"Pasalamat ka maganda ka.."
I looked away from the painting I was looking and saw him looking at me. I raised a brow. Seriously? What is his problem at ayaw niya akong lubayan?!
"Eh what if kung panget ako?!"pataray kong tanong sabay taas ng kilay.
Naooffend ako doon ah, ano kung panget ako, papatulan niya ako at gagantihan? Psh.
"Edi gusto pa rin kita"
I was stunned of what he said. Bumilis nanaman yung tibok ng puso ko habang nakatingin sakanya ng deretso.
Did he just confess?
He suddenly walked towards me, gusto kong umalis sa kinatatayuan ko pero ayaw gumalaw ng katawan ko. Papalapit na siya ng papalapit saakin kaya napapikit ako ng mairin nang biglang maramdaman ko yung hininga niya na malapit na sa tenga ko.
"Kinilig ka naman" he said and I can almost hear his smile.
Dumilat ako at nakitang nakangiti na nga siya ng nakakaloko habang tinitignan ako.
I looked at him with a disgust face, "Tsss"
Naglakad na ako palayo sakanya at naramdaman ko naman na sinusundan niya pa rin ako. So I stopped and turned around to glare at him, but he just smiled at me. What the hell is his problem?
Pinuntahan ko na si Mackey, who is now looking at a painting of a child. Nagulat naman siya nung bigla kong pinalupot yung braso ko sa braso niya.
"Akala ko kung sino!" Gulat niyang sabi pero tumingin ulit dun sa painting na tinitignan niya kanina, "Anyway, look oh! Ang cute. Yung baby natutulog"
Yeah, it's cute but at the same time creepy. Bakit ganun natutulog yung bata? At may mga bulaklak pa sa gilid niya. What the? Something is off of this portrait.
"Recuerdo De Patay, Memento Mori, of a Child by Simón Flores Y De La Rosa" napatingin kami kay Caleb na kakarating lang ngayon.
Wait, patay? Napatingin ulit ako sa painting, "Oh shit. That child is dead?"
"Hala? Weh?" Tinignan din ni Mackey yun ng maigi, "Hala, oo nga! Nakakakilabot, cute na cute pa naman ako dito kanina tapos patay na pala siya?"
Natawa naman si Caleb doon, paano ba naman yung facial expression kasi ni Mackey na para siyang kinilabutan na ewan.
"Siguro kaya niya 'toh pininta dahil namiss niya bigla yung nayumao niyang anak," Mackey said while sadly looked at painting.
"Baka or maybe it represents something deep. Like how someone, who died, should not be forgotten even if they merely exist in our life"
