VIVERLEE ALTHEA

". . . Before you leave the class, make sure to leave all folders dito sa teacher's table ha? Ayosin niyo pag lagay. GOOD BYE CLASS!"

"Good bye, ma'am! Thank you po!"

Sol promised bibisita siya ngayon! I can't wait to go home para maka order ng pie for him. Ano kayang i-OOTD nila Arketa ngayon? Hmmm, siguro, best mag wear sila nang naka checkered? Checkered and them namin? Sigeee, para ma iba.

SFX: Loud thunder, rain dripping*

I lent out a sigh, "Pisting y*wa." I uttered as I stared on to the rain for a couple of seconds. O ano? Tatawagin ko nalang kaya si Sol? Papasundo nalang? He can't be possibly that busy na ngayon di ba? Since he told me he finished most of his paper works na last week, with someone helping him? 

Two rings before sinagot ang call ko, "Hey, Honey?"

"What's wrong?" Eh? Hindi niya ba ako igi-greet with a Hi, Honey? 

"Can you. . uhm. . maybe pick me up?"

"Bakit? Nasa clinic ka ba?"

"Ah, wala naman. Naga ulan lang dito sa amin."

"Oh, I see. Wait for me there lang five, twenty-seven. Ten minutes lang talaga." And just by that, it drew a smile on my face. Oo, ang liit ng kaligayahan ko. But the definition of my happiness means that I have a knight in dirty armor with me as my boyfriend. 

"Thank youuu! You're the best, honeeey! I love you, see youuu." 

He laughed softly before he spoke, "I love you so much, see you." 

Ilang awit pa ba ang aawitin o giliw ko?. . . Ilang ulit pa ba ang uulitin o giliw ko? Tatlong oras na akong nagpapacute sa iyo, 'di mo man lang napapansin ang bagong t-shirt ko. . (Ligaya by Eraserheads)

Back when we were still 10 years old, lagi kong naririnig mag kanta si Sol niyan. He'd get his grandfather's guitar and sing it sa harap ko. Tapos, sasabihin niya pa sa akin na hindi niya daw kinakanta para sa akin. He was a very weird kid.

Tapos, whenever may iba akong kalaro, it doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl, he'd take me by my hand tapos itatakbo niya ako kung saan saan. O di ba? Ang isang Viverlee Althea, ginawang kite ni Don Solentino.

At asahang iibigin ka. . . Sa tanghali sa gabi at umaga. . 'Wag ka sanang magtanong at magduda. . Dahil ang puso ko'y walang pangamba. . na tayo'y mabubuhay na tahimik at buong ligaya

Hindi ko lang siya tini-tease by calling him rude names, but lagi ko rin siyang tini-tease in a way na I'd make his ears red.

"Ligayaaa. . " after he strummed the guitar, he placed it down. "So, do you like it?" Tanong niya in a maldito tone of voice.
