Chapter 27

She made me fall in love with silence.

Without the need to utter words, our souls speak—Collided, made some rhythm like some new bunch sort of chords.

Hindi ko mapigilang ngumiti nang tumingin sa kaniya. Bored na 'ko kakanood ng movies sa tv, but to watch her won't makes me feel that way.

It's been four hours simula no'ng bumiyahe kami, ang sabi niya ilang minuto na lang makakarating na kami sa villa nila, but here we are, nasa byahe pa rin. Hindi ako kinikibo ni Audy simula no'ng kumain kami. Hindi ko mapigilan na ma-miss ang kasungitan niya kahit na ilang oras o minuto lang na hindi na niya ako pinapansin.

Masyado siyang abala sa magazines na para bang isa itong important documents. Pasimple akong umusog palapit, nang makita na wala itong effect ay ginawa ko ulit until our body touched.

"Ma'am," she hummed, hindi pa rin lumilingon. "Ma'am may sasabihin ako. . ." kinalabit ko siya. "Ma'am naman e!" Invisible na ba ulit ako?

"Just say it." Nag-flip siya ng page.

"E gusto ko lumingon ka." She sighed heavily at lumingon sa 'kin.

I flashed my sweetest smile, her eyes lustre. "Ang ganda mo. . ." umirap siya at umiling, namula ang pisngi niya.

May ngiti ring namuo sa labi niya.

"Kinikilig siya." I giggled, mas namula ang pisngi pati na rin ang tenga nitlya.

"I'm not." Hindi na niya ulit ako pinansin.

Sumandal na lang ako sa inuupan. We all have a hundred percent chance to die in any moment, and in every seconds of our lives, at dahil do'n ay hindi ko mapigilan na mapaisip.

If ever man that the time will come where I'll lose her, or she'll lose me, what are the things that will remind us of each other? Ako kasi each time I smell vanilla, and I stare at something that feels warm, it would remind me of her in an instant.

"Audy, I wanna tell you something again," I said, quite ecstatic. "If there's a chance that one day, something happened, and you'll lose me. . ."

"I want you to stare at the sea," dahan-dahan siyang lumingon sa 'kin. "'Cause I want you to remember me by staring at those."

"Why?" She asked, clearly confused.

"'Cause at the bottom of it is bikini bottom," I chuckled. Tinignan niya 'ko ng masama. "De joke lang galit agad."

"Why?" She arched her brow.

"Our connection. . . It feels like a sea, it is risky yet warm, comfortable, smells chaotic but fun."

"Why would I lose you?"

Natigilan ako. I couldn't help but gulp when her eyes got filled with so much emotion.

"I don't know?" I pulled out a downward smile. "Maybe there's a situation that you know? Fvcked up and it ruins everything."

I refer to the promise Kale told me last interview that until now I have no idea about.

"Audy, what's the thing that reminds you of me?"

"Nothing."

"Ah gano'n ba? Okay." Payak na sabi ko, kumurba ang gilid ng labi niya.

"Rainbow,"

"Why? Because I'm gay?" Natawa siya.

"Nobody thought it's needed, but once it appeared. . ."

"Once it appeared?" I trailed off, it seems like she can't finish her words.

"The gloomy emotions during the rain," she inhaled. "Suddenly seems to disappear."
