Tumawag ako sa best friend ko, si Iza. "Izaaaa, ano tong nararamdaman ko? Pagibig ba 'to?"
"Baka pagibig, baka rin namiss mo lang." Sabi nya. "I like him. I like the new him." Sabi ko. "That's not the new him. That's the side of him that you never noticed before. You're just preoccupied in the things he does jokingly, than the things he does seriously." Sabi ni Iza.
Lakas nya "maka-spokening dollars" ah. Pero kidding aside, I think she's right. There's just these little things that I didn't fail to see, I just didn't mind. So when I saw it, those little things turned into something bigger.
Like my love for him. As I felt bitterness for him before, my love for him was too little that time. But the love is there. I just never felt it. Now, I feel nothing but happiness with him. My love for him grew bigger. Turns out, the love never left.
The next day sa school,
Lumapit yung classmate ko. "Hoy kayo na ba?", sabi nya. "Hindi ah. Hindi magiging kame nun.", deny ko. "Akala ng buong class kayo na, halata narin kase. Pero 'di pa pala. And by the way, wag mo sabihin yan. Wag kang magsalita ng tapos. You'll never know what life gives you.", sabi nya. And to be honest, it struck me. Doing these kind of stuff, isn't ordinary between a boy-girl friendship. Maybe we're not ordinary, maybe what we have between the two of us is something extraordinary.
