South Orwell Series #1
Geometry Metro, a semi-stone-hearted dude, wanted to make Saturday Sundays happy with someone else, even if it wasn't him. That's why he tried to get rid of someone but didn't expect to slip from the rope of strong f...

"Do you still remember the question you asked me long time ago?" he softly whispered while we're dancing to the remix version of Lover in the middle of our reception hall.
"Alin doon? Marami 'yun," bulong ko pabalik at binaon ang mukha ko sa leeg niya.
"Life as a movie," bulong niya ulit at niyakap ang beywang ko habang pinatuloy ang pagsayaw. Napaisip ako saglit hanggang sa agad kong naalala ang tanong ko noon.
"Have you ever asked yourself if what our lives will be if it's a movie?" I asked him again, but a bit uncertain of the exact words but I think, those were the exact words I asked him.
"Yes."
Unti-unti akong napahiwalay para makaharap siya. He's looking at me and he really looks so good with his tuxedo. Pero bago pa ako madistract ay napansin kong nag-iba ang sagot niya mula dati.
"I didn't like the ending first and this..." He pointed where we are right now, at our wedding reception. Our family, friends and colleagues were with us and witnessing our first dance as husband and wife. "... this is our sequel," he added.
Napangiti ako dahil sumang-ayon ako sa sinabi niya. Dahan-dahan niya akong nilapit sa kanya at may binulong, "Let's make it the biggest blockbuster movie ever."
Mahina akong natawa niyakap siya habang tinititigan ang wedding ring namin.
"SANA ALL!" sigaw naman ni Venn sa kalayuan at nagpatunog ng wineglass. Hinanap namin si Venn kaso biglang gumaya sila Dom na nagpatunog ng glass. "Kiss! Kiss!" sigaw nila hanggang sa halos lahat ng andoon ay nagpatunog na ng kanya-kanyang baso.
Mahina akong natawa at nahuli ko nang nakatingin sa akin si Geo. Pinagmamasdan niya ang mukha ko hanggang sa napangiti kaming dalawa bago niya nilapit ang mukha niya sa akin para bigyan ako ng halik.
"I love you," bulong niya nang humarap ulit kami sa isa't isa.
"I love you," bulong ko pabalik.
Malapit nang matapos ang kanta kaya biglang may pumasok sa isipan ko. "Geo."
"Hmmm?"
"If I'm the one who's ruining someone's lovelife back then and you're the also ruining my lovelife back then..." I paused, trying to compose myself for my point.
"... who can ruin ours?" I asked him.
"I don't know..." he answered while thinking a possible answer.
"... probably death?" he answered unsurely as the music ended.
How did I never think of that?

"Tiwala lang, Style. Gigising din si Geo," pagpapagaan sa akin ni Saturday habang naglalakad kami pabalik sa room ni Geo sa ospital. Napapahaplos na lang ako sa tatlong buwan kong tiyan. Maliit pa lang ang umbok pero ramdam ko na talagang magkakaanak na kami dahil sa trato nila sa akin. Para ba akong babasagin na vase na may napakagandang bulaklak sa loob.
