- Please meet me in the tambayan. I have to tell you something. :-)
Pagkabasa noon ay mabilis pa sa kidlat syang umakyat pataas. He had this gut feeling that something is wrong with Karylle. Iba ang pakiramdam nya ngayon. Well, everytime Karylle have a big problem, eto ang nararamdaman nya. Kahapon pa nya hindi matawagan ang 'kaibigan' at iba na ang nararamdaman nya. Kahit sina Anne at ang iba pa nitong mga kaibigan, hindi na rin sya nakausap simula noong August 20.
"Karylle, hindi ako makakarating ngayong huh?"
"Bakit naman Peter?"
"Me and Soleen need to talk. She texted me na may sasabihin daw sya sa akin ngayon! Baka about sa feelings nya sa akin?"
"Pero---" Napahinto sya dahil narinig na nya ang pamilyar na boses na iyon.
"Peter! You're too early for this date! You're so madaya like, I just woke up when you called me na andito ka na. Are you excited? "
"Sabi sayo Bestfriend eh. Sige. I'll hang up na! Bye! Ingat!" Walang ano ano nyang pinutol ang tawag.
"Happy five years of friendship Best." Malungkot na sambit ng dalaga habang tinitigan ang mga pagkaing inihanda nya para sa naturang okasyon.
Kinakabahan si Peter nang maalala ang gabing iyon. That night that he just ignored his 'bestfriend' para lang sa isang babae. Lalo pa syang kinabahan ng makita ang note na iyon sa pinto ng dalaga.
Mahal kita. :) :( ❤
Tuloy ka sa puso ko? Kahit ngayon lang.
He holds the door knob. He took a deep breath. His hand was shaking. He then, slowly opened the door. His blinding tears are slowly falling upon his cheeks as he saw her who was wearing a simple t-shirt and blue pajama pants, stood in front of the glass window with her back to him, staring outside.
"Karylle ikaw ba yan?"
"Wag kang lilingon hanggang hindi mo pa napapanood ang mga katangahan ko noon.. Just sit and it will play automatically."
After hearing what she said, Peter took a slow steps to get inside and just seat on the couch staring at the TV, waiting for the video to play.
Ilang minuto pa ay nagsimula na ang video. Nag- play sa may screen ang mukha nya na nakikipagtalo sa isang saleswoman. Si Karylle naman na kumukuha ng video e tawang tawa habang pinapanood pa rin ang pagaaway ng dalawa.
"Shut this down! Karylle!" He yelled and ran towards the camera. The screen went black and they were scuffling sounds until the screen jumped to another scenario.
Nakangisi si Karylle habang kinukuhanan si Peter ng video. Lalo pa nyang inilapit ito sa mukha ng binata hanggang sa makita na ang mga uling, baby powder at mga cake na nakapahid sa mukha ni Peter.
"Happy Anniversary Best! Gift ko na yan huh! Mahal din yan!" Karylle claimed habang pinaglalaruan ang inis na mukha ng bestfriend.
In real life, Peter can't help himself. Tears dripped into his fist until bumaba iyon sa sahig. His lips trembled and a small cry escaped his throat.
"Here we go!" Lumapit si Billy kila Peter and Karylle, may hawak na kwitis at itinapat ito sa dalawa na parang mic. "10 seconds na lang, 2015 na! Any wish for each other?" She chuckled as she looked at the sky.
