Unspoken Desire

"Hi! I missed you,"

"Kahit magkasama lang tayo kanina?"

"Yeah. I missed you already."

"Me too... It's late na, a. Bakit bigla kang nag-aya lumabas?"

"I can't sleep. Hindi ako sanay na hindi ka katabi."

"Feeling nito. Tara na nga. Saan ba tayo pupunta? Hindi ba tayo maligaw?"

"Nope. May nakita ako kaninang park. Let's go there."

"Ano meron?"

"Nothing. I just want to be with you alone. Kanina pa tayo may kasama kanina, e."

"Gusto mo lang pala ako masolo. Let's go na nga."

"Here's my jacket. It's so cold outside."

--
"Wow. Hindi ko nakita 'to kanina. It's so peaceful here."

"Yeah. Look up. There's a thousand stars."

"OMG! Lev, it's so beautiful!"

"Yeah... so beautiful."

"Di ba— hindi ka naman nakatingin sa mga stars, e."

"Mas maganda 'yong tinitingnan ko, e."

"My god! You're so corny. Let's sit doon sa swing."

"You're so quiet,"

"Sorry. I'm just happy, Lev. Thank you for coming into my life."

"I am happy to be part of your life and thank you for letting me in."

"You deserve it,"

"I just want to thank you for making me realize what I want in life."

"Really? Ano?"

"To serve you,"

"Bwisit"

"Anyway, I have something for you"

"What is it?"

"Nevermind. Baka hindi mo magustuhan."

"Of course not. Magugustuhan ko 'yan lalo na't bigay mo, ano."

"Okay, wait... This."

"Wow! Is this a handmade bracelet?"

"Oo. Sorry, it's ugly. Tagal na niyan, e. Nakita ko lang noong nagpa-pack ako ng gamit."

"Anong ugly ka riyan? It's cute kaya. What do you mean na matagal na?"

"Ang funny ng back story pero junior high ako when I made that. Activity kasi namin sa TLE  and our teacher said to think of something to give to our crush kasi valentine's day noon. I'm not creative so I can't think of anything, then before our deadline I saw you wearing that kind of bracelet so I asked Ate Maddy to teach me how to do it... so ayon..."

"So it was really for me?"

"Yup. Wala lang ako lakas ng loob bigay noon. You were so intimidating, baby. Nanghihina tuhod ko sa'yo."

"This is so sweet, Lev. Thank you!"

"Thank you for appreciating."

"Oo naman. Bigay mo, e, tapos gawa mo pa. Come on, suot mo sa'kin please!"

"It's so pretty. Naiiyak ako."

"You are so cute, babe!"

"What the hell? I'm not cute!"

"Bakit? Ano masama sa cute?"

"It's weird that you're calling me cute when I'm older than you."

"Don't mind our age gap. Let's take a picture, Hera."

"Okay. Pakita ko 'tong bracelet"

"I-wallpaper mo? Hala ako rin. Let's take a pic sa phone ko."

"We look bagay,"

"Yeah, we look bagay."

"Tara na?"

"Lev..."

"Hmmm?"

"Nanghahalik ka na, a."

"I love you,"

"I love you more,"

"Let's go na. Baka magising sila wala ako."

-----

"I'm fine here. Pasok ka na sa room niyo."

"Wait."

"Why—"

"Hey! Makita tayo nila Maddy—"

"I'm not sorry. Good night, Hera! I love you. See you later."

"Hmp. Good night. I love you!"

"I love you more."
