"Huh? A-anong sabi mo?" Tanong ko dahil sa hindi parin ako makapaniwala sa narinig ko.
"I said, be my real girlfriend." Ulit niya as he pressed my hand.
"Huh? A-are you serious? You're joking again don't you?" agad kong sumbat sa kanya habang pinipilit kong ngumiti.
"I'm serious." He said back and his eyes seems really serious about it. But I felt like it is too good to be true.
"Do-Do you perhaps l-like...like me too?" utal kong sabi sa kanya. Laglag ang balikat na napayuko siya as if I said something foolish. And then he put my hands down. And he pinched me back? Ahhh. Namula na naman ako.
"Are you an idiot? Why should I ask you to be my girlfriend if I don't like you in the first place? Ahhh. Why are you being so dumb and dense when it comes to things like this?" He said casually but seriously. Natulala lang ako sa kanya. Hindi parin ako makapaniwala sa sinabi niya. Is this really real? Pero, hindi ba't si Jiyeon ang mahal niya? Oo nga, nasaan nga ba si Jiyeon?
"But... Ji..Jiyeon..."
"We already broke up a long time ago." Putol niya sa sasabihin ko. But what? I don't understand.
"I admit, I did loved her back then and I was hurt when she left me and before she came here I still thought that I still love her. But... But when she arrived and as we spent our days together, I don't know but I realized that my heart has changed. I couldn't feel the same way about her anymore." Salita niya.
"Then why did you acted like you still love her?" Mahinang sumbat ko.
"I don't know but I think it's because I'm not sure about what I feel yet those times." Sagot niya. For some reason, i could see sincerity in his eyes. His eyes doesnt look emotionless anymore.
"But you brought her in that place, and you looked so happy with her." Biglang sagot ko na mukhang ikinagulat niya ng bahagya.
"Are you sure that I'm happy just because I'm smiling? I brought her in that place to confirm something." Napakunot noo ako sa sinabi niya. To confirm something?
"Sa mga oras na kasama ko siya, I already felt that there's something wrong. It feels like I don't enjoy being with her anymore that's why we went there. When I'm with you that day we first went there, you don't know how happy I was. And that moment I'm with her, I don't know but the person that's in my mind... is you." Napanganga na lamang ako sa mga narinig ko.
"I finally realized that I don't love her anymore, and I also realized one thing... Na gusto na kita." Pero bakit hindi nagbago ang pakikitungo niya sa akin after that day? He even told me to go ahead and forget him. And nagalit pa siya nung sinabi ni miss Eunji that I told her I'm his girlfriend.
No words came out of my mouth. I just looked at him. And then he look at the sky again.
"But those time, I'm not yet sure about my feelings for you. But as we keep on being together, I ended up liking you for real. I don't know why but, since I met you there's a lot of things changed in me."
"Huh?"
"Just like that sky, who would love to even gaze at that gloomy and ugly clouds? But without even knowing it, I ended up loving it as well. Because when I look at it, I felt like I began to think of a lot of things. Things that I even don't care at all before." Dagdag niya.
"Like what?"
"Life. Everything. When I look at that sky, I started to understand the things that the old people keeps on telling. You may not know but you teach me to think about how wonderful the world is."
"And I began to understand what lies behind that so called 'silence'. I don't know but I feel like everything is fine and the world seems so peaceful whenever you're there staying silently by my side. I usually can't stand silence but whenever you're with me, I just wanted to go silent while watching the sky with you."
"I learned that there are things that can only be understood through silence. It may be foolish but the truth is those silent moment I spent with you is much meaningful to me more than any other else. So ngayon, hindi lang ako na inlove sa langit, I'm also in love with silence. And all those things were a part of you. I love gazing up the sky when I'm with you. I love the silence between me and you. And the rain isn't sad anymore, as long as you're there watching the rain beside me."
"So, after this show... l want to turn this tale into reality.." He said while looking at me and his eyes looks so serious and sincere. Habang nakatitig siya sakin pakiramdam ko ay nalulunod ako sa kislap ng kanyang mga mata.
My nerves still can't believe those words that he just said just now but all of a sudden, bigla ko siyang niyakap ng mahigpit. And then, he hugged me back. It felt like, it's still a dream. I even think that if this is a dream, I don't want to wake up anymore. Those words he said are like like cupids' arrows that pierced into my heart over and over again. I'm so happy i could cry.
And while we keep on hugging each other, It felt like the gloomy clouds began to raise us up high in the sky. And I started to feel his heart beats that's beating just the same as mine. I don't know how long we stayed like that but all I know is, that moment makes me felt like my world turned into a very sweet and ever happy dream filled with falling cherry blossoms.
