HE was equally surprised as me.

"Y-you..." I stared intently into his eyes. "In the yacht..."

He avoided my gaze and stood.

"W-Wave, are you-"

"Excuse me," he said hardly and walked away.

I was still processing.

"Wave," I called while staring at his back.

He's that man! Sa yate! 'Yong tumulong sa 'kin!

That's when I stood in panic, walking after him but his steps were large! Mas binilisan ko ang hakbang, halos takbuhin na ang distansya namin.

"Wave!" I screamed. Nawala siya sa paningin ko kaya tinakbo ko ang cabana niya at kumatok.

"Wave, Wave, talk to me!" I called and knocked but he didn't answer. "Let's just talk, Wave, please..."

No one answered. Mariing naipikit ko ang mata at pabalik-balik na naglakad sa pintuan niya.

His eyes aren't just brown, he has two colored eyes! And the public didn't know about this! Wave has been keeping this secret for years now! Probably all his life!

Siya iyong nakausap ko sa yate! That's why he reacted like that when I mentioned it earlier! He was that man!

But why was he keeping it a secret? It's beautiful so I don't get why...

"Wave, please, let's talk?" ulit ko. "Wave-"

The door opened, revealing Wave in his usual cold stare. It sent shivers all over my spine and when I got closer, I realized his eyes were brown again.

He was hiding it under his contacts! Kaya pala may iba sa mga mata niya kapag tinititigan!

I swallowed the lump in my throat.

"Wave..."

"Leave," malamig at mariin niyang sabi. Lumunok ako't umiling.

"Ano bang sinasabi mo-"

"I'm a fucking mess, run now, Zirena." He gritted his teeth.

"You're not!" Giit ko. "Wave, please. You're a good person! You helped me-"

"Just because I helped you doesn't mean I am a good person!" Pumikit siya ng mariin at frustrated na sinuklay ang buhok. "I'm a fucking monster, Zirena. Look at me!"

But I couldn't see the monster he was claiming to be. I could just see a person. A human.

"You're not! 'Di ba sinabi ko naman sa 'yo no'ng una pa lang tayong magkita na-"

"You were just blinded." Natawa siya at umigting ang panga. "No one will ever like some fucktard like me, I'm a monster Zirena. I was made and born like this, to be hated, to be disgusted."

I didn't get it kaya umiling lang ako, masakit ang pagkalabog ng puso.

"Who told you that? Don't say that! Maraming nagmamahal sa 'yo-"

"They loved my image, Zirena! Not me! My image!" He retorted. "They loved me from the surface! They loved this version of me because they didn't know who I really was!"

"W-Wave, please don't say that..." I asked, trying to calm him down. "Mag-usap tayo-"

"Go back now, Zirena," kalmado niyang sabi pero may riin. I took a step forward and tried reaching him but he moved away, his knuckles fisted.

"Kung hindi ka magugustuhan ng ibang tao, ibahin mo ako! I know you have a good heart-"

"That's bullshit, Zire." Mapait siyang umiling, madilim ang tingin. "What you only see was the surface, all of you. If you get to know everything? Let's see if you could still say the same. Baka ikaw pa mismo ang maunang tumakbo."
