How fascinating the sunset is. It can make you feel sadness and happiness at the same time. There is sadness when you know that you are getting nearer on the end but on the other side of it, it brings hope and opportunity for us to start again--and that, is happiness.
Nakaupo ako ngayon sa damuhan at nakayakap ako sa mga tuhod ko habang pinapanood ang pagbaba ng araw. Nandito pa rin si Lucas sa tabi ko, nakatungkod palikod ang dalawang kamay niya sa damuhan. He never said a word after that hug. He just sat here with me.
I can feel him looking at me. I never want to show anyone this side of me even kay Ava. Sanay ako na nakikita nila ako as the girl with the bright smile.
"Thank you." sabi ko habang nakatingin pa rin sa sunset.
He looked at me. "Are you okay now?" he asked.
Tumingin ako sa langit and I closed my eyes to stop the tears na nagbabadya nanamang mahulog.
Tumango na lang ako.
"You don't have to pretend that you're okay when you're not, Blue." he said.
I just sighed and I looked at him. I saw his eyes, those cold and mysterious stares.
"I'm okay." I lied and I smiled brightly at him.
"You can't fool me with that smile, your eyes screams sadness and pain." he said looking at me. Natigilan ako sa sinabi niya at umiwas agad ako ng tingin.
"I don't know what you're going through and I will not ask." he said while looking at the sunset. "But I just want to let you know that I will always be here, ready to listen."
Tiningnan ko siya dahil sa sinabi niya. Is this really the Lucas I know? I am looking at him and suddenly I felt something different...
The picture of him with the sunset. My heart beating so fast in an odd way. Butterflies in my stomach. No way, blue.
"Do you wanna go somewhere?" he asked.
I looked at him dahil 6:30 PM na at baka magtaka na si Ava kung bakit wala pa ako sa dorm. Tinitingnan niya ako at hinihintay ang sagot ko.
"We'll go back before midnight." he said.
"O-okay." I said. Bahala na, ayokong makita ako ni Ava na ganto. Panigurado tatanungin niya ako kung bakit ganto ang itsura ko.
"Let's go." Tumayo siya at inabot niya sa akin ang kamay niya para maitayo ako sa damuhan.
Inabot ko naman agad yun at tumayo na ako. Nauna siyang naglakad sa akin at sumunod lang ako hanggang sa tumigil kami sa harap ng isang sasakyan.
Binuksan niya ang pinto ng passenger seat at pinapasakay niya ako. I looked at him with confusion. "Is this your car?" I asked.
"Hindi ko naman mabubuksan ito kung hindi sa akin to blue." he said back with his cold voice and poker face. May pagkabipolar talaga tong lalaking to.
Naupo na lang ako hanggang sa makasakay na din siya. Nagdrive na siya at tumingin na lang ako sa labas ng bintana.
"You can rest for a while." he said.
