"Being in love on someone who doesn't exist at all... Is that being stupid? Delusional? Insane? Or crazy?..."-GIYO

IT WAS A LAZY AFTERNOON...

I was sitting on the bench in front of a big white house who seems no one was home... Muka na itong luma at tila wala ng nagmamay-ari pa... Because of the shed of the tree that brought in a cold and fresh air ay naisipan kong doon magbasa ng paborito kong libro dala ang ipad at headset ko.

I was busy on reading while listening and enjoying the music that was playing together with the good weather and quiet surroundings when i felt someone's stare...

Ayaw ko mang magtaas ng tingin upang tignan kung sino iyon dahil kasalukuyan akong nag-eenjoy sa binabasa kong libro but i don't know... I don't know why there was a force who make me look at...

And there...

In front of me was a smiling girl in a white long silk dress and an angel look-a-like face.... Its look like were in the same age...

"What?" I ask coldly on her while putting my book mark on the middle of my book where i stop reading and put it down together with my headset at my right side...

She just shake her head side by side slowly as if hesitating to answer...

"You know what? You just disturbed me from reading an exciting story." Malamig man ang tono ng boses ko ay hindi ko itinago ang disgusto at iritasyon na nararamdaman ko sa kaniya kahit wala naman talaga siyang ginagawang masama sa akin.. She was just there. Standing in front of me smiling and watching me....

I'm rude and i admit it but this time.. It seems that i don't have the heart to be rude specially to this angel looking girl who innocently watching me...

I lift my hand and gesture my left side wherein there is a space so that she can sit...

Nakatitig lang ito sa akin na tila nagtataka kaya naman napailing ako dahil doon...

"You can sit here" I boredly said then tapped my side... The girls eye widened as if I said something really shocking with a glint of something like she just achieved something i don't know... She smile widely on me then slowly sat down as if taking care not to make any sound...

Sa iritasyon na nararamdaman ko ay walang pasubaling hinawakan ko ang braso nito at hinila paupo... Hindi nakaligtas saakin ang lamig ng balat nito na ngayon ay hawak ng kamay ko.. I don't know if it was the weather or she was sick... I also notice how shock she was then look down at my hand on her shoulder...

Kunot lang ang noo ko ng bitawan ang braso niya na dali-dali naman niyang hinaplos habang nakayuko at malikot ang mga mata na tumitingin sa paligid.

Weird....

"Whats your name?"i asked while starting to flip the page of the book i was holding and starting to read again .

Hindi ako nakarinig ng kahit anong sagot mula dito pero ramdam ko ang tingin na pinupukol nito sa akin kaya naman napilitan akong alisin ang tingin mula sa binabasa at binalingan siya only to find out that she was just sadly looking at me... Her eyes were mirrored with tears and she was smiling as if it can hide her sad eyes....

"Im asking what is your name"muli ay tanong ko ngunit gaya kanina ay ganoon pa din ang reaksiyon nito.. She will just widened the stretch of her lips to form a convincing smile and that's all.. Wala na itong ibang reaksiyon kaya naman napapailing na lang ako dito...

"What a weird.. I'd better go..."boryo kong sabi at inayos ang mga dalang gamit bago tumayo at akmang aalis na ng maramdaman kong muli ang kamay nito na humawak sa braso ko... I can feel how the hair at my nape stands .. Nakaramdam ako ng kilabot ng dahil lang sa pagdampi ng kamay nito sa braso ko... Creepy?...
