"A Better Place"
by Rachel Platten♪ I see the whole world in your eyes
It's like I've known you all my life
We just feel so right
So I pour my heart into your hands
It's like you really understand
You love the way I am
It's a better place since you came along ♫🧳🧳🧳🧳
Damn this connection!
"Hello?" tanong ko ulit. "Hello, Andy?"
Our cameras freeze. I cannot hear any sound from his line too. Pero kahit na ganoon, I had a brief opportunity na matitigan siya sa screen bago pa man tuluyang maputol ang connection namin.
He was infront of me, right in my laptop screen. Pero saglit ko lang siyang napagmasdan. Gusto kong tumili nang malakas! Kailangan kong pakawalan ang kilig na nararamdaman ko ngayon kung hindi sasabog ang dibbid ko, at baka hindi ko na iyon mapigilan pa kapag kaharap ko na siya ulit.
He's wearing a gray hoodie sweater and black headset over her tousled, brunet hair. Medyo nakakunot nga lang and kanyang noo, siguro dahil nga sa hindi magandang connection namin.
I want to stand up for a sec. I feel like I'm panting. I want an open area to breathe.
Siyang biglang tunog na naman ng tawag sa Skype. He's calling again.
Relax, Sophie. Breathe in, breathe out. Again, breathe in, breathe out.
Bumalik ako sa kama ko at umupo in an indian sitting position, kandong ang unan ko at ang nakapatong na laptop doon. Sinuot kong muli ang headset dahil ito na, I'll be answering his Skype call again.
Pagkapindot ko ay saglit na tumahimik ang aming linya. Unti-unti, and itim na screen na kinapupwestuhan ng video ay nagpalabas na ng imahe. From a blurry image ay mabilis din itong luminaw, and finally, his live video appears.
I swallow hard. I clear my throat and try to make my voice sound even.
"Hello, Andy..." My fingers tighten their grip to the headset as I hear him speak.
"Hi there, Sophia..."
Oh, sweet lord!
"Sophia, can you hear me?"
