ARAIA

"She's a psycho."

Rael exclaimed. We all laughed. Symon is busy treating my wounds in my face. Though I don't want it because we're too close to eachother.

"Uh... Akyat muna ako sa taas, kuya," paalam ni Rael nang mahalatang seryoso si Symon sa kaniyang ginagawa. He turn at me with a teasing look before he went upstairs.

"Sorry for what happened awhile ago," Symon started.

"It's okay," I answered. "It's not like I'll die because of that bruises—"

"No, not that," Symon halted. "The hug earlier..."

Umayos na ito sa pagkakaupo at nasa labi ko pa rin nakatingin. He met my eyes and look elsewhere.

"Pero totoong pangalan mo talaga ay Araia, tama ba ako?" Pagkaklaro niya. I nodded.

"Yeah, it's Araia," I answered. "How did you know my name? Did we met before?"

Umiling ito. "No. But in my dreams, your face is everywhere but it's blurry. All I know is your name. Simula noong nagkalagnat ako, doon na luminaw unti-unti ang mukha mo. And when I woke up from that dream..." He paused and look at me. "I saw you, looking at me."

"That's weird..." I commented. "I don't know you at all. I don't even know your name until you told me about it."

We stayed quite. I look at their wall clock and it's passed five thirty in the afternoon. Well, I guess. I need to go home.

But I heard he let out a deep sighed. Maybe I should stay and get all the information I need from this guy.

"Giselle and I were together for more than two years," he started. Unti-unting kumunot ang noo ko dahil hindi naman ako interesado malaman. "For that two year relationship, wala kaming ginawa kundi mag-away dahil sa pangangaliwa niya."

I slowly nodded. "How did you fix it?"

"Well, you wouldn't want to know," he answered. "Pero tinanong mo na so might as well answer it." He then look at my eyes. "We ended up in bed, naked."

My eyes widen to what I heard. I remember that time, maybe Aldridge is doubting my feelings so I gave in. But I'm seeking for something too that time! Something pleasure...

"She had sex with someone else, we fight, we ended up in bed to fix it," sabi niya. "Paulit-ulit na gano'n. Until she admit that I'm a boring person."

Napakunot ang noo ko. "How did you become a boring person? I mean, we don't know eachother that much but I think you're not..."

He chuckled. "'Yan rin ang exact na sinabi mo sa panaginip ko..." He whispered but it didn't escape from my ears. "Well, I slowly fall out of love for her that time. Parang kapag paulit-ulit ko siyang pinapatawad, paulit-ulit niya ring ginagawa."

"Well, ang pinakasincere na apologies ay hindi na talaga inulit pa after," I commented. "Pero maybe may iba pang reasons? As I know, hindi naman basta-basta naaalis agad ang love dahil lang doon. Sometimes, if the wild card is being placed in the battlefield, iba ang nagagawa. Like, if you exceed and you really love that person, may magagawa kang kakaiba. Something that you don't imagine you will do that."

He nodded. "I agree."

Nanlaki ng bahagya ang mga mata ko nang marealize ang sinabi ko. I love someone and I'm full of attention and love of everyone. I didn't know where did I got those words.

Sometimes, every words I spit is quite shocking.

"To be honest, Araia," Symon spoke. "I really feel comfortable being with you. Kahit noong una ay sa panaginip lang kita nakikita..."
