Walang reaksyon o kahit anong ekspresyon na makikita sa kanyang mukha. He keeps staring at me with the coldness in his pitch-black eyes that makes me shiver down to my spine. I swallowed down all my nervousness as I was unable to maintain eye contact with him. Tila ata lahat ng dugo ko sa mukha ay bumaba at nanlamig ako. Hindi ko alam kung dahil ba ito sa kaba ko o dahil sa lagnat ko. Baka naghalo na. “Kung pwede ‘wag mong pakialaman… ang phone ko… o gamit ko.” nakatingin ako sa sahig nung sabihin ko ‘yon. He took a step closer. I was astonished that I couldn’t step my feet backward. Sinisigaw ng isip ko na umatras pero hindi naman sumusunod ang katawan ko. He lifted up my chin to meet our eyes. His hand on my chin is not gentle nor tightened, but he’s showing the power of differences
