Fix You

Kiefer

I'm not sure, but I think I may have signed my soul over to this girl.

It's a strange thing. Interacting with someone that isn't over the age of 38 and under the age of 6 is something I'm not used to. I don't usually handle change very well.

There is something about Mika that just fixed the problem in my brain.

Magtatanong sya saken, and my instinct tells me to answer her question no matter what. I don't do that shit.

Sa kanya lang.

Like, kung ibang tao yung magtanong saken, I'd tell to back off and I will continue with my walls intact.

But this is her. Ano bang meron sya? What made her so special?

Maybe it's her eyes.

When I look in them, there's a feeling of understanding. Her eyes seems like a reflection of my own, yet we are completely both different in a lot of ways.

Maybe it's her expression.

Whenever I say something she doesn't like, she would get this cute frustrated look on her face. Her eyebrows would crease and her nose would scrunch up a little. Teka, did I mention na ba that she has a very cute ilong? I want to laugh at my thought. Asarin ko pala sya minsan about don. I just love teasing her to see her cute frustrated expression.

Then there is her caring expression. This expression is what I think weakens me the most because it is so genuine.

Her face would relax, but her eyes would be a certain way that shows her care.

I don't understand that care. Why would she care?

Maybe I'm just over thinking our situation. But I think the answer is clear...

Ganon sya kasi... ganon sya. It's as simple as that.

Now I'm sitting in front of her at our table, and I just agreed to answer anything she'd ask me. Paano mo ba naman hihindian yung taong katulad nito?

"Well what if I tell you something about me first," she said.

Yes, please. "Sure." I tried to keep my voice calmed.

She put a muffin in her mouth and started chewing. She put on what I guess is her dramatic thinking  face and I smirked at her.

"Alam mo naman siguro yung Kentucky Fried Chicken diba? KFC?"

I let out a small laugh. "Anong tingin mo saken? Café Verde lang ang alam kong restau?"

"I'm just checking." She said.

"So... anong meron sa KFC?"

"Well, you know ba the endorser of that?"

I nodded and again had a small laugh. "May tv kami sa condo."

She took a deep sigh and put her left hand under her chin, and she has this dreamy look in her eyes. "Alam mo, nakakahiya man aminin pero... crush ko yung endorser nun eh. Bigtime."

Okay...

"Daniel Padilla? Kilala mo naman, diba? Kakasabi mo lang kanina." She took a dreamy sigh again. "I don't know what's with him pero crush na crush ko talaga sya. As in, sagad." She said that with so much feels. Muka talaga syang kinikilig.
