Chapter 13: Clearing Thoughts

“I’m so sorry Pinn.”
“Hmm...” ang tanging sinabi nya habang umiiling.
Then I thought, everything’s gonna be okay.
Perhaps it will.

May mga taong nagtitilian, mga aftershock sa nangyari sa harap ng stage pero ako isa lang ang iniisip ko. Yun yung makapag explain sa kanya at magkaintindihan na ulit kami.
After we got off-stage I brought her to some private place where we can talk. We ended up at the same corridor where she left and confessed to me.
Naupo ako sa gilid ng corridor. Sumunod si Pinn sakin at sumandal sa may veranda.
“Di mo na ba ko tatakbuhan ngayon?” kabado kong tinanung sa kanya.
Napatawa sya ng mahina.
“Bakit naman kita tatakbuhan?” balik nyang tanong sa’kin.
“Naninigurado lang.”
After a week of finding and seeking, after some days of not talking to each other, ngayon ko lang nalamang mahirap simulan yung mga gusto mong sabihin sa isang tao. Walang nagsasalita saming dalawa. We were waiting for each other to talk first. I gulped like my troat is stucked on a branch then get the courage out of me to say something first.
“So...” we said in unison. Napatingin kami sa isa’t isa.
I couldn’t help myself and laughed at our awkwardness towards each other. Hindi ko naimagine sa tanang buhay ko na magiging ganito kami ni Pinn. She also laughed at our own clumsiness. Talagang kabisado na namin ang isa’t isa after all those years.
“Hindi naman halatang pareho tayo ng iniisip.” Sabi ko sa kanya habang pinipipilit pahintuin ang tawa ko.
“Lagi naman tayong ganito eh.” She was still giggling while she said those words.
After some time we got quiet again, the loads of heavy atmosphere loosen as time passed by.
