Niana's

I was too shocked at the moment.

Literal akong na-estatwa dahil sa ginawa niya. I can't even hear my own voice or kung may naririnig pa ba ako. Parang nag-slow motion yung buong paligid at ang tangi ko lang narinig ay yung mahinang shutter ng camera.

I was caught offguard and can't even open my mouth or smile in front of the capturing. Chaka lang ako naka-recover noong umalis siya sa tabi ko.

He approached Yani, just two meters away, to look at the developed photo while I was here, standing, still analyzing what just happened.

I was recalling that he tousled my hair and we had a photo with each other, plus my friends were the one who to blame. Great.

"Hey, this is a great shot, nice. Thanks, uhm?" he said, asking for Yani's name.

"Sir, it's Yani, thanks for the compliment!" Yani smiled brightly and winked at me.

"Bes, galaw?! Ano ikaw papalit sa krus doon?" turo niya sa cross sa baba. "Hala sige, ilipat yan!" she brought me back to reality and the girls were laughing so hard.

Tell me, paano ko nga sila kaibigan?

Doon na talaga ako nabuhayan, inalala kung anong nangyari at nahihiya. Tinignan nila Jes yung picture, natatawa sila.

"T-teka, patingin nga!" sabi ko at lumapit sa kanila. Nahihiya ako, ang laki kong failure, jeez!

Napansin ko si sir na parang may ka-text lang sa gilid. "Hala, ang pangit ko! Burahin nyo na." mangiyak-ngiyak kong sabi kay Yani.

The picture came out horribly, for me. My mouth was hanged open, nakatingin ako sa kanya, habang ginugulo ni sir yung buhok ko, tapos siya naman ang naka-lukot ang mukha na nakangiti nang nakakaloko. It came out good for him.

Hay, ke-guwapong binatang ito.

"No bes, baka gusto mo pa ulit. Ano gusto mo pa isa?" nang-aasar na tanong ni Audi.

"T-teka nakakahi---" but before I even finish my sentence, Audi started shouting his name.

"Sir Red! Isa pa daw po, mukhang natatae si Nuebe dito eh!" she laughed, dahil napaka-masunurin ni Sir pumunta ulit siya samin.

He immediately positioned himself beside me and said, "Smile ha? Do you have stomach problems? You could actually remind us para we can take you somewhere comfortable."

Eh sir, di nyo ba ho alam na pag andyan kayo, lagi akong natatae? Hala, di sya aware, grabe! Mangisay-ngisay nga ako dahil andyan siya! Kaloka. Kanina nga ni hindi ako makagalaw eh.

Para sa ikakatahimik ng lahat at baka totoong mahalata niya na ako. I smiled sweetly, knowing that it would look cute on the process. We took a picture.

"Let me see, let me see!" pagkatapos na pagkatapos ng shot, nakipag-unahan pa siya sa mga kaibigan ko para tignan yung kuha.

"Hey it's cute! Look!" he called me, eheee, malandi. Lumapit ako sa kanila and I looked at it, cute nga.

Magkatabi lang naman kami, medyo magkadikit kasi walang gap sa gitna. Naka-ngiti ako, finally. Tapos siya naka-ngiti din tapos yung kamay niya nasa likod ng bulsa ng pantalon niya.

"Sir OMG! Bagay kayo!" teased Marie, as if wala kaming kasamang mga ibang NOMC, na baka may ibang makarinig or whatever.

Nahiya naman ako, oo nga pala may iba pa pala kaming kasama! Shocks! Napa-face palm nalang ako sa gilid. Paano kung nakita nila yun?!
