"Hi, everyone! Welcome to my little comfort of happiness, which is my instrument. Join me today as I'll show to all of you the music that I love to play. This is Leister Dew Martensen, your grade eleven stem student, your future psychologist."
Mas humigpit ang pagkakahawak ko sa aking camera, habang pinagmamasdan ko ang mga videos na ginawa namin kanina ni Leister. I couldn't help myself but smile even more. I played it back again and listened to the song that he was singing.
I should've hated him, but the more I push this hatred towards him, it makes me wonder... what kind of person he is when he's close to someone. I don't want to hate him forever.
After I took a video of him, he insisted that he would take mine too! Pagkatapos niya kasing mag-play ng instrument ay kinuhanan ko rin siya ng litrato nang naglalaro ng basketball, for documentation.
Habang ang mga pinsan niya ay patuloy pa rin ito sa pag-si-swimming sa rooftop. Dumiretso kami sa kanilang kitchen at nakita kong may nakahanda na roon na iba't-ibang mga ingridients.
My eyes widened at the thought that he was going to bake something!
Wait, he knows how to bake?!
"You know how to bake a cake?" Naguguluhan kong pagtatanong sa kaniya.
He looks amused, and he crosses his arms and looks at me.
"Of course, it is one of the things that I do every time I'm bored." Sagot niya sa akin pabalik.
Hindi ako nakapalag kaagad nang bigla niyang kinuha ang camera na hawak-hawak ko at inilagay niya ito sa harapan. He set the camera in front of us and guided me to the kitchen counter. Nakita kong naka-play ang camera at nagsimula na siya sa kaniyang ginagawa, habang ako ay pinagmamasdan lamang siya sa tabi.
He wore his grey apron, and he handed me one of those.
"What's this for?" Naguguluhan kong pagtatanong sa kaniya.
"I'll teach you how to bake. We will bake cookies today." Nakangiti niyang sagot sa akin.
When he smiles, his eyes will smile too.
I licked my lower lip as I watched him talk and introduce all the ingredients to the camera. I couldn't believe someone like him liked these kinds of things. Ang alam ko lang na gawain sa mga lalaki ay ang maglaro ng iba't-ibang sports, magaling sa swimming at magaling manloko ng mga babae, pero, nang makita ko si Leister na masayang nag-ba-bake, ay nag-iba ang pananaw ko sa mga lalaki.
It changed my perspective; it changed the way I think about them. Na, hindi lahat nang lalaki ay mapaglaro at manloloko. Well, there were some of them, but watching Leister do this thing, it feels like I am watching his other side of his personality, and that is his softiness.
"Now, you are going to add the sugar," he said, and he helped me put those sugars inside the blender.
His hands were rough, yet soft and gentle. The veins of his hands were very evident, as he helped me with those. Napalingon ako sa kaniya at seryoso lamang siya habang nakatitig sa blender.
Not even minding me watching him this close.
Even when he's six feet tall, he crouches a bit and adjusts his posture just to level with my height. Napatulala na lamang ako habang nagpapatuloy siya sa kaniyang ginagawa.
His attractive eyes were captivating me slowly. Umawang ang aking bibig at nabalik lamang sa realidad nang biglang tumunog ang kaniyang cellphone sa gilid.
Nilingon ko siya at tumigil muna siya sa kaniyang ginagawa at humarap sa camera.
"Just hold a minute, someone is calling me from the phone."
