Mal's Point of View

Pagkauwing-pagkauwi ko ay bumungad sa akin ang mga pictures namin ni Z.

One tear. Two tears. 3. And so on...

"Hay, Mal! Kelan ka ba mapapagod?" I asked myself at napakamot sa ulo.

*kring*

"Hello?" I answered the phone call.

"Anong hello? Yuhooo! It's Zchent. Teka, are you crying?" he told me mula sa kabilang linya.

Hindi man niya nakikita pero pinunasan ko ang luha ko at ngumiti, "Hindi, ah?" then I sniffed.

I heard him sighed at umimik, "If you say so. By the way, I just think of a call sign," he said.

"Hm, bhie?" hula ko.

"Wow. How'd you know?" kunwaring namamanghang sabi niya.

"Wala. I heard that from you earlier," tamad kong sagot.

"Aish. Ayun nga 'yung cs natin. Sooo, watcha think?" he asked me.

I nodded, "Mhm, I agree. Ayun lang ba sasabihin mo?" dagdag ko.

"Uh-huh," he simply responded.

'Eh, sinira mo 'yung moment ko sa pag-iyak! Tungunu!' pero hindi ko 'yun sinabi. Hakhak!

"Ok, I'll hung up," ibaba ko sana nang bigla siyang magsalita.

"Wait!"

"Oh? Ano?"

"Uhm, see you tomorrow. Usual spot. Bye, girlfie!" he said at in-end call.

I smiled and said, "Thank you, fake boyfie. Thank you."

Ibinaba ko ang cellphone ko at pinunasan ang mukha ko, "Zachary."

And the last thing I knew ay nanghina na naman ang tuhod ko.

*blag*

I cried silently at inalalayan ang sarili kong umakyat sa kama.

*hik hik*

"I am so damn kind and weak to let go," I laugh at myself.

"B-but poof!" natatawa kong kausap sa sarili at pumalakpak pa.

"I already did let go. Nagmu-move on na nga ako," dagdag ko pa at pinukpok ang ulo ko.

*tok tok*

"BABY! WHAT HAPPENED?!" my Mom said sa kabila ng katok.

I sniffed, "N-nothing, Mommy."

"Hm, I'm just right here, honey," aniya.

Tumango na lang ako kahit hindi niya nakikita. I'm fine.
