"But don't post it to your wall."

He smiled and nodded. Nauna na siyang naglakad papunta roon habang ako ay nakasunod naman sa likuran nito. I didn't noticed that he stop so my face bumped into his hard back.

"Ouch!" I hissed irritatedly.

Mabilis naman siyang lumingon sa akin at pinasadahan ako ng tingin. Napahawak ako sa aking ilong na masakit dahil sa impact. I saw Silas concern eyes while surveying my face. Kaya medyo kinabahan na rin ako sa naging reaksiyon niya.

"Why? Did it bleed?" I caressed my nose to check if there's a blood.

Kumunot ang noo ko nang wala namang mahawakan na dugo.

"It didn't bleed but it reddened." He removed my hand and then began caressing it softly.

"Does it hurt?" He gently caressed it again while waiting for my answer.

I don't know what's with his hand but the pain I am a while ago suddenly subsidy. I shook my head. He sighed. Nawala na ang pag-alala sa kan'yang mukha naging maaliwalas na ulit ito.

I was smiling widely while facing the camera in front of me and then suddenly I saw the flash of camera. On the next posing I made a peace sign and smiled. Sa buong oras na pagpipicture nito sa akin at nanatitili ang pagiging tahimik nito na nakapagpalito sa akin. The Silas I know won't last a minute silent. But minutes had passed he's still quite while his eyes glued to his camera.

When I got tired I stopped. And took a steps to came near where Silas is standing. He's been busy looking at his camera reason why he did not notice me approaching. Maingat at marahan ang mga galaw ko papunta sa kan'ya. I'm planning to startle him but my mind change when I saw how serious he is.

Nang makalapit ako sa kaniya ay tiningnan ko rin ang tinitingnan niya pero nagulat ako nang makita ko na picture ko iyon. Huli na niya akong napansin na nasa gilid niya na pala ako. His face look embarrassed because I caught him staring at my photo for such long. He cleaned his throat.

"Uhmm... I'm just checking if you look good on this photo..." He mumbled while averting his gaze from me.

"Let's take a picture." I took the camera from his hand and came to his side.

Tinaas ko iyon sa ibabaw gamit ang aking kamay. I suddenly click the button and made a pose. I feel Silas placed his hand on my shoulder. I took a lot of shots while smiling in front of the camera.

Tiningnan ko ang mga kuha kong picture. I'm smiling widely while looking at the photos because we're both looks good on the pictures but one picture of us caught my eyes. I stop from that photo— I look at it carefully. My face were face on the camera with sweet smile plastered on my lips while Silas is looking at me also with a wide smile.

My heart thumped. His right hand settled on my shoulder. I looked like a child because of our height difference. Mas lalo pang gumanda ang kuha na iyon dahil sa background and our matching color clothes. We look like a couple wearing the same outfits. I shrugged off the thoughts that running on my head. I think I'm going crazy.

"We look good together in that photo. I will laminate and frame this. Do you want one? I can give you a copy if you want." I heard him say.

I forget that he's still here beside me. My eyebrows arked and rolled my eyes. I give him back his camera.

"Suit yourself." I left him there and starting stepping to go back where we are earlier.

It was at seven o'clock that Silas decided to drive me home. He's worried that my parents might find me. But he doesn't have a clue that my parents doesn't care for me. Pero hindi ko na iyon pa sinabi. I don't want to go home yet but he's really determine to take me home. In the end, I agree.
