It was Saturday and I drove to Manila to visit her. It has been a month after what happened at the wedding adn we havent talked yet. I havent said sorry yet, and it broke my heart knowing that she might be angry with me.
After our accidental kiss, di na kami nakapag-usap because she busied her self in attending her "Bee". Hindi na siya humiwalay kay Torralba and her friends so wala talagang chance to apologize.
Hindi ko naman talga sinadya yung kiss na yun. When the visitors asked us to kiss, ikikiss ko na agad talaga siya sa cheeks nun para hindi na makapalag, kaso, kagaya sa movies, lumingon siya ng hindi ko alam, swak sa lips niya. But kinilig ako nun, sobra. Okay, thats so gay of me.
I pressed the doorbell of their house and Mikole opened the gate for me. "Uy!", halatang nagulat yung bata, "Kuya Kief.", she said, "Si Ate ba?"
"Oo sana. Andyan ba?", I asked hesitantly and she nodded.
"Pasok ka, Kuya!" ans dhe opened the gate wider so I could come in. "Asa kusina lang si Ate."
I followed her to the kitchen and I saw Mika's bask, busy doing something, and if not mistaken, it was Graham Balls that she was making. Kelan pa siya natutong gumawa ng mga ganito? Eh si kain tong taong to eh.
"Ate, andito si Kuya---"
"Cool hindi ka late!", she whispered, still focused on what she was preparing, "Where have you been ba?", she stood up and faced me, "Ang tagal mo, naisipan ko tul---", she said and stopped talking.
"Hi. Good afternoon, Miks.", I said and my heart broke a little when I saw her smile vanished seeing me.
"Ui, Kief!", she said as she recovered, "Good afternoon din", she greeted me politely as the smile came to her face again.
She looked so pretty with her apron on, white sports back undershirt and hig hugging faded jeans. She looked like a college girl, rookie to be axact. Kahit kailan, baby face talaga siya.
"What a pleasant surprise , Kief."
"Im sorry. Were you expecting someone?", I asked trying my hardest not to sound disappointed as T watched Mika's reaction.
"Yeah!", walang kaabog-abog niyang sagot. "I thought you were him!", Him? Sino kaya? Si Torralba na naman ba? Maawa ka naman, Ye, maawa ka sa puso ko.
"Sorry to disappoint you.", I apologized smiling. Para di msasyadong halatang hirap na hirap na akong huminga.
"What brought you here?", she inquired noticing the flowers I was hiding, I cleared my throat.
"Yhese are for you, pala.", I said and almost lost my balance by the way she looked at me.
"For me?", she asked with knitted brows and I held he out the flowers. Siguro napansin niya na nakakunot ang noo niya so she immediately smiled. Pero hindi umabot sa mga mata niya.
"Yup", I mumbled as I tried to look so sure with what I was doing. Luckily she moves to take the slowers from me.
"Thanks.", she said and put the flowers on the table. Ouch! "Do you still need anything?"
Fo a month, I had my bruning desire to talk to her and apologize. I wanted to say sorry kasi feeling ko kasalanan ko yung nangyari. Pero sa dami ng gusto kong sabihin, it was all gone when she asked me if I still need anything.
The question was too impersonal, unwelcome and it shattered my heart into pieces.
"Uhh. Wala. Mejo napadaan lang ako.", I muttered. Torpe ka, Kiefer!
