To Be Smitten

Biro lang ng kaklase ko iyon sa exchange gift namin. Madalas kasi kami asarin.

It's been two hours that I sent the message but he didn't respond. Napabuntong hininga ako. Hindi naman ako dapat maguilty dahil wala naman akong ginawa na hindi nya nagustuhan kaso iyon kasi ang naabutan nya.

Magsosorry nalang ako bukas pag-uwi nya.

Right after ng party sa room, talagang nagmamadali akong pumunta sa quadrangle. Gusto ko kasi manood ng performance nila na nasa harap ako as in.

"Galingan mo papa Ryx!" Cheer ni Tatiana. Ngumiti naman sa dako namin si Ryx. I smiled back then my eyes roam around again. I'm looking for him.

Dumating lang sya sa stage nang mag-umpisa na silang tumugtog. He is the in the center as vocalist, Sec is the dummer, Bridge will play his piano, while Ryx will sing while playing his electric guitar.

Okay, hindi sila totally banda. This is only for his promotion purpose. Mabait lang itong mga tropa nya na tinulunggan sila. All of the three are Media Art ang course, si Ryx lang ang naiiba.

I was smiling widely. Hindi ko inalis ang mga mata ko sa asawa ko. He sings so well. The audience were soothed with his performance.

He opened his eyes and found me. He continue singing while not breaking his stare.

"I love you," I whispered without sound that came out from my mouth. Just lips movement.

Napahinto ako. I said those words, he stopped singing as well. Nang marinig ang bulungan ng mga studyante binalik ko ang tingin ko sa kanya.

"Hello guys! See you in Cinemas!" Shieya shouted, microphone on.

Lumapit sya kay Vito at hinalikan sa pisngi ito. I saw Vito distanced himself. His brows arched as he faced her. Sinuklian nya lang ito ng ngiti.

"Kayo na ba?" Sigaw ng isang student sa malayo.

Without breaking their stares to each other, Shieya announced it on the microphone.

"Yes, Vito is my boyfriend. Sinagot ko na sya."
