I can't believe I'm actually standing again infront of him. Sa wakas, sa tagal ng paghihintay ko sayo sa punong ito, nagpakita ka na din. And right now, gusto kong makita ang ekspresyon sa mukha mo. With that helmet on, you only look like an empty vessel. I'm curious kung ano ba ang madalas mong ekspresyon sa mukha mo. Palangiti ka ba? Seryoso? Mukhang masungit? O may malungkot ka ring mukha? I badly want to see your face, Knight Rider.
Bumaba ako mula sa motor ko and slowly walks closer to him habang sya ay nanatiling nakatayo, motionless.
"I... I guess you got my message." paninimula ko ng bigla syang kumilos and closes the space between us.
Sobrang lapit na nya na kung wala ang helmet nya, siguro mararamdaman ko na ang hininga nya sa noo ko. Napalunok na lang ako habang nakatitig sa dibdib nya.
"You waited for so long, my Queen." sh***t, that voice. Kahit medyo muffled sya dahil sa helmet, ramdam ko ang kaswabehan ng boses nya that it sends chills into my spine.
"I... I don't know... how to reach you. I don't know who you are... I don't know where you live... I don't know who you are with..." and I don't know what I'm blabbering about.
"Do you want to know?" napatingala ako bigla. Not that I could see him na ganito kalapit, but what he said caught my interest. Kaya dahil dun, napabalik ako sa ispirito ko.
"Yes!" wala ng patumpik-tumpik. Kahit na alam ko namang it won't be that easy.
When suddenly he touched my neck. No. Hinawi nya yung buhok ko sa leeg papuntang likod. Sh***t talaga. Di ko mapaliwanag pakiramdam ko ngayon. Kinikilig? Excitement? Kaba?
"I wish I could do that too." what?
"What do you mean? H-Hindi mo ba talaga maaaring ipakilala sarili mo sakin? Does someone tells you to hide your identity? Are you being blackmailed?" he chuckled.
"You know, there are things that're suppose to remain unsaid to keep everything in place, my Queen." ano pa nga ba inaasahan ko. I won't get anything from him kapag katauhan na nya ang pag-uusapan.
"Okay." huminga na lang ako ng malalim telling him that I won't resist anymore.
"Then please tell me the truth about just this one incident." inayos na nya ang tindig nya na para bang nawari na nya na seryosong usapan ang gusto ko.
"The reason I wanted to see you here, in this place, ay dahil may gusto akong malaman." he kept silent, naghihintay.
"About the car accident happened here, years ago... with those two innocent people. I-Is it true?" di ko matuloy-tuloy yung mismong tanong na gusto kong malaman ang kasagutan. But still, he patiently waited hanggang sa masabi ko.
"T-That you killed those couple?"
"No." well, that's very unexpected. And quick. And confident.
Halos di ako agad naka-compose ng susunod kong sasabihin.
"D-Do you think I would believe that easily?"
"Do you think I'd lie?" napaisip ako sa sagot nya.
Come to think of it. I never heard about Knight Rider lying or denying something he did.
