PLAYLIST #10: Fake Sakura

3rd Person's View

The sun has met its end. Millions of stars started to shine above the dark blue skies, it's like an animation in Rain's eyes, seeing the bright yellowish moon standing out along the black grumpy clouds, was never been so calming before, not without this atmosphere, not without the fake sakara, not without the memories.

Rain stood in melancholic, but relaxed aura, with fake sakura, everything was just so nostalgic.

Fake sakura is what is call to the tree with pink tiny leaves that looks like a sakura tree from Japan. His father never knew what was the tree called originally but he just told Rain that it looked like the one they saw in television. A sakura tree. And so, they both called it the fake sakura or sometimes, they call it the low budget sakura tree and they will both share the laughter.

Rain sigh as he reminisce the memories in that street. He can clearly see his father with a boy under the tree. Sharing snacks and having fun. He's not used to see himself laughing but he couldn't help but to feel happiness, he smiled.

Although smiling, he can feel his eyes watering, his cheeks begun to feel the tears he can't stop. Why is he crying? And why is he smiling at the same time? He asked himself why, is he being crazy? He swiped dry his tears but it keeps falling.

He just suddenly felt in his skin the light touches of grains of water coming from the sky.

He knew his father won't let him cry alone. He again smiled but this time, it was because of full happiness. He can feel his father through the rain. Hugging him. It was like he never left his son.

He looked up and let his face be wet by the tears of the sky.

The light post is almost covered by the gloomy leaves of the fake sakura. Making a magical effect to his eyes seeing this.

"Salamat papa" he whispered.

Rain,

Kanina pa ako parang tanga na nagmumuni muni dito sa ilalim ng fake sakura namin ni papa. Hindi ko alam pero halos bente minuto na akong nakatayo dito. Parang may kung ano na ispiritu na pumipigil sa akin na umalis at sinasabing dito muna ako at titigan ang naoakagandang mga bulaklak ng puno.

Parang naging araw ang poste ng ilaw at ulap naman ang mga dahol at bulaklak ng sanga dahil halos tinatakpan na nito ang ilaw na para pang araw na nagtatago sa mga ulap.

Ang ganda titigan lalo pa na umaambon ambon.

Tuluyan ko nang binaba yung hawak kong payong, minsan nakaka-miss din na magpabasa sa ulan. Pinikit kong muli ang mga mata ko.

Ang drama ko amp*ta.

Tama na nga 'to, baka maiyak pa ako sa kaartehan na 'to. Minulat ko yung mga mata ko at nagulat ako sa demonyong nasa harapan ko.

Di ko alam na may side effect pala ang amoy ng dahon ng fake sakura kaya siguro kung ano ano ang nakikita ko, hinayaan ko nalang ito at tumalikod na.

"Rain"

Nilingon ko si Lucas, tinignan ko ito mula paa hanggang ulo, totoo siya.

"Bakit ka nandito?" Mataray na tanong ko.

"Hi" tinaas niya yung palad niya ng onti, at parang nahihiya na tumingin sa akin.

"Anong hi? Lutang ka ba? Muntik mo na akong oatayin kanina ah!" Inis na turan ko.

"S-sorry, i didn't mean to" Nakakainis yung mukha niya na nagpapacute psh.. di naman cute.

"Sorry ka dyan, bahala ka nga dyan!"
Aalis na sana ako nang pigilan niya ako.

"Wait"

"Ano?"

"I-i need you help"

"Ayoko, baka modus yan, mamatay pa ako"

"No, no it's not a a modus, ano.. A-ano kasi"

"Ano ba? Muka kang tanga nauutal utal pa, Dyan ka na nga!"

"Na-flatan kasi ako"

"Ano? Flat ka?"

"No, y-yung ko-kotse ko na ano, na flat"

"Ahh, lakasan mo kasi! Utal utal ka na nga bulong ka pa ng bulong"

"..."

"....."

Katahimikan.

Ang awkward ni Lucas bakit ganun. nakakirita

"Tss alis nako"

"Wait tulungan mo muna ako"

"Arghh! nakakainis  ka! Bitiwan mo ako! Anong tulong ba gusto mo? Di naman tayo close, feeling ka! uuwi na ako"

Yumuko siya

"Gusto mo ba ihipan ko yung gulong ng kotse mo? Tss bitaw!"
