Everything was in black and white.
“Do I have to say it again?”,
nagdadalawang isip kong tanong.
“Yes. Start from the beginning,
please?”, they said.
They all gathered infront of me.
They were all ears. Eager to hear to what I have to say.
I then looked at Felix, my
boyfriend.
“Not again!”, maktol ko.
Napapikit ako. Pero kahit sa
pagpikit ko ay alam kong nakikinig sya. I saw him smile. Ikaw talaga, oh. Last
na to, ha!
I then looked at the people gathered
around me.
I gave them a bright smile.
“Sige na nga!”
I again looked at them and released a sigh.
“I’m not really good with words. Pero this was how it went.”
I again looked at Felix, he was flashing a smile at me.
Waiting. Waiting for what I have to say.
“It was that one summer. I was bored
to death so me and my friends went to go down by the beach. I was hesitant at
first, but what the hell! I still did. And yeah, I’m glad I did.”
”So I was strolling by the beach when I saw this guy over
here looking at the shells scattered all over by the bay. In which I later
found out he was very fond of.”
I looked at Felix then released a chuckle. Everyone then
smiled.
“That’s Felix alright.”, one shouted.
