Nandito na kami ngayon sa rooftop. Nilingon ko si Ken na nasa tabi ko na naka earphones at busy sa pinanonood nitong anime. Mga almost an hour na rin kaming nandito pero hindi parin ito nagsasalita since nakarating kami sa building. Back to his own world again.


I'm actually not bothered being with him right now because parang wala  lang din naman akong kasama. But I appreciate him being physically here with me kesa mag isa ako dito. 


That thought made me smile. I remember Justin. Sa kanya ko kasi narinig yung joke na yun.


I sighed deeply.


Naramdaman kong gumalaw ito sa tabi ko. He reached for the beer can and handed it to me. I opened it and ininom ang beer na ibinigay nito. I heard him opening a can of beer as well. It's a San Miguel Light. Kaya siguro kanina pa ako inom ng inom di parin ako tinatablan.


Tahimik lang kaming dalawang magkatabing maupo. I looked at my watch. Quarter to 12mn na.


Tumawa ako ng mapait nang maalala ko si Justin. I'm at the same place and also around this time when we had our first conversation.



Me: " Ken? " Mahinang tawag ko dito .



Nakita kong lumingon ito pero hindi nagsalita.



Me: " Imagine this scenario. You met someone who makes your heart jump whenever you're with that person. That person's smile that could stop the world." Ngumiti ako and I deeply sighed. " Frequent phone calls, chats, texts and you do couple things then suddenly it all stopped. Stopped for a reason you do not know. " Hilaw akong tumawa.



Ken: " You know what? Personally hindi ako yung tipong gumagawa ng ganun. Hook up is hook up. Ayokong mag effort to get into someone's pants. If there's a sexual tension and you both know that then go. If wala , then wala din. End of story. " Kibit balikat na sabi niya " Madali naman akong kausap " Dugtong nito.



Me: " Oh yeah... I forgot you're not into relationships thingy " Maikling sagot ko habang nakatanaw lang sa malayo.



Ken: " I'm not saying I'm not into relationships. Sabihin nalang nating  wala pa talaga akong nakikitang nakapag papukaw ng interest ko ."
