Farrah

Sobrang dami kong gustong itanong kay Ybrahim.

Hindi ko mapigil ang pagluha ko sa biglaang paglitaw ng taong hindi ko na hinahanap.

Kung kailan wala na akong planong hanapin siya, tyaka siya nagpakita.

Isang malutong na sampal ang iginawad ko sa lalaking naka-hubo sa harap ko ngayon. He deserves it after all.

“Galit ka nga.” Hindi nito mapigilang matawa matapos ko siya sampalin.

“May balak ka bang patayin kami?” I was worried, hanap kami nang hanap pero hindi man lang siya nagparamdam.

“I have some things to do, Farrah.” He reasoned out.

“Pero pwede ka namang magsabi kasi nag-aalala kami sa’yo, Ybrahim.” My tears can’t stop falling. “Mahirap bang magsabi kung nasaan ka? kung anong ginagawa mo? kung kailan ka babalik? o kung babalik ka pa?” I punched his chest.

“Ang iyakin mo naman, babygirl.” He tried wiping my tears.

“Bakit ang tagal mong nawala?” Sa halip na sumagot, ngumiti lamang ito sa akin and then he pulled me into a hug.

“There are things that are too complicated to explain, ayaw kong madamay kayo sa mga nangyayari sa akin.” He whispered while still embracing me.

Hindi na ako nagtanong. Malinaw namang ayaw pag-usapan ni Ybrahim kung ano ang dahilan ng kaniyang biglaang pag-alis. Ang mahalaga, nakita ko na siya.

I immediately messaged our friends and told them that I already saw Ybrahim and he was just doing fine. After informing them, I turned off my phone because I know that I’ll be flooded with questions as I updated them about my recent encounter with him.

“Kailan ka pa rito?” Ybrahim asked.

“I arrived yesterday.” I told him. “Bakit nga pala dito mo napiling mag-stay?” I asked him.

“My family owns the island nearby, it’s free and unoccupied.” He said.

“Ang yaman niyo ah, Adamson-Voire nga naman.”

He chuckled.

God, those dimples are fascinating.

“Inaantok ka?” He suddenly asked.

“Medyo, ginising mo ‘ko eh.”

“Tulog ka muna, ipaghahanda kita ng dinner. Gisingin na lang kita kapag kakain na.” He smiled at me.

“Nakakahiya naman sa‘yo.” I joked at him.

“Pambawi lang sa biglaang ghosting phase, Farrah.”

I didn’t argue anymore. I went to bed and slept without the worry of Ybrahim being in danger anymore.

“Gising na, Farrah.” Nagising ako nang tinapik-tapik ni Ybrahim ang braso ko.

“Tapos na ako magluto, kain ka muna bago ka bumalik sa pagtulog ulit.” He said.

“Maliligo ako, Ybrahim.” He went quiet after what I said.

“Sige, labas na ako.” Hindi ko mapigilang matawa nang mapansing namumula ang tainga nito at hindi makatingin nang diretso sa mga mata ko.

“Ybrahim.” I called him.

“Yes?”

“Sa dagat ako maliligo.” Tumikhim ito at muling nag-iwas ng tingin dahil sa sinabi ko.
