All I Ask

Drunk call

*King's POV*

I'm browsing my computer right now at humahanap ako ng magandang picture sa gallery ko para sa front page ng magazine namin. Our magazine was all about the beauty of nature, kaya kailangan ang picutre is about nature.

Malamang.

Madami akong nakuhang pictures.. pictures of beaches, flower garden, clouds, sunrise, sunsets, nung mag out of town kami ng grupo ko sa Singapore.

Pero wala akong mapili. Lahat kasi pwede.

Hindi naman sa pagmamayabang, pero all of my pictures are good, at parang ang sarap ilagay lahat sa magazine. Gusto ko i-feature lahat ng pictures ko, at ma-amaze ko ang mga mambabasa sa mga photographs ko, if i can. It'll surely be earn positive feedbacks, for sure, and more opportunities for me to come.

Pero may page limit kasi yung magazine, at hindi na umabot yung iba.

And yes, i'm confident with that. Dito ako magaling sa field na to. Kaya ko i-magic ang lahat ng pangit into maganda in just one click.

That's my dream. And i'm going to live it.

I'm still browsing my gallery, when the last folder, catches my attention. The folder named 'C'.

And i know it contains Celestine's photos.

Absentmindedly, i clicked that certain folder, and the password popped in. I typed 'Celestine' and the folder went opened.

Different photos of her, scattered everywhere on my screen. And i can feel my heart beats faster than usual after seeing that. Hindi ko alam kung dahil ba to sa pag-inom ko ng kape ngayon, o aatakihin ako..

Wag naman.

Pictures of her, with her huge smile, her famous smile-yung smile na kung tawagin nyang, pabebe smile daw- crying celestine, annoyed celestine and some candid shots..

I can't deny it. She's really beautiful.

I clicked the photo where she was on the veranda - in her hotel room in SG - focusing on the view where the sun is currently setting that time. She didn't know na kinukuhanan ko siya nun. Busy siya sa kakapanuod ng sunset.

She really loves sunsets.

Lagi nyang sinasabi na she didn't fond of natures, pero she loves sunrise and sunsets.

Seeing her pictures, i can't help but to smile. Her smile is really contagious.

I wonder what she's doing right now. Is she ok now? Is she doing well?

I sighed. What am i thinking?!

"Alam mong hindi kita matitiis, pero ginagawa mo pa din to. Sana tulungan mo na lang akong makalimutan ka, King. Hindi yung ganito. Hindi yung hahawakan mo pa yung kamay ko ng mahigpit, as if na ganito ang gagawin mo sa akin pang habambuhay."

"Goodbye, Celestine. I promise, i'll never forget you"

I sighed again.

I've been thinking about Celestine for how many days now. Pati yung last conversations namin. Last glance. Last touch. Everything.

I think, The last time i saw her is nung nasa airport pa kami.

I'm fully aware na mali ang lahat ng to. Pero nakaramdam ako ng kakaiba sa dibdib ko nung sinabi nya na magkalimutan na kami. Parang hindi ko matanggap.

I know i'm such a jerk, dahil i'm still thinking about Celestine, while i'm with my girlfriend.

I can't help. I must be crazy.
