He was beautiful. Like the orange hue of the sky at sunset, like the stars and the moon on the night sky, like the view from the mountain top, like the sound of the waves as they hit the shore.
He was a breath taking sight to behold. His beautiful dark brown eyes that makes the galaxies shine in them, his cute dimpled smile, his soft and sweet voice. Just thinking about him, makes my heart race and puts a smile on my face. God, I love him.....and I miss him.
The only times I get to meet him are on summer vacations and semestral breaks and christmas breaks. But that summer night, was the last we saw of each other.
Last day na namin ngayon sa school kaya naman excited ako dahil makikita ko na ulit siya. Hawak-hawak ang kwintas na bigay niya na suot ko araw-araw at ang mga pangako niya, masaya akong umuwi ng bahay.
Pagpasok na pagpasok ko ng bahay tumakbo ako papunta sa kwarto ko, nagbihis, nag-ayos na din siyempre. Pagbaba ko ng hagdan nakasalubong ko pa si Mama.
"Oh, nandito ka na pa—" Hinalikan ko siya sa pisngi.
"Sa dalampasigan lang ako, Ma!" Putol ko sa sinasabi niya. Hindi ko na siya hinayaan pang sumagot at umalis na agad ng bahay at naglakad na papunta sa beach.
As I walked the exact same road we took everyday to the beach, the smile on my face kept getting wider as I reminisced.
"Waaaaaahhhhhh!!!!" Sigaw ko ng mapatingin ako sa langit. Ang ganda ng langit, ang daming stars. I felt him flinched kaya napatingin ako sa kanya. Our eyes met, and I swear his eyes shined like the stars. We stared at each other for a full minute before he looked up at the skies.
"Ang ganda nila diba?" Sabi ko.
"Yeah. They're beautiful." Sagot niya.
"Mahilig ka din ba mag stargazing?" Tanong ko.
"Not really. Sa Manila kasi, kapag nasa bahay na ako hindi na ako lumalabas." Sagot niya.
"Bakit naman?" Tanong ko habang nakatingin sa kanya. Ang gwapo niya, hindi nakakasawang tignan ang pagmumukha. He just shrugged.
"Kahit sa garden niyo o sa backyard?" Tanong ko. Umiling siya.
"So ito yung first time mo makakita ng stars?" Tanong ko. He chuckled lightly.
"No, silly. It's not my first time but it sure is my first time na makakita ng ganito kadaming stars." Sagot niya at tumingin sa akin ng nakangiti.
"Ang ganda pala nila pag madami sila." Sabi niya habang manghang-mangha na nakatingin sa mga bituin. Now it's my turn to chuckle at his cuteness.
