Unmasking The Waves Deception

The pristine water is crashing the shores. The water was gentle as I waded through it, the sun is like a yellow paint on a blue canvas.

We were siting side by side, the silence was surrounding the both of us. I let the waves touched my toes.

Sa muli kong pagsulyap kay Wave ay nakita kong nakatitig sya sa dagat at walang-imik.

I slowly crawled to get near him and cleared my throat.

Lumingon sya at kaagad naman akong ngumiti roon at inilahad sa kanya ang gummy bears na kanina ay ibinigay nya sa akin.

"You like?" I asked and smiled, staring at his eyes. "Uhm, this is my happy pill. Kapag malungkot ako kakain lang ako ng gummies tapos happy na ako. I am hoping na ikaw din."

I saw his lips lifted, he tilted his head to stare at me briefly before speaking.

"Feed me?" He asked.

I nodded. Kumuha ako ng gummy at iniawang sa labi nya at napangisi nang kainin nya iyon bago ngumiti ng maliit.

"Are you happy now?" I asked.

"Hindi naman ako malungkot," He chuckled huskily and I pouted.

"I knew you're sad," I said. "Your smile didn't reached your eyes. Don't fool me, Wave."

He licked his lip. Ipinatong nya ang kanyang kamay sa buhangin bago ako mulinb sulyapan.

"Life's never good to me, anyway." He said and closed his eyes. I saw his hair being touched by the wind, it dearranges even more, making him look more edible.

"How can you say that?" I asked. "You were everyone's favorite, Wave."

"Hmm, fame would never make me happy." He whispered. "Sobrang sikip minsan, nahihirapan na akong makahinga. I'm scared the media would ruin everything that's already ruined."

"Huh?" I blinked.

"My life's not like those typical celebrities, Zire." I saw a glint of sadness on his eyes. "If they have it great then I had it worst."

"Why?" I asked. "If you mind, ayos lang kung hindi mo sabihin..."

"I have a lots of secrets, Zire." Aniya at nilingon ako. "Baka kapag nalaman mo, miski ikaw hindi na ako matignan."

"How can you say that?" My forehead creased. "Ako ba ikaw?"

"I'll never know," Aniya at saglit akong nilingon. "Mahirap...mahirap magsabi, I might lose more things."

"Wave..." I called him. "Diba sabi ko sa'yo, gusto kong makipagkaibigan? Accept me, tapos promise, pwede mo akong mapagkatiwalaan."

"Friends don't kiss, Zirena." Aniya at natawa.

"H-Hoy! Ikaw nga ang nag-kiss sakin!" I hissed and smack his arm.

"Because you're seducing me!" He said and chuckled. "You can't expect me to behave if you'll let me kiss you."

"Huh!" Sinamaan ko sya ng tingin. I shifted my position kaya ngayon ay nakaharap na ako sa kanya at nag-indian seat at humalukipkip.

"So kapag may gustong magpahalik, hahalikan mo nalang?!" I hissed, annoyed.

Nilingon nya ako, I saw how amusement filled on his eyes as he stared at me.

"Well," Ngisi nya. I groaned, pinagpapalo ko ang braso nya at tumawa lang sya at inabot ang kamay ko. "I was just kidding,"

"Playboy ka 'no! Paano kapag may fan na gustong magpakiss! Ano hahalikan mo lang?!"

Ngumisi sya at tinaasan ako ng kilay.
