----------

To feel Zoe's warmth,

To know that at least, even for a fleeting moment we're connected to each other without the need to say what my worries are.

I wish,

That our small hug--- my head resting on his chest and his head resting on mine could last longer.

Kung pwede ko lamang itong pakiusapang yakapin ako ng mas matagal ay gagawin ko, But no--- I can't do that.

Zoe thinks this is to comfort me, kaya kailangan kong mag-stick doon. This hug is just to comfort someone.

Kung mag rerequest pa ako ng higit doon ay mag tatanong lamang ito--- At hindi pa ako handang makarinig ng mga tanong na ganoon mula sa kaniya.

That's when reality strikes my head and I suddenly realize that it could be better,

I want this hug to be more than just a hug--- Instead i want it to be a warm cuddle, but my desire for this normal relationship to last is much more stronger than that.

Ayokong makaramdam ng awkwardness towards Zoe, Gusto ko yung ganito lang--- yung kaming dalawa na nagkakaintindihan sa mga simpleng gawa.

Matapos ang ilang segundong yakap yakap ako nito'y niyaya na niya ako sa kusina. He tried doing everything,

Pinaupo lamang ako nito sa upuan at siya na ang naghanda ng mga kakailanganin. Halatang nalilito pa siya kung saan kukunin ang mga utensils at kung paano dapat ilalapag sa hapag kainan.

I just sat there quietly, watching Zoe struggle with household chores that I should've done this morning.

Ang ilang hugasin na aking hindi nagawa kahapon ay wala na sa lababo, nahugasan na iyon ni Zoe st naibalik sa tamang lalagyan. Mukhang nilinis rin nito ang bawat sulok ng lababo dahil sa kakaibang kintab nito ngayon.

My eyes traveled from the clean kitchen to my unecessarily neat living room. Ngayon ko lamang napansin ang linis nito, the tiles were undeniably shining as the light from the terace radiates on it.

Ang mga unan sa sofa ay nakaayon sa kakaibang paraan, It's normally just there with a random order but today--- Talagang nakaayos ito at naka-angulo ang pagkakalagay.

The TV screen is clearly reflecting the whole living room. Napatingin naman ako sa katabing maliit na vase nito na nakalagay sa maliit na desk kung saan ko tinatago ang mga bills at resibo para sa bahay.

It's a mud coloured vase with a detailed design on the outer layer, mayroon itong tatlong piraso ng bulaklak na nakalagay. Ngayon ko lamang ito nakita at hindi ko inaasahan iyon, I've never put any flowers in my apartment.

"Zoe," I called out to his name as my eyes admire the small vase on our living room.

"Hmm? Wait, Ilalagay ko na sa table 'to." He answered me, Thinking that I was asking for food. Hindi rin siguro ako nito nilingon kaya hindi niya alam ang aking pinagmamasdan ngayon.

Instead of saying another word,

Tumayo na ako sa aking kinauupuan, hindi binabali ang tingin sa vase--- Lumapit ako dito at nag-squat sa harap nito.

My eyes can't believe what I am seeing right now.

The mud coloured vase is much more detailed in a close up look. Walang kahit anong bump ang bawat edge ng designs nito. It has a smooth surface na para bang ginawa ito ng isang machine.
