Hindi ko alam kung anong pumasok sa isip ko para bilhin yung mga t-shirt na may pambatang designs. I though it would look nice to Kiro. And YES, his looks definitely changed lalo na pag bagong ligo. From his serious looking aura to a completely clueless normal person.
I started living with Kiro with his Mother ever since my Mom died in an accident. My dad would like to keep me but I didn't. He lived in America. I chose to live here in Philippines.
Kiro is so smart since we we're kids. Hindi ko siya mahabol kahit anong gawin ko. He even know how to play most of the instrument. He's almost perfect. Hindi ko lang maintindihan ay kung bakit siya nakipagpalit sakin ng position being a vice-president. Lagi kong tinatanong sakaniya yun. Bakit? Naaawa ba siya sa akin? Does he pity me? But Kiro isn't that kind of person. He doesn't care of his surroundings.
I just shake my head and returned to cooking. Andaya talaga ni Kiro eh. Sabagay, siya naman na daw maghuhugas.
Sinilip ko siya saglit sa sala. The TV is on but he's wearing some weird sunglasses. Seriously?
"That's new. You're watching TV while wearing sunglasses." I said as I continue to cook.
"Bro, it's too bright." He said still looking on TV.
I remained silent. I forgot.
I finished cooking our dinner and already set our plates.
"Tara kain na." I said after I washed my hands.
He stood up walking towards to the sink, also to wash his hands.
"What's this?" He said teasingly after he sat.
"Hotdog bro." Sabi ko sabay sumubo ng isang kutsara.
"You look serious cooking there tapos hotdog lang pala?" He joked.
I only ignored it. He's still wearing the sunglasses.
"You want me to turn off the light and just use candles?" I asked him.
"Nahh this is fine." Sabi niya habang patuloy parin sa pagkain.
We finished our food in just a minute. Hindi kami masyado nagpapakabusog. Well, Kiro keep his promise and washed the plates.
"I couldn't believe that there are two rooms in this fucking little house of yours." Kiro said as he finished cleaning his room while I am sitting here in the couch.
Well, I requested for it. I always thought Kiro would stay.
After he washed his hands AGAIN, he joined me in the couch.
"I met her." He mumbled.
"Who?" Not taking my eyes off on TV.
"The one who made me smile 6 years ago." He continued.
I look at him surprisingly. "What's her name!?" I excitedly ask him.
"Secret bro." As he tapped my shoulder.
"Geez ang damot mo." I don't want to push him.
Speaking of the girl, she's the one who made Kiro smile despite of him being cold. When me and his mother saw him smiling in the garden back then, I asked him what happened. I also asked if he knew the girl's name and answered he didn't. He just said that her smile was the most beautiful smile he saw. I want to meet the girl and thanked her.
"Ahh too bright." He said out of nowhere.
"Want me to change the bulbs?" I asked worryingly.
"No, it's okay. I'm just gonna wear some sunglasses." He answered.
"Why don't you also wear some in school?" I asked him again.
"It would be weird to other students and others might laugh." Sagot niya.
Oo nga naman.
"Want me to buy you contact lenses?" Tanong ko na naman. I can't stop myself worrying about him. He's too fragile.
"Bro, I said I'm fine okay?" He answered in a calm tone.
I just nodded and returned to watching.
"Nga pala, why don't you wear your badge?" I asked him again.
Nagtataka lang kasi ako. All of the members of the Student Council wears their badge except him.
"I don't know. I don't want walking around while other students are staring at me and hearing them say hala siya pala yung vice-president or whatsoever." He explained.
As expected. He doesn't want too much attention.
"Just make sure that you wear it in important events, got it?" I said.
"Yahh, got it." He respond.
After a while, he stood up saying "Sige na, mauna na 'ko sayo." While waving his hands.
"Sure. Goodnight." Sabi ko nalang.
I continued watching TV. My eyes is focused on it while my mind isn't.
I did said that he's almost perfect. But there's an exception. His eyes. Even though most of the people that saw it loves it, I don't like it. Everyone loves the colour of it, but I don't. Kung pwede nga lang paltan ko yung mga kulay ng mata niya, I'll do it. Just like what he did to our position.
His eyes are way too sensitive. The colour of his eyes just make it less protective. Just a little amount of bright light makes his eyes hurt and then get blurry for a minutes. There's even a time that the blurred lasted for an hour. I'm afraid that he might go completely..... blind.
His eyes... It's beautiful to others, yet, destructive to himself.
