"How are you?"
Without looking into his eyes, I answered.
"I'm fine, Eli."
"You are not Riley!"
I slowly look into his eyes. Those eyes who captured my attention the first time i met him.
"Hey.", said a boy in front of me holding two ice creams, chocolate flavor. Iniumang niya sa akin ang isang ice cream na hawak niya.
I looked at him. I never bothered wiping my tears. I directly met his brown eyes, they are so beautiful, mesmerizing me. His eyes can give me unending happiness.
"Kunin mo na, masarap yan.", sabi niya at lalong inilapit sa akin ang ice cream na hawak niya sabay ngiti ng malapad.
Kinuha ko ang ice cream na inalok niya sa'kin at ibinalik ko ang tingin ko sa kanya.
He extend his free hand in front of me. His eyes looks at me, like he's asking me to take his hands and shake it.
I raise my one hand.
I did not take his hand instead i slap his hand and turn my back on him.
Naalala ko pa ang unang pagdadaop ng mga mata namin. Ang kaniyang mga mata. Ang mga matang inibig ko at hindi pagsasawaang titigan. Ang mga matang laging binibigyan ako ng kasiguraduhang magiging maayos rin ang lahat.
"I'm not fine Elijah."
