Pusong Ligaw

"Ikaw pa rin ang hanap ng pusong ligaw, ikaw ang patutunguhan at pupuntahan. Pag ibig mo ang hanap ng pusong ligaw; mula noon, bukas at kailanman."

"Take good care of her, ijo."

I looked up to see who was talking, I smiled as soon as I saw his father on my side. "I am, tito. It's just that I can't do it publicly. I am sorry for that."

He smiled at me. "It's okay, as long as you make her your priority and finding time to see her? I know it's hard on your part."

I shook my head. "No, tito. I love making her special everyday."

It's her concert today, and everyone around me are too excited to see her. Well, yeah. I'm excited too. No one knew we're coming, because it'll cause another fan wars among our fans and her fans.

When she came out from the stage, I saw how happy she is. God, how come I never fought for this girl? She accepted my imperfections and she embraced all the negative side I have.

I sighed, but his father tapped my shoulder. "Trust the process, ijo. Just be loyal to her."

I nodded and fixed my eyes to where she is. God, I wanna treat her right with all honesty and make her feel wanted.

I remember when she tried to understand my mood swings. She was too patient with me when I get jealous. She tried to listen to my complaints even if it is nonsense.

"Kisses! Kisses! Kisses!" Her fans were chanting her name.

I smiled everytime I hear them chanting her name. I know to myself that she's happy making everyone smile. She's really something.

And now, seeing her perform. It makes me so proud of her. From singing to dancing, God. She really tries to improve her craft, that's make me a proud friend.

I looked around the KIA Theater. I saw him looking at her. I saw how happy he was. Is this some kind of rivalry? 'Cause I am not a fan of this kind of story.

"The moment that you ignored her, someone out there is more than willing to treat her right." My father said.

"But I am not ignoring her, dad." I defended myself.

"Sure," He shrugged. "But, the moment you start treating her like shit, someone out there wants to be with her so she could be happy."

"Do I really treat her like shit?" I asked.

He shrugged. "No one knows."

I looked at her while she's performing; I smiled when she looked at me. I know, she will never be a perfect perfect. She really has dark sides. She overthinks, sometimes. She always feels like she is not good enough. But the truth is, her smile and laughs are more than enough for me.

And there is one thing for sure in our lives, she will never ever give up on us easily. She's enduring the pain just to prove to us that she'll always be there for us. She endured even if are gans treated her badly. She was more than willing to sacrifice a lot of things for me, for us.

"I'm so proud of my baby girl." I heard one of her fans.

"Grabe, I really wish someone would take care of her, 'no?" Another one added.

"Feeling ko nga may something sila ni Tony." And another one. "Wait, no pala. She likes Donny diba?"

I sighed. Even if I know that she will never ever give up no matter how tough it is getting. I know to myself that there are so many guys that will love to hold her and make her happy.

Is it a selfish move if I wished and prayed that I will always be her special friend? Is it selfish if I wanted to be her only one? Because, no matter how long I know my heart really belongs to her.

I looked up and saw her looking at me while saying, "Pag ibig mo ang hanap ng pusong ligaw; mula noon, bukas at kailanman."

I smiled at her and mouthed, "Ikaw pa rin ang hanap ng pusong ligaw."
