From Kuya to Prince Charming

Revelation Day

Shannah

Naglakad na kami pauwi ni Markiel since malapit lang naman dorm ko from the restaurant and he said malapit lang apartment niya also. We had fun talking about our hobbies, mga dislikes o di ba parang high school lang?

I found out he likes Linkin Park too, gamer also and he is very much like Kuya Kharl, even with the way he smiles at yung gestures niya... which makes it weird and irritating at the same time.

He did much of the talking and asking, I just answer back when required, mas pinili ko na obserbahan na lang siya. Ngayon ko lang mas napansin gwapo nga ang loko, he has this air of confidence in him na alam niya that he is good looking talaga pero still he is not bragging about it.

Before I knew it we reached my dorm and I saw him make a sad face as he was kicking a stone. I don't know why I find him cute doing that, he looked like a kid in a black hoodie, faded jeans and dirty black sneakers. Pero di ko rin maiwasan mapansin that he is all masculine talaga yung tindig, kilos, scent... Oh my gurrrd Shannah you lost it na, you just miss him so much siguro...

"So I guess this is where we part ways?" tanong niya sa akin na pumukaw naman sa naglalakbay kong diwa.

I just smiled then he continued talking, " Can I see you tomorrow?" he asked with puppy eyes as if talagang nagmamakaawa na pumayag ako.

I rolled my eyes and said "Fine! We are friends now right?" he smiled sa sagot ko.

I reached out to hug him, the usual hug na binibigay ko kay kuya Kharl which was an arm hug. I don't know why, I just feel like hugging him and comfortable naman ako sa kanya, the same way I feel comfy with kuya.

" pillow alert!" bigla niyang sabi

I got confused and he must have seen that sa mukha ko.

"Ahmmm Shan, is this how you hug guys? Well, I really don't mind. Swerte naman nila if ganun" bigla niyang sabi sa akin.

"Pillows? Pillows? Huh?" I asked still confused

"You know pillows" he said while making eye signals sa chest part ko.

It got me more confused so I asked him, "What do you mean? Yes I hug one specific person like this why?" nakataas kilay pa ako when I said that.

"Oh my Lord you really are innocent" napaface palm pa nga siya. "You may not be aware but those are touching my arm right now and I could feel their full ahhhhmmm I don't know how to put it, basta alam mo na pillows. " he said while blushing as he held his own chest to show what he means.

Then it struck me, parang nagflash back lahat ng memories ko. I always hug kuya by the arm, or sa neck at kahit if nakasakay ako sa likod ng bike I hug him from behind and all along, di ko napansin and it never crossed my mind that... WAAAAAAHHHHHHH Lord what have I been doing?

"Pillows? The hell what have I been doing? Pillows?" I shook Markiel as if kasalanan niya ang past moments ko, ang shunga ko talaga waaaaaahhhhhhhh!

"Why do I have a feeling you just realized it now? Just be a bit more careful next time ok baka kasi magtake advantage yung guy if ever, good thing it was me and as what I said I don't mind I know it's part of your sweet personality" he winked then laughed. He patted my head and planted a kiss sa forehead ko.

"Sweet dreams princess, sway your thoughts from that what's in the past can never be change so move forward... Cheers see ya tomorrow" he said as he gently pushed me inside the dorm gate urging me to go in na.

I looked back at him still nakatulala, di ko alam kung saan ako natulala sa realization that I have been hugging kuya with free pillows or yung forehead kiss?
