bit tease, kahit noon paman.

"No, akala ko. You also lost memories."He smugly smiled.

" How can I forget such a beautiful sunset? " I blush. He and again his sweet words.

"What can I say. You're pretty when you blush...(Pumula naman nang sobra) Oh... Did I tease you so much?" He hold his stomach and laugh so manly. I just stood their watching him laugh in to his content.

"You didn't." I honestly said. Hindi naman talaga siya kinakailangan pang mang-asa saakin nang sobra para Pumula nang ganito. It's because I miss him. His attitude towards me and his teasing.

"Better take your medicine. My sunset." He whispered in my ears. Just like those days.

Days by days... Sweet and sour days came pass by. Sino naman ako para kumontra sa mga pangyayari sa mundo. I'm not a robot to not have feelings. Isa pa I use my emotion like its my own shield and my own power.

I can cry whenever it hurts that's where I will find the ones who is with me and true to me. When I'm mad I can release my feelings, hurt and anxiety and depression and many more. I hate it when I can't express my feeling I feel like I'm hiding my self to thf process the God gave me. Though their is always those happy and memorable days lalo na noong makaalis ako sa hospital. I clearly remember...

"Umm.. Art. Can I have your number?" Nahihiya ko pang ani. Tumawa naman si art sa akin. I can not with his smiles and all. Bakit ba ang Ganda tingnan parang nakakaalis nang problema. I guess hibang na talag ako.

"Sure." Then pagkaalis ko talaga. I called him. I try to say.. Pwede ba kitang makilala ulit? As Maliyak Kit Cortez? Then he answer me with a yes. Grabe! napagkamalan pa tuloy akong sira ang ulo ni manong.

Then days passed again. Pero I can see the development of our character para lang akong natutunaw sa tuwa dahil feel na feel ko talaga maging isang female lead. As in!

In my mind I'm writing my whole life. But then I can't remember anything.

"Guess what?!" I shouted. We're in a Caffè. And I was thr one who ask him on a date. Malamang naman ako pa ang mahiya. Chance ko na to!

As the wind touch my skin. And the brewed hot coffee. The aesthetic feeling in those walls and everything in this Caffè. All those books and in the corner are those artistic paintings. Isa lang ang mas tumingkayad sa puso ko. Ang nasa harapan ko na walang ibang ginawa kundi ang magbasa. Is he seriously here? Just for coffee? Sinabi ko naman ha? Na date ito?

"Art? Did you know this is a date?" I ask him honestly and innocently.

"Am I boring to you?" He whispers at me. Gosh!

"Hindi kasi eh!" Ang hirap naman sabihin.

"I'm sorry. I got out because the story is just so... Beautiful." As he look at me and said those words like he is pertaining to me. Ako lang ba? Ang nag-iisip at naf-feel ang ganoon?

Love really is mysterious. Paints and walls. Argh! Ang hirap talaga sabihin nang feelings.

"Sige patuloy ka nalang! I've got something to do too." I said as I open my ipad and my phone and draw.

I was busy drawing things nang bigla nalang siyang nagsalita. I put down the pen.

"Huh?" I said as I can't hear anything dahil sa headset.

"Can I take you out now? On a real date?" Ano?! Ano ba ang nangyari.

"I know it's shocking dahil nabobore ka na saakin at ngayon lang ako nagtanong." He he said. And really? He looks like a puppy.

"Art, it's okay." I really said it honestly. Dahil wala namang kaso talaga sa akin.

"Then, can I take you to my own happiness." Don't tell me sunset?

...

We pass roads and streats and trees, persons and things pero hindi ko parin alam kung saan ba talaga niya ako dadalhin. Matatakot naba ako neto?

"Where are we going, Art?" He didn't answer pero nagpreno siya. It's been an hour.

"Nandito na tayo." and again I guess it right pero napanganga ako. Ang ganda talaga.

It's like a pond. But at tee same time it's like there's full of street foods but it's like a homey type. The way the street lights linger kahit 4 palang ang Ganda na tingnan.

" Why did you bought me here?" I ask shockingly kasi mostly romantic things is like this place. Nako! Kung tama na naman ang hinala nang isip ko. Ay!!! Magpapaparty ako. Kung tama lang naman.

"I did say that I will take you on a date." He then turn around and look for benches. Pero nagstop siya sa isang sasakyan na maraming pagkaing. It's different. Kasi may mga cold food and hot cook foods. Lalo na ang nakita kong bbq.

"Wow!" Then I saw the mochi's. May ganyan? Oh gosh!

And then there's ice cream! Wow! And in japanese style!

"You want that?" Of course! I do!
Tumabgo ako bilang sagot. We take few of those at pumunta na sa destination namin. He first sat in the right sit and next to him is me at the left.

He smiled at me.
"Do you want to try this flavour? It's my favourite one." He gave me one cup of ice cream. It's like melon colored cause its like orange color but it smells melon!

"Is this melon?" I ask him he nod. "With an orange."

"For me it symbolise the sunset. It smells like it has melon in it but the truth is its orange. But then if you taste it you will have those springy strawberry and orange. But it's really a melon." Nakakalokang ice cream 'to. Habang nakikinig ako parang ganoon nga ang lasa.

Just like those moments and a month with him in the beach parang nag reminiscing lang kami sa nakaraan. The way he talk and act is just the same way the Art I know before.

Really! I'm inlove! Love! As in! Inlove talaga ako! Kailan ba ulit makakapagsabi! As I Stare into him. Damn I'm really inlove. Then he suddenly chuckle. Hay! Music to my ears talaga ang isang tawa nang lalaking ito!

Can i say I love you? I said in my mind dreamily while looking at him. Nagpipugil talaga ako. Hanggang...

"I love you." dahil sa Gulat nahulog iyung hawak ko na ice cream. The fudge? What did he say?

"C-can you tell me again? I—" He chuckle.

"I just said. I love you. Really. I love you my beautiful sunset. I love you Maliyah Kit Cortez. I never knew that I would confess right this moment. I was making this more romantic like the diary you wrote back then... But damn just the way you Stare at me this time... I can't control my actions and words. I'm inlove with you so much.... My Kit. Can you be my sunset? And also sunrise? My Girlfriend? " I didn't say a word but instead of answering him. I give him a hug.

" But can you court me first? "I said looking into his eyes.

" Of course... My sunset dreams of having her own Manliligaw... Why not? "He chuckle. Little did I know that because of the things in my past became the attachment to my future. My painful past will be the most beautiful testimony of my present."
