At dahil medyo nakainom na kaming dalawa ni Agnes, nagdecide kaming dumaan muna sa isang coffee shop. Wala na masyadong tao kasi late na, pero sobrang natuwa ako nung pagpasok namin kasi the air was warm and it felt nice.
Agnes was flushed from the alcohol and medyo mapungay na yung mga mata niya pero ngiting-ngiti pa rin siya sa 'kin. She told me about how she dropped out of school but she decided to pursue a different course na related na sa music. Pero di ko na natanong kung saan. Habang nagkukwento siya, I can't help but think na andami na rin talagang pinagdaanan ni Agnes sa buhay. And now that we're here, I get to see a glimpse of who Agnes really is. And now that I get to know her a bit more, I just can't help but fall for her even more.
After namin magkape, nung medyo feeling ko sober naman na siya, nag-aya na rin ako sa kanya na umuwi na. After all, malapit na rin mag-midnight and maaga pa kami gigising para sa simbang gabi. Baka naman kasi kung kelan patapos na dun ko pa hindi matuloy.
Narealize ko tuloy na wala pa nga pala akong wish. But I guess, halos lahat naman kasi natupad na rin para sa 'kin so I'm not entirely sure kung ano pa hihilingin ko. I was surprised nung biglang nilagay ni Agnes yung kamay niya sa batok ko and gave it a light massage. I smiled at her.
"Pagod ka na?"she asked. Umiling ako. Matapos lahat ng nangyari ngayong gabi, I'm not entirely sure what to feel anymore. All I know is I'm happy.
When I looked at Agnes as she smiled toothlessly and while she's listening to the music, and how her tired eyes made me want to just hug her, I finally realized what my wish is:
To be with her.
