Sparklings of the stars
The gravity in mars
The music of the birds
The equation and words
I can't find the connection
But I love you in various dimension.
I hope she will finally notice me. I saw her passing by again and seating in her favorite seat in the field.
This time, I take all the courage to talk to her. To finally introduce to her. To finally have the courage to show my love to her.
Tumikhim ako pagkaupo ko sa tabi niya. She's wearing her complete uniform match with her long black hair that is straighten, swaying and dancing through the wind.
She's an eye-cathcher. A damn beautiful girl. Hindi ko namalayang napatitig na pala ako sa kanya ako ng matagal.
"Hello?" Tanong niya habang nakakunot ang noo. "You're weird," but then she smiled sweetly to me.
I definitely drop my jaw. She's so beautiful. I like her features, it's soft and beautiful.
"Maybe you stop staring at me, I might melt down in any minute." She laughs but when I didn't still move, because I'm awe of her smile, she pushed me a little bit. "Hey! Itigil mo iyang kakatitig." Then she laughs again.
"Sorry," I snapped back.
"It's okay. But next time don't do that. Because para kang timang." And she laughs wonderfully, I should be pissed but I found myself smiling.
Feeling ko, buo na ang araw ko.
"Ang ganda-ganda mo lang kasi." I can't stop the sudden burst of words. My mouth can't just stop praising her. She's an epitome of beauty, swear.
"I heard that a lot of times, lahat sila gusto lang manligaw. But anyway, thank you." She smiled and then look at her book.
She's reading an El Filibusterismo. Maybe reviewing?
"May quiz kayo?" I ask her, buildinga comfortable conversation with her. Ang kamay ko nama'y hindi mapakali. Nakahawak sa tuhod kong, taas baba sa maliit na distansya. I always do that, I mean we, boys do that.
"Oo eh. About sa El Fili. Eh medyo di ko naintindihan iyong ibang kabanata kaya binabasa ko. Nakakaiiyak nga iyong ending eh." Kwento niya at hindi ko maiwasang mapatitig sa bawat pagbukas ng bibig niya. Sa bawat pagbuka at pagdampi ng labi niya. Sa bawat kislap ng mata niya habang nagkukwento.
How can I possibly fall like this? Damn, I'm sick.
"Lalo na iyong kinawawa nila ang pamilya ni Juli? Pero ang astig din nang plano ni Simoun. Iyong sa part na pasasabugin nila iyong bahay? Galing! Parang nakaimbento siya ng bomba do'n. Though I didn't know if bomb exist in that time." Madaldal niyang kwento. With her hand gestures. I listen to him intently as I hide my smile for her being so cute.
"Pero kasi si Isagani. Ang ano niya, siya iyong nang bulilyaso ng plano. Ang perfect pa na naman. Bakit kasi sinabi pa ni Basilio sa kanya. Kaya ayon, hindi naipaghiganti at hindi napalaya ni Simoun ang mga pilipino. Ang sad ng ending." Tumango tango naman ako bilang tugon.
"Kay Basilio pa pala. Iyong namatay si Juli saklap din non. Pati iyong pagkamatay ng ina at kapatid niya." I still didn't utter a word but I nod as a sign of an answer.
"Ay, magrereview na pala ako." Then she laugh again.
"Masiyahin ka pala." I told her as if I didn't knew.
"Yes. Bakit hindi ka ba masiyahin, Philip?" She asked me but I was unmoved.
"You... you know my... my name?" Nauutal kong tanong dahil hindi talaga ako makapaniwala.
"Of course! Bakit naman hindi?" Natatawa niyang sabi.
"Paano?" Hindi ko mapigilang tanong dahil hindi ako makapaniwalang kilala niya ako.
She knows me!
The girl I oove for a long time knows me!
All this time, she knows me!
Thank God.
"Anong paano? Weird ka talaga. Basta kilala kita. Don't tell me you didn't know me?" Tanong niya habang nakakunot noo pa. Tila ako'y kinikilatis kung magsasalita ba ako o hindi.
"Of course I know you. You're the famous beautiful Gail of 10-A." I wink as I said those words. She pushed me a little bit as she let out a chuckle.
"Heto naman. Napakabolero. Nambola pa, wala akong piso ineng." Natatawa niyang sabi.
"Hindi iyon bola kasi totoo iyon." I said while laughing. I can't hold my feelings. It's bursting.
I can't hold it.
"Sige push mo pa. Support na lang kita." She jokingly said.
God, I'm really thankful for today. For letting me meet my girl. For letting her know my existence.
"Gail," I spoke her name with much adoration. "Let me tell you a poem."
Her eyes grew bigger, "You love poems?" She exclaimed with much excitement. "Yes," I answered her genuinely. "I love poems too! Though I don't know to make one." She shyly said while putting her both hands in her knees.
"Sige simulan mo na," she excitedly said.
There's a flower
She grows lovely every hour.
Thousands of people behold at her
With the beauty she had master.
Not knowing there's a grass out there
Who's astonished but never dare
To speak for the spark
That in his heart, she left a mark.
But now finally the flower meet the grass
Fortunately, they match so fast
Hoping that this is not the last
For them to ripen the nut.
"Wow ang simple lang pero ang ganda. You made that?"
"Yes." At kinakabahan pa rin ako, kasi iyong puso ko hulog na hulog na talaga saiyo.
Akala ko sa babae lang may ganito. Pati sa mga lalaki nakakaranas rin pala ng ganito.
So weird. So good. Damn.
"I wish makatanggap din ako ng tula sa birthday ko." She laughs as if it's a joke.
"Sure, I can make you one." She pouted but then smiled afterwards.
"No I'm fine. Even though hindi ako nakakatanggap ng poems, okay na ko do'n. Meron naman siya eh." She smiled dreamily, as if she's so happy enough.
And that kills my heart. Masakit. Mahapdi. Masaya ako para sa kanya dahil masaya siya. Pero hindi ko maiwasang malungkot, kasi ang ngiti niya'y dahil sa iba.
Nang lumingon siya sa paparating.
"Hey babe. Who's with you?" The guy standing in front of us asked.
"He's my friend, Philip. Philip, this is my boyfriend Kenneth." I look at them as the guy took Gail's things. Inalalayan niya itong tumayo bago tumingin sa'kin at tumango.
"Sige pre, punta na kami." Tumango lang ako.
"Bye Philip." She bids her goodbye as I heard them talking sweetly to each other while walking away from me.
"Sorry babe di kita nasamahan kanina. Try out kasi namin sa basketball. Alam mo naman diba. Sorry."
"It's okay. You love basketball and I support you." She said happily. Yinakap niya ito sa baywang habang naglalakad sila dahil bitbit noong lalaki ang bag at libro niya.
So sweet, and I'm damn in pain.
I must say, I concedes defeat.
Tumayo na ako at naglakad papuntang classroom.
Joke lang, malay mo may epic comeback?
