You Made Me Feel Safe

The Concert

We're on our way home. Napanatag kasi si mom sa advice ni Glaiza para naman hindi gaanong mahal ang gastos namin. Isang araw lang naka ten-thousand agad kami, sa mahal na rin daw ng gamot.

Glaiza told me about herself, she was a performer, twenty-eight years old. And told me her love for music. I was impressed and at the same time proud that I've known a person like her. I wonder if she had a boyfriend?

My reverie was interrupted when my phone rang.

I look at the name of the caller, its Liam. My EX-BOYFRIEND. I just screw him up. Well, I really don't like him sa una pa lang. Nasilaw niya lang ako sa mga paporma at pambobola nya at biruin mo nagawa pang makipagdate sa iba? And wow! ang chaka ng pinalit sakin. Sa ganda kong 'to nagawa pa kong gawing reserba.

I shut my phone off. But out of my curiosity, I checked Glaiza's twitter.

Glaiza Galura

There were a hundered account named Glaiza Galura Babies, Glaizaholics, Glaizadreamers, Glaizafandom, Glaizadreamers, and Davaoeño, all over the country and even international countries

Woooooooow!

I can't say anything, just wow!

Sikat pala siya. Napakaswerte ko naman na isa ako sa naging kaibigan nya.

"Sobrang sikat naman pala ni Glaiza 'no? Pero di mo mahahalata sa unang kita mo sa kanya, para lang siyang simple at mabait na bata."

Nakakagulat naman 'tong si mom. Pinagmamasdan nya pala mga ginagawa ko.

"Di na rin nakakapagtaka na may mga bashers pa rin na inggit na inggit sa kanya." Pahabol nya.

"Kung alam lang nila kung sino siya, siguradong hahangaan nila sya." I said a matter-of-fact.

Sa pagpapatuloy kong pagscroll, nahanap ko din ang real account nya. I followed her.

"Ang swerte ng boyfriend niya."

"I know, mom."

"Yeah, you're jealous."

Instead of answering, I shook my head.

Fvck. I'm not.

Am I?

And a message popped up on my phone. The management.

They were asking 'bout me since hindi sila nakapunta yesterday. I told 'em na sumasakit pa din and tyan ko. And that aabutin 'to ng 1-3 days bago tuluyang maging okay ako.

Pagdating namin sa bahay, dumeretso na 'ko sa kwarto ko para magpahinga. Mom told me to rest. The team said they were giving me a week para naman makapagpahinga ko. Thank goodness.

I laid my back in bed and closed my eyes. I'll take a nap sana when my phone beeped, I forgot to off my cellular data.

When I opened my phone, there was a message from Glaiza.

"Hey, I saw you followed me. Thankies! I did the same thing. Wow! You had a million followers!"

"How are you feeling, honey?"

Its a few minutes sent.

I started typing...

"Katawan ko kasi puhunan ko, joke! Ganda pala. But thanks hehehe ...."

"I'm getting better. Salamat ng madami sa fruits ha. XOXO."
