A Fool For Him

26 - His side

26 -  His side

Pakiramdam ko may nabara sa dibdib ko. Hindi kasi ako makahinga ng maayos nang dahil sa sakit na nararamdaman ko.

Hinawakan ko ng mahigpit yung kwintas na binigay niya sa'kin. Biglang sumagi sa isip ko yung surprise ni Zero sa'kin noon at ang mga sinabi niya sa'kin...

1 month ago...

Kumakain ako ng mallows sa room ko ngayon habang ka-Skype si Reige. Minsan lang niya kami icontact ng batang 'to, e. 'Di ko alam kung bakit.

"Ba't ngayon mo lang sinagot ang tawag ko, ha?" tanong ko.

Nakasuot siya ng sweater. Nagsnosnow ata sa kanila dun. Pulang-pula na nga 'yong ilong at pisngi niya, e.

"School's keeping me busy, retard. That's why." he said.

"Ugh. Hindi ka pa talaga nagbabago, Reige. Pustahan tayo, wala kang kaibigan diyan."

Napatigil siya sa pagbabasa ng libro niya at inilapag ito sa kama niya. He sighed. "Bye, retard. Gonna get ready for school."

"Teka naman, Reige!" sigaw ko pero nadisconnect na yung tawag. Sinubukan kong tawagin siya ulit pero nakaoffline na siya.

Ba't ba ang lungkut-lungkot niya? Ano ba ang problema ng batang 'yon?

My phone beeped and I saw Zero's name on it. Agad kong binuksan ang message niya na nakangiti.

Tengene. Ako na ang in lab!

Zero: Open the door.

I ran towards the door from the balcony and took a deep breath before opening it. And there I saw him standing in front of me.

Ay? Deja vu lang?

I smiled. "Anong ginagawa mo dito?"

He moved to close the gap between us and held my hands. It felt so warm with my hands on his. It's like everything is in their place. I feel so comfortable when I'm with him.

I looked up to stare and drown into his eyes and he also did the same, too. Savoring each moment.

"I have a surprise for you." he said.

"Where?"

Binitiwan niya ang isang kamay ko at may kinuha sa back pocket niya, never leaving my eyes.

Ipinakita niya sa'kin ang isang red box. He opened it and I gasped when I saw a necklace with a star hanging on it.

"Wow. This is... beautiful." I said, a grin never leaving my lips.

"Not beautiful as you are." he said that made me blush.

Tae. Andito na naman tayo sa Zero-kilig-moments! Kyaaa!

"Come on. I'm gonna put it on you." sabi niya.

"Okay dokie!" I said before turning my back at him and putting my hair at the side.

"I picked a star because it really suited you." he said as he placed the necklace on my neck.

"Ha? Bakit naman? Mukha ba akong bituin? Hindi naman ako nagsa-shine ah!"

"Tanga."

I pouted. "Kung makatanga naman 'to!"

I heard him chuckled as he pulled me close to him. He rested his chin on my shoulder and circled his arms around my waist. I then looked at him and saw him looking up into the night sky with millions of stars up there.
