DISGUISE US

KABANATA 8

"Okay ka lang, Raffy?"

Napalingon naman ako kay Jiselle. Nandito kami ngayon sa garden sa orphanage dahil wala akong kasama sa bahay at dahil nakaduty din sila.

"I don't know Jiss."

"Why?"

"Is it okay if a guy was just like you but he love someone else?"

"It's okay if he likes you as a friend because he already had a lover."

"ohh, maybe, I just failed this because he already had one."

"Are you talking about Valmor?"

"I guess so."

"ohh, but it seems that he kinda like you."

"Yeah. He told me weeks ago that he likes me but he already love someone else."

"So, why are you look upset now?"

"Do I really need to make him fall for me?"

"What do you think?"

"I can't. I can't fool him who already in love with someone."

"If that is what you think then, do something that wouldn't fired back to you. Afterall, everyone is already appreciate your efforts as Rafeilah Zente."

"Jiselle, Raffy, nandito lang pala kayo. Lunch time na. Kain tayo." masiglang sambit ni Sam.

"Lunch time na pala, hindi ko napansin hahaha." natatawang sambit ni Jiselle at bumaling sa akin, "Tara Raffybabe!"

Matapos ang lunchtime ay magkaroon ng urgent meeting sila Sister Maria at mga kaibigan ko kaya nagpaalam akong tumambay sa garden habang hawak ang DSLR ko.

Lumapit naman si Hazel sa akin, siya ang isang batang may tic disorder. Hawak niya ang isang pulang rosas at iniabot sa akin iyon, "I love you ate." aniya pa.

"Aww, thank you Hazel and I love you too!" at ngumiti sa kanya.

At bigla naman siyang umalis doon.

She kinda sweet kiddo.

May mabuting dulot din pala ang pagtanggap ko dito sa social experiment dahil iwas ako sa stress sa trabaho. Tutal ako lang naman ang mag-isa at for sure wala namam sigurong makakarinig sa akin hehehe.

When I look at you, I see forgiveness
I see the truth
You love me for who I am
Like the stars hold the moon
Right there where they belong
And I know I'm not alone

Who would be accept me as Raffy? Who would be love me for who I am?
Who would be that person?

Yeah, when my world is falling apart
When there's no light to break up the dark
That's when I, I
I look at you

I just can't fool him by disguising as another person who never exist. But like Jiselle said earlier, I will do something for this.

When the waves
Are flooding the shore and I can't
Find my way home anymore
That's when I, I
I look at you…

Why do I imagine him while I'm singing this? Am I insane?

-ring-ring-ring-
"Ugh! So early! Who's this?" iritang sambit ko sa selpon ko.

"Babe, do I wake you up?"

"Who are you? And don't call me 'babe'!"

I heard him laughing.
