Flower Hyacinth

I have come back. Finally.

That's the thought I never expected to come. So long I realize that is finally. Cause the moment he had his first word and the moment I have lay my eyes on my last fan. I know to well who it's him.

He have grown enough as much as his tito thus. And I am pleased that I was one part of his journey then.

"Kristoffer."

That one word is best described, as he genuinely smiled only as he answers mine.
"Long time no see, tita." sagot pa nito.

So as I playfully smiled back before he could put the published book of mine.

"So you were my fan already huh?" saka mumunting tawa ang maririnig sa'kin. Di rin naman ako nabigo na marinig ang kanya.

"Fine. I'll take that as a compliment then." as he chuckled again.

Pinagmasdan ko pa siya bago nagsalita ulit. "How are you, Kristoffer?" wika ko na kasabay din sa pagkatigil niya sa mumunting tawa.

"G-good! I'm good tita." pormal niyang sagot as he only brought his hands to his pockets.

"It's good to hear." isang sulyap pa sa kanya ang ginawa ko, bago ko pinagdesisyunang pirmahan ang dala niyang libro ko.

"Let me guess? This isn't yours, right?" prenteng tanong ko as I hand the book back on him.

Di naman ako nabigo when I confirmed that it really isn't his ng di siya sumagot at mas piniling mapakamot na lamang sa sariling batok matapos tanggapin ang libro galing sa'kin.

Kaya't taas-noo ulit akong nagtanong as I clasped my hands, waring handa naring kilatisin ang bawat sagot niya.

"Correct me if I'm wrong." saka ko pa mas inayos ang aking pagkaupo at mas lumapit sa kanya.

"It's a favor, isn't it?" dagdag kong bulong na sapat lang rin para marinig niya. Kaya naman napayuko na siya at mas napakamot nalang ulit sa batok, waring nahiya na.

"W-well. Uhm, k-kinda ti--"

Sagot pa niya na di natapos ng lumapit ang sekretarya ko. "Excuse me, Ma'am. I'm sorry to interrupt. Pero kasi 'yung coordinator niyong pinsan nag-aalburuto na po." birong wika nito na nakasanayan ko na rin, as I rolled my eyes for sarcasm.

"Urgh. Clyd as ever. Yung bakla talagang 'yun." tumayo ako at aalis na sana ng napagtantong nandito pa pala si Kristoffer at pawang naghihintay lamang sa aming matapos.

"By the way Maldives. Please accompany my fan here for a second. Pati narin ang mga kasama niya. Bring them on my table." utos ko pa dito.

"Oki dokey! No problem Ma'am." her mischievous reply, saka na nga ako bumaling kay Kristoffer na nagulat pa ata sa aking sinabi.

"May kakausapin lang ako. Then I'll be back. Maghintay lang muna kayo sandali." wika ko pa dito na agaran lang rin akong tinanguan. So as I headed ahead on my crazy cousin.
