#TCS31: What Is Happening?

I stopped in my track when I heard that name. My head pounded and my heartbeat doubled. It felt like my world stopped yet everything's spinning. My breathing slowly became loud, it felt like I could hear it inside my ears.

"Hey?"

"Silhouette?"

"Okay ka lang?"

I don't know what's going on. It's like I'm trapped inside a massive glass. I couldn't hear anything aside from my own system, I couldn't recognize people, everything was blurry. There's an inaudible sound... however, it is distinct.

"Silhouette?"

"Silhoue?"

Inside the bright glass cage, there was one shadow. I slowly walked towards it. I saw his hand—I could see his palm... wanting to reach me. I grabbed it without thinking, and suddenly he was inside the white blinding glass cage I was trapped in.

"Let's go?" His opaque face suddenly became clear and vivid.

"Akakios?" Mahinang bulong ko sa pangalan n'ya. Napatitig ako sa kulay itim n'yang mga mata. Nanliit ang mga iyon dahil sa isang malawak na ngiti. Naramdaman ko 'yung mahigpit na hawak n'ya sa mga kamay ko.

I looked at it and shifted my gaze back at him.

"Silhoue?" And with that name, with that word, I was back to reality.

Ang daming tao sa paligid namin. May ilan na tinitingnan kami, at 'yung iba naman ay dinadaanan lang kami. The world was moving again, and I... I felt... okay.

Napangiti ako kay Akakios. "Pasensya na..." I murmured, instead of questioning why I suddenly became like that, he offered me a smile and slowly pulled me inside the store. Hinayaan ko s'ya na madala ako sa loob.

Dumiretso kami sa kuhaan ng cart. He gave me one cart and he got one himself. I didn't even notice how he did it so fast but he did not let go of my hand because I was holding his hand so tight.

He entered the blinding lights. He entered my cage. He pulled me out without breaking it. He... just did effortlessly.

"May bayad din ba rito?" Tanong n'ya sa 'kin habang tinititigan ko lang s'ya. He looked like he was shy because he's naïve with these things, instead of being creeped out or judging him by his naivety, I smiled at him and nodded.

"Anong ginagawa rito?" He asked curiously observing the people around us.

"Hindi mo alam?" He nodded fast like a small kid. I chuckled, this man... such a cute being.

"Pero alam mo na kukuha kaagad ng cart?" I added jokingly looking suspicious at him.

He pointed people who are entering the store. "Nakuha rin kasi sila. Kailangan yata nito para makapasok do'n?" Sabi n'ya naman sabay turo sa may mismong entrance na may mga bakal sa grocery.

I laughed at him lightly. "Pwede namang kailangan mo, pero pwede namang hindi." I explained at him, and pushed my cart to return it. Sinundan ni Akakios ang ginawa ko na para bang minemomorya n'ya bawat kilos ko.

I seriously want to hide him from the world. He's just... so cute.

"Now, let's go!" I stated looking at him with a beam, he gave me his kid like nod. Tinulak ko gamit ang isang kamay 'yung cart at gano'n din ang ginawa n'ya. I could let go of his hand... I could... but I don't want to...
