Love like a Calm Wind

Long Lost

I miss you...

He didn't wait for my response.He stood quickly and leave me clueless.He seemed mad.Ayaw niya bang may gusto ako kay Kuya Tim?Hindi naman sa gusto ko siya.Pero...

Two days have passed and I passed my assignment without his help.I felt guilty for making him mad.I'll just explain that I don't really like his friend.And I hope he'll believe me.

Two in the afternoon,I went to the library.I quite memorize his schedule.He's free in the afternoon.I nervously strutted towards his usual sit.I was about to open my mouth when my heart beats loudly with the scene.I could feel my heartbeat,it's deafening.

He's kissing a girl wildly with his eyes close.He seems to be enjoying it.There's no student around and all I could hear was the sound of their lips and sucking.

I thought my world stopped.My mind crumbles.And tears formed in my eyes.

Before he open his eyes.I turn my back and run as fast as I could.I reach the back of the school where a man is leaning on a bench.

A familiar face.How come?I was about to run when he called me.

"Bella."Gelo called coldly.

I haven't seen him for a while.No let me rephrase it.I haven't seen him after that night.He's still in the province but he never contacts me.He's suppose to be in college by now.What is he doing in my school?

I stopped at my track but I didn't look back at him.I don't know him.I may knew him before but that's all in the past.

I can hear his footsteps coming towards me.Seconds passed,a warm arm embraced me from my back.Nakapatong ang baba niya sa ulo ko dahil sa tangkad niya.My tears starts to flow.I don't know if it's because of what I've seen or because I met an old friend whom I hold dear in my heart.

"How are you?"he asked me softly while still hugging me.He caress my hair gently.

Tears flooded when he did that.I miss that so much."I'm not fine."I said in vain.

"Shh...I miss you."he whispered.

I cried loudly.I turn to him and face him.With teary eyed I uttered the word,"I miss you too."And I hugged him tightly.

I've been crying for half an hour while hugging him.We are now sitting on the bench.He remove my arms but I snaked it quickly.He laughed at my actions.

I look up to him.I saw his eyes twinkling with tears.This is the man I'm longing to see for years.

We stayed their for an hour talking about what we miss in each others life.Nothing change I'm still comfortable as I was years ago.Damn,I miss this kind of mood.

"Someone's watching us."he said.

I quickly surveyed the area and there I saw Kuya Art watching us with a dangerous look.I felt a sudden leap of my heart.What is he doing here?

To my instinct I stood up.I don't know why I feel nervous.

Gelo wrap his arms around my shoulder and stared blankly at the man infront.Meanwhile,Art doesn't seem to be bothered.He went near us and just an inch gap he held my hand and pull from Gelo's hold.

Gelo is not shock.He's just looking intently a smile form in his lips.

"Who are you?"matigas na tanong ni Kuya Art kay Gelo.

Nang nakabawi sa pagkakagulat ay tinanggal ko ang braso ko sa pagkakahawak niya.

I took a step away from him.He was shock.

"Gelo,this is Kuya Art.A friend of mine."I smiled at him.He looks mad and his sending warning through his stares.

Hindi parin kumakalma ang puso ko at tuwing nagagawi ang tingin ko sakanya ay naaalala ko ang eksena kanina.

I smiled to myself.Why did you cry,huh?Napuwing ba.
