One Shots

You

"You pushed me up when I'm about to give up; you're on my side when no one seems to listen."

--

I sighed. I don't know what to do anymore.

"Masaya pa ba ako?" I asked myself. "Sasaya pa ba ako?"

I sighed again.

Dapat ay masaya ako ngayon. Masaya dapat dahil sa mga blessings na natatanggap ko. After ng journey ko sa PBB ay sunod sunod na ang mga projects na dumarating sakin. Pero bakit parang may kulang?

Napatingin ako sa pintuan nung bigla itong bumukas. Pumasok si ate Maymay na may malaking ngiti sa mukha. I can say na masaya talaga siya. Masaya rin naman ako para sa kanya.

Pero sino bang niloko ko? Inamin ko nga na nainggit ako sa kanya noon. Sino ba ang hindi? She's blessed with talents. I am blessed with wealth. Syempre kahit anong push ko pa sa sarili ko na gawin ang isang bagay, yung feedback nila is 'ay, ginastusan lang yan ng tatay niya' which is not true. My Kissables put so much efforts to make me feel loved. And I am really thankful for that.

I closed my eyes. I felt pain on my chest. Sa sobrang sakit ay unti unti ako nitong binibigyan ng dahilan para bumigay.

"Uy, ang lalim naman ng iniisip mo."

I looked at her. "Hindi naman, 'te May."

"Hey, twinny." Bati ng lalaki sa likuran ni ate Maymay. "Hey, Kisses."

"Edward!" Tumili naman si ate Maymay.

I just smiled. Hinayaan ko nalang sila magkulitan. Ni hindi nga nila napansin na umalis ako sa kinauupuan ko.

Lumabas ako ng dressing room, nakasalubong ko si kuya Iñigo na mukhang papunta kay ate Maris.

"Hi, Kisses!" Bati ni kuya Iñigo. "San punta mo?"

"Hi, kuya! Wala naman po. Lakad lakad lang." I said. "Ikaw po? Kay ate Maris?"

He smiled at me. "Ikaw ha. Nakiki-asar ka na rin."

I laughed at what he said. "Di naman po."

Ginulo niya yung buhok ko at nagpaalam na. Ako naman ay naglakad ulit, di ko alam kung saan ako pupunta.

I sighed again. I saw kuya James and ate Nadine. Why do I have to be with couples?

"Hi bebe girl!" It was ate Nadine.

"Hi po, ate!" I greeted her.

"Where are you going?"

Umiling ako. "Hindi ko po alam."

She laughs. "Iwan ko muna sayo si James ha? Bantayan mo."

I nodded. Kuya James looked at me. "What?"

He shook his head. "You remind me of someone."

"Huh?"

"She's good with fashion yet she's shy." He said with a creased forehead. "She's too friendly and kind."

"Are you describing me or someone?"

He smiled at me and messed my hair. "Ugh, nevermind. You won't get it."

"Are we talking about Ann Li?" I asked and that made him stiffed.

"How'd you know?"

"I was a fan?" I said. "No, I am still a fan."

"Fan?"

"JamLi." I said and smiled at him.

"Whoa. You know that?"
