HIS..
After the talk w
ith Kiefer, I didn't notice that malapit na palang mag 12mn which means I'll be 18 officially. Napasarap yung kwentuhan namin eh. We talked about a lot of things that we've done in the past even before I met Den.
Pati yung start ng friendship naming tatlo nila Von naungkat.
I met them kasi when we got back from the States sa Ateneo. We're classmates and batchmates and since ako yung transferee from the States and I happen to try-out for the basketball team, ako yung naging "talk of the town" ng buong batch. Hindi rin ako makapagsalita ng straight Filipino noon and I have this American accent with me.
Naging part din kasi ako ng top 10 students ng batch kaya medyo matunog yung pangalan ko. Then I get to know him and Von nung pare pareho kaming na-late sa practice and we were told to fix the things we used and close the gym. After that incident, nagkausap usap kami ng mas matagal and eventually, became best of friends.
Napatingin naman ako sa phone ko kung nagtext si Dennise but wala. Wala ni isang text simula pa kanina. SDiguro sobrang napagod talaga sila sa game nila.
Kiefer: Why don't you try to text her? Para malaman niya na you want to know if she's okay.
I looked at him and just nodded.
To:Boo
Hi, Boo! Congrats again on the win kanina. I'm so proud of you. Sleep tight and sweet dreams. I love you! J
Kiefer: Now, (tumayo siya) let's parteeehh!
He said tapos hinatak na ako papunta sa living room kung saan namin nadatnan yung parents ko na sumasayaw while my uncle's singing Can't help falling in love with you.
Nagkaroon ako bigla ng slow-mo and parang nag flash forward yung future sa harapan ko.
Na-imagine ko na kami ni Dennise yun after maybe 10 years. We're dancing and cherishing the moment. Nakangiti sa isa't isa and walang paki alam sa mga tao sa paligid.
Parang scene sa isang ropmantic movie na yung spotlight nakatutok sa mga bida. Lahat ng damit ng ibang artists simple lang pero yung sa mga bida sobrang ganda. Tapos yung focus ng camera nasa mga bida lang. Then yung mga tao sa paligid, nagb-blur, tapos lahat mabilis yung galaw, pero kaming dalawa nagtititigan lang.
Praying together that we'll last long enough to see how our simple and happy family grows. Proving that forever still exists for those who believes in it and who are willing to make it work to happen.
I was pulled back to reality dahil kay Kiefer na niyuyugyog yung balikat ko. Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay asking him kung bakit niya pinutol yung magandang imagination ko.
Kiefer: Bro, kanina ka pa inuutusan ni Tita oh, look.
I looked at where he is pointing and saw my mom na nakataas din yung kilay. Napakamot naman ako ng batok when I saw her and lumapit sa kanya.
Ako: Mom, sorry po. I spaced out. What is it po?
Mom: Go to your room and change, baby. I bought you a birthday shirt kasi and malapit na mag-12. Bilisan mo ha.
Ako: Mom, you didn't have to po. Thank you so much. I love you.
Mom: I love you too, bunso.
I said and hugged her. Nagmadali naman akong umakyat sa room ko. Medyo kinakabahan ako na hindi ko maintindihan then pagbukas ko ng room..

Madilim kasi nakapatay pa yung ilaw.
I opened the lights and napanganga ako sa nakita ko.
