My hands were trembling as I traced the line of his facial features. My tears keep falling down my cheeks like a non-stop and unbeatable strong river. I can feel our hearts beat as one. Hindi ako makapaniwala.
His eyes. His nose. His lips. Every detail about him came back to my mind. The way he looks at me like I'm the most valuable gem in the world, it all came back. My memories with him when we were a child are slowly taking its place in my brain again.
"I-it's you.." I almost whispered. He smiled.
That smile. I get to see that smile again.
"It's me, baby. I'm so sorry it took me so long." He hoarsely said as he wiped my tears.
Hindi ko na mapigilan ang sarili ko at muli siyang niyakap. Niyakap ko siya ng sobrang higpit, yung tipong kahit anong pagpupumiglas ang gagawin niya ay hindi siya makakawala sa akin. He wrapped his arms around me and landed a kiss on my forehead.
"You believe me now?"
I nodded my head and we both chuckled. Ang tawa niyang iyun na aking kinaadikan, it serves as a rhythm that make my heart dance. Kaya pala ganoon ang pakiramdam ko tuwing kasama siya, kaya pala lahat ay pamilyar sa kanya dahil noon pa lang ay kilala ko na siya. Nabulag lang ang aking mata dahil hindi ko maalala ang kanyang itsura pero ang aking puso, kailan man ay hindi ito nakalimot.
"Bakit kasi hindi mo sinabi agad sa akin na ikaw pala si Bryan?!" Humahagulgol kong tanong sa kanya. He raised his eyebrows and pierce his two lovely amused eyes on me.
"I did, I told you but hindi ka naniniwala. Nahampas pa nga ako sa ulo, hindi ba?"
Instead of answering, humiwalay ako sa pagkakayap naming dalawa at pinaulanan siya ng hampas. Hindi malakas ang paghahampas ko sa kaniya, nasa tamang level lamang dahil naalala kong may sugat nga pala siya. Gosh!
"Damn you! Nasa tabi lang pala kita kung saan saan pa kita hinanap, may pa-puntod ka pang nalalaman! Tapos you're engaged? You cheating asshole, akala ko ba ako lang? We agreed to be married when we grow older! Bakit kaibigan ko pa, bakit si Danica pa--"
Hindi ako natapos sa paglalabas ko ng galit at pagkadismaya nang lumapat ang kaniyang malalambot na labi sa akin. His warm, soft and slippery lips pressed against mine. Hindi ako makagalaw, hindi ako gumagalaw because I don't know how to! The first time I kissed someone was the night I was drunk and lost my memories, tho bumalik na at naalala ko na lahat hindi ko pa din alam kung paano humalik! The drink controlled my body that night!
Napansin iyun ni Lucas kaya humiwalay siya sa akin, he was still two inch away from my lips. his hot and minty breath heated my cheeks. His black pupil grew a bit large as he looked into my eyes, amber and green started to swallow his whole iris, leaving no space for the light brown as the sun's ray hit his face. The left corner of his lips rose.
"You still don't know how to kiss?"
He is teasing me. This bastard.
"Of course! Wala naman akong time makipaglaplapan sa iba dahil busy ako kakahanap sa iyo."
"Really? Then, why were you so good during the night we spent together in Leo's room?" his eyes gently shifted to my belly. A warm smile draws across his face. I reflected on his expression, bakas sa kaniyang pagkatao ang sobrang saya at pagkatuwa.
I giggled before ko siyang tinulak at malakas siyang tumawa.
"It was the drink--Don't you dare change the topic, Lucas! Ano iyung puntod mo at bakit si Danica na ang fiancee mo?"
His aura sudeenly changed. From being happy, napalitan ito ng kalungkutan at hindi mapintang pagkadismaya. I raised my eyebrows.
"It's Bryan, baby. It's Bryan Kalen A. Trevino"
