It has been exactly two months since I last saw him. I don't know but I just feel lonely this past months. Kamusta kaya siya sa Italy? Or kung nando'n pa ba siya.
I'm with my friends but I feel out of place. It was like they created a new world when Jace came. Parang ako 'yung napagiiwanan sa tropa.
But I didn't comply. I want it. I want to be with Jace than to be with them but when I settled thing on between us, I came back to my friends, I feel so lonely too.
Back then, they always notice me, ask me, communicate with me. But now, it feels so hard. When you feel out of place, jealous.
"Shy lunch sa canteen!" Sigaw sakin ni Loki.
"Ha? Kayo nalang busog pako e." Sagot ko.
Starting that day I feel that. I distance myself to them. Kumakain ako ng mag-isa sa garden.
It is friday today. At friday lang nagkakasabay sabay ang schedule namin. And guess what? Ngayon ko lang napansin 'yon dahil si Jace ang kasama ko tuwing friday.
'Causing less bonding for me and my friends. So love can ruin everything?
If you can't be close to me, it's okay, I can settle seeing and admiring you from afar, my love.
"Hi."
Nananaginip ba ako? Napatingin ako sa gilid ko at nabigla ng makita yung lalaking nasa airport. Napakaliit talaga ng mundo.
"Hello!" Sagot ko at ngumiti ng bahagya.
"You're not with your boyfriend?" Tanong nito sa'kin.
Nawala ang ngiti ko at yumuko para paglaruan ang kamay ko.
"O-oh. Sorry. What's your name?" Tanong nalang nito sa akin ulit.
"Shienny Khim Mendez." Saad ko sa buong pangalan ko.
"Aero Thunder Lee." Dugtong niya nanman kaya napataningin ako sa kanya. May lahi siya?
"Half ka?" Tanong ko sa kaniya kaya tinawanan niya ako.
Hala nakakatawa ba 'yun? But in fairness. I am comfortable with him even though this is our second meeting.
"Fil-Am." He said then sat beside me.
"Fil-Am?" Tanong ko ulit na tinanguan niya lang.
Halata naman sa kanya na hindi siya pure. He's tall, white skin, hazel brown eyes at matangos ang ilong. Halatang halata din yung biceps niya sa uniform na suot niya. Shit. Bakit ko ba tinitignan 'yun.
"You?" He asked me back
"Same rin. Fil-Am." Saad ko. Dad is pure filipino while mom is pure american.
"Oh. That explains why your hair is a blonde!" He said then try to touch my hair.
Hindi man lang ako umiwas at hinayaan lang siyang gawin ang gusto niya.
