FLORENT
I've always had a regret in my life especially being alive in this world for so long and for being there where all the chaos happened.
Pumunta ako sa Art Gallery dahil pinipilit ako papuntahin ni Papa Alfredo kaya matapos ang klase ay agad akong nagbihis ng formal suit at nagmaneho papunta doon. At first everything seems normal since there were a lot of influential people were there as visitors, my friends were even present
Inilibot ko ang tingin sa paligid. Nanliit ang mga mata ko habang sinusundan ng tingin 'yung pamilyar na guest.
It was a young lady who seems younger than me. Nakasuot ito ng light red dress na longsleeve at umabot ito sa itaas lang ng tuhod. Tahimik siyang tumitingin sa mga paintings at binabasa din ang nameplates bago tumingin sa mga kasunod nito.
She looks oddly familiar.
Did I saw her before?
Why did I remember now?
“Hi Ren!” matinis na boses ang narinig ko.
I looked around to see where it came from then when I turned around and saw Allen waving his hand. Parang abot tenga ang malawak nitong ngiti ng makita ako. Hindi ko din mapigilan na ngumiti din sa kanya pabalik.
Allen became friends with me when we were classmates from Junior High up until Senior High School. Mabait naman siya at maganda din kasama dahil palaging nagpapasaya. Ngayong, college ay kumuha siya ng Culinary Arts na kurso.
I scanned him from head to toe. He was wearing a formal suit while holding a camera. “Maaga ka ba na dumating dito?” tanong ko sa kanya dahil alam ko parati siyang maaga na dumarating 'lalo na may dinadalong event.
Allen happily nodded. “Of course. Maaga din kasing natapos 'yung laboratory namin” then enthusiacally bowed down his head and smiled so bright. “Salamat pala sa pagreccomend dito sa Gallery para maging photographer kami ng pinsan ko”
“Ah, wala lang 'yun. No problem at all” I replied.
He raised his head then his eyebros furrowed for a moment. “Bakit pala kami ang pinili mo? May mas magandang photographers”
“I mean, why not you? Alam ko naman magaling kayo na mga photographers kaya't wala akong dapat ikabahala” saad ko sa kanya sabay tinapik ang kanyang balikat. “Keep up the good work”
