"hi, can we be friends"?
"If you want pwede ring lovers," sabay taas ng dalawang kilay.
That was the first line I've heard from you. We're not close since then, so nagtataka ako Kung bakit mo ako kinakausap. Sa halip na sagutin ka ay muli ko na lang ibinaling ang aking tingin sa libro. Nandito ako ngayon sa library and Hindi ko inaasahang nandito ka rin dahil di mo naman ugaling tumamabay dito. I know that you're a Playboy dahil sikat ka sa school with different girls. Araw-araw ka yatang may kalandian. Yes, I know, you are a good-looking guy, that every girl would wanted to be with. You have tantalizing eyes, pointed nose, and kissable lips, you are so damn attractive to the point that every girl would fall for your mesmerizing charm. Aside from your looks, mayaman ka rin, basketball player, singer, and pambato ka rin sa mga contest. In short, you are perfectly imperfect. You have everything while I have nothing. I'm just a typical nerd, may salamin, losyang manamit, buhaghag Ang buhok at higit sa lahat, MAHIRAP. But of course, matalino. That's the only one thing I can be proud of. Dahil sa scholarship kaya ako nakapag-aral sa isang unibersidad. I'm a loner, and I'm used to it. I make a barrier between me and judgemental society. I don't want any commitments, I always isolate myself from those person who try to reach me out. Napansin mo atang di kita pinapansin so you lean closer to me. Unlike the other girls, I didn't feel any butterfly-in-my-stom­­­ach, I just got annoyed by your presence. So, I shoot a deathly glare directly to your eyes, but it didn't intimidate you. Waepek. You just smirk and whisper "You'll eventually fall in love with me someday, mark my word." I just mimicked you. Nagsalubong Ang kilay mo sa ginawa ko. I'm a silent person pero di ko kinaya ang hangin sa katawan mo. 'Ako maiinlove sayo? No way' I said at the back of my head. You just stare at me for the whole time na nagbabasa ako ng libro. "Hindi ka ba nauumay na libro palagi mong kasama"? You ask. I glance at you for the meantime. "Wala kang pake, get a life" I know that I'm too harsh that time, you can't blame me, I'm just protecting myself from those who tries to break the wall around me. I suddenly got irritated by your presence so I walk away and left you dumbfounded. Dapat Lang sayo yun, masyado ka kasing feeling close. But you didn't stop sa panggugulo sa buhay ko. Kinabukasan bigla Kang lumapit sa akin. Our classmates got shocked kasi never mo naman akong nilapitan. Then you announced that starting from that day you will court me. Gulat na gulat sila, syempre pati ako. I did not expect that it will come out from your mouth. I'm a calm person, sinabi ko na mag-usap tayo, you followed me. I beg you to stop sa Kung ano man Ang plano mo. Wala akong makitang dahilan para magustuhan mo, Wala Kang makukuha sa akin. Sinabi ko na tigilan mo na Ang kahibangan at kalokohan mo. Pero Hindi ka nagpatinag. You explained your side. You said that you are serious. You told me to give you a chance to prove that you really like me, me as myself. I didn't believe you. But you insisted na itutuloy mo Ang panliligaw sa akin, at Wala akong magagawa. Ang kulit kulit mo kaya 'bahala ka sa buhay mo' Ang tanging sagot ko. That day pass and the other too. Pero Hindi ka na nagparamdam pa after that scene. So I thought that you're just pulling some pranks on me. I'm used to it, na palaging lokohin at saktan. So wapakels lang ako. Not until one day, may roses sa upuan ko, sa may arm chair ko at may nakalagay na spaghetti at sticky note. Eat well. Hope you like it.
From your suitor. Yan yung nakalagay. I didn't notice that I was smiling from ear to ear that time. Ngayon lang may gumawa sa akin ng ganun. Kinilig ako ng very very slight lang haha. I know it was from you. After our class, diretso na agad ako palabas ng gate. But to my shock, you were there waiting for me. "Tara hatid na kita," sabi mo. Hindi ako pumayag but you insisted. But matigas pa ako sa bato kaya hindi mo ako napapayag
Ang ending umuwi akong mag-isa, as usual. While I was on my way home. Nagulat ako ng may bumusina kahit nasa gilid naman ako. Ikaw pala, with your BMW car. "Hi there, Ms. Beautiful. See you tomorrow." Bago pa man ako makaimik pinaharurot mo na ang kotse mo. Napairap na lang ako sa hangin.
"Ate, may naghahanap sayo" bungad sa akin ng kapatid ko. Nagtaka ako kasi wala namang bumibisita sa akin, at ganun pa kaaga. Sumilip ako sa siwang ng pinto and to my surprise ikaw yun. Kausap mo ang nanay at tatay ko. Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko that time. But the only solution ay ang lumabas lang sa nag-iisang kwarto namin. "O, anak, di mo naman sinabing may nanliligaw pala sayong pogi" sabi ni mama. Hindi ko Alam kung anong gagawin ko. Para akong natataeng ewan. You joined us sa pagkain. Hindi ka pala maarte, kinain mo yung tuyo at alamang na ulam namin that time. Natawa ako sa itsura mo nung kumain ka ng alamang, ang dami mo kasing sinubo, di mo pala alam na maalat yun. Rich kid problems haha. Nagpa-impress ka lang ata. You told to my parents na Sabay na tayong papasok. Hindi ko alam kung anong ginawa mo to got my parents trust that easily. Simula noon, hatid-sundo mo na ako. Palagi ka rin sa bahay. May dalang pagkain at pagsasaluhan natin. Hindi na rin kita nakitang may kasama pang ibang Babae bukod sa akin. Sabay tayong kumakain pag lunch time. You made me laugh and realized that I'm not alone. You always pulled some corny lines just to make me laugh. You accept me for being me when in fact I cannot accept myself. You stay by my side in the midst of worries and disappointment. You treated me like a porcelain when everybody thrown me away like a piece of trash. You are my knight and I am your queen. You treat me the way I wanted to be treated. You break the barrier that surrounds me. Feeling ko nakalabas na ako sa hawla na itinayo ko mula pa pagkabata. That's when I realize that I already fall in love with you. May gayuma ka ata. You bewitch me through your eyes
Fascinate me through your lips
Allured me through your lips. You captivated me and I can't uncaptivate myself. Your presence seems to lingered on me the whole time. Your enticing voice always filled my ears. Your love forbids me to hate myself. But of course there's a lot of hypocrite people around us. Hindi mawawala yung mga mapanghusga nilang tingin tuwing magkasama tayo. Andiyan yung papatidin nila ako, then tatapakan yung mga best friend Kong libro. Nagbabasa ata ng wattpadd (kahit wala pang wattpad nung time na yun) yung mga yun kaya Hindi nauubusan ng gagawing pagpapahirap sa akin. You know, a bunch of ideas kapag nagbabasa ka haha. But then, nagagawa lang nila yun kapag 'di kita kasama. You are my knight in shining armor. My protector and shield. Kapag andyan ka para silang maaamong tuta, ay tupa pala. Pero pag wala ka para silang mga demonyo na nakawala sa hawla, ang wild eh. Meron ding makakapal ang feslak, they call me bitch, gold digger, slut, whore etc., in front of you. Syempre, galit na galit ka naman. But I'll just interwined our fingers to make you calm and whisper 'date tayo'. Alam ko kung paano ka magalit kaya inuunahan ko na. Ayaw Kong makipagbasag-ulo ka sa mga taong makikitid ang utak. Then one day, the most unforgettable experience happens to my life. You prepared something unforgettable. Nagulat ako kasi walang katao-tao sa bahay nung umuwi ako. I opened the room, and you were there. All of you, Si mama, papa, at mga kapatid ko. You shouted 'happy birthday' in unison. I cannot describe how happy I am. Our room was filled with flowers. May cake and foods na favorite ko. I was surprise by your gift. An explosion box. Hindi ko alam na maglalaan ka ng ganun effort para sa akin. Puro stolen pics ko pala yun haha.. Kung di ka lang gwapo, mapagkakamalan talaga kitang stalker eh. That day we became official. I'm officially yours, and you're officially mine. I gave my sweetest 'yes' that you waited for almost 8 months. Ako na yata ang pinakamasayang Babae sa buong mundo. I experience many first time with you. And yes , i admit. Bumigay ako sa temptation. I gave my virginity without any hesitation. That time, I saw your eyes, full of love and a glimpse of desire and lust. I never regretted what happen. Hindi ako nanghihinayang na sayo ko ibinigay yun. . We made a promise to each other, we will fight until last. I realize that you are the one that I will surely hold on forever. I Imagine my future with you, together with our kids, building happy memories that will never lasts. I love you and you love me, that's all I know. But every relationship comes to an end. Sadya nga talagang mapaglaro ang tadhana.
Isang linggo... Isang linggo ka nang walang paramdam. Ni "hi" ni "hoy" as in wala talaga. I always checked my phone kung tumawg ka or nag text na pero wala talaga. Naka-ilang text and miss calls na rin ako but I just got nothing from you. No response. I even ask your friends kung nasaan ka na ba, pero wala naman silang maisagot na matino, puro lang sila 'Hindi ko alam'. I know they were hiding something related from you, pero di lang sila sinasabi. Ayaw kong paghinalaan ka, dahil malaki ang TIWALA ko sayo. Even my existing guts told me that you were doing some shits. Until one day, may lumapit sa aking, a group of girls. Sila yung laging nangpapatid sa akin.
"Oh, hi there, slut, do you wanna know where's your boyfriend?" Ayaw ko sanang makinig sa kanila dahil alam kong sisirain lang nila tayo, pero parang may nagtutulak sa akin na pakinggan sila. "Pinagpustahan ka lang nila, di ka talaga niya mahal"
Para akong nabingi. I run. I run as fast as I can then I bump into someone. It was your best friend. I need confirmation, so I ask him kung totoo bang pinagpustahan lang nila ako. He answered me honestly, dahan-dahan siyang tumango. Before he can explained anything tumakbo na ulit ako. Ang sakit-sakit. Patuloy na pumapatak ang luha sa mata ko, I never imagined for this scenario. I almost loose my sanity for Pete's sake. Umuwi akong umiiyak, sinalubong ako ni mama then she hugged me tight. Sinabi ko lahat ng nangyari, galit na galit si papa. That was the worst but become the best day of my life when I found out that I'm pregnant. Ang daming kaganapan sa araw na yun. My family decided na doon na ako mag-aaral sa province. Malayo sayo, malayo sa kabihasnan. And in just three days we migrated to our province, since Isang semester na lang naman at ga-graduate na ako. I cut all the ties between us. Mahirap pa ang communication nun, keypad pa lang ang mga cellphones. (Wala pang signal sa province) kaya we're very sure na di mo na kami mahahanap, yes I decided to live my life without you, without hearing your explanation, nag move-on ako kahit walang closure. Nanganak ako at lumaki siya ng wala ka. I named him sky, he's a boy at kamukhang-kamukha mo siya, ganitong ganito ang itsura mo sa mga baby pictures mo. Hindi nga maipagkakailang magtatay kayo. Parang pinagbiyak na bunga. Hindi kita ipinagdamot sa kaniya. Ipinakilala kita as his father. Hindi kita siniraan, I told him na nasa malayo ka lang. When he turned 4 years old, bumalik kami sa Manila, mas maganda kasi ang facilitate ng mga school, tamang-tama para sa kinabukasan niya. On his fourth birthday, namasyal kami sa MOA. Nilibot ko siya sa planetarium, sa may playgrounds, etc. Kumain kami sa Restaurant, and he made his wish. I promised him that I will grant his wish. Pero paano? "Sana, makita ko na si daddy" he said while smiling innocently. Tumulo ang luha ko dahil Hindi ko kayang ibigay ang nag-iisang wish ng anak ko. Pero may pangyayari pa lang magpapabago ng lahat. We went on National bookstore para bumili ng gamit niya sa pasukan. Sobrang daming tao nung time na yun. While chosing some notebooks for my son, I noticed na wala na siya sa tabi ko. My heart is pounding loudly. God, nawawala ang anak ko. My tears started to fall. Oh God, I just can't lost him. Sinimulan ko siyang hanapin and itanong sa mga tao, only to found out that nasa hilera lang siya ng mga books, talking to a man. Hindi ko makita kung sinong kausap niya dahil nakatalikod ito sa akin. Nabaling ang tingin ng anak ko sa akin, then he run towards me, I hugged him tight. Pero ang mga salitang lumabas sa kanyang bibig ay ikinagimbal ng sistema ko. "Mommy, I already found daddy" he said while smiling widely. I diverted my gaze to the guy whom my son was talking to earlier. Para akong malalagutan ng hininga ng makita ko siya. It was you. The man I used to love before. I carried my son and we run . Pero naabutan mo kami. Hinila mo ako pabalik then you hug me together with our son. God, I miss you so much. Walang umimik sa atin after that, pero Hindi mo na ako pinakawalan pa. You drive as home. Hindi na ako nagpumiglas pa dahil alam ko sa sarili ko na kailangan nating maliwanagan. I prepared dinner for the three of us. Nilagay ko na rin yung cake na binili mo para Kay sky. My son. Ngayon ko lang siya nakitang ganyan kasaya habang kalaro ka. "Baby, did you miss me?" You asked.
" yes daddy, I've been longing for you for so long." Na-touch ako sa sinabi ng anak ko. Ganon pala siya kasabik sa pagmamahal ng Isang ama. Tinawag ko na kayo para kumain na. You were staring at me intently, hindi tuloy ako makakain ng maayos. "Baby, blow your candle na then make a wish," sabi ko Kay sky para maalis yung awkward na atmosphere. "Mommy, I won't ask for anything na, because daddy's here na. We are happy family. Daddy, mommy, and me. I love you both" I smiled at him genuinely, masaya ako para sa anak ko. But I can't promise him anything, hindi ko alam kung anong mangyayari pagkatapos nito. Inasikaso mo na siya pagkatapos kumain, then pinatulog.
"Let's talk" you said with full of authority using your cold voice.
"Explain" you comanded
In-explain ko yung side ko, why did I left. Lahat ng nangyari sa akin. And now its your turn.
"I won't deny na pinagpustahan ka nga namin, pero sana hindi ka umalis ng ganun ganun lang. I did love you, kaya ako pumayag sa pustahan dahil its my chance to get closer to you, so I grab it. Bakla man pakinggan, pero crush na kita noong una pa lang. Na love at first sight ako. Pero ang kilalang playboy sa campus natotorpe pala pagdating sayo.
Pinapangunahan ako ng kaba sa tuwing naka-ipon na ako ng lakas para lapitan ka. I always got intimidated by your aura. Akala ko Hindi mo ako magugustuhan, dahil matino ang gusto mo, while gago ako. I grab that opportunity para malapitan ka. I'm sorry for that, alam kong may kasalanan ako. And that one week of missing, I was preparing for our 1st Anniversary. I planned to surprise you, but to my surprise ako pa pala ang nasurprise ng nalaman kong you left me and lead me to nowhere. Gusto kong magalit sayo pero di ko magawa, dahil mahal kita." He explained clearly. I was so shocked that it was the real reason behind that. It was a little misunderstanding but because of lack of communication umabot pa ito ng 5 years. Para akong nabunutan ng tinik sa mga narinig ko. Yung bigat na dala-dala ko sa araw-araw ay biglang nawala. Lumambot ang puso ko and I cried not because of pain nor sadness, but because of overflowing joy and happiness.
"Tell me, do you still love me?" You ask.
I said 'yes'.yung kaninang walang ekspresyon mong mukha ay napalitan ng saya. You hugged me and kissed me torridly. I never thought that it would be an happy ending. And just like that we live happily ever after with our little angel- sky. Habang tinatype ko ito, naghaharutan naman yung mag-ama ko. We're happily married now, madadagdagan na kami ng isa pang little angel. Sana Babae siya..
