Gabriel's
"Tomboy ka 'no?"
Hindi ko alam na lumabas na pala sa bibig ko yung tanong na yan. It's just in my mind.
But then, Lauren never fail to give me unexpected answers.
"Ah," Ngumisi pa muna siya at saka tumingin sa kabilag direksyon ng kinatatayuan ko. "Y-yes." She said, ngumiti pa na para bang sa wakas ay nailabas niya na ang matagal niya nang lihim.
Shit! There are two things running in my mind. Of all people, ako pa ang nakaalam. And of all fvcking people, why her? Why she has to be like that?
I don't want to see her smiling. Fvck, I'm hurt right now. Don't give me damn butterflies in my stomach, lady! Yeah! Sounds gay, sounds corny. But what can I do? Shit! What now?
I swear I never fall in love. But she has exception. Pero ano itong sinabi niya? I thought this was my chance to get close to her. After all those years.
"Ri, this day ka ba mag-eenroll?" Mom asked me while she was checking on my walk-in closet.
"Yes, mom." I yawned. 7am pa lang kasi and 9 pa ang enrollment sa university na papasukan ko.
My mom always does the thing. Lagi niyang chini-check ang room namin to know if we got out of stock about stuffs, especially about hygiene and clothings. Iyon na lang daw kasi ang way niya to take care of her children, cause she's always busy.
"Get up, young man. Baka ma-late ka." She said while putting some shower gel and deo in my bathroom.
"Okay, okay. Please, go out, mom." Medyo nakapikit pa akong tumayo ng kama.
I did the things I always do before going out of my cave at saka umalis na papuntang school.
8:30 ng makarating ako. I just told the driver to wait for me sa parking area.
Dala dala ko ang mga documents na hinihingi ng admin ng school for the students to be able to enroll, naglakad na 'ko papuntang bulletin para malaman ang steps when I bumped into someone.
"Oh, geez!" Naiinis akong pinupulot ang mga nahulog na papel ko.
"I'm confident you have two eyes. Use it." I said, nagtitimpi sa nakakapasong sinag ng araw.
The girl who bumped into me was crying that time. Medyo na-guilty naman ako sa pagsusungit ko sa kanya. Did I made her cry?
I looked at her to atleast say sorry for my attitude when fvck, it's kind of gay thing to admit, but I think, I just lost a sense. Really, shit. Who is she, in the first place?
She's petite and has glowing skin. Have big specs with thick lenses but that can't hide the tears in her eyes.
"Hey, you okay? You crying? Damn! It's obvious," Napamura pa ulit ako sa sarili ko dahil sa tanong kong halata naman ang sagot. "Why? Are you hurt?" I held both of her shoulders to help her stand dahil parang nanghihina na siya at doon ko nakita na may sugat siya sa tuhod.
"What happened to your knee? You want me to take you to the clinic? Hey miss?" Paulit ulit kong tinatanong pero tanging tunog lang ng kanyang iyak ang naririnig ko. Who did this to her? Damn! Ang dami ko nang oras na nasasayang dahil sa gumawa nito sa babaeng ito.
"Answer me, please? So that I know what to do." Halos nagmamakaawa na ako sa kanya dahil gusto ko nang madala siya sa kung saan para makapag-enroll na ako dahil may practice game pa ako after lunch.
Medyo marami na rin ang tumitingin sa amin. Fvck. They think I'm the one who made this girl cry? Hell, no! I don't even know her name!
And there I saw a bunch of girls laughing at the side. Sila marahil ang gumawa nito sa kanya.
