"Why did you need to say that I am your friend, Licht, instead of your name?" I asked.
Kumunot ang noo niya habang nakatingin sa akin na tila nainis siya sa aking tanong. "Friend?" He asked.
"Yeah you said boy friend instead of just friend. Halata na naman sa mukha mo na lalaki ka." Tila nagalit lalo siya sa sinabi ko. What did I do?
"The meaning of boyfriend in Silla Clan is different." Sambit niya na ipinagtaka ko naman.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing. From now on, I am your boyfriend." Umiwas ng tingin sa akin si Licht kaya napataas ang isa kong kilay.
"Yeah I know."
"No, you don't." Nagtaka ako sa sinabi niya. "I am your boyfriend only, understood?" Madiin na sabi niya na nagpagulo sa akin. Only? Why?
"What about Kenzu and Clid? They are also my friends."
"Just call them childhood friends even Hanabi and Venus."
Childhood friend? Hindi ko naman sila nakasama noong bata pa ako. I don't understand what he is saying so I just nodded my head. Baka magalit na naman siya sa akin sa hindi malamang dahilan katulad kanina.
"Okay." I replied causing him to smiled at me.
"From now on when we are together, hold my hand." He said before he held my right hand. "Let's go." Akit niya bago kami maglakad.
"Why do we need to hold our hands? This kind of action is only for lovers, right?" I asked but he just stayed silent, not answering my question. I guess it's okay he is my boy friend after all.
Umalis na kami sa lugar na iyon kung saan madaming tao at naghanap na kami ni Licht ng matutulugan naming anim. Sakto naman dumating ang apat sa nahanap namin na matutulugan.
Nagkaroon ng sariling kwarto ang babae at lalaki dahil magkakasama kaming tatlo sa isang kuwarto ni Venus at Hanabi. Habang ang tatlo naman na lalaki ay nasa kabilang kuwarto.
Nakain na kaming lahat maliban kay Licht na natulog na agad sa kuwarto nila.
"Saan kayo pumunta kanina, Amirah?" Nakangiting tanong sa akin ni Venus sa kalagitnaan ng pagkain namin. Lahat sila nakatingin sa akin na tila gustong-gusto nila malaman ang isasagot ko.
"Nothing? Naghanap lang kami ng matutulugan natin." Tila nadismaya ang mga mukha nila nang marinig nila ang sagot ko. "Why?" I asked.
"Boring." Bulong ni Kenzu at Clid bago kumain. Boring?
"Wala man lang magandang nangyari? Like holding hands? Hugs? Kisses?" Nakangiting tanong ni Hanabi pero agad na binatukan siya ni Venus.
"Are they lovers huh?"
Napaisip ako sa tanong ni Hanabi. Licht said when we are together, we need to hold our hands. "We had." Napatingin agad sila sa akin nang sabihin ko iyon kaya napataas ang isa kong kilay. What's wrong with these people?
Tiningnan nila ako na tila may pagkinang sa mata nila. "What happened? What happened?!" Sabay-sabay nilang tanong sa akin.
"He held my hand."
"And then? And then?!"
"Wala na?" Nadismaya ulit ang mga mukha nila sa sagot ko. Bakit? Anong gusto nilang malaman sa akin?
"I can't believe he held your hand." Sabi ni Clid sa akin pagkatapos niya kumain at tumingin sa akin.
"I don't know also. After he said that he is my boyfriend then he im---"
