Kurba D' Converter: A BuernRylle Love Story?

Bonsai!

Archie:

6pm Ateng. Diretso na tayo from here tomorrow.

Vice (talking on the phone):

Ok, Aaron, 6pm daw. Dadaan muna siguro sa balay then gora na sa airport.

We were walking along the hallway when I heard a familiar voice calling us from far behind..

Karylle:

Meme Buern... Wait... !

Hindi napansin nila Vice that Karylle was behind us and was calling our attention coz they were busy talking to Aaron, Vice's stylist, on the phone.

I intentionally ignored Karylle and proceeded to walk faster para mauna ako sa exit.

I wasn't really in the mood to face Karylle yet. Especially now na affected pa ako sa mga narinig kong kaganapan between her and Vice sa dressing room kanina.

Karylle:

Vicey!! Wait...

I sensed that Vice and Archie stopped when they heard Karylle called. Ako naman, lalo ko pang binilisan ang lakad ko para makalabas na sa studio building.

Hangga't narinig ko nang tumawag sabay si Karylle at Vice.

Vice and Karylle:

Buernnnnnnnnnn!!!!!

Huminto na ako at dahan-dahan na humarap. When I turned around nakita ko si Karylle na tumatakbo towards me. She was carrying a small pot of plant and a small paper bag.

Nang malapit na sya sa akin, I felt guilty coz humihingal na sya nang inabutan ako.

Karylle:

Meme Buern, ano ka ba? Kanina pa kita hinahanap.. Ngayon naman nagpapahabol ka pa.. Hahahaha!

Naawa ako nang napansin ko na medyo pinagpawisan si Karylle dahil sa paghabol sa akin.

Buern:

Ay sorry Ms. K.. Hindi ko napansin na tinatawag nyo po ako. Bakit po?

Karylle showed me her beautiful smile that made me feel guilty even more.

Some streaks of perspiration were sliding down the sides of her face. Gustong-gusto ko nang punasan ang pawis nya. Pero I have to stop myself from doing so kasi alam ko na baka mawala na naman ako sa kabaliwan na to.

Karylle:

Meme Buern, I've been looking for you since kanina pa.. I wanted to give you sana this AND this..

Karylle handed me the small potted plant. May bitbit kasi akong bag sa isa kong hand kaya hindi nya alam kung saan nya ilalagay yung small paper bag.

Binuka ko yung isang hand ko na may hawak ng halaman para i-hang nya yung paper bag sa fingers ko. Pero sa kasamaang palad, hindi lang nya sinabit yung paper bag. Pagkasabit nya, hinawakan nya yung hand ko para ma-secure yung pagkakasabit.

At dahil dun, parang magkaholding hands kami the whole time na nag-eexplain sya..

Karylle:

Meme Buern, I had this plant repotted for you. Para yan sa sore throat mo. That's Oregano plant. Pag masakit yung throat mo, you just pick a couple of leaves, boil it in 1/2 cup of water. Then put a teaspoon of THIS honey dun sa pinagkulaan and drink it. Parang hot tea..

I was staring blankly at Karylle the whole time she was talking.

Hindi na kasi dumaloy ang dugo sa utak ko nang simula nyang hawakan ang kamay ko. Basta ang alam ko, she was talking about the plant, my sore throat and the honey..
