CHAPTER 8
"So,you're a writer?"he asked me. I nod and gave him a sweet smile.
He gave me a paper and pen. Tapos tinuro nya yung horizon.
"Create a short story about that horizon..."I smiled on him. And nod. "You're like a mute"naiiling pang sabi nya.
"Tsk! Ewan sayo"I said rolling my eyes. We're out of the island. Nasa seashore na kami sa mismong Alphabet Town.
"Nag-iipon ka ba talaga nang laway? You're like saving your saliva for a debate that will happen soon..."he said while chuckle. Then suddenly,I stopped.
Napatingin ako sa katabi kong walang ka-alam alam. Back then,I didn't realize that... I guy like him can create a big impact on me.
What is it? Realizing that there'd tomorrow. Don't stay at yesterday, straight your eyes on today. Don't mind the tomorrow.
"Hoy! Tama na ang tingin..."suway nya sa akin. Natawa na lang ako at inerapan sya. I also mimic what he have said
Sya naman ang natawa. Then he patted my head. Hinawi ko ito at inambahan sya nang suntok.
"I'm not a dog!"Sabi ko dito habang nasa ere ang kamao ko.
"Go ahead,punch me Ari..."he said with mocking me with what he calls me since this early morning.
I punched him hard in his left cheek. Tapos inasar sya. He smirked then suddenly grabbed me.
"Fvck you,Luigi!"I shouted on him. Sumakay sya bigla sa likod ko.
"Fvck me,Ari..."nanlaki ang mata ko sa binulong nya sa akin. I suddenly grabbed his arms. At binalibag sya sa buhangin. "Ouch!"he groaned.
"Oh,really? Lui?"I said tapos tiningnan sya. Direct in the eye and smirked at him. Nasa ibabaw nya ako kaya lamang ako.
"You're wild..."he mock me. I suddenly punched his right cheek.
"Pantay na yan, Lui..."I winked at him before going back at our position a while ago.
Then I heard laughters. Napalingon ako at nakita dina Manong Nestor at Nay Tasia na tinatawanan kami.
Argh! Ina-antok ba nila kami?
I turned my head on my front...Pero nagulat nalang ako nang may humalik sa akin sabay halakhak nya. Napapikit ako nang madiin.
"LUIGI?!"I shouted at him.
"Bakit?"inosente nyang tanong sabay upo sa tabi ko.
"Bago palang tayo mag-ka-kilala nang-na-nakaw ka na nang halik? Ako ha...ina-ano ba kita?"gigil kong tanong sabay hampas nang papel ko sa balikat nya.
"O-oy! Oy... Tumigil ka nga!"saway nya sa akin habang sina-salag ang palo ko sa kanya.
I tsk. And then ignore his presence. Bakit ko ba pina-pansin ang lalaking 'to? At bakit ako gagawa nang story para sa kanya?
I throw to him the paper and pen. Tapos tumayo ako at humarap sa dagat.
From a far,I saw the birds flying with freedom. Without any limits. They have the control of their lives. Then I focus my eyes on the horizon.
It's already four in the afternoon... Quarter to five,I mean. The sun is slightly setting down. And the birds are flying away from it but looks like near.
Then I lately, I thought of something.
I always realize things... Since the day of that YES-O votes result was assigned on me.
I closed my eyes,and familiarize myself at the scenery. After minutes,bumalik ako sa tabi ni Luigi saka dinampot ang papel at ballpen.
They say... The horizon was the place where the sky and sea met. But who will believe that it was just an illusion in our eyes?
Will you believe if I say that... That horizon has no end,until you reached another land? Yes, believe me or not. Horizon is just an illusion,in the end of it? No, there's no end at horizon
But would you believe me that,three out of ten people's will have the wealth. Then the least? Will be left living in poverty.
Biglang inagaw ni Luigi yung papel saka nya iyon binasa nang tahimik. Kumunot naman agad ang noo nya at bumaling sa akin.
"Ano 'to?"he asked.
"Kuwento?"sagot ko na medyo patanong na din.
"I know--"
I cut his words with a long sentence of mine. "I know you,you know what is that. Well you just asked me to do such story while I don't have anything in my mind..."
"Then,why did you still do it?"he asked. I smirked at him.
"It's not bad to try,right?"napa-tango nalang ito sa akin.
"But,why did you asked here about believing you?"tanong niya sa akin.
"Well,that's the main point why I am writing. Think of it,does your readers will be confused when you straight to your point?"I asked him. Then he shrugged his head.
"But it depends..."
"Yeah! Right,but in me? I always left questions... With them to get confused on what will happen next... Ikaw ba? What do you think is the ending of that short story?"I asked him.
Suddenly he think. He holds his chin and look above.
"What?"tanong nya din sa akin. I pinched his nose. "Ay,papansin!"
"Edi wow!"I rolled my eyes on him and look at a far. "In that story,my point is... People's can't live at the same state. You get my point?"
He shrugged his head. "No?"
"Okay,so here's it. It's like the sky and sea. You think it can meet someday? If yes,you fool then"I rolled my eyes on him and chuckle. His face covered with questions.
"It's like... Me and my father,I can't live with him. But I can live without him. Even tho,he was the reason why I am alive. I can't help but to blame him on what kind of life I have"I look at him then smiled.
"Me and my dad... Were like sky and sea,yes. Maybe we can meet literally,but I don't think our hearts can be connect and meet it's paths again.."
