Chapter 28: His existence

Someone's POV

It was my 8th boring summer in my whole existence when our neighbor, Mr. & Mrs. Fausti who can't bear a child, brought home a girl somehow near my age.

She is pretty. With her long, black and silky hair that danced against the blowing wind. Her skin is pure milk, and looked like soft even from a distance.

I saw her smile as her new Dad kneeled in front of her and handed her a lollipop, which is every kids' taste bud is fond of. Her smile was angelic, with her big and bright eyes.

She captivated my eyes the first time I saw her. The first time I saw her, was the best summer I had.

"Mommy, nakita niyo na po 'yung anak nila Tito Rigor?" I asked my Mom. Agad namang kumunot ang noo niya.

"Anak?" She asked.

"Yes Mom!" I replied.

Nagtungo siya palabas at agad nakita ang batang babae at napangiti. My Parents are friends with Mr. & Mrs. Fausti. Kaya nga halos magkadikit lang ang mga bahay namin, and business as well is associated together.

Pumasok din siya agad sa bahay at kumuha ng Jar. Nilagyan niya ito ng mga cookies na ni-bake niya. My Mom is good at baking and cooking.

Pinuno niya ang jar ng mga cookies. After that she handed it to me. "Ibigay mo sakanila ito, okay?" Aniya.

Tumango lang ako. "Daddy and I will go work. We'll come home late, kaya 'wag mo na kaming hintayin." She says, trying to remain the sweetness in her voice.

I nodded. I'm used to it already. Napalingon si Mommy sa labas, nang marinig niya na ang pagtawag ni Daddy.. aalis na naman sila. It's obvious, my parents are workaholic, they're married in their business.

It took me some time before I tried to approach her in their house. Naligo pa ako at inayos ang sarili ko.

I knocked. Okay, inhale and exhale, I did that to refrain from my nervousness.

One, two, three, I counted, and there she was, slowly opening the door in between us. The smile disappeared from her face. "Who are you?" Supladang tanong niya.

"Cookies?" Tanong ko agad upang mawala ang kaba sa aking dibdib, at ipinakita ang jar ng cookies.

We became instantly friends. We went to the same highschool and had most of the time together doing and exploring things.

We are on our school grassfield. Nakahiga at nakatingin sa langit. It is already 6pm, kaya hindi na ganoon kaliwanag ang langit at wala na rin masyadong tao.

She is frowning, I smiled. "Huy, nagiging bruha ka na." Pangaasar ko sa kaniya.

Napatingin siya saakin, our faces almost touched. "I'm scared. At naiinis at the same time." Walang emosyong sabi niya.

Kumunot ang noo ko. "About what?" I asked. Somehow my hints na akong naiisip.

"The marriage our parents are talking about." She says.

Napawi ang ngiti sa aking labi. I stopped my thoughts from thinking the negativities.

"Why? Do you secretly hate me?" I asked in a serious tone.

Hinampas niya ang balikat ko and laughed a little. "No, of course!" She says.

Kumunot lang ang noo ko. "We're too young, at saka I wanna experience many  things bago ako matali sa kasal. I want to explore the world." Mahinahong sinabi niya.
