"Hera ano ba!! Tara na kase. Malalate na tayo sa service eh!"
Sabi ng bestfriend kong si Carl. Nako for sure bubungangaan na naman ako neto mamaya.
"Pasalamat ka at church pupuntahan natin Hera! Kundi, you'll be dead! Bakit ba kasi ang tagal mo?"
"Syempre. Nagayos pako! Start mo na nga yang audi mo dami mong tanong eh!"
"Aba ikaw pa nagalit? For sure, yang pagaayos mo na yan is for him?"
"Shut it Carl! We've already talked about this, right? So stop mentioning him. Please! Alam mo kung gano pako kaapektado diba!!"
Napailing iling nalang sya. Buong byahe papuntang church tahimik ako. He is asking me some questions but iniignore ko lang. Though i want to answer, i'm not in the mood. He pissed me off eh.
-Church-
Navivibes ko na andito sya. Kaya ko na bang makita sya ulit? Kaya ko na ba syang matitigan? What if bumalik yung pain? Bumalik yung love? Di ko pa ata kaya huhuhu.
"Hey. Stop thinking about him bes! Andito tayo para maclear yang utak mo. Ukkyy?" then Carl hugged me from behind. Ganyan yan si Carlyy. Kaya minsan pinagkakamalan kami na kami eh. Sobrang sweet. Eh kayo ba naman magkasama simula bata pa.
Sabay kami maligo. DATI! Hahaha. Magkatabi matutulog. Mommy tawag ko sa mommy nya, and ganun din sya. That's us.
While I'm reminiscing our childhood memories a familiar figure passed by us, nakatingin sya samin. Geez. Hindi ko nadala yung glasses ko. Darn it! Kakamadali kase -_-
"Carlyy, nakita mo ba yung guy na dumaan? I didn't saw him clearly eh. Nakalimutan ko yung glasses ko but he looks familiar. Nakita mo ba?"
"Don't bother asking baby. C'mon, magsstart na yung service!"
Then he arched his arms on my waist to guide me inside.
Kamalasmalasan naman oh! He is one of the ushers. And worst, sya yung nagwewelcome sa mga papasok.
"Welcome to ******!" He cheerfully said.
Carl just smile at him. And ako? Dedma to death. But i took a quick glance at him. His smile! I missed it.
Habang nagppreach si Pastor Ed, hinahanap ko kung saan sya nakapwesto. He is not in his usual seat.
"Hera, stop looking for him will you? Focus on the preaching baby! Tapos magmumukmok ka when we got home saying "Carlly, i saw him and i was like" bla bla and stuffs. Nakakasawa. SO PLEASE, JUST FOCUS BABY!"
After akong masermonan ni carl. Tumigil nako and i do what he told me to do.
The service went well, sobrang sarap sa feeling. Lalo na andyan si Carl to lighten up my mood. He never fails to make me feel i'm loved. Hindi ko na nga siguro kakayanin pag nagkagirlfriend to. Hahaha. Call me selfish pero ganun talaga pag nakasanayan mo.
