I really have no intention of bringing that topic up.. I’m really surprised that he himself has to open it up. Well, too bad, since I badly need to go home that time. If only we’ve met up earlier, perhaps we’ve talked about it more.
Unforgettable conversation:
~This is after sharing his story about him being a war freak after debating with the INK person in Gateway mall who gives out flyers:
CFB: Buti nalang hindi ako napili mo. Kasi warfreak ako…
ME: Ano ka ba.. Hindi naman eh.. (I know that you are not warfreak. You look as though you are really rebellious, but I know deep inside me that you’re not…)
~This is after telling me why he hates INK so much… Just so you know, we broke up because of the fact that we differ in religion, and he thought that I’m one of those whom he really hates. (Just a theory, because after discussing stuffs about INK beliefs and stuffs, he just muttered these words automatically, without me opening it up….)
CFB: Lasing ata ako ‘nun..
ME: ‘Nung alin?
CFB: ‘Nung nangyari yun..
ME: Yung ano?
CFB: Wala yun!
ME: Yung ano nga?
CFB: ‘Nung third year… ‘Nung tumawag ako sa inyo..
ME: Ah yun ba? Lasing ka ‘nun?
CFB: Naaalala mo pa ba? Sa totoo lang, hindi ako ‘yun eh.
ME: Hindi ikaw, eh ka-boses mo..
CFB: Oo, hindi ako ‘yun. Kaibigan ko yun. Sya talaga pinili kong tumawag kasi ka-boses ko sya. Naalala mo ba nung marami kang tanong na hindi nya masagot? Yung pangalawang tawag, ako na talaga yun.
ME: Ah… Ok… Ok lang… (Dedma nalang daw… but it hurts still… )
I really am surprised; I’m not expecting these words to come out of his mouth automatically.. I don’t know what to say either.. I want to hug him and say "Gago ka, hindi na nga tayo halos nagkita sa isang buong taon na yun, tapos ganon pa ginawa mo sa akin." I want to hold his hand and say "Sayang, sana hindi ako nag-give up that time, siguro tayo pa until now.." I want to kiss him, and say, "Thank you, at least nagawa mo akong kausapin kahit hindi na tayo.." Yet, in the end, I only said, "Parang gusto kong sumama sa SM… Ay, may FX na, sige uwi na ako.." Haaayy…. I have to do that, before you see something sparkling in my eyes…
Kung nababasa mo ito, I want you to know na sana, I could somehow see you again; spend time with you, malling or what not, since those are the things that we haven’t tried doing ‘nung tayo pa. All of the people in the campus believed that we do communicate when you transferred to other school, but the fact is that, we don’t even have a chance to talk over the phone. We have just seen each other after ‘nung concert ng Rivermaya sa school (when it’s still Bamboo singing for them).. and, nung party ko before graduation day.. (And yes, hindi tayo third year nung nagbreak up.. That’s when we’re fourth year na…)
Thanks for the time by the way.. Hoping that we could eat shawarma together again.. Hoping we could share each other’s stories… Hoping we could at least, be friends…. Kahit friends na lang….
Thanks for not being the "war freak" you ‘nung tayo pa… Thanks for being a gentleman still. I miss you, and I hope I could see you not just once, but as though we’re regular friends…
