Unlabeled [Baguio Series #1]

46

We took photos together. May solo ko, solo niya, tapos ay ang selfie naming magkasama na madalas ay siya naman ang front. Minsan ay pinagpo-front niya ako pero nahihiya ako. Pero pinagbibigyan ko na lang din.

Nagpapa-picture din siya sa ibang turista na malapit sa amin para daw marami siyang ipo-post sa social media accounts niya.

Ako nga ay hindi nagpo-post ng tungkol sa aming dalawa, eh.

Nasa lounger kami nakahiga nang magkatabi ngayong madilim na talaga, tinitingnan ang mga picture naming dalawa. Nakita ko ang isang stolen ko na ang pangit lalo! Tumatakbo ako sa part kung saan tumatama ang alon at nakatawa pa!

"Ang pangit ko d'yan!" sabi ko tsaka humagalpak ng tawa. "Akin na 'yan!"

"Ayaw!" he said, laughing.

Inilayo niya sa akin ang cellphone nang sinubukan kong kuhanin. "Akin na sabi!"

Tawa lang kami nang tawa hanggang sa sumuko na ako.

"Ang pangit pangit! Ba't ba kahilig sa stolen!" reklamo ko.

"Why? You look so happy there."

"Ang pangit ko namang maging masaya," I said.

He kissed my lips right after I said that. "I said, don't talk bad things about my girlfriend."

"Who's your girlfriend?" kunwari ay masungit kong tanong.

"The person you always call ugly," he scoffed. "My girlfriend's not ugly. She's very, very pretty."

Umirap ako sa kan'ya. "Wala kang taste. Ang pangit ng girlfriend mo."

"Tss," he smirked. "She's very pretty. I wish you can see that."

I stopped myself from smiling.

"Anyway, balita ko, guwapo raw ang boyfriend mo?" biglang tanong niya na nagpatawa sa akin.

"Sinong nagsabi?" kunwari ay gulat kong tanong.

"I saw you two kissing," lalo akong tumawa. "Well, sabi ng boyfriend mo, good kisser ka raw."

Pinaghahampas ko siya sa katawan niya sa sobrang inis dahil ang dami daming alam, isinisingit pa 'yon!

"Oo, guwapo ang boyfriend ko. Sobrang guwapo!" sabi ko nang nagyayabang. "I hope your girlfriend is as beautiful as my boyfriend."

He shifted from his place and faced me. He cupped my face, brushing his thumb on my cheek. "My girlfriend is the prettiest. She just doesn't see it. She doesn't even know her worth. Please tell my girlfriend to know that she's way more beautiful than what she sees in mirror. And I really hope she'll find her worth soon."

I smiled as I nodded. Ipinatong ko ang palad ko sa mukha niya. I slightly caressed my thumb on his cheek, like what he's doing. "I'll tell your girlfriend to stop being so pessimistic."

He smiled before pulling the back of my head and claimed my lips. I wrapped my arms around his nape as I closed my eyes and kissed him back. I felt his hands travelled to my back as he pulled me closer to him. After few seconds, he broke the kiss and planted one on my nose.

"I love you."

I smiled as I hugged him.

"I wish you'll know what you really feel for me too," he said as he hugged me back. "Because I know that you do too."

I smiled as I hugged him tighter.

I think I know now... I think I know...

We ate our dinner on a restaurant, and after that, we walked holding hands by the beach. Hindi pa rin siya tapos sa pagkuha ng picture kaya naman ang dami-dami na naming picture sa parehong cellphone namin.
