Numb
A cold drop of rain fell on my shoulders as i look through the sky and flashed a calm smile.
Rain,they always come when you don't expect them to she sunny then she'll cry.
Mahigit isang lingo na rin ang lumipas simula noong lumipat kami ng pamilya ko ng bahay.Buti na lang mataas yung pinagtayuan ng bagong bahay namin hindi babahain yun yung positive effect nun pero ang negative effect naman mataas at nakakapagod naman maglakad.
Wala pa naman din akong pera kaya kailangan kong magtiis maglakad at pagtiyagaan ang payong.
"Bakit ba kasi kailangang mapagod pwede naman hindi na diba?" Hobby ko na ata talaga ang pakikipag-usap sa sarili lalo na pag mag-isa,syempre para narin maaliw ako kahit paano
Friendly naman ako kaso wala akong ka-classmate na malapit sa hometown ko.Kaya eto napaka loner ko.
Malapit na ako sa bahay nang may nakita akong lalaki na basa na sa ulan.
nag se-senti ata,pero naawa ako sa kanya hind sya naglalakad at nadoon lang sa harap ng isang bahay,bahay ata ng girlfriend nya gwapo ka pa man din na-busted ka
I can't help myself to feel pity at him while I'm watching him get soaked in the rain.
Nakatulala ako sa kanya at hindi ko na namalayan na nabitawan ko na pala ang kina-iingat ingatan kong payong.
"Ayy! ano ba'yan! pumunta pa doon sa Lalaki." I said as i came closer to him step by step and i saw his pity looking face.
"Ok ka lang? huy! basa ka na! gusto mo makipayong sakin malapit na ako sa bahay ko ikaw saan ka banda?" I asked and i looked at his face and asked him again.
"Ano?"
"Sa una pag nababasa ka ng ulan ramdam na ramdam mo ang malamig na patak nito sa katawan mo.Pero habang tumatagal wala ng effect sayo.Numb na ako wala na akong nararamdaman."
"okay you might be numb emotionally but your not numb physically kaya tara na at walang magagawa ang pag s'senti.Ano tara?" I asked but he did'nt answer and he just shared an umbrella with me.
"san ka banda?" I asked.
"Going straight." He answred without any emotion on his face.
"Going Straight? Ano ka si P-noy?"
"What's your name?" He asked while he was trying to bend his lips into a happy expression.
"Krista Reigne Gonzalez." I said as i hung my hand.
"Dwayne Ethan Garnet." He answered as he fetch my hand and slightly shaked it.
"Nice kulang lang ng L yung akin tapos Kristal na then yung sayo Garnet." Natatawa kong sabi sakanya
"Bakit trip mo ba yung Garnet? hayaan mo future Surname mo naman yun." He said as i arched my brow again "Joke! masyado mo kasi ako kinaka awaan eh kaya biniro kita ng konti."
Naku! wag kang mag joke ng ganyan you don't know me.im krista the goddess of cuteness and figure gwapo ka pa man din malaki ang chance na maging crush kita.
"Ahh dito na ako,ikaw saan ka?"
"Ayan oh!" he pointed a house but i was confused because he's pointing the same direction where my house is.
"Saan? katabi ba ng bahay namin?"
"Oo nga! katabi ng dambuhala nyong bahay!" he said and i slapped myself and laughed.
"Ahh" tumango ako at ngumiti.
"Bago lang kasi kami dito.Bakit? dambuhala din naman bahay nyo ah?" Sabi ko sabay marahan kong palo sakanya.
"Sige bye!" I said and he ran towards their house and opened their black gate
"Hey! wait!" I said and he looked at me and asked
"Why?" He asked after he turned his head.
"Punta ka bukas please." I gave him a puppy eyes and giggled a little.
"Sure." he said and i ran towards our house but i heard him scream my name
"Krista! wait for me in your window later"
"Ha?" Tanong ko dahil hindi ko ito maintindihan pero hinayaan ko nalang.
I opened the gate and greeted mom and kissed her on the cheeks.
"Okay ka lang? naglakad ka lang ba?"
"Opo eh akala ko po kasi hindi uulan kaya hindi na po ako nagtira ng pera and para narin po ma-ikot din sana ang village kaso ayun nga po umulan." I said to her as i remove my shoes while looking at her.After i removed my shoes i went inside the house then i remembered something.
"Ay mommy may pupunta po pala dito bukas!" I said aloud.
"Who? your boyfriend?" She joyfully asked.
"Hala! hindi po! pero lalaki po sya." Medyo nahihiya kong sambit kay Mommy
"Hayy salamat sa diyos nagka gusto ka rin sa lalaki" she teased.
"Ohh sya! magpalit ka na after that kumain ka na at favorite mo ang ulam!"
Si mommy sya yung nanay na kahit magka boyfriend ako ng kahit anong age ehh ok lang at sya pa ang nag pu-push na magka boyfriend ako.
She's the best!
Pagkatapos ko maligo ay dumiretso na ako sa baba para kumain ng Bulalo na favorite na favorite ko.Pagkatapos kong kumain gumawa ako ng assignment sa aking study table na kagtabi ng bintana.
"Hay salamat naka tapos rin!" i said before i yawn.I suddenly remembered something
"Krista! wait for me at your window later!"
I remembered then i stood up and viewed the outside of my window and heared someone call my name.
"Hey! Krista."
"Wahh! cool! pwede tayo mag usap dito." I said as i wandered my eyes through everything
"Paano mo nalaman na dito ang kwarto ko?" I asked as he moved closer to me.
Konti lang ang agwat ng bintana nya sa bintana ko kaya kung hindi kami magka rinigan lalapit ka lang ng konti okay na.
"Paano ko hindi malalaman? The color of your room looks so much like you.I mean it's color pink and it has butterflies.How would i not know that its a girls room?" he said and i chuckled.
"Oo nga no? obvious masyado.Mahilig lang kasi talaga ako sa cute things.Tawag nga sakin ng mga kaibigan ko Goddess of Cuteness daw ako eeh!" i joked and he laughed.
"Totoo nga yung sinasabi nila kanina kasi hindi ko masyado napapansin pero ngayon mas malapit ang view ko sayo mas napapansin ko."
He said and i cant help myself to feel flattered paano sya lang um-agree sa binansag ko sa sarili ko hihihihi!
"Kaya siguro nakipag break sayo yung girlfriend mo noh!! kasi sobrang galing mong mambola!"
I said and he smiled and looked down
"Ayy!" Napatakip ako sa binganga kong madalas maingay at nanlaki ang mata.
"Sorry! ano ba kasi nanyari? bakit ka naka abang sa bahay nila?" I asked.
"Huh? girlfriend?"
"Napaka sinungaling mo your so unfair i helped you kanina ha? kwento mo na napaka daya mo!"
"Hindi ko nga yun girlfriend.lets say nililigawan ko!"
"Okay~ what does she looks like?" I excitedly asked.
"Well uhm~ she's tall,she has a white skin,she hates flowers."
"Why?! ang mga babae na ayaw talaga sa flowers ay maldita,napaka unpatient!" I said as his face expression changed
"Sorry~" Sabay pakita ko ng peace sign sakanya.
"Psshh! don't feel sorry hindi sya kawalan besides may pumalit naman kaagad." He said as his face turned red.
"Sino?!"
"Ang numb mo naman grabe!" so ako pa itong numb ano ba ginawa ko? sya nga tong nagsabi kanina na numb sya eeh!
"Baka ikaw ang numb dyan! sinabi mo kanina numb ka na tapos sinasabi mo na numb rin ako excuse me i'm not numb ok binibigyan ko kaya ng mga chance ang mga manliligaw ko."
"Weh! may manliligaw ka?" ay na-insult ako dun ha! parang niluwa mo lang yung sinabi mo kanina na cute ako.
"Ewan ko sayo!" I said and i closed my window and untied the curtain and i jumped on my bed and mummbled to myself
"Leche! anong akala nya sa akin pangit at walang nag babakasakali na ligawan ako."
I heard a tap on my window and didn't had any intension of knowing who did it because i only have one window neighbor -__-
"I DONT HEAR ANYTHING LA~LA~LA~LA~LA~"
*knock*
"Arrggh! hindi ako makaka tulog sa ginagawa mo ok! please let me sleep we can talk tomorrow!"
"If you think that im insulting you, well im not.Actually gusto ko ngang magtanong kung pwedeng pumila."
"No you cant! bawal na pumila!"
"Ayy sayang! pwede ba kahit hindi kita patulugin besides wala namang pasok eH"
"May party pa bukas kaya matutulog ako.Punta ka bukas ha? goodnight Ethan! Okay lang ba kahit tawagin kitang ethan?"
"Sure ikaw lang ang pwedeng tumawag sakin nyan.Goodnight Krista! i like you!"
I stood up and looked at him at the window.
"May sinabi ka?"
"Wala! sabi ko matulog ka na!"
"May sinabi ka eh! (shake head) baka isip ko lang yun.Goodnight ulit!"
"Krista~ I like ---"
"You like me?" i answered sarcastically.
