Lucky
Oh baby I love your way, everyday
Shadows grow so long before my eyes
And they're moving across the page
Suddenly the day turns into night
Far away from the city
Pakanta-kanta lamang si Feyrah na malaki ang ngisi habang nagmamaneho. She's teasing me, obviously.
I glared at her, at tila naramdaman niya iyon. Tumingin siya sa'kin.
"It's my birthday tomorrow so kindly bear with me." she grinned.
"Come on, Feyrah. Stop it." I said while crossing my arms.
"Alright, alright."
Sandali na lang ang naging byahe namin papunta sa mall na sinasabi ni Feyrah.
Tinignan ko ang jacket na bigay ni Edge. Hmm, wala namang masama kung isusuot ko ito di'ba? Well, it's kinda big pero okay naman. At mabango. Parang siya. What the hell! You're a pervert now, Traiva!
Kita ko ang ngisi ni Feyrah at pagtaas ng kilay ng nakita niya akong suot ang jacket. Umiling na lang ako at iniwasan siya ng tingin.
We entered the mall. Dahil hapon na, isang movie lang napagpasyahang panoorin namin. Really, naubos ang oras namin sa byahe. After that, naglibot-libot kami. We chose to window shop, never minding the time na paniguradong maggagabi na.
I didn't know if we looked like an alien or what, pero pinagtitinginan kaming dalawa habang naglalakad. Kapag may nakakasalubong naman ay tumitingin pabalik sa amin. Feyrah didn't appear to mind while I'm not. It's frightening, though. Do they think we looked like a holdapper?
Nasa loob kami ng isang boutique ng mga t-shirt when someone held Feyrah's arms na ikinagulat ko.
"Fey, lets make it up again." sabi agad ng lalaking hmm... I don't want to describe it. I don't want to be so rude.
"I told you we're done." naiiritang saad ni Feyrah at nagtaas ng kilay.
"Oh no. We can make everything work again. Just talk to me." kunot noong sinabi ng lalaki which made him look more hmm...
Agad kumawala si Feyrah sa hawak niya at hinawakan ako sa braso.
"Talk your face." she coldly replied and rolled her eyes. We stormed out of the boutique.
"Who's that?" I asked her ng makalayo na kami.
"My ex." she said simply answered. Napaawang ang bibig ko. Ex niya? I know Feyrah's weird but that guy is... I don't want to be so judgmental but... My cousin is too pretty for that guy! Kasing tangkad ko si Feyrah at ang lalaking iyon ay hanggang balikat ko lamang and his face... well. Oh my god.
"Are you serious?" nanlaki ang mata ko.
"Yes!"
"W-what? Why? W-what happened?" hindi makapaniwala kong tanong. Totoo ngang love is blind? You're so mean, Traiva!
"You know I'm very interested in guns, but Dad won't let me have any. That guy is the son of a shooting range owner. And I'm not into handsome guys and he's well– now you get it?" Wow.
"Seriously?"
"Want to meet and greet my exes? Just please, don't be shocked." iling niya sabay tawa.
I looked at her with pure amazement. My cousin is really different. So weird and kinky but so funny. Her stands and atittude doesn't comprehend her blessed pretty face.
Even if I don't want to look at the time, I already know that it is night. Just what I told myself, I will enjoy this short freedom. Feyrah and I went to the basement. Sumakay na kami sa sasakyan at umalis. Ngunit wala pang sampung minuto ang pagdradrive niya ay bigla siyang nauhaw. Kaya nagpasyahan naming maghanap at bumaba sa isang coffee shop.
