Inlove With You...

New Life in the New Environment

REESE

"Hi Reese. How was your day?"

"All good. And you?"

"It's good too. You're going in?""

"Yes, I am. Our professor will come in a while and I don't want to be late."

"Great! You really the righteous student, huh?"

"I have to, Georgia because if not my family will disown me. Hahaha..."

"C'mon, you're kidding me. Your family especially your five gorgeous brothers love you so much and it's impossible that they will disown you. You are their princess. And how can they disown the most intelligent and famous aspiring painter in this university? You've got to be kidding me."

"Don't praise me that much. You don't know the evil side of me, my friend." – sabi ko. Nakakatawa talagang kausap si Georgia. She became my friend when I transferred to this university in New York.

Mabait kasi siya and nagkakasundo kami kasi pareho kaming bunso at nag-iisang babae sa magkakapatid. And like me, mahal na mahal rin siya ng mga kapatid niyang lalaki.

Nakakatuwa pa kasi mula ng magkakilala kami at naging magkaibigan, naging parag kapatid ko na rin ang mga Kuya niya. Dalawa na tuloy kaming bantay-sarado sa kanila.

Hay... 6 months na pala ang nakalipas mula ng umalis ako sa Pilipinas. Wala akong naging contact do'n maliban kila Mommy. Ayaw ko pa eh. Hindi pa ako fully healed. Masakit pa rin 'pag naaalala ko ang nangyari sa akin sa Pilipinas.

Dito sa New York, pinasukan ko na 'ata lahat ng Art classes na ino-offer dito and so far okay naman. I'm proud of myself especially dito sa narating ko sa craft ko. I can say na sa career, successful na ako. Love life lang ang hindi at mukhang hindi ko na kakailanganin. Okay naman ako na wala 'yon eh.

-----------------------------

After classes nagpunta ako sa favourite place ko dito. Syempre ano pa ba kundi ang park. Masaya din dito. Kahit pa'no nakakalimutan ko ang mga bad memories ko lalo na kung hawak ko na ang camera ko. At peace ang pakiramdam ko dito kahit na ang dami pa ring tao dito a park. It's like kahit ang daming tao, maingay dahil sa kwentuhan at asaran, hidni ako magsasawa o maiinis kasi ang saya-sayang tingnan.

People are smiling kahit hindi ka kilala. They are so kind and I love the feeling of it. Parang I belong sa mundo nila kahit dayuhan lang ako dito. Masaya... pero...

"I will always love the way you smile but I feel sad when it didn't reach your eyes..."

Oh my God! Hindi ko sana guni-guni lang 'yon. I miss that person pero pinipigil ko ang sarili ko na kontakin siya.

"Hey... face me and give your kiss. I miss that!"

NO! I am neither hallucinating nor imagining things! I really hear the voice I miss so much!

"C'mon, Princess, if you'll not face me, I promise I'll kiss right here in front of these people..."

I close my eyes and......
