As Cold as the Night

Ham Montalba has always been so high gaya ng buwan sa gabing madilim at malamig. Magandang pangarapin pero mahirap abutin. Polka is very much aware of that. Kaya gaano man katindi ang nararamdamang pagkagusto, tanggap niyang ang mapansin nito, and much more, him reciprocating her intense feelings, will only exist in her hopeless daydreams-pero hindi man lang ba siya susubok at magbabaka sakali? Na ipaalam dito na siya ay naghihintay at umaasang malalaman niya? Will she just stand and adore him from afar just like how she looks up to the moon in the night sky?

Driven by her young heart and young love, Polka took the flight to Manila, leaving her hometown. Hindi man ngayon agad o bukas, baka balang araw mapagbibigyan din ang puso niya. Ngunit nang sa wakas ay mapalapit dito, saka niya naman naramdaman ang napakalayong agwat sa pagitan nila, saka mas naging mahirap pangarapin ito, saka naging imposibleng mahalin din siya nito. Mali pala siya ng inakala. He is not just the moon, he is an entire galaxy she couldn't fathom. She can spend her entire life reading him but still will never be enough.

Magpapatuloy pa ba siya kung halos balutin na ng lamig ang puso niya sa sakit at pagkabigo? He is just too cold-like a night so black and chilly that makes you shiver and hate the night.
