Chapter 3 - Foretold By The Stars

"So.."

We spoke in unison, still staring at each other.

"Uhm.. Sorry?" I hesitantly apologized. Para akong naging statwa I couldn't move a tiny bit of a muscle.

He smiled. "You're forgiven."

"Uhm okay? You can let go now?" I gave him an awkward smile in return. The noise coming the loud city was faded, touching his skin against mine was electrifying, I don't know for some reason I got chills from which I couldn't understand why.

"uh.. yeah! Right!" he didn't realized he still holding my wrist as he stared at me. "Ehem" he cleared his throat. His gazed went somewhere else pretending that nothing happened.

I stepped back, I was about to walk away from this embarrassment then suddenly, umulan ng pagkalakas-lakas. Everyone in the area runs para humanap ng masisilungan. Pupunta na dapat ako sa may store lane from the side street para makisilong pero puno nang mga tao. No choice I had to run from the underpass 15 meters away from where I was standing.

Voilà! Pagpasok ko my childhood memories came back. Tumambad saakin yung lumang train station. It is what it is, gaya parin siya ng dati 12 years ago the way I remembered it to be, wala man lang upgrade mas lalo pa atang na downgrade yung itsura nito. Nagpunas ako ng katawan since medyo nabasa ako, then after that I bought a ticket 'di ko nga alam kung saan 'to papunta. I wondered why the train still functional at its state. Salamat Anthony Celestial at sa mga nakaupong posisyon.

Habang lumalakas yung ulan mas lalong dumadami yung mga tao to the point na nagkakatulakan na. A high school teenager unintentionally pushed me dahil sa mga nagtutulakan sa unahan, dahilan para may mabangga din ako.

And then sh*t happened. The guy I just bumped into was the guy I'd encountered earlier. Nakasabit sa right side shoulder niya yung dark green niyang backpack, he was hugging his guitar with his wet look hair, he had this messy black hair that made me gulped in astonishment. He then wiped his hair using the beanie hat he wore a while ago. Goddamnit! ano bang iniisip ko? Am I being amazed by this guy? No way!

He looked at me the way we looked at each other earlier. Sa dami ng taong nandito siya pa talaga nakabangga ko?

"I'm sorry" this time I sound sincere. I met his gaze, his deep black eyes was literally eye catching but I didn't looked at it too obviously, he might think that his charm captivated me.

"You're forgiven!" he smiled "again" then he chuckled biting his lower lip as he caressed his chin issuing me a shy response.

I looked down trying to avoid his gazed. Bigla siyang tumabi siya sakin, ayokong lumingon sa kanya but I just can't help it. His jawline was quite vivid from these angle.

"Taga rito ka?" he asked, not looking at me. I think this guy is bad news, what's his deal?

I paused for a moment "Uhm oo? ata?"

He nods awkwardly. "Ah ata?"

A loud sound from the train emits a disturbing sound as it came, sign na papalapit na sa amin. Sobrang lakas ng tunog, it's the only sound we heard as it passed through us. He looked ahead from the train, he tried to fix his messy hair which doesn't even make of a difference.

As soon as the train opened the door, isa-isa nang pumasok ang mga tao sa paligid namin. Hindi ako umalis sa kinakatayuan ko, hinintay ko muna siyang unang pumasok. It gets really awkward when I get close to him, hindi ako makakilos ng matino. Unfortunately, he never moved an inched as if he's waiting for me to get in first.
