Summersault

"Dito lang pala kita makikita" sabi ni Eisen habang naglalakad papunta sa akin.

"Bakit mo pa ako hinanap?" I asked her as I stare at the beautiful light that is setting down now.

"You really love sunset noh?" She smiled as she look at me full of admiration.

"Maybe."

"Bakit tuwing summer lang kita nakikita?" She asked full of curiosity in her eyes.

"Why?" I look at her and noticed that she's staring at me intently.

"Ahhh.. hehehe. Wala lang." sabay peace sign.

"Why are you always looking for me?" I asked as i began to frown.

She moved closer and I swear i was taken aback when i smell her perfume.. Cherry blossom.. kasabay ng paghagip ng hangin sa buhok niya na kulay brown.

"Kasi malungkot ka? Gusto kita samahan." She smiled.. She smiled and I was lost for a moment. Her eyes glowed as the last touch of lightning hit the ocean and reflected into her eyes.

Umiwas ako ng tingin. Hinde dahil sa hinde maganda ang mata niya, kundi dahil baka mahulog ako sa sinabi niya.

"You don't have to." I answer and start to walk as everything gets darker.

"Sasamahan kita sa ayaw at sa gusto mo. Kukulitin kita hanggang sa maging panatag na ang loob mo sa akin." Hinde ko namalayan na nasa tabi ko na siya.

"And then what? After that, you'll leave me eventually just like everyone else did. You'll make me come out of my comfort zone then leave me. There goes me again, picking up the pieces that has been shattered from your words."

Nagsimula akong maglakad ng mabilis para makaiwas sa kanya. Ibang klase rin pala ang kakulitan ng babaeng ito.

"Iba ako sa kanila!" She shouted and I stopped. I stopped because..

"Yan din ang sinabi nila. What makes you think na iba ka sa kanila?" I walk towards her while looking into her eyes searching for honesty.

She look up at me and pouted. "Edi sana hinde na kita hinanap. Edi sana hinde na kita kinukulit. Edi sana umalis na ako. Edi sana mas pinili ko makasama friends ko kesa sayo. Tatlong taon mo na akong tinutulak pero here i am--

I hugged her tightly and patted her head. "Ang ingay mo." I can still feel her stiffed body. "Thank you.."

"Friends na ba tayo?" She asked hopefully.

"Death certificate." I responded.

I can see the confusion in her eyes as she look at me. "Ha? Death certificate? Para saan?"

I laugh and starts to walk again. I'm going home now.

"Ibig sabihin ba "No" pa rin ang sagot mo?" Akala ko hinde niya na gets.

"My deepest condolences to your "Pag-asa" sa sagot ko" laughing out loud and starts to run away. Running away to the possibility na hinde na ako titigilan ng babaeng ito.

"Teka! Hoy! Kainis to!"
