My eyes shifted towards Luna. I saw that she was in deep thoughts while her sight was on the wall. I opened my mouth and called her name. But to no avail, her response was none. Somehow, she was deeply attracted to the wall that she couldn't speak to me anymore. Ano bang interesting diyan? It's just a white wall.
Because of her non-responsive state, I put my finger up and lightly touched her skin. I was hoping at that moment that she would notice me now or even put out a word to me. To which my luck is, she did. She did finally noticed me now.
"Bakit?" Was her only response when she looked at me. Her eyes held question while looking into my eyes that is shouting help from her. Hanggang ngayon, parehas pa rin ang mukha ni Luna. To think, that we aged and years had passed.
There's a drastic change in Luna's personality too. Her appearance didn't age but her attitude did. Back when I met her, she's that person who seems so soft and a good-hearted person. The type of person you will spend with and you will just see cotton and a beautiful silk. A cotton and a silk that you never would trade anything of.
But now, some of that changed. She still has a part, though, you know, being soft. It just added some humour and all that stuff that she hasn't had before. It was heavily influenced by me. Yes, I'm proud to say that because that paved the way for her now. Her not being socially awkward and her learning how to stand up for herself.
She still has her old self. So I didn't change everything about her. That's okay, though. I didn't want her to change. My goal isn't me turning her into someone else. My goal is to help her to evolve to what she's capable of. Because if you really loves someone, you wouldn't turn them into someone you wanted. Turn them into their full potential or help them change for the better.
While I was helping her change for the better, she was doing that to me too. She was helping me more knowledgeable about things here in this country. I was learning things that I have never been taught. Sure, some of it was taught in school, but hey, it's not my fault I fell asleep. Just kidding!
Because Luna swayed me about everything in here, I forgot to bug my Dad every second to go home. You know, home. Italy and all that. But I forgot all those things now. Because I was appreciating more and more of the things that I didn't before. I was looking into things with beauty, even the smallest ones. I've grown into looking things that way now.
Besides, just like Luna says to me 'life is short, Anne' to which follows the sentences, 'dapat alam mong pahalagaan ang lahat ng bagay, kahit 'yung mga maliit lamang, kasi malay mo, sa susunod, hindi mo na 'yan magagawa muli'. It made me look at Luna more differently when she said those words to me. That's the reason why I stayed here in the Philippines for more years. Hopefully, more years to stay.
When I didn't answer her question of why, she got back to her book. What's interesting about that book, anyway? It's just all about love and things. All of that doesn't matter! Speaking of love... I think Luna... here is in love. Maybe that's the reason why she's reading all this novel romance.
Anyway, the name is Alex. Basic name but good looking guy. Just your typical guy that you will read at the books. Nice jaw, good hair, beautiful eyes, narrow nose and handsome face structure. I might say, that him and Luna would make a great couple. They could be the moon and the skies. All that bullcrap about love, ya' know.
While I was staring at Luna, my mind was going to some places. Like how I can be the cupid of their love story or maybe I could be the one to let them talk and end up being together. Imagine me being cupid to both of them! Oh my gosh! The story that will be talked here and everywhere. When they will be looking back at that moment and say 'it's because of Anne being the cupid' or 'Anne, the greatest cupid had to lead us to the greatest love story ever'. Oh my gosh, think about that!
