Love Reflection

" Says Feelings, But Keep It Hidden"

FARRA SAJARDO ***

“Farra!”
And I looked at the person who called me, (wow! Kei was calling me as if I'm nothing)
“yeah? Bakit kei?”
“Do you mind if we go together? I mean, sa classroom.”  smiling like an idiot, for me I guess. “sure, no problem!!” sigh
Ako lang naman yung in denial, pero ang hirap kasing tanggapin na yung long time crush at first love mo, kahit kailan hindi ka makita bilang espesyal na babae. Kei Esteban was my long time crush and first love since Elementary days, we're friends but not so close. He's a good guy, with good looking face and attitude, mala daddy long legs ang datingan. Pwede ring kpop idol, kpop idol na tatanawin at hahangaan mo lang palagi.

“Hey Farra? Are you listening?” balik tanaw ko, may sinasabi pala na hindi ko na naintindihan dahil busy ako kakaisip din naman sa kanya.

“I said, what's your plan this vacation? I heard from our classmates, mag out of town ka? ”  ah, yun pala sinasabi niya

“well, I have to. Uuwi kasi mga cousins ko sa Tagaytay, it's a one in a life lagi samin Tong magpipinsan to bond.”  teka, bakit ba to nagtatanong about vacation ko?

“I'm just thinking that, if can I come along? Whatcha think? Well, I've known most of your cousins right? So, maybe it won't be bad.” he said it continuesly. Like whaaattt?! I look at him with serious killing face! Dahil hopia na nman ako at kapag binibiro lang ako nito, swear. Makalaglag puso na naman ito.

“yeah, yeah, hindi kita pina prank. I just want to try something, to experience something na wala sa mga dating bakasyon na pinupuntahan at sinasamahan ko. It's true Farr, I wanna come.” weird, as in weird. We've known each other for long years pero ngayon lang to nangyayari, parang gusto ko na lang bumigay agad.

“Okay! How will I know if its true? Ganito na lang, by the end of our semester, Friday — 3rd week, I'll be leaving for Tagaytay. Kung totoo ka, yung sinasabi mo, see me at the bust station?” please, say yes, and do so. I wanna be with you all this years, hope my prayers will come true.

“ I'll be there before you know it. (wink!)”  ugh. Thank you God! For lending him to me, or can you just give him to me. Joke God, kuntento na po muna ako dito. Hshshs

DYLAN TAN ***

Tinitignan kita, habang naka ngiti ka sa iba. Nope! Hindi ako mag dradramatic sentiment, pero hindi ko rin masasabi agad sayo kung anong pakiramdam ito Farra.

“So?” Farra said, hindi talaga siya yung tipong snob or pabibo o pakitang tao. Hys eto na naman ako, laging napapansin maganda sa katauhan mo.

“I'm just thinking, bakit halos lahat sa batch natin kilala mo, kilala ka? Pag tinitignan kita napaka low profile, low key ka naman. No offence ha.” shemss bakit ba yun naisip kong sabihin, Dylan what are you doing!!!

She smiled — my heart skip a bit
“ no reason at all dy! I'm just what I wanna be, and maybe people like you're sees that in me. And it's good right?”

How come na may ganitong babae sa harapan ko, kung mahinang nilalang lang ako baka bumigay na ko sa mga ngiti niya. Ang dali niyang gustuhin, pero nakakatakot sumubok.

“ know what?! Malapit na vacation natin diba, Alam mo out of nowhere di ko ine expect na gugustuhin sumama ni kei sa amin. Yes, he asked me if he can come with me sa Tagaytay. Kasama ko mga cousins ko dun, and I'm just shocked as you are Dylan.” she giggle. No Farra, sobra pa sa gulat ito. Hindi yung gagawin ni kei for no reasons, hindi niya ugali yun lalo na kung pagdating kay Farra.

“ Masaya siguro kayo ka bonding? If I know, mag kaklase na kayo ni kei since Elementary, right? Na curious tuloy ako kung gaano ka— I mean kayo ka sayang kasama ng mga cousins mo?”  said softly. Sana makuha mo yung pahiwatig ko, wala pa naman akong sinubukan. But I wanna try something out now. Susugal ko na ito

“ Sa tingin ko nga, hindi eh. (she laughed) ang simple at ang kukulit lang namin, aside for trying and exploring new good things for memories ganun.” marinig ko pa lang sayo, para sakin masaya yun. And bonus pa kung makakasama kita na sana makasama ako.

“ You can come if you wanted to? May mga kubo at batis kami doon, good for group people. Mas madami mas masaya!” am I lucky? Yesss!!! I'll do my best this time.

KEI ESTEBAN ***

“ Kei can you check on this?” that was Julie, Farra's best friend and friend of mine too. I just ignore her, and look at a far. How nostalgic, kahit anong lapit ko kay Farra parang ang layo pa rin ng distansya ko sa kanya. Compared kay Dylan, so effortlessly pero hayun at napapa tawa at ngiti niya si Farra.

“ Don't restraint yourself from thinking. Baka you just over think everything is, I don't know and I don't wanna know kei. Pero Kilala ko na kayo ni Farra, ganyan din siya, and swear, ang boring niyo na talaga minsan.”  she said. Hahaha kaibigan talaga namin to, we never said anything, pero laging may laman yung sinasabi. Minsan nga naiisip ko baka nagpapanggap  na lang Tong walang alam. But I doubt it

“ am I? Baka ikaw yung nag oover think dyan ng dahil dito sa thesis natin. But I'll assure you, bago tayo mag vacation tapos to. Nga pala, sasama kaba kay Farra sa bakasyon?” and she automatically put a smile.

“ Of course kei !! My boyfriend Axel will come home ano! Wag niyo ko isali sa NBSB/NGSB niyo cause I already had my love of my life.”  like whaaat!? Paano nangyari yun??

“ yes kei. I had my boyfriend na, back when our HS graduation. Almost a year and half nanligaw sakin si axel, ang pinaka pogi sa pinsan ni Farra. (Hahahha! She laughed like a crazy so looking inlove!)

“ Ikaw yung huling taong naiisip ko na magkaka boyfriend Julie! Tapos, parang ako pa yung huling naka alam. What kind of friend are you, you meant to share with that diba.”  I mumbled.

“ Omg! Did I skip you for knowing? I'm sorry kei.”  (Hahaha, intent laughing. Talaga hindi niya sinabi sakin)

Nag e exist pa ba ako? Baka magulat na lang rin ako, may boyfriend na rin si Farra. I don't what to do! Farra, how can I get closer with you? Sana ito na yung chance ko to reach you, I love being with you Farra .
