Veiled Diaries #2: Mask of The Blues

I looked at the photo on our groupchat, it was a photo of Venz and Aquil with two girls on the table near the falls. I was drying my hair with towel, I sat on the couch while reading chats.

Rikz: Dude, zoom in the photo. These girls are pretty innocent.

Jacob: Yup, I zoomed in quickly. Mga probinsyana?

Rikz: Yup, they're pretty but ignorant.

Dylan: Pinopormahan na nila Aquil? Bilis, ah. Ilang taon na ba ang mga 'yan?

Rikz: 'Yon lang. Fourteen pa lang.

Rikz continued talking about them, mukhang pinopormahan ni Venz at Aquil ang dalawa. I blinked and looked at the photo again, I'm not really interested in girls but fourteen? Really? They aren't look young! I zoomed in their faces, I first saw where Venz was looking and the girl looked over sixteen already especially the next girl beside her.

Jacob: Anong pangalan niyang nasa harapan ni Aquil?

Rikz: Oh, that's Embry and the other is Clairvaux. Tatanong ko mamaya ang apelyido para ma-add.

Embry is the girl with a barrette on her hair, is she seriously fourteen or eighteen? Rikz is bluffing! Well, I'm just fifteen but I'm mistaken as more than my age always. Hindi na yata talaga imposibleng ganito ang mga bulas sa henerasyon ngayon, she looks like having a foreign blood, though. Maraming ganyan sa ibang bansa, baka nga roon siya lumaki at umuwi lang sa Villa Terrazas. I've been there every summer vacation with friends and I haven't seen these girls yet.

Ngumuso ako, photogenic lang siguro kaya maganda sa kuha ni Rikz. Jacob asked for another picture and Rikz sent more than five, he was stealing shots!

Rikz: Embry girl is really pretty in person, may dibdib na rin kahit bata pa.

Jacob: Ang ganda nga! Ipakilala mo naman ako!

Tiningnan ko lahat iyon, may parehang solo at may magkasama. Lahat stolen, tumatawa at nakangiti kila Venz habang nakikipag-usap. Clairvaux is surely pretty but not as the Embry they're talking about. The nature around fits her perfectly like she was made to give it more beautiful view. Her eyes were deep and tantalizing like she's always sleepy, lips were pinkish kissable, she got embossed nose and thick on fleek brows. I'd also like to compliment her beautiful straight long hair, I have a fetish for that!

I saved the two solo photos, I like to try her as my subject today.

Rikz: Ano, Rekta? Puro seen ka na lang? Hindi ka ba naiinggit? Balik na, ayos naman na ang Lola mo. Hahaha.

Ako: There's a lot of girls here.

Rikz: Not as thrilling as the girls here, you wouldn't enjoy the same stuff everyday. Walang bago.

Umismid ako at tinabi ang cellphone, nakita kong nakangisi si Alas habang kausap si Fricxy at ang isang lalaki sa veranda. I don't really know that boy but I think it's above our age, lumapit ako sa pinto pero hindi nagpakita. I just wanna hear what they're talking about, baka inuuto na naman ni Fricxy si Alas na makipagdate. Alas isn't really into boys but she's womanly cool that gives her charm to attract boys around without even trying.

Hindi ko na pinagpatuloy ang pakikinig, I know she's capable enough to handle herself around boys. Umakyat ako sa kuwarto at dumiretso sa study table, I'm not really good at drawing portraits but I'll try this one. Maganda naman ang subject, gaganahan akong mag-effort na magaya ang litrato.

While imagining every detail of her face gets me frustrated, baka hindi talaga ganito ang mukha niya. Kailangan kong masiguro para hindi masayang ang pagguhit ko, nasisiraan na yata ako ng ulo dahil sa kakaisip ng iba pang ekspresyon ng mukha niya na hindi ko malinaw masyado pero gustong-gusto kong maiguhit.
