STRANGERS
Nakasakay parin ako sakanyang likod hanggang sa makaabot na kami sa tagong lugar.
Marahan niya akong ibinaba sa ilalim ng puno kung saan kami nakaupo kahapon.
"ang bigat mo pala!" he teased.
kumuha ako ng mga maliliit na mga bato at itinapon ko sakanya.
"ang kapal mo! ang sexy ko kaya!" biro kong sabi.
umiwas siya sa mga bato kahit klaro naman na natatamaan ko parin siya.
tumabi siya sakin at binalingan niya ako.
"pwede bang magtanong?" ani Brex. bigla siyang sumeryoso.
"nagtatanong ka na" sarkastiko kong sabi.
"corny mo" natatawa niyang sabi.
"ano ba kasi ang tanong mo?'
"gusto ko lang naman malaman kung sino yung iniyakan mo kahapon." tumingin siya sa buong Monterola Heights.
"pero, kung ayaw mo. Okay lang, di kita pipilitin" dagdag niya.
"Ayos lang naman sakin eh"
at bumaling siya sakin. Mariin niya akong tiningnan.
"Boyfriend ko siya, I mean.. Ex-boyfriend. Kakabreak lang niya sakin nung nakaraang linggo. Ilang years na kaming magkasama at wala naman akong nakikitang problema. Basta, He broke up with me without any reason" sabi ko.
Naiiyak na naman ako.
Napansin ni Brex na pinipigilan kong tumulo ang luha ko, kaya hinimas niya ang likod ko.
"iiyak mo lang yan Jewel" sambit niya.
"wag na noh! ang pangit kong umiyak" pabiro kong sabi.
tumawa siya at niyakap niya ako.
"Saludo talaga ako sayo. Kasi kahit masyadong ka nang nasasaktan, nakukuha mo paring ngumiti" pabulong niyang sabi.
Hinarap niya ako at ngumiti siya.
Humagulgol ako at nagsimula nang umiyak ng malakas.
Kinuha agad ni Brex ang panyo niya sakanyang bulsa at sinimulang ibigay sakin.
"Salamat" tinanggap ko ang kanyang panyo at ngumiti ako sakanya.
How can I ever forget someone I really love? Someone who has been a part of life.
He has been my bestfriend, my bae, my lover, my shoulder to lean on, my listener, my heart, my soul , My EVERYTHING.
I'm so lucky to have him, back then.
We started as a stranger.
At first, I hated him.
He's too arrogant, He's too sarcastic.
But then, we have started to know each other and I'm starting to fall in love with him, real hard.
That's why I was too happy when I've known that he was in love with me too.
We've became lovers.
I always feel special when I'm with him.
He always make effort.
And he's too cute when he gets jealous.
I love him so much. I really do.
And now, we might become strangers AGAIN..
Strangers who have known everything about eachother.
Pinunasan ko ang basa kong mga mata at inayos ko ang sarili ko.
hinawakan ni Brex ang aking balikat at tinanong niya ako.
"Okay ka na?" tanong niya.
"don't worry, I'll be okay"
not later, but soon..
