Dialing Jeremiah…
(Demi!)
“Hi?”he smiled.
“Huwag mo nga ako ngitian! Rumurupok ako!”(I miss you so much!)
“Kinikilig ako!”he smiled, I’m not looking at the screen.
(Do you miss me too?)
“Oo, sobra”he still smiling, damn those smiles.
(I badly want to hug your right now)
Silence.
“Sus akala mo naman talaga”he laughed.
I miss those laughs.
(Bakit ka pala napatawag?)
“Kasi hindi kita matiis!”(Ano? Ano ‘yung sagot mo?)
“Mahal kita”he smiled, damn bakit ako kinikilig?
Silence.
(Balik ka na)
“Miss mo na ba ‘yung quarantine girlfriend mo?”(No)
“Edi hindi…”(Miss ko ‘yung Demi ko)
Silence.
(So ikaw na ‘yung nagiging masungit?)he chuckled.
“Ikaw kasi!”(What did I do?)
“Nasaktan mo ako!”(Nagselos ka kay Kath? I knew it, you love me)
“Isa pa… Isa pang banggit mo sa pangalan niya”I rolled my eyes then he chuckled.
(Nagselos ka ba talaga sa kanya?)
“Bakit naman ako magseselos? Sige nga sabihin mo kung bakit?”he just smiled.
“Huwag mo akong nginingitian ng ganyan!”(Bakit? Masama ba?)
“Oo!”(Masama ba na ikaw talaga ang dahilan kung bakit ako masaya?)
Silence.
“Malay ko sa ‘yo…”
Silence.
“Okay fine! Oo, nagselos ako”(Kasi?)
“Kasi nasayang po lahat ng effort ko! Ang sakit kaya na mas inuna mo ‘yung ex-girlfriend mo kaysa sa akin! Sabagay, sino ba naman ako? Iyon minahal mo ‘yun e ako? Ginawa mo lang akong rebound---“(I love you)
Silence.
(Bakit hindi ka makapagsalita?)
“Huh?”(I said I love you)
“Ahhh”(Walang reply?)
Silence.
“Do I really need to reply to that message?”he chuckled.
“Parehas lang ‘yon! Nakakatampo ka pa rin!”inunahan ko na siya dahil alam ko na ginagaya niya ‘yung sinabi ko sa kanya noon.
(I’ve said those words before to someone and now I want that to say to you every time you’re around)
Silence.
(I want to say that now because I’m ready)
“And because you told yourself that the next time that you will say those words, you would mean it”he nodded.
(I was wrong. The word I love you means that I will hold you when you’re hurting.)
Silence.
(Especially what we have right now is real…)
“Pero sabi mo no strings attach”(Fuck those rules)
He chuckled.
(We all break rules for someone)he smiled while looking at me.
“Pero hindi na kita gusto!”I rolled my eyes.
(I still want you back on my life)
“Paano kung ayaw ko?”(Really? Ayaw mo na sa akin?)
I nodded.
(Ayaw mo na sa mga ngiting ganito?)he smiled.
I chuckled.
“Alam na alam mo talaga kung paano ako kunin…”(Are you falling again?)
“What if I fall?”(I’ll catch you. Let’s take risk together)
Silence.
“Thank you for catching me as I fall deeper in love with you”(I love you)
“I love you too, Jeremiah”he smiled, is he blushing?
“Kinikilig ka!”(I’m not!)
“Nakita ko iyong dimples mo! And you hate lies, remember?”(Yeah I am kinikilig. You made me feel this way)
I laughed.
“Isa na namang Miranda ang nahulog sa isang Suarez!”he laughed.
“Hindi mo ba ako liligawan? Pinapatagal mo pa ‘tong usapan natin e!”(Do I really need to do that?)
“Hindi mo ako liligawan?”(Joke lang)
“Tss”(Gusto mo ba na ligawan kita?)
“Ewan ko sa ‘yo bahala ka na! Matutulog na ako!"(Okay! Wait!)
I looked at him.
(I will court you, Demi)
“Seryoso ba ‘yan?”he nodded.
(Pero hindi pa ngayon…)
I faked a smile.
“Okay lang ’yon! Binibiro lang naman kita!”I chuckled.
(Sorry if I don’t want to rush things)
“Joke lang ‘yon, okay?”he nodded.
“Sige na matutulog na ako”(Good night)
“Good morning”(I love you)
I smiled. Then I ended the call.
Mukhang wala talaga kaming patutunguhan. Tama si Kassandra, I’m just wasting my time and effort. Gusto niya lang ako kasi wala siyang kausap, pagkatapos ng quarantine tanggap ko na.
Kailangan ko nang palayain ang isang tao na minsan naging akin, pero ngayon--- susulitin ko muna. Susulitin ko muna habang nasa akin pa siya.
