Drake and Anya

Missing Puzzle

Drake Miranda

In my whole life, I never experienced motherly love. My mother died when she was giving birth to me, according to my father. And I know that, lumaki ako na alam ang tungkol doon. He never hid it because I deserve to know my mother is, but when I found out... it hurts, why? Because I didn't even see my Mom's face, I didn't even hug her even once.

That's why when Mama Serine came into Papa and my life, she's really a blessing when she came to our family. When I was a kid, she gave me love, she gave me motherly love, and the puzzle in my heart got complete.

That's what I know, but I was wrong... a puzzle in my heart was still missing and incomplete. I was so confused, why? I have a lot of things, in just one snap, I'll get anything I want... I was so tired finding the missing piece little did I know... it's already in front of me, hindi ko lang siya nakikita.

Si Anya.

"Seriously, Drake, you can't feel anything towards her?" Kester pointed to a woman not far from us.

We were in High School when I realized that Anya is kinda pretty. Hindi siya pala-ayos, basta makapag-bihis at ayos na siya, iyon na 'yon. Elementary palang kilala ko na si Anya, pero hindi ko siya kinakausap. Naging close lang kami dahil sa isang science activity which is kailangan partner ang babae sa lalaki.

I was the type of guy, who only spoke once the person asked me a question, eh, marami siyang tanong kaya ayon... lagi kong sinasagot. While she's the type of girl that loves to laugh so loud, she was talkative, and I'll be honest... palamura siya.

At kaya ko nasabi na High School ko lang napansin na gumaganda siya ay dahil 'yon ang nakikita ko ngayon, she's not that person who's always wearing a makeup. Madalas ko siyang makita na natural ang mukha, at walang halong makeup. Pero ngayon... ang ganda ng ayos niya. She's gorgeous, kahit simple lang ang suot niya, sumisigaw ang kagandahan niya.

"Nothing, dude, we are friends," iling ko sabay alis ng tingin kay Anya. "And fuck that question, how can you say that?"

"Eh, kasi naman, Drake! Sa tagal niyong magkaibigan, hindi mo siya nagustuhan? Tingnan mo nga ang mga kaklase natin, halos ligawan na siya. Pero swerte mo, ha? Kaibigan mo ang hinahangaan nila!" Hinampas ako ni Shion kaya masama akong tumingin sa kaniya.

Hindi ko alam... I really can't feel anything towards her. I only see her as a friend pero naiinis ako kapag may nagtatangka na manligaw sa kaniya. Naiinis ako dahil pumapayag siya na magpaligaw siya.

Lahat ng nanliligaw sa kaniya, hinaharang ko. Hindi niya 'yon alam. Ang alam niya lang, nagsasawa silang ligawan siya kaya hinihinto.

"Drake, kawawa naman 'yong lalaki, sinuntok mo pa," si Tristan nang malaman niyang sinuntok ko 'yong nanliligaw kay Anya.

"He deserves that," I put my hands on my pocket.

"Tsk, tsk, ayaw mo pa kasing aminin na ayaw mong may nanliligaw kay Anya dahil gusto mo na siya. Gusto mo ikaw 'yon manliligaw sa kaniya," Shion teased me.

I raised my middle finger when they laughed at Shion's accusation.

"Tell us, do you like her?"

I couldn't answer Kester's question. I shook my head instead. Hindi inaasahan nakita ko si Anya na may kasamang lalaki. Fuck, may bago na naman nanliligaw sa kaniya?!

Kinuha ko ang bag ko para mahabol 'yong dalawa. I saw that man, it was Kenneth! The ugly duck?! I rolled my eyes.

"Don't tell me... you will say 'yes' to the fucking ugly duck." I leaned on my locker, crossing my arms while watching her putting her things inside her locker.
