We care for each other.
We're sweet.
We act like we're actually one of those couples walking in the park, hands clasped together.
We both knew that we're sharing something special.
Pero wala kaming label.
Sabi ni Merriam Webster, label is a piece of paper, cloth, or similar material that is attached to something to identify or describe it.
Eto pa, label is to name or describe (someone or something) in a specified way : to give a label to (someone or something)
Hindi pa 'ko nakuntento kay Merriam, tinanong ko pa parents ko. And they said that they don't need to define what a label is. They already are the label. So I ended up rolling my eyes instead of getting something worth-filling-my-confusion kind of answer.
Tinanong ko friends ko, but they are all gago's. They answered, why don't you ask Thirdy? even her sister said something that made me walked out. Ikaw nalang magtanong kay Kuya, Ate. He's half human-half turtle remember?
"What's with the forehead?"
I felt something cold touched my forehead and my nerves immediately ordered me to react.
I looked up and saw the man who's been confusing me for god knows how long already.
I rolled my eyes at him and took the frappe he ordered for me.
He sat on the chair that is just in front of mine. I was looking at him while he was busy playing mobile legends on his phone. Confused. If I should ask him or just let this one go and wait for him to make the move.
But then Dani appeared in my thought again.
He's half human-half turtle..
She's right. No matter how hard I want to disagree with her, she will always end up right and i'll always ask my self why didn't i just believed her in the first place.
I took a deep breath, loud enough to catch his attention. He looked at me confusedly.
"Problema mo?" he asked raising one of his untouched brows.
Goddamn it. Should i really do this?
I swallowed and tried my best to look tough in front of him. I hid my hands under the table. I can't show them off, i'm sweating and it's freakin' weird. I mean, the cafe's fully air-conditioned.
"I-I want to ask you something." i cursed on my thought. Why the hell did I stuttered?!
Now he looked even more confused. He put his phone down on the table, a gesture that he's willing to listen. That made me smile a bit.
"Go on."
I swallowed, again. I pursed my lips. Took a deep breath.
Here I go.
"Ano ba tayo?"
