Facebook Crush

Chapter 3: Lonely days

Sef's excitement brings him up academically. He showed much during the first quarter of the school year. Close to an achiever .

Everyday he has that something inside him thats powering him up. He enjoyed everything under the sun. He is fueled by something unknown.
Masaya lang buhay nya. Wala masyadong pinoproblema. For him he can choose the life he want. He has control over his life. But happiness doesn't mean always, it fades sometimes.
That doesn't mean masaya siya palagi, that doesn't mean wala syang problema, and that doesn't mean life is that good to him. One thing is that, he portrays the best attitude when it comes to problems, trials and struggles. He's a person na maging madrama man ang buhay nya, 3-5 minutes tapos na yun, kasi pag lampas na dun O.A na. (hahahaha.. ganyan sya.) Sanay kasi syang pinapagaan ang sarili sa kahit anong paraan, siya yung tipong di madrama sa buhay, yung tipong go with the flow.

There are times he's lonely. Like some of his nights when he is alone in his room. When he's thinking of that girl that make his life undefine.The girl that captured not just his attention but his heart as well. His facebook crush.

Sef's pov:

"My day is great. Got the highest score on our exam. Though sakit sa ulo naman talaga tong minor subjects na pa major ang ganap, hays may mga gagawin pa sa P.E.
haiiii.. buhay estudyante.. Ang stress .. Pero kakayanin
😑😑😧😧
(while in his thoughts )

Hays, Di ko na talaga sya nakikita. San kaya sya? Tambay ako kanina sa mcdo pero wala.
May boyfriend na kaya yun? hehehehe
What am I thinking..

Aral muna Sef, you need to focus. (sabi ng utak niya.)
Hirap kaya mag-aral nakaka pagod.. (sagot naman ng kabilang parte ng utak nya.)

-SHUT UP BRAIN!!
Your'e freaking me out - pag sita ni Sef sa utak niya ( hahaha )

Pumasok siya sa isang kwarto, the room was filled of full emotions, emotions that only Sef can define what it is , it shows how long since he enter the room and a moment of reminiscing envelops him.. Until he saw a thing that make this room special for him, a thing that bring joy's and an overwhelming feeling, a thing where he can lean on when his sad, he directly go near to that thing.

His Piano... Slowly walking , only his footstep can be heard, the room is too peaceful, quite enough to hear such thing. And now his infront of his piano..

Umupo sya sa harap ng kanyang piano, tap a couple of notes then started playing a melody. A melody that's filled up with all his emotions. Not knowing that his father is in the door listening and looking his son how he plays his piano. He continued pressing the keys when finally his dad enters his room. Sat beside him. And said..

"Ngayon ko lng nadinig na muli kang nag play ng piano ah, its been a long time son" sabi nito.

"Na-miss ko lang dad." sagot nya na may ngiti.

"As I listen to your melody, it seems your music is sad son, what's wrong? Is something bothering you or Is it a girl?" panghuhula nito.
"Despite that , its well played at maganda.. andun yung emotion damang dama talaga ."

"Hindi naman dad" sagot niya dito. Thanks right away

"Asus.. I've been there son. I know that feeling" sabi nito na nakangiting nakatingin sa family picture nila na nasa harap ng piano. Realizing the moment that he remember. How his family been this long . While Sef is in deep thoughts .

Hindi lang sya umimik. With face looking down. An unexplained expression. Tiningnan lang sya ng papa niya.
Tinapik sya nito sabay sabing,
"That's okay.. I'll just wait son. I will be happy if its true and let me remind you son im just here your handsome dad." Sabi nito sabay halakhak tapos tumayo dahan-dahang lumayo sa pwesto ni Sef.At muling nilingon si Sef :

"Talk to me when you want to son , I'm willing to listen. And lastly I'd like to know that girl" Pahabol nito.
Ngumiti lang siya bilang tugon sa papa nya na kita niyang masayang-masaya, at tuluyan ng lumabas ng kwarto niya. Hays iba talaga ang papa niya .

Sef stare back to his piano and think what his father said a while ago , and when he realize it, his father is right.
He was left in his room happy and refreshed and feeling a bit of relief. Thanks to his Great Father who enlightens up his undefined feeling.

Nag-usap naman ang mag-asawa sa sala ng makalabas mula sa kwarto ang dad nya.

"Anong napag-usapan nyo hon?"

Ngumiti yung dad niya. Parang binabalikan yung nangyari kanina.

"Wala pa naman, I think your son is in the stage of.. alam mo na, and please lang hon let him talk if he want ha .. "

"Hahahahaha! Ikaw talaga, di mo na lang tapusin, cliff hanger ka talaga , grabe ka hon ha .." sagot ng asawa nito.

"Pero let me tell you hon ngayon ko lang narinig tumugtog uli yan, its been a long time since he plays his piano and I kinda feel his emotion.." may ngiting dagdag ng mama niya.

"Ay ma.. inlove lang yan si kuyaaa !!!! Maniwala kayo haha .." sabat naman ng kapatid nito na nakatutok sa tv.

Parehong napalingon ang dalawa sa anak na babae na seryosong nakatutok sa screen. At Napangiti sila sa narinig.

" Maiba nga tayo, Eh ikaw, kumusta naman ang baby namin ha? Yung baby namin na makulit .." sabi ng mama nito na lumapit at umupo sa tabi ng anak nito. At niyakap sabay haplos sa buhok nito.

"Maaa.. Naman eh,hindi na po ako baby, im a teenager na kaya ma .."

"Kahit na, ikaw pa din ang baby namin dito no wag kanang umangal ha.." masayang paglalambing sa anak.

"Aish.. mama naman eh. Hays may magagawa ba ako ha?

" And let me remind you baby ha, Wala munang boyfriend2 ha ayoko ko pa na maubusan ng oras sa amin.." paalala ng mama nya.

"Opo ma.. basta wag nyo na po ako tawaging baby, susundin ko talaga yan as in promise (heheheh)" pilyang sagot nito.

Inakap ang anak.. At sinabing "mananatili ka pa ding baby namin ng dad mo at ng kuya mo, tandaan mo yan Syril ha?"

Di nila alam na kanina pa nakalabas sa room si Sef at nakikinig lang sa pag uusap nila at masayang tinititigan at nakisali narin sya .
"Oo nga." sabi ni Sef na biglang sumulpot at dinamba ng yakap sa likod ang dalawa. At ginulo ang buhok ni Syril.
Tapos tumabi sa kapatid niya at umakbay.

"Hmp!, Kuyaa panira ka tsk"-Syril

At di natiis ng dad niya ay
Sumunod na din ito nat inakap ang tatlo saying "My treasures in life, and the reason why I wake up every morning and come back home by night.. I love you all, always remember that, no matter what happens." May ngiting sambit nito.

"We love you too dad.. forever!" sabay sabi ng magkapatid na parehong may ngiti sa labi.

"Oh.? May forever na pala di ko alam yun ah .." pilyong saad ng dad nila at nagtawanan silang lahat dun. Hays what a nice family to have.

The next night Sef was at terrace alone looking at the starry night , embracing the feels of a cold night as the breeze goes by. By closing his eyes and thinking about his thoughts and once he open his eyes, those lights twinkling are so in perfect tune with the dark sky. Those millions of stars lighting up the vast ocean-like, dark space. Looking intently at the sky, it feels so right, so light to feel and nice to see the true view of a night.

And while his staring, he didnt notice his father behind his back and said:

"Son, when I met your mother she was the most beautiful thing my eyes had seen. Like she's a magnet and I can't pull my eyes back. I was like electrified that moment. I can't move. I am smiling like an idiot. And my heart beats fast like there was a race happening inside and an undefined feeling . Son its nice to feel this kind of emotions , you do the don'ts and don't the do's .."
