Wishing, Alois |√

6th Bloom

"Alois! Seriously?! Nung isang araw lang, you made me become a tomboy for going with you playing skates, tapos ngayon, heto naman, trying to make me anemic?! Niloloko mo na yata ako eh."

"What?.. What's wrong going in Amusement Park? Driving the rides is exciting! Don't you loving it? At isa pa, this ones part of my steps for you. Besides, the last time I checked.. Your enjoying."

"Tsk! Damn crazy plans. Whatever!" Out of frustrations, nataas ko nalang ang dalawang kamay ko sa ere, yet no choice at sabayan nalang din siya sa trip niya na ngayon ay nauna pang naglakad sa'kin.

For pete's sake Lian! That's your fault still, for falling on his trap. I thought.

=FLASHBACK=

"Li~~ look what I've got?!"

I was currently in the library revising my feasibility on my laptop when Alois, obviously interrupted me.

"Not now Alois, I'm busy." Still concentrating on my work.

"Don't you wan't to know about it?" He made that puppy face crazy act as my peripheral vision seen him. Right then, I roled my eyes to face him.

"Not interested." Saka iniwas ulit ang tingin sa kanya at binalik ang atensyon sa tinatrabaho.

Nangibit balikat siya bago nagsalita ulit. "Okay then, at least hear me out." So as he started.

Hindi nako nakipagtalo sa kanya, kasi kahit anong dahilan naman ang sasabihin ko, kukulitin at kukulitin parin niya ko. So basically, I don't have a choice either.

I bound myself not to mind what his talking about and just only focus on what I am doing, pero isang sinabi niya ang nakakuha ng atensyon ko. Unfortunately.

"What the?! Seryoso ka ba sa pinaggagawa mo Lois? That's crazy!" Napalakas yata ang boses ko, dahilan para mapatingin ang ilang estudyante sa'kin, pati ang librarian ay nakitaan ko ng pagbabanta.

I bowed myself to hide my embarassment as I look at him again with a sterning eyes.

His chuckle was almost a whisper, yet enough for me to hear it. "What's wrong with my steps? Sabi mo nga gusto mong magkaroon nito, tapos ngayon, aayaw ka? Bipolar karin pala eh."

"Tsk. Ewan ko sayo Alois. Tigilan mo nga ako sa trip mong 'yan. Huwag mo kong istorbuhin, may ginagawa ako." As I nag almost a whisper too.

"Hey, I never disturb you? Sabi ko lang namang hear me out, ikaw kaya naunang nagtanong." Mapaglaro niyang sambit.

"Shut up." And theirs my stern look again on him.

Pero ang ewan, hindi talaga ako tinantanan, at kaysa makinig sa'kin ay pinagpatuloy pa talaga ang mga trip niya.

I encouraged myself again to focus on what I'm doing. Pero lintek lang ang walang ganti! Di sumasabay ang utak ko sa aking sinasabi, the next thing I know, I put my both hands on my ears, as I frustratingly face him wearing his playful smile.

"Fine! If you really want me to know about that, then not here. Dun tayo sa labas. Tsk. Nakakairita ka na talaga. Know what?" Tinigil ko muna ang sasabihin as I face him while fixing my things.

"What?" Still in his playful aura.

"I'm starting to doubt that your actually a bad influence on me. Congratulations by the way."sarkastiko kong sambit

"Aww.. What a compliment their my flower. How flattering." As he chuckled again.

"Urghh! Now I'm starting to hate you. Ang kulit mo talaga~" saka ako naunang lumbas ng library,while he in other hand, followed me.

"Now, what?!" I put my things on the campus vacant table as I face him on my back.

Little did I know, ang lapit pala ng distansya niya sa'kin, and so I caught offguard as I have no choice facing him still on his smiles.

"If only I knew you were this cute when nagging, sana pala kinulit na kita ng kinulit." He playfully pinched my nose as I become dumbfounded by his actions.

"So now, let's discuss the first step for you to feel Alzheimer."

You heard it right.. That's what he made. Steps on how to make me feel Alzheimer.

Sana nga lang gumana. I hope do so. Sana nga.

=FLASHBACK ENDS=

And that's the reason why he keep on accompanying me with his well- I-don't-know-lame-steps. Tsk.

So here we are, trying to make me feel Alzheimer by his first step.

"Experience life with a stranger."

Kesyo nga daw, stranger parin naman ang turing ko sa kanya, kaya nagprisenta na ang psycho. Tsk.

What a crazy man he is. Yet, by his presence. I must admit that...

I can actually still feel someone whom I can lean on with.
