Reaching You

Prologue

Shes there in her usual spot, alone again, with thick book on her hand. All of her attention is directed to the book shes reading that she never noticed that almost all of the boys here are staring--- more like fantasizing at her. She really have a world of her own.

Man! I can almost see you drooling Its Jovann interrupting me. Ibinaling ko ang atensyon sa kanya at binagyan siya ng nakakamatay na tingin.

Gago! Ikaw tong naglalaway kasi mukha kang aso! Shut up and mind your own fucking business nanlaki naman ang mata niya sa sinabi ko

Hoy gago! Gwapo kamo hindi aso! Kung hindi mo alam, madaming babaeng nagkakandarapa sa akin. Yung iba nga halos sambahin na ang dinadaanan ko

Hoy ugok gumising ka! sigaw ko sabay batok sa kanya nanaginip ka ng gising gago! napahalakhak naman ako sa itsura ng mukha niya

Babatukan na niya sana ako pabalik ng may tumikhim sa harapan namin. Sabay kaming napatingin ni Jovann sa babaeng humahalukipkip sa harapan namin. Yung masungit na librarian pala.

You two! Youre noise is disturbing other students here! Get out!

Tumayo naman kami ni Jovann, Ganon kami kadaling kausap. Ayaw naman naming mabugahan ng dragon. Palibhasa matandang dalaga kaya palaging may sumpong.

Nagsimula na kaming maglakad patungong pinto ng library, nang maalala kong nakalimutan kong kunin ang cellphone ko sa ibabaw ng mesa.

Bigla akong napahinto para bumalik. Pero natigilan ako nang may naumpog sa likod ko.

Hinarap ko ang naumpog sa akin.

Shes on her knees collecting the books that probably fell. I immediately bend down to help her collecting the books. But I felt astonished when I saw her face.

Shes already beautiful from afar but I didnt imagine shes way more beautiful face to face.

She looks like an angel in white uniform. Damn!

Dahil titig na titig ako sa mukha niya wala akong naitulong sa pagpulot ng libro niya. Napulot na niya lahat. Tumayo siya nang hindi manlang ako tinitingnan.

Im sorr-- hindi ko paman natatapos ang sasabihin ko nang walang imik itong umalis. Naiwan akong tameme.

Wala ka pala pre eh! Ang weak mo! kantyaw ni Jovann habang humahalakhak

Manahimik ka! Yang tinatawa-tawa mo, iiyak mo yan mamaya kung hindi mo ako titigilan

Its okay man. Balita ko, wala naman talagang kinakausap yun. Weirdo yun eh, maghanap ka nalang ng iba sabi niya na parang hindi niya narinig ang singhal ko.

Napailing nalang ako.

Shes definitely not a weirdo. That word wont suit to her beautiful and angelic face. Shes unique. Shes different. Shes interesting.

Im walking through the hallway of PharMed building. I dont belong to this department but I wanted to see her.

I stop walking when I spotted her.

Shes sitting in front, the teacher is still not around. Magulo ang mga kaklase niya pero siya lang ang bukod tanging tahimik na umuupo at may hawak na namang makapal na libro. Kailan niya ba titigilan ang librong yan? I want her to see me, I want her to notice me.

Naputol ang pagmamasid ko sa kanya ng biglang may kamay na pumulupot sa aking leeg.

are you here to see me babe? Oh how sweet sabi ng babaeng ni hindi ko matandaan ang pangalan. Probably one of my flings.

Maganda naman siya, but her beauty is ordinary. Beautiful but not beautiful enough to take my breath away.

But Im a healthy man with needs, I cant turn down a girl like that.

I look at her and smile widely. Its playtime again.

Yeah babe, are you free later? Im kinda bored I said to her and that made her face light up.

of course! Im free, wanna go to my place?--- she giggled. So shes more than willing huh ---lets do something with your boredom sabi niya sabay kindat sakin.

if thats what you want then hinapit ko siya sa baywang para mas mapalapit ang katawan niya sakin.

I was about to kiss the girl when I met the gaze of my angel. Shes looking at us with so much disgust in her eyes. I froze.

Napabitaw ako sa babae sa harapan ko. Tinanggal ko ang pagkakapit niya sa aking leeg.

whats wrong? nagulat sa inasta ko

nothing, I forgot to do something important. I think I cant go with you

Napabusangot naman siya sa sinabi ko.

Hindi ba pwedeng ipagpaliban yan? Come on lets have fun. Just do it some other time pangungumbinsi niya sa akin.

Sorry babe, its very important. For me its a matter of life and death. So please, if you dont mind Ill excuse myself I turn around and raise my hand while walking away.

I hope my angel wont remember what happened earlier. I dont want that shell have a bad impression on me.

Im may be a stranger for now but wait my angel, I will do everything to break your wall.

Ill reach you in your pedestal,

and I will make you mine.
