Naging tahimik ang hapunan sa pagitan namin. As much as I wanted to talk I don’t know how to start. Nakatingin lang ito sa akin na tila nananantiya.
"Are you sure you’re fine?"
Iyon ang naging unang mga salita na lumabas sa bibig nito sa gabing iyon. Paakyat na ako ng hagdan dahil tapos na kaming kumain at maayos na rin ang mesa habang siya ay naroon pa rin sa tabi ng mesa, nakapamulsa ang dalawang kamay at tila nag-iisip ng malalim.
It was an awkward night with the man I like. I can't believe I’ll like someone that fast. More or less two weeks? For real? Or maybe even on the first day I saw him, I already feel this way towards Teron. I was just scared to admit or not really sure how to define it.
"I’m f-fine. Good night."
Nilingon ko ito at ang mga mata niya’y tila sinusuri ako. Umiw
