crystal's point of view.
I heard a knock on my door, as I opened it; I saw Blaster smiling at me. His face was bruised but the bleeding seemed to stop.
"Are you okay?" I ask, why would he come at such a late evening? Without any hesitation, I let Blaster enter my house; welcoming him.
"No." He says in a sad tone, "You need a hug?" I ask. "Yeah, maybe i do." "Well, uhm, masakit pa ba mga sugat mo? Anong nangyari sayo?"
"Uhm.. Do i need to explain that?" I nodded, "Yes you do, why do you have such scars and why are you heavily bruised? You know, do i need to take you to the hospital?" Sunod-sunod na tanong ko. "No, wag na. Pero yes, masakit pa."
"Who did that to you? I mean why would they do that to you?"
"Siguro kasi kadiri akong tao.."
Oh yeah.
Must be his Dad! I saw him on the newspaper this morning!
I don't know what's going on but i think i do.
Complicated shit.
"Hindi ka kadiri, people make mistakes. 'Wag."
"Siguro daw kasi gusto ng mga tao sa paligid ko na balikan kita. Eh paano kung ayaw ko na?"
"Okay lang sa akin na hanggang kaibigan nalang tayo, hindi naman kita masisi kung iba ang gusto mo, 'Ter."
"Sorry ha."
"Okay lang sa akin, ikaw? Okay ka lang ba?"
Siguro nagpapahulog na ulit ako sa patibong niya; siguro tatakbo ulit ako ng paabante sa kalsada na paatras ang andar.
"Hindi. pero siguro kailangan ko lang ng mayakap."
Without any hesitation; i hugged him tight. He makes me feel so soft, so comfortable. He makes me feel safe.
I miss this guy.
He hugs back, i smiled at the response.
I don't want to let go, I don't want to ever let go from this warm hug.
I knew it, Blaster is the one i needed, he always was. He's the tablet to my headache, the gravy on my chicken. In short, he makes everything better.
"I miss you." I say as i smile. "I miss you too." I feel him smile as i hug him even tighter.
"You want coffee?" Aya ko, "Di mo naalala? Acidic ako, bawal ako diyan."
Oh. Yeah.
"Sorry, how about tubig nalang?" I offer, "Sige."
I went to the fridge to get some water, "How's life?" I ask, walking towards him. "Okay lang, pero yung mga pasa ko hindi okay."
"Magiging okay ka rin. Trust me."
"How's Unique? Diba umalis na si---"
"Okay lang pero di na kami naguusap." Agad niyang sagot. "Ah, okay."
"Bakit daw nagbreak sina Shanne tsaka si Zild?"
"Hindi ko alam."
"Okay.."
Awkward silence.
"Crys?"
"Yes?"
"Uhm, can we-- w-we be friends again?"
"Yes."
