Strings Of Perfection

Tang ina, anong klaseng typings 'to? Parang mystery na kailangan kong hanapan ng sagot ah? Kahit yata ibigay ko ang lahat-lahat ko, hindi ko pa rin siya maintindihan.

I had to reread it like 3 times, pero parang naubos na ang utak ko sa kaka-translate.

step one: place the sewing machine on a stable surface.

step two: piliin mo ako.

Primaly
Kahit ikaw lang ang nasa option, Kai, hindi kita pipiliin.

I couldn't help but laugh. 'yan, gusto ko 'yan. Yung hindi lang ako ang may fcksht na love life. Samahan niyo ako, ulol. Walang magiging masaya hangga't hindi ako masaya. Oo na, I'm damn selfish, deal with it.

Halos lahat ng comments kakupalan. So, being the "nice guy" that I am, nagtipa na rin ako ng sarili kong comment. Magsasalita na ako, magiging one and only matino na ako sa mga ito niyan?

Nang ma-satisfy ako sa comment ko, agad kong ni-click ang post button.

pwede mo bang tahiin puso kong sugatan?

Kaka-comment ko pa lang, agad-agad nag-ring na ang notifications ko! Puta, kumalma kayo! Ang daming nagre-reply! Ano nanaman ang ginawa ko? May viral ba ako na di ko alam?!

I refreshed the post and their replies immediately loaded. Except for Prim's reply na "bibig mo kaya tahiin ko," lahat sila tinatag si Eliunous.

This is so embarrassing. Ako na ang nahihiya sa kanila e no. For sure, Eliunous will just ignore it---lagi naman. He's probably busy reviewing or doing something important right now. Tapos ako, disturbo lang?!

But then, a notification popped up.

Sylas Storm Eliunous replied to your comment.

King ina.

Without thinking, I dropped my phone. Fortunately, I was lying on my bed, so it didn't break.

Teka nga!

Nag-reply siya? Seryoso ba? O pinaglalaruan lang ako ng tadhana?

My heart raced, and my hands were shaking--half nervous, half embarrassed---when I finally clicked the notification.

Sylas Storm Eliunous
Let's settle this privately, baby.

I almost choked.

King ina?

I was speechless. Literal. Hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin ko.

My mouth parted as replies to Sylas' comment flooded in.

Mas pinili ko na lang na hindi mag-reply. Ano ba kasi dapat sabihin?

Instead, I clicked on his profile picture. Umarko ang isang kilay ko nang makita kong hindi na siya naka-send ng friend request sakin. Binawi? Potek. Pa-layo nang pa-layo agwat namin, ah.

As expected, his feed looked exactly like what he is in real life---puno ng school-related stuff. But what really caught my attention was his profile pic---Sylas sitting in a grass field with his knees bent. His head slightly tipped backward, and he was wearing baggy jeans and a beige long-sleeve polo.

I stared at his profile picture, feeling something stir inside me. Hindi ko alam kung ano 'yon, pero hindi ko na lang rin pinansin.

Sobrang typical na Eliunous, always looking so composed and serious kahit sa mga simpleng bagay. And yet, I couldn't stop looking at the damn photo.
