Playful Beats of Heart (Metro Series #1)

Chapter 26: Turn

Circumstances really do play. And things? It is all unpredictable. Some things might happen expectedly but I guess for me now and most of the time... spontaneously.

It may be small or big, good or bad, it is still all bound to happen. Even if you didn't want it to. Even if you didn't wish for it too.

Because for a girl like me, who only wanted to explore by playing such things never thought I do wish I never play this one game.

For a girl, like me, who always claim to have fun all my existing years never thought that there's a day would come that I wish it didn't happen.

Ang akala ko kasi kapag hindi masyado sineseryoso ang mga bagay, mas malaki ang posibilidad na hindi ako masasaktan.

That if you would just go with the flow, the more the things will just past smoothly.  That if you would just let your own cards to flick with their own, the more the things will be more easier.

Na kapag hindi masyado iniintindi, mas lalong gumagaan. At kapag magaan, mas ligtas. Mas ligtas sa pakiramdam at mas lalong ligtas sa maari pang maramdaman.

But that's what I only thought.

My lips trembled as I stretched my right arm and open my palm. I couldn't help but to feel awe when I catched something cold.

I looked up to the sky only to see that there's no sign of stars. Wala man ay may pumalit naman ngayon.

Now, I catch the falling small snow balls using my both hand. I couldn't really help but stretched my lips into a small smile.

Wearing my black fitted jeans, ribbed beige top, and a pair of high cut boots ay naramdaman ko kaagad ang kaunting lamig na nanimuot sa akin pag ka apak ko sa labas at nang humakbang papunta dito.

This season was obviously ended past February kaya ganito na lang ako ka mangha ngayong gabi na nangyari at nakita ko ito sa unang pagkakataon ng hindi inaasahan.

It supposed to be summer here in Houston now that is late June. But I guess tonight is different.

I don't even know if this is possible and normal right now but I am currently experiencing it first hand so.

"Hi, miss!" a jolly accent voice greeted me outside.

Napalingon ako sa kanila at ngumiti ng tipid. "Done with your shift tonight?" tanong ng isang American cetizen, binatang lalaki na nag che-check in sa apartment na pinag-tatrabahuan ko.

Siguro'y nagtataka sila na maaga akong nakalabas sa Downtown.

"Uh, yes...I was moved tomorrow for day shift so they let me go out this early."

Parehong tumango sabay ngiti ang dalawang teen ager bitbit ang kani-kanilang bag pack. Alam kong ganitong oras talaga ang mga uwi ng mga nag-aaral ng summer class na estudyante.

Their blonde clean cut hair really complimented their pale and frickled skin.

"Oh I see! We'll see you tomorrow morning then!"

Hindi ko maiwasang mapangiti.  Despites of their unfamiliar faces, their simple gestures made a big help to me. It made me feel like somehow, despites of what I did, I am still allowed to continue. To feel light and good even in a short time.

"Have a goodnight!" ani ng pinaka payat at matangkad na minsan lang ako pansinin pag nasa front desk. Not that I comply though, ganoon rin  naman kasi ang mga iba.

"Yeah sure..." sagot ko, di nawawala ang tipid na ngiti. Napatingin naman ako sa mga kamay kong natunawan na pala ng mga nasalo kong yelo.

I heard them loudly talked while stepping inside. Tiningala ko ulit ang parang ambon na nagsisilaglagan ang mga snow.
