T R A V I S
I don't know why, but I am starting to be a stranger towards my own feelings.
I am the person closest to her, yet why can't I reach her?
Yet for some reason, no matter how I extend my arm to keep her close to me, it feels like it wasn't enough for me to reach her.
Ako lang ba ang nag-iisip nito? Kasi sa kanya parang wala lang.
Kung tutuusin, magkatabi lang naman kami tulad ng nakasanayan, pero sa ibang tao siya nakatingin.
Aliw na aliw siyang kausap ang taong iyon. Kahit na hindi nakakatawa ang mga banat niya, natatawa siya.
Kung titingnan, napakakumportable niyang kinakausap ang taong minsan niyang kina-inisan.
In her eyes, talking to him lights up her mood.
In her eyes she's happy to see him as if they haven't talked in days.
Nakikita pa ba niya ako?
Nasa bar na kami dahil na rin nagyaya si Gerard kanina. Isinama niya si Edielyn at natuwa naman si Maxene makita na may iba pang babae sa grupo. Hindi naman maipinta ang mukha ni Joshua dahil wala siyang date.
Tinignan ko naman yung katabi niya na masayang nakikipag-usap kay Maxene na para bang may sarili silang mundo; na parang sila lang ang nagkakaintindihan.
I'm starting to drown in a quicksand.
Iniwas ko ang tingin ko dahil kailangan ko ibalin ang atensyon ko sa ibang lugar.
Nang dumating na ang inorder namin na food and drinks, inabutan ko si Maxene ng alak, alam ko naman na gusto niyang uminom, ayos lang naman sa akin dahil Friday naman at pagkatapos namin makihalubilo sa mga 'to, dederecho rin naman kami sa condo niya. Hindi ko rin naman pababayaan na malasing siya, mamaya kasi mapaano siya.
"Uhmm..." She looks at me with uncertainty whether she's going to take the drink from me or not.
"I believe that is mine." Kaswal na sambit ni Pierre at kinuha mula sa kamay ko ang baso na dapat ibibigay ko kay Maxene. Nakita ko naman kung paano nakahinga si Maxene ng maluwag.
Ignore it.
Pierre raises his hand as the waiter takes his order, he looks at Maxene with a small smile as if they're having this conversation with their mind.
"Blended juice," he looks at Maxene, "Four seasons?" He verified and I saw how she gave him a friendly nod. Binalikan ni Pierre yung waiter, "Do you have anything spicy that we can chew on?"
"Meron po kaming Red Bull chicken wings, chili mac and cheese, Sriracha & egg avocado Burrito-"
"Great. You know your menu." Pierre cuts the waiter off and looks at Maxene raising her an eyebrow.
"Okay na ako sa chicken wings," She tells the waiter, "Oh, if you have french fries, I would love to have one." She added.
"Be sure na crunchy yung fries," Pierre reminded the waiter, "Maselan ang babaeng 'yan." He grins at her and the waiter walks away taking their follow up order.
Maxene hissed rolling her eyes at him.
"Spoiled." He teased her.
"Whatever." She answered back shaking her head with a smile.
I don't like what I am seeing.
Bakit kung maka-asta si Pierre parang siya ang boyfriend ni Maxene?
