"Happy Birthday Baby"rinig kong wika ni mommy nang bumangon ako sa aking pagkakahiga,lumapit sya sa akin at hinalikan ang aking pisngi
"Thanks mom" i replied
"San mo gusto mamasyal anak?,gusto mo bang pumunta tayo sa mall with your dad?
" Hmm, I want to go to church mom, and then let's do a picnic at the park, pls mommy?"
"Ofcourse,anything for you anak"
"Yey"i said excitedly,
Gaya ng sinabi ko kay mom, we went to the church to give thanks for another year of my existence, after that ,we did a picnic at the park near our subdivision to celebrate my 10th birthdayeveryone was having fun,kids,as well as the elders.
"Baby,are you happy?"nakangiting wika ni mommy pagkatapos naming bumili ng cotton candy
"Ofcourse mom,thankyou!"
"Welcome baby"then she kissed me at my cheeks
"Dont forget to brush your teeth when we get home,okay sweetheart ?my dad said in a sweet tone
"Yes dad"..
"Good girl"she patted my head.I'm so grateful and lucky to have a parents like them,that's why i love them so much
Madilim na ng papauwi kami, When I saw a boy wearing a blue hoodie sitting on a bench near a tree,he was looking at the sky as if checking for a meteor to fall,tahimik lang siyang nakaupo roon mula kanina pa,hindi sya nakikipaghabulan o nakikipaglaro man lang tulad ng ibang bata,naroon lang sya sa isang tabi at may hawak na isang teleskop,Lalapitan ko na sana sya ngunit tinawag na ako nina mommy at daddy para umuwi,
On the following days, after the dismissal of our class we went to the park with my friends to play like we used to do, While were having fun playing soccer, i noticed the boy i saw last time before we get home, he's sitting on a bench and patiently waiting to get dark, so i approached him
"Hey,do you want to play with us?"wika ko ngunit parang wla itong narinig kaya inulit ko ang aking sinabi
" Hey,do you want to play with us?"i smiled akwardly,for the second time he didn't bother to look at me,so i poked him
"What"he said shortly,ang kalmado ng boses nya ngunit nasa seryosong ekpresyon ito,
"Uhmm,im asking you if you want to play with us?"sabay turo sa aking mga kalaro
"No,kayo na lang"
"Bakit?"tila nagtataka kong tanong ngunit hindi nito ako sinagot kaya hindi ko nlang sya kinulit.Lagi ko itong nakikita sa parke tuwing sumasapit na ang dilim,nasa dalawang bahay lang ang pagitan ng parke at ang bahay namin kaya lagi akong pumapalagi doon, magkalapit lang ang bahay ng batang lalake sa parke kaya no wonder if lagi syang nandoon kahit nagdidilim na,but why he is always staring at the night sky?i approached him again
"Psst,bakit lagi kang nakatitig sa taas?"
"I love moon and stars"ika nya ngunit ang tingin ay nasa kalangitan parin habang sumisilip sa kanyang mumunting teleskop.
"I see,they are pretty isn't it?"
"Indeed"after saying that word naglakad na ito papauwi sakanila
"Hey wait,what's your name?!"
Nilingon lang niya ako at tumuloy na ulit sya sa paglakad,Week had past,muli ko na namang nakita ang batang lalaki sa parke tuwing dumidilim na,nilapitan ko ito at inalukan ng hawak kong pagkain,muli ko siyang tinanong
:"Uyy anong pangalan mo?"
:"It's you again"
:"hindi mo pa sinasagot tanong ko ehh,what's your name?"
:"hmm something that define stars?"
:"ha?,meron ba non?bat ba ayaw mo sabihin?"
:"i already gave you a clue,all you have to do is to guess it,"
:"pinapahirapan mo pa ako ehh,ayaw mong sabihin ahh,hmm,from now on i will call you blue,you're always wearing blue hoodie,i guess it's your fave color?"
:"whatever,how about you?whats your name?"
:"hmm secret,hindi ko den sasabihin ,hindi mo sinabi ung iyo ehh"nakatitig lang ito sa akin at wala pa ring ekspresyon ang mukha
"Okay fine,my name is selene"
:"okey"
:"okay lang?"nagtataka kong tanong
:"thats unique tho, In Greek mythology, Selene is the goddess of the Moon"
:"Wow,i didn't know that"ngumiti lang sya sa akin at muling nagsalita
:" Selene was also known as Luna. Selene has the power to give sleep and to light the night. She has control over time, and like the moon itself, She is ever-changing"
:"woah?talaga?!"namamangha ko na namang wika.
