Nagising ako sa liwanag na tumatama sa mata ko. The very first thing that I did was to check the bed. I was alone, no Mayumi in the bed. I felt so refreshed, trying to remember what happened last night and I was smiling. Door swung and Mayumi entered with a tray full of food.
“Good morning sunshine.”Bati nito sa akin. She is now wearing a plain white big shirt. Bumangon ako and sat on the bed, trying to get the tray from her. I motioned her to sit beside me but she refused. She went straight sa sliding door ng room niya, and just staring on the sunny bright city.
Bumangon ako at niyakap ko siya from behind. She rested her head into my chest. It was so serene, I was kinda shocked not to feel any lust. I could only feel serenity, this has brought the questions I was thinking last night. Medyo naguluhan ako sa sarili, but readily dismissed the thought. She told me to eat the breakfast she prepared and asked me to accompany her sa Tagaytay. I needed to get home first to change my outfit.
It was two in the afternoon when we started our journey to Tagaytay. I was so impressed with her get up, babaeng babae sa outfit niya, yellow flowery dress, just an inch above the knee and stilettos. Nag tour kami sa puzzle museum, overlooking sa Skyranch and headed to Casa Ibarra for dinner. She was bubbly, its just I feel there is something different in the air. Di ko maintindihan kung ano yun, until we had our talk, a serious talk.
“I hope you enjoyed my company for the day, Anj.” panimula niya.
“Of course I do, May. Super enjoyed. Look at the smile on my face.” sabi ko sa kanya.
“That is sooo Joker you know. Why so serious? Let’s put a smile on that face.”at tawa siya ng tawa habang ginagaya niya si Heath Ledger.
“I like that movie. Actually one of my fav lines sa any movies.” sabi ko sa kanya. There was a long silence between us after that. Tinitigan ko siya to see what is happening. To my surprise, she was looking straight to me and smiling.
“I never had this kind of excitement, enjoyment, happiness before. I don’t know, what is it, but I am pretty damn sure that I feel good and happy.” panimula niya. I didn’t know how to respond to it. Kinabahan ako, na excite. This is sooo highschool. Fcuk. She continued to talk.
“I enjoyed everything the last days and weeks. Pero sabi nga nila, there are things that must end.”
“What do you mean?”
