SOMEONE POV
PABALANG akong umupo sa isang waiting bench. Where the heck is she?! Kanina pa ako nandito. I was been here for the passed thirty minutes. Sasapakin ko na talaga ang babaeng 'yon. She should have texted me if she will be late. Wala pa akong pahinga.
Natuon ang atensyon ko sa nahulog na dalawang shopping bags. I look at my side and a boy sitting beside me. Mukhang nagulat siya kaya napaluhod siya sa tiled floor. Kinakapa niya ang sahig. Not minding na medyo madumi doon. Nahawakan niya na ang isang shopping bag. Pero pinipilit niya paring hanapin ang isa. Napunta kasi ito sa ilalim ng bench.
I shook my head and also kneeled beside him. I took the shopping bag and handed it to him.
Hindi niya ako napansin. Kaya nauntog siya ng bahagya sa shopping bag na hawak ko. What a stupid. Or is he? Something off with him. Hindi ko alam kung matatawa ako sa katangahan niya.
"Here," I took his hand at inilagay ang maliit na shopping bag doon. Nilingon niya ang kinaroroonan ko.
I saw how his eyes passed through me. Parang nakatingin sa kawalan. O
Parang laging nakatingin sa madilim na lugar at inaaninag ang katapusan nito.
Then it hit me. . .
He's really blind.
"Thank you." Sabi nito. He took the shop-bag at kinapa ang upuan. Naawa ako kaya tinulungan ko siyang makaupo ulit sa bench. I even arrange the shop-bags.
"Thank you, again." He has a baritone voice that could pierce through anyone. His voice is as handsome as he.
"You're welcome." I said, "are you alone?" Wala kasi akong makitang kasama niya.
He slightly shook his head, "No. I'm with my friends. They just bought something."
"You shouldn't be alone."
"I'm okay." He shrugged.
"You're eyes don't say so." Augh! Bakit pa ba ako nakikipag-usap dito? I should just leave right?
No! Angal ng isipan ko. Be with him for a moment. Kawawa naman. He's alone.
Yeah, right.
He smirked at me. He may be looking at my way but his eyes always passed through me.
"My eyes are dead." Walang buhay niyang sagot.
"I know. That's why it's sad."
Hindi siya nakapagsalita agad. Did I hit the bullseye?
"You shouldn't be talking to a stranger like me." Pinilig niya ang ulo niya sa kabilang side.
"Yeah, right." I rolled my eyes. "Says someone who's not lonely."
"I'm not alone." May diin sa bawat salitang binitawan niya.
"Denied it all you want. That's not what I see."
Nagpalinga-linga ako sa paligid, hoping na dumating na ang inaantay ko. Then a girl with black long hair in pink dress came into my sight. She just entered the mall. She gallantly look around when her eyes stop on me. A wide smile escape in her lips. She waved her hand at me and started walking towards me.
