Missing Pieces of Memories (COMPLETED)

Chapter 9

Joke

"Don't assume that I have a feelings for you, Zam. Everyone are having a dream like that, but it doesn't mean that's true. Sadiyang nakakaloka lang talaga ang managinip."

"That will be also possible, Avyl. Based on the research, if someone dreaming about that, you have an hidden desire to the person you are dreaming about," he still teasing me.

"At based naman sa pagkaka-alam ko. If you dreaming someone on your dream, they also thinking about you. Ganoon ang sabi ng ibang mga expertise..., " I said and couldn't help but to rolled my eyes on him.

He still smiling at umiiling na.

"So, hindi ka naniniwala? Pero iyon ang pinaniniwalaan ko. So, baka naman iniisip mo 'ko palagi kaya palagi ka ring nasa panaginip ko," I said and smirked at him.

He chuckled softly and give me a melting looked.

"If I said yes. What will you do? It's true, Avyl. You aren't missing on my mind everyday...," he said now in a serious voice.

Bigla naman akong napalunok at binalingan ang kinakain ko.

Shit lang talaga! Hindi ko alam kung ano ang mararamdaman ko. Pero ngayon ang puso ko ay parang tatalon na lang bigla.

I face him and narrowed my eyebrows on him.

"So, bakit palagi mo 'kong iniisip? Ilang araw pa lang tayong nagkakilala at nagkita ang isa't-isa."

"Tell me first. Do you always dreaming about me?" he asked.

Hindi niya 'ko sinagot. Tapos may panibago na siyang tanong.

Namula naman ang mga pisngi ko dahil sa tanong niyang 'yon.

Tama siya. I've been always dreaming about him. Simula nang magkita kami. Mga short clips lang. Palaging mukha niya. Tapos ibang mga taong hindi ko rin kilala. At palagi rin siyang kasama sa usapan, pag nananaginip ako.

"'Di ba, I told you if someone thinking about you, they're always visiting on your dream. And... Yes... I'm always dreaming about you. Kasi sabi mo palagi mo 'kong iniisip. Kaya baka ganoon," matapang kong sagot.

And I regret because of that idea na sinagot ang tanong niya. Because he's smiling like an idiot now.

"Ano-ano ang mga napapaginipan mo?" he asked again.

"That's below the belt na, na question. Sagutin mo rin ang tanong ko. Why are you always thinking about me?"

"Because you're always visiting on my mind, Avyl. And I can't help it. That's the answer. Wala nang iba pa...," he simply answered.

"Ayon lang? Ang labo mo! If you always thinking that person, you have a deep reason about that. Hindi 'yong pumapasok lang siya sa isipan mo. Kasi ayon lang...," I explained and couldn't help but to rolled my eyes on him again.

Umiling na lamang siya at nag kibit balikat. Pero naroroon pa rin ang nakasilay na ngiti sa kaniyang mga labi.

Ang gwapo niya sa ngiting iyon at kung ngi-ngiti pa siya nang ngi-ngiti, ewan ko na lang baka mapunit ang labi nito dahil dito.

Hindi na siya nagsalita pa and he drink his water while starring at me.

Masasanay ka rin, Avyl sa kakatitig niyan.

Ako naman ay bumalik na sa hinihigop kong soup na ginawa ni Zam.

Rinig pa rin namin ang malakas na kulog at kidlat na may dala ring malakas na ulan.

"May bagyo ba? Kanina naman hindi ganito ang panahon. Maaliwalas kanina," tanong ko na.

"Yes, the PAG-ASA announced it earlier. At pag hindi pa tumila 'to bukas. We can't go home. Baka rito na muna tayo pansamantala. And I think the road will be closed, dahil lilinisin pa 'yon."
