Every Sunset was Once a Sunrise

8 : Calm and easy

Bandang alas nuwebe nang maalimpungatan ako mula sa pag-idlip. The bus was dead silent and it seems like everyone is asleep. Maging ang katabi kong si Mon ay bulagta sa neck pillow niya.

I put on my earphone as I read Raf's messages.

RaFiend:

You asleep?

Guess you are. Sleep well, sleepy head

We get passed your bus. I saw you. Di ka ba nakalunok ng insekto? Tuloy laway ka pa eh hahaha

Namimilog ang mga matang nasapo ko ng wala sa oras ang bibig at kinapa ang gilid nito, para hanapin ang ebidensya ng akusasyon niya. I even fumbled using my phone's front cam to check for a drool. Nakahinga lamang ako nang maluwag nang makumpirmang wala akong ganoon. Ngunit nang makabawi ay nanggagalaiti akong nagtipa ng reply sa kaniya.

You:

I don't drool. A fiend like yourself might thou

Kabababa ko pa lamang ng cellphone sa kandungan ay nag-notif na kaagad ang reply niya.

RaFiend:

Hahaha the princess has finally awoken!

What you up to?

You:

Musictripping. You?

RaFiend:

Same

Wanna play a game?

You:

Game? Like what?

RaFiend:

Today's Feb fifteen so go to your music app and play the fifteenth song starting from the B's. I'll do the same then we both tell each other what song it is when it's finished. Game?

You:

On it

Ginawa ko ang sinabi niya at pinakinggan ang kanta habang nakadungaw sa bintana ng bus. I was feeling silly for smiling with myself the whole time the song is at play. I was curious what song his are playing. Kaya't nang matapos ang kantang pinapakinggan ay agad akong nagtipa ng mensahe sa kaniya.

You:

Be your everything - boys like girls

Yours?

RaFiend:

Be with you - this wild life

The song isn't familiar to me so I searched it. At habang pinakikinggan ko ito'y binasa ko ang isa pang reply niya.

RaFiend:

Damn. Your song is in my fourteenth B's. Haha muntik na

You:

You have a blg song too?

RaFiend:
