"You're making this conversation go further. Ayaw mo lang matulog." Puna ni Paco. I smirk when he finally realized my purpose.
Kung bakit bigla akong naging madaldal na kahit ang tungkol kay Fukuda at Lala ay naikwento ko na. Napalabi ako nang pilitin niya akong pumikit.
"Sleep."
"I can't. My mind is preoccupied with other things."
"Like?"
"I don't want to talk about it." Tanggi ko.
"Anong pwede kong gawin?"
"Distract me." Simpleng sagot ko. He tried delivering a mini dance number as he sway for the baby shark song.
"Stop it. Wag ka nang sumayaw. Ang sagwa tignan." Komento ko. Mabuti na lang talaga at maganda ang boses niya.
"Kantahan mo na lang ako. Baka sakaling makatulog ako sa boses mo."
"Pagkatapos mong laitin yong dancing skill ko, ngayon naman sasabihin mong nakakaantok 'yong boses ko? You're really bad for my ego."
"I like your voice." Amin ko.
"I hope you like me too."
"Try again, next time." Nakataas-kilay kong pambabara sa banat niya na tinawanan lang niya. "Sing for me." Utos ko ulit.
"What kind of song, Binibini?"
"Your choice, Ginoo."
"Sure ka? Baka mabighani ka?"
"Nah! I don't think so. I don't easily fall."
"I promise. One day, you'll fall for me."
"Confident, ginoo?"
"Faith lang."
"Huh?"
"Something you don't see, but you believe and hope to happen." He said as he looked at my questioning eyes.
"Will you be able to tell that if you have suffered more than enough?" I challenged him. He's too idealistic. Did he already experience the cruelty of life? Maybe not. He seems very optimistic. Has he cried over something he wants but was never given the chance?
Maybe not.
"Life is not about how much we suffered, but how much we overcame. Hindi titigil ang mundo para hintayin kang maging okay. Life goes on, no matter what situation we are in." Saad niya na ikinatahimik ko.
Parang ibang Paco ang kaharap ko. Bakit parang tinamaan ako sa lahat ng sinabi niya. Kasi totoo naman. Hindi titigil ang ikot ng mundo para hintaying maging okay ka.
"You know what makes life more beautiful?" Tanong niya nang hindi ako kumibo.
"It's the people around us. The person we care and the person we love."
Malungkot akong napangiti. "I have one. But she was taken away too early." I said while thinking about Joya. Alam kong alam niya ang tinutukoy ko.
