Moonlight and You

"Are you, happy?" he asked, almost whispering.

I nodded.

"I sincerely apologize for what I said, for what I've done before. It won't change a thing, but at least, I want to clear things before-"

I looked at him. "Before what?"

"Basta." He chuckled.

"You're so epal. Hindi kita patatawarin, hindi naman ako diyos." Naiirita kong saad.

That's a lie though. Kahit hindi siya mag sorry, patatawarin ko pa rin siya. Of course, I already forgave him for what happened.

Instead of hating him, I used that to set myself free. I forgive him, for myself. Dahil hindi ko rin naman kayang mamuhay na may galit sa kanya. I am too soft for that. Carrying hatred is not my thing.

He chuckled. "Hindi na ulit ako magpapakita sayo. Nakakahiya, kahit ngayon, parang ang kapal ko kasi kinakausap kita."

"Makapal ka naman talaga." Pamimilosopo ko.

He laughed again. He looks so happy. His smiles and laugh are genuine.

Time passed. The moon that's shining brightly was covered by dark clouds. As I expected, it will rain.

Unti-unti kong naramdaman ang patak ng ulan sa aking palad. Agad akong napangiti, I missed this.

I looked up and savored the cold breeze enveloping me.

"I hate math!" I frustratedly muttered as I rested my forehead on the pile of books in front of me.

I heard someone chuckle. Hesus, maria, napaka ganda ng boses, nakakapang lambot ng kalamnan at kasukasuan.

Palihim kong inayos ang buhok ko, bago ko ito tinapunan ng tingin. Ama namin, mahabagin, napaka pogi.

"Archi?" He asked.

I nodded. "Engineering ka?"

"Law." he simply said. "I can, uhm, help you with that if you want."

"Why not! Sabi nga nila masamang tumanggi sa grasya." I said and laughed.

He helped me to solve the problem that's been stressing me out for almost a week. He also teached me a technique how to solve it easily.

I stared at him while his reading my notes. He looks like a deity. My crush is so pogi!

I want to ask him for a snack but my pride won't let me. And the day went, I regret it that I didn't speak. I didn't have a chance to ask for his name, but I'm happy with the time I spent with him.

That was the first time that I felt something different in my chest, my heart felt like it wanted to escape from its cage.

It was different from that crush thing I had. And, that's when I knew what it feels like to fall in love.

When I was younger, I had a crush that lasted for almost 5 years. I had it when I was in grade 5, until grade 10.

Ngayon lang ulit ako nagka interest sa lalaki at mukhang wala pa akong pag asa, naknampucha.

"Ashaia, abo! Kanina ka pa lutang." Tanisha hit my forehead.

Sumimangot ako. "Aray ha, iniimagine ko yung crush ko, panira naman to eh!"

"Sino naman ang crush mo?"

Agad kong pinakita ang picture namin ng future attorney ko.

"Gaga, si Fourth pala." She said. "Tropa yan ni Ryu."
