Skies Calculations (Skies Series #1)

ONE

"Hi! Anong pangalan mo?" Nakatingin saakin yung batang lalaki, sobrang gwapo niya naman, feeling ko crush ko na siya.

"Ako pala si Maika Erekah Adair, 8 years old, ikaw anong pangalan mo?" Nakita ko yung tingin saakin nung bata and parang nahihirapan siyang sabihin yung pangalan ko.

"Ako pala si Miguel Eros Dixon, 9 years old. Ang ganda mo naman." Dahil don ngumiti ako, siya din naman gwapo, makapal na kilay, matangos na ilong, pinkish na labi, tapos ang ganda ng pilikmata niya at sobrang puti pa niya, yung buhok niya naka-gel pero may nalaglag na strand ng buhok niya. Natigil ako sa pag-admire sakanya nung niyugyog niya yung balikat ko.

"Huy okay ka lang?" Tinignan ko naman siya at parang nahihiya pa.

"Ah! Oo! Sige Eros, una na ko kailangan ko ng umuwi, bye!" Maglalakad na sana ako palayo nung bigla niya kong hinigit tapos hinawakan yung kamay ko.

"Tara hahatid na kita Erekah." Nagulat ako nung tawagin niya kong Erekah tanging yung family ko lang yung tumatawag saakn non pero ang ganda din naman pakinggan pag siya yung nagsasabi. Habang pauwi kami naglalakad lang kami habang tumatawa, pero para bang may iba na kong nararamdaman,ramdam ko na ang saya ko pag kasama ko siya.

Nagdaan yung mga taon, hanggang sa mag debut na ko siya yung kasama ko sa lahat ng bagay, hindi kami mapaghiwalay hanggang sa dumating yung araw na magbabago ng lahat. Pumunta si Eros sa bahay, akala ko pumunta siya para bisitahin ako pero nagulat ako nung pinatawag siya ni Mom and kinakausap niya si Eros kasama si Empress, lumapit ako para mas marinig ko yung usapan nila, at nung marinig ko na, para bang gumuho yung mundo ko, unti-unti akong nadudurog.

"Anak, Empress this is Eros anak ng kumare ko, remember your Tita Ezra? Yan siya yung panganay na anak nila, and we've decided that we would like you both to get married someday." Natulala ako and maglalakd na sana ako pabalik sa kwarto ko when I accidentally made a sound. Napatingin saakin sila Mom at tinawag niya ko. I come near them at binati ko si Eros. Nagkatitigan kami ni Eros when suddenly Mom asked me a question.

"I think you over heard our conversation Erekah. Aren't you happy for your bestfriend and sister? Congratulate them." I looked at Empress and she gave me a grin. I also looked at Eros but then he looked away. I don't want to lie, but I have to.

"Of course Mom, I'm happy for them, I think they will be a great couple. Congratulations!" Then I cried, I told them that it is a Tears of Joy but in fact it is really a Tears of Pain.

I looked at Eros and I saw pain in his eyes, giving me the 'I'm-sorry' look. I smiled at him and walked away heading back to my room, crying.

Nagising ako from that weird dream of mine dahil sa tunog ng alarm sa phone ko, napatulala pa ko sandali sa kisame, thinking about my dream when I've realized that finally the most awaited day of my life has come, this is it, I'm going home.

Two months ago I graduated BS Tourism Management on a not so well known university here on US. I've decided to stay here for 5 more months before I settle myself and ready myself to go home but then there have been a change of plans because of Kuya Misher and Ate Cloe.
