Hello, Travis

Chapter 3 [short continuation]

Chapter 3.2





Silence is what I only heard after. Ayaw niya din magsalita. Am I being selfish? Hindi ko na kasi alam. I've never been like this before. Pakiramdam ko kasi may dapat akong malaman behind her calls. It's been bugging me since.



“I'm sorry.”



[“Sorry for?”]



“Selfish.” Fine. I admit it, I am selfish.



[“Stupid. I am the one who is selfish. Normal lang na magkaganyan ka. Kahit sinong nasa kalagayan mo, pipilitin na mahanap kung sinong unknown caller niya.”]



“Di ko kasi maintindihan kung bakit kelangan mo pang magtago.” I heard something from the other line. Parang isang bukas ng pinto.



[“I have my personal reasons though. But you'll know soon. Hey, not there!”] May kausap siyang iba? [“Don't tell me, nahuhulog ka na sakin?”]



Bumilis tibok ng puso ko. Halata na naman siguro di ba? But isn't it too weird if I fall in love with her because of her angelic voice? Is it even possible? Mas pinili ko nalang na di sumagot.




[“There! Hey, don't touch my things.*who are you talking to?* You don't care~ *I'm telling papa* Aish. Just leave, please?”]



“Sino 'yun?”



[“Pinsan ko. *Eh! Lily has a boyfriend~* Ahh! Shut up!!”]



“Li-lily ang pangalan mo?”



[“Shoo! Out! *Papa! Si Li-* I'm gonna kill you!!”]




Di ko napigilan ang sarili ko na matawa. Halatang naiinis na siya. So her name is Lily? Pero wala akong kilalang Lily na kaklase o kahit kabatch ko. Kung sabagay uunti lang naman ang kilala kong Seniors. Pero ang meaning ba ng Lily ay song? =_=a




[“I know what you're thinking. Lily is just what my relatives call me.”] Narinig ko 'yung paghiga niya sa kama. [“You gain no clue, Travis. Ble!”]



“I don't care.” I smiled. Nawala bigla ang inis ko.



[“You don't care?”]



“Yup. Atleast, I have some name to call you. Hindi na Ms. Caller or my singer and likes. Right, LILY?” I chuckled.



[“Don't call me Lily.”] She sighed..



“Why?” Hinanap ko 'yung headset ko sa side table ko at inayos 'yun sa phone ko.



[“Wala. Para kasing hindi ako 'yun yung Lily pag nakakausap kita. Lily is different from who I am to you right now.”] My heart began to pound on its speed pace, again. [“Bothersome ba pag di mo kilala kung sino kausap mo?”]



I nodded na parang kita niya.




[“Then call me anything you want.”]



“Papayag ka ba kung tawagin kitang baby, babe, love or honey?” Napatawa ako sa sinabi ko. Ewan ko. Siguro kung may kakilala akong katabi ngayon napagsasapok na ako sa sinabi ko o sinabihan ako ng 'Ew' o 'Yuck'. Unbelievable.



[“Haha! Silly.”] I closed my eyes and imagined of what she can be possibly look like. [“Fine, call me Ree.”]



“Ri?”



[“R-E-E. REE.”]




Ree?



Rica Lee? @_@?
