Lyrics Of Heart

Chapter 13 | TLS 2 |

Note: Let's assume there are Spanish words there.

I looked at his full of hope and happiness.

Nasa-terrace  kami ng tree house ngayon, pinagmamasdan ang mga bituing gumuguhit ng iba’t ibang kagamitan sa langit. Ang gandang tignan.

“(Remember when we are kids, we’re playin’ here while looking at the sky.)” I smiled, he still remember those  times even though it was long time ago. Nakakatawang isipin at alalahanin lahat ng ‘yun. I’m so flattered that I have shared almost have of my memories with him.

I never expect that God will gave me a good and the best friend like Styx.

“(How can I forget, that? You’re so silly. Papa almost caught us.)” He started laughing. Hilarious laugh. How can he even laugh if Papa will separate us if we’re caught?

“(What’s funny with that, Mister?)” tanong ko sabay ikot ng mata ko. Kainis s’ya, huh? Gusto n’ya yatang magkahiwalay kami.

“(Well, there’s nothing funny than seeing your reaction.)”

I rolled my eyes again. “(I hate you.)”

“(I don’t care.)”

So he don’t care about me? Tumayo ako atsaka kunyaring paalis nang maramdaman kong tumayo rin siya. He doesn’t shout my name kaya ipinagpatuloy ko ang paglalakad paalis.

“(I got you!)

“Ahhhhhh!” Hindi ko mapigilang hindi matawa dahil sa bigla niyang pagkiliti sa akin. “(Oh my god, stop it! Hahahaha— Styx— Hahahaha— Stop it,Styx!)”

“(I won’t if you don’t come back there again!)”

Napalakas lalo ang tawa ko na halos mapaos naako at mawalan na ng hininga. “Styx! Okay, i— Hahahahaha!--- Fine I will, damn! Hahahaha!”

Tumigil siya kayanaman napa-upo  ako sa sahig hawak ang tiyan ko kakatawa. Damn, that was an hilarious tickle! “(I really hate you,Styx!)”

“Well, I love you.” He started laughing again.

Wait, ano ulit ang sinabi n’ya? He… he love me? Baka naman niloloko lang ako nito  o pinagtitripan naman ako nang lokong’to. Dang, I know him pinagtitripan niya nanaman ako.

“(… as a friend!)”

“Baliw! (I love you too as my craziest friend, ever!)” This time I’m the one who laughed. At siya naman ang napatigil at napatitig sa ‘kin hanggang tumigil ako. Problema nito?

I raised up and arched my brow. “(What?)”

Ginulo niya ang buhok niya at ngumisi sabay upo sa sahig. “(Nothin’)”

“Crazy,” bulong ko ulit. Napakunot ang noo niya dahil hindi niya naintindihan ‘yon. Good thing na mama resides in the Philippines for 15 years that’s why she teaches us to speak in that language. Wala tuloy nakakintindi sa ‘kin kapag nag-fi-Filipino ako.

“(You know what, Serena, sometimes I wish I am rich.)” he said while gazing at the sky in the window. I puckered my forehead and looked at him with his serious face.

“(Why do you?)” Tanong ko.

Liningon niya ako at nginitian sabay tingin ulit sa labas.”(So no one can separate us.)” Napabuntong siya. “(If I am rich, I’m sure we’re already… ugh… I mean, if I am rich I’m sure your father or mother will not be mad when they saw us.)”

Now u get his point. Tama siya sana nga. “(So that we don’t need to hide just to see each other.)” I rested my head to his shoulder. “(So that everything is fine. No one can ruin our friendship.)”
