The Psychometric's Girl ( Mind Series #1 )

Chapter 4: BirthDATE?

LILY

I woke up late dahil today naman is weekends and today is my birthday. Kinuha ko agad ang phone ko at tiningnan ang messages. At hindi ako nag kamali, binati nya ako.

~Mystery Texter~
"Happy Birthday Miss Beautiful!"

~Claide~
"Happy Birthday Lily! See you later at 11."

I replied. "Sa tricycle terminal nalang tayo mag kita."

"Okay, see you later."

And then humiga uli ako. Wala naman sigurong masama kung sumama ako sa kanya ngayon diba? I mean, ni hindi na nga ako binabati ng happy birthday ng mga magulang ko dito eh. Siya lang at saka yung mystery texter na yun ang bumati sa akin.

Speaking of mystery texter, pano nya nalaman na birthday ko ngayon? Stalker talaga yun eh.

Bumangon na ako at naghanap ng damit na isusuot ko, Aish, formal ba dapat? Semi- formal lang? Kahit ano nalang.

FEW hours had passed at lumabas na din ako ng bahay namin. Sabi ko mamasyal lang qko, at mukhang wala naman silang pakialam kaya umalis nako. Sa ngayon nandito na ako sa terminal at hinihintay sya. 10:50 palamg naman kaya okay lang din na mag hintay ako.

Kinuha ko ang earphones ko and I started playing a music sa phone ko.

Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes
But it's the only thing that I know
When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes
It is the only thing makes us feel alive

Oh this is my favorite song. Ngayon ko nalang uli to napakinggan.

We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
And time's forever frozen, still

Wala namang tao. Sasabayan ko muna tong kanta.

So you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home.

"Beautiful voice."

"Claide? Kanina kapa?"

"Yeah" Tapps binuksan nya ang pinto ng kotse nya.
I was shocked dahil parehas ang kanta na natugtog sa kotse at sa cellphone ko.

Loving can heal, loving can mend your soul
And it's the only thing that I know, know
I swear it will get easier
Remember that with every piece of ya
Hmm, and it's the only thing we take with us when we die

"Coincidence right?"

"M-maybe?"

"Get in, I have a surprise for you."

Hmm, we keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts were never broken
And time's forever frozen, still

"Pasan tayo?"

"Secret." And then he smiled.

So you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet
You won't ever be alone

"Baka naman kung saan moko dalhin. Ala ayoko na."

He chuckled. "Silly, I won't hurt you. And besides, you're my only friend, I should better take care of you." And then he smiled.
