Astraea
Umupo ako sa puting buhanginan saka tinignan ang mga kaibigan kong naghahabulan na.
"Minsan lang tayo maging bata. Once we grow old there's no turning back. We have to keep moving." She sat next to me. Iniwan ko siya kanina don eh. Uminit bigla na para akong iniihaw.
"Indeed, minsan lang tayo maging bata. Tumatawa tayo dahil wala tayong problema. Wala tayong iniisip kundi paano tayo makikipaglaro sa labas o anong ulam paguwi natin. When we were young we wished we could grow old quickly. And now that we are, we wish we could turn back time when were still young. No problem, no stress, just full of fun and excitement. No responsibilities, innocent and carefree." Napatawa ako ng daganan ni Ice at Vinn si Eryx.
"We can be young again. We can be happy...even now. Let's have some fun? Shall we?" She offered her.
"Go on, wala pa akong energy. Recharge muna." Dahil hindi ko tinanggap ang kamay niya ay clinose open na lang niya ito.
"Dito na lang din muna ako." She said
Okay lang naman, since alam kong hindi siya mangungulit. Sanay na kami sa katahimikan ng isa't isa. Sa totoo lang puro ingay nga lang nila Eryx ang naririnig namin. Ang payapa at malumanay na hampas mga alon. Ang simoy ng hangin na amoy na amoy, presko at malamig kapag dumadampi sa balat. Parang isang memorya na sobrang vivid pa.
I lean on her shoulder. Looking in front and not saying any word. She come closer to make our position more comfortable. We stayed quiet until our friends starts to play with the water. Sometimes we're laughing because of their silliness.
"Uhmm/ano." Sabay na sabi namin. Napangiti na lang ako ron.
"Ikaw mun-" hindi nito natuloy ang sasabihin dahil tumunog ang cellphone ko.
Kinuha ko ito saka tinapat sa kabilang tainga ko. Hindi ko na tinignan ang Id.
"Hello?"
"It's Gael. Where are you?"
"I don't know either.
Kasama ko sila Eryx."
"Oh...nasa dagat ka?"
Naghumm lang ako. Naririnig niya siguro yung alon.
"How's the celebration?"
"It went well. I had
so much fun."
"Yeah mukha nga. Lively
ng boses mo eh."
Tumawa naman siya.
"May girls ba?"
Hindi ko mapigilang magtanong. I trust him naman but not the girls around him if ever.
"None, sabi ko sa'yo celebration
lang ng team diba?"
"Malay mo naman may
ininvite palang girls."
"Wala po, it's all boys and
if ever man na meron, off limits
na ako. I will surely ignore them."
"Sus."
"Hon, I swear. You are
more worth it than girls
who hang around me."
"I know, I trust you."
