Perfect Imperfections : Jazz

Brewing

Tinignan niya ang ekspresyon nito at wala naman siyang ibang makitang anumang awa doon kungdi ang sinseridad.

Kung tatanggihan niya iyon parang kabastusan ba? Dinala pa nito iyon galing sa ibang lugar, sayang naman din--

Natigilan naman siya.

Ibig sabihin kaya sa binigay nitong mga supply ay dito na ulit ito titira?

Pero paano ang buhay nito?

"B-bumalik na ba ang memorya mo?" tanong niya dito, saglit itong natigilan pero ngumiti ito.

"No...not all of it" sabi nito habang nakatingin sa kanya.

Yumuko naman siya,

Sa mga titig nito parang may kakaiba dito eh.

Parang iyong dating mabait na Jazz ay nahaluan ng kung ano?

Dahil kaya bumalik na ang ibang alaala nito?

Baka ganoon nga....

"H-hindi ko ugaling tumanggap ng kung ano ano, pero salamat sa mga ito" sabi niya at ngumiti dito.

Kahit man lang sa ngiti niya dito ay maipahatid niya ditong welcome pa rin ito sa bahay niya.

"I know...I was worried for a second na baka ayaw mo at tumanggi ka na lang---"

Napasinghap siya at agad na napalapit dito.

"What? What is it?" tanong nito sa nagulat na boses at siya lang ba o namula ito ng bahagya?

"Nagsasalita ka ng tagalog!" namimilog ang mga matang sabi niya.

Hindi namans iya makapaniwala, wala sa itsura nito na marunong itong magtagalog dahil buong akala niya ay iba ang lahi nito.

'Well yes, I can talk since mom is a filipina--"

"Bakit hindi mo sinabi?" kunot noong sabi niya, ayaw man niyang aminin dati pero kung hindi pa siya nakakapagbasa ng kung ano anong libro ay baka hndi niya ito maintindihan, paano na lang kung hindi di'ba?

"You didn't ask" sabi nito sa tila paos na boses at doon lang niya napansin na sobrang lapit ng mukha niya dito at doon ay amoy na amoy na niya ang mabangong katawan nito na may halong panlalaking pabango.

Namula siya at agad na lumayo dito.

At narinig niyang tumawa ito, agad siyang napatingin dito.

Napasimangot siya.

"You're so cute" tumatawang sabi nito.

"Hindi nakakatawa...paano na lang kung hindi ako nakaka intindi ng ingles aber?" sabi niya dito.

"Nope, you're very smart you know, you almost figure out that I-- uhm...nevermind" sabi nito at saka ngumiti ulit.

Namula naman siya dahil sa hayagang papuri nito.

Hindi naman niya maiwasang hindi mapansin na sobrang gwapo nito ngayon, ang linis linis lalo ng itsura nito...at ang bango bango pa.

"Wait, can I visit kapitan since he help me a lot" sabi nito na parang isa itong batang natutuwa, natawa naman siya dahil malayo ito sa pagiging cute na bata.

Pero nakakagawa na siya ng cute na bata di'ba? sabi ng maharot na parte ng isip niya, namula siya at tumalikod para itago ang pamumula dahil sa naisip.

"S-sige lang, iaayos ko lang 'tong mga 'to" sabi niya at kunwari ay hinarap ang mga dala nito.

"Great..be right back" sabi nito at nakahinga siya ng maluwag nung nakaalis na ito.

Agad niyang sinapo ang dibdib dahil sa malakas na tibok na hindi na kumalma.

Jazz's POV:

He's happy.

Like fucking very happy!

Why? He saw her again for starters, and second he will ask her now if she's willing to be his girl--

No, my woman. he smiled.

He missed her so much that he was having dreams that includes her of course.

He was even craving to hear her sexy voice.

He sighs aloud while smiling.

Few days ago, he went back to his life just to do things and wrap things up and decided to leave for a while to pursue her.

And now he's back and--

"Jazz!" he heard.

Then he saw the baranggay captain running while waving his hand.

He smiled at him for a bit.

And he saw people already gathering and whispering while eyeing at him.

"Nakabalik ka na pala ulit...kumusta?" he asked.

"Okay lang po, medyo natagalan but I'm fine" he said, he was the one helped him out, clothes...information, temporary work and covering his secrets.

He told him that he regained his memory the moment that they met, that was the time that he asked Layana to give them privacy at such, he asked for a favor, and he was already expecting him to asked something in return but he did not so he conclude that the baranggay captain was a good person.

Though he may not asked for something he will give it back...as a gratitude and he was aware of his financial crisis but he didn't think twice of helping him.

And he knows that he could speak tagalog.

He suddenly remember Layana's reaction earlier.... it's almost the same with the captain.

He laugh a little.

"Mukhang masaya ka ah, nagawa mo na ba ang gusto mo sa maynila?" he asked, he shakes his head.

"No...what I want is here--"

"Kap! Natanong mo na ba 'yong pari para sa kasal?" his eyes flew to the man he's familiar with, the twerp that tries to court his woman.

"Hindi pa, pero teka? Ikakasal ka na pala? Sinong malas na babae ang pumayag--"

"Hah! Siyempre ang pinakamamahal kong si Layana" he said proudly.

His ears went ringing by the name he mentioned, he felt like some bombs just exploded to his ears.

"WHAT!" he growled at him.
