20: Will Fight

I know where we are heading. This could be the way to Hudson River-like.

Namamangha ako sa tanawin na nakikita ko. The landscape, mga lights, speeding cars, flowing water of the river and else.

"What are we doing here?" I ask, taking a sit beside him.

"Hmm. Wala lang. Let's just stay here for just.. 30 minutes?" sagot niya.

"Okay," I shrugged. "Like I have something to do with it. Nandito na tayo."

He chuckled to my answer. He knew that I would protest once he told me that we're going here so he just kept it as a secret. Wise man.

Nanahimik kaming dalawa. No one dared to speak for about 20 minutes now.

Tumayo naman siya at may pinulot na bato saka hinagis sa tubig. It bounced two times.

"Reniel," I called him.

Nararamdaman ko na ang kaba. It crawls so fast to my body kaya medyo nanginig ako.

"Nilalamig ka na? Gusto mo nang umuwi?" tanong niya na may pagka-bahala.

Umiling lang ako sa tanong niya. Maybe I should tell him about it. Maybe it's time to tell him about my feelings. Alam kong hindi pa lang nagtatagal na nangliligaw siya pero parang mahal ko na ata siya or baka naco-confuse pa ako between like and love. That two is totally different.

"Reniel.." I called him once again.

"Hmm? What is it? May problema ba?" tanong niya habang papalapit sa akin.

"If I am a tree that only bear fruit once in a blue moon, will you still wait for a fruit to fall down and you'll catch it with two hands and with care as if it is so fragile?" I asked idiomatically.

I have to say it in a different way. Perks of being a song writer, eh? Well, I'm thankful of being like that because I can translate words to have depeer meaning.

"Of course. That kind of tree is the most valuable. Just like gems or anything that are precious, it takes time before it'll be in your hands." he said with hand gestures. "You have to undergo hardships in order to get it and talking about a tree you are referring, just a long patience you need and take good care of it then it'll be worth of all the things you've done. Surely, the fruit is so rare that I want it to be only mine." he continued, putting his hand into his pockets.

Mas lalong kumalabog ang puso ko. Mas lalong nagdiriwang ang mga paru-paro dahil sa naging sagot niya. Sobrang saya nila at ng puso ko na parang nililipad ako sa kalangitan.

I chuckled softly, trying hard to cover up the giddiness I am feeling.

"You want it to be only yours? Ang selfish mo naman pala. But that's a good point." Sobrang ngiti ang ipinakita ko, nidi-disregard ang kaba.

"Bakit mo pala natanong iyon?" he asked out of curiosity.

"You know what, I said things indirectly, might be in words or in actions. Not literally, though. Once you've unraveled it, then you got it." I said with a full grin plastered on.

Iniwan ko na siyang nagtataka. Nakaawang ang kanyang bibig. Parang may pinoproseso ang kanyang utak pero kahit anong pilit ay hindi ito maproseso ng maayos. Haha! He's still loading. Bahala na siya. Pero kahit anong gawin ko, hindi ko talaga mawala-wala ang kabang nararamdaman dahil baka ilang oras lang ay malaman na niya iyon.

Pumasok na ako sa sasakyan niya dahil lumalagpas na ako ng trenta minutos. Baka naka-uwi na si Kuya at ako nalang ang narito sa labas.

I press the honk kaya napatalon naman siya sa sobrang gulat. Naka-lutang na, eh. Napa-hagalpak tuloy ako sa tawa.
