BELLE
SA MURANG edad, alam ko na ang ibig sabihin ng figurative language na "butterflies in the stomach". Ni hindi ko kinailangang magbasa ng mga romance pocket books para maintindihan 'yon.
It came to me naturally.
And I can't even remove my eyes from my childhood bestfriend that made me feel that way.
"Tara?" Isinabit niya na ang kaniyang backpack sa kaliwa niyang balikat. My eyes kept staring at Tofer's face, watching even the tiniest droplet of sweat that fell on the side of his forehead.
Sino ba namang hindi magkakagusto sa kaniya? Even his fans go crazy for him—and they just bearly see him in their lives. Paano pa kaya akong literal na araw-araw na kasama ang poging artisang 'to?
"Belle, ano, tara na?" ulit niya dahilan para maputol ang pagkatulala ko.
"H-ha? Ah, oo, tara..." Agad ko na ring kinuha ang backpack ko't sumunod na sa kaniya palabas ng classroom.
Sabay kaming naglakad papunta sa gate hanggang sa tuluyan na kaming makalabas ng campus. I badly want to spark a conversation with him but he's busy smiling at those people that greet him in the hallway. Halos lahat ng taong nakakasalamuha namin, binabati siya at nagpapa-picture.
It was nothing new to me. Sa tuwing magkasama kami ni Tofer, lalo na sa mga matataong lugar like the school, he often gets all the attention from the surrounding and, on the other hand, I just end up losing his.
Nakarating kami sa entrance ng Wilton Campus kung saan may rotonda at fountain. Near it is a long waiting shed for students who's waiting to be picked up or wanting to commute home. Marami rin namang mga taxi at tricycle ang umiikot-ikot sa rotonda para maghanap ng pasahero.
A lot of people were carrying umbrellas already. Hindi pa naman umuulan pero ang kapal na ng mga itim na ulam sa langit.
"So pwede mo na ba akong sabihan sa reason?" rinig kong usal niya.
I turned to him and furrowed my eyebrows. "Anong reason?"
"This." He shrugged his shoulders. "Why do we have to commute? Tsaka sa'n ba kasi tayo pupunta?"
That also made me question myself. Ba't ko nga ba naisipang pag-commutin kaming dalawa? I mean, yes, I'm planning to bring him somwhere tonight pero pwede naman kaming magpahatid sa driver namin o driver nila.
"Basta," sagot ko na lang kasi hindi ko talaga alam kung bakit. Maybe, I did it for privacy?
"Sus, ikaw ha! May crush ka sa 'kin 'no? Magde-date ba tayo huh, Belle?" he joked them laughed. Napalo ko tuloy siya do'n. "Aray ano ba! Biro lang eh!"
