Arrange To You (Tagalog)

The only thing that I could see was those silhouettes from those people playing from a far and the shape of the trees that were dancing together with the wind.

"Napakaganda ng paglubog ng araw, ate Celestia 'no?" lumapit pala si Sasha at hindi ko man lang napansin ang presensya niya. I was busy looking at this beautiful scenery in front of me. It was truly captivating. "Napakaganda. Napakaganda ng paglubog ng araw na hindi mo maiwasang malungkot," kumunot ang noo niya sa sinabi ko.

"Bakit naman ate? Malungkot ka ba ngayon?"

I smiled dryly, "Malungkot dahil... we always tend to remember memories in good moments like this. Maganda o masalimuot man ang mga alaala. Malungkot dahil napakabilis ng oras at sa isang iglap lang ay ang mga ginagawa natin ngayon ay maging isang alaala na lamang."

"Eh bakit po naging malungkot iyon?"

"Cause we can't go back to that certain moment to feel that pure bliss and happiness again. People come and leave to leave a memory. You might not appreciate it now, but when you get there, those moments will be just fragments of your memories. Pero alam mo ba kung anong kagandahan sa mga alaalang iyon?" I asked, still my eyes fixated on the setting sun.

"What is it?" Bahagya akong natigilan nang marinig ang boses niyon.

Unti-unti akong napalingon at nakita ko si Wayde na nakatayo hindi kalayuan sa akin. Nakasuot na naman ito ng plain v-neck t-shirt na pinaresan ng khaki short. I smiled and waved back at him.

Lumapit siya sa'kin at umupo sa tabi ko. Dangling his hands between his both knees.

"Tell us about the beauty of those memories, Celestia," nilingon ko siya at kagaya ko kanina ay napako ang tingin ni Wayde sa lumulubog na araw.

As if he was also fixated on the scenery which he can't cast away his eyes.

Humugot ako ng malalim na hininga bago sumagot, "It just stayed. Magka-amnesia ka man ay hindi mawawala niyon ang pakiramdam sa mga alaalang iyon. It would stay right here," I pointed my chest. "Those memories will always be kept and be treasured."

In my peripheral vision, I saw Wayde looking at me. Nakita ko ang kayraming emosyon sa mga mata nito. I wonder if he also has a story to tell. I mean, we all have.

Ilang minuto rin akong nanatili roon bago napagdesisyonang tumayo. Humarap ako kay Wayde na ngayo'y nakakunot ang noo. Akala ko ba'y may lakad siya?

"I told you not to leave the house." My eyes widened. Oo nga pala! How could I even forget that I'm asked to guard the house?

Ang akala ko'y paglibot-libot sa lugar ay tumagal ng kalahating oras. Ngumisi ako at itinaas ang kamay. I just gave him a peace sign hoping that he could forgive me for my recklessness.

"That won't work for me, Celestia."

Nameywang akong humarap sa kaniya, "you know what, I didn't really thought that you're easy to communicate with. Madalang nalang ang mga taong ganyan no," ngumisi ako. Pero hindi ata siya nagpatinag at masungit akong tinignan. Oh-

oh.

"Sorr-y? Magpapaalam ako sa susunod, I promise," I raised my right hand to him. He sighed and put his both hands on the side of his pockets.

"How's your foot?" nagbaba ito ng tingin sa paa niya.

"Ginagalaw ko naman na at nakakalakad lakad na ako unlike the first attempt. I'm all well and fine!" I widely smiled and bowed my head to let him see my foot.

"Oh boss Wayde, andiyan ka pala. Hali na kayo at magmeryenda na tayo rito," tawag sa'min ng nanay ni Sasha. I wiggled my eyebrows to Wayde and went ahead to the table that was place outside.

"Diego, kumuha ka na ng buko roon," sa narinig ay biglang nakuha ang atensyon ko. Maraming mga puno ng niyog sa Punto Sierra kaya hindi kami nahirapang kumuha ng isa.

Diego climbed the tree carefully and twist the coconut to get it. Medyo nahirapan pa siya sa pagkuha niyon pero nagtagumpay naman. He threw the coconut to the grass and got another one.

"Boss Waye, diba po marunong rin kayong kumuha ng buko? Kumuha rin po kayo boss Wayde!" magiliw na tugon ni Sasha kay Wayde at sinabayan pa iyon ng palakpak. Napangisi rin ako at lumingon kay Wayde.

"You should do it, Wayde. Bring up your skills!" pang-sasakay ko pa ko pa sa kaniya. Sumang-ayon kaming lahat at siya nalang ang hinihintay.

"Alright," Sasha and I cheered for him. Hinubad nito ang puting t-shirt at nilagay sa mesa.

I could say that Wayde has a nice body built that suited him perfectly. It could oozle a bunch of women with a perfect build like that.

Tumingala ako nang magsimula na siyang umakyat sa puno. He looks like a skilled one while climbing the tree. Wayde held on the tree tightly to put his weight on his.

When he finally reached the top, he immediately started to pick the coconut and let it fall in the grass. Marami-rami rin ang nakuha nilang dalawa at inipon iyon lahat. The juice of the fruit were put in a pitcher. Nilagyan iyon ng brown sugar at inihalo. While the fruit itself just stayed on its shell at nilagyan lang ng kutsara't tinidor.

"Sa wari ko'y hindi ka pa nakaka-inom ng ganyan?" Wayde pointed at the pitcher. Umiling ako.

I tasted varieties of coconut drinks but not this province style juice. Si Wayde na mismo ang kumuha ng baso ko at sinalinan iyon ng buko juice. His oozling body could let a bunch of woman fantasize about him. He handed it to me,"Try it, you would love the taste."

"Thanks," Kinuha ko ang baso sa kamay niya at uminom ng paunti-unti.

Sa una ay hindi ko pa masyadong nalalasahan ang tamis pero ng uminom ako ng parami ay doon na lumabas ang totoong lasa. The taste is really good, actually. It's not bland and it's not too sweet. Sunod ko namang tinikman ang prutas ng buko, they say that it would be more best to put a brown sugar to it. Malambot ang prutas at malaman. Dinala niya iyon sa bibig at tinikman. "How does it taste?" bulong ni Wayde sa gilid ko.

Napa-abante pa ako ng kaunti dahil nasa likod ko siya. We are too close with each other and it's making me nervous. To add that, he didn't wear anything on top. Naasiwa tuloy ako sa presensya ni Wayde.

"M-Masarap, my taste buds approved of the taste. Kung pwede lang akong magdala ng puno ng niyog sa amin ay ginawa ko na," nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang kinuha niya ang baso ko at siya naman ang uminom roon. What is he thinking?!

"Yeah, it really tastes good." Patay malisya na sagot ni Wayde at pinahiran ang gilid ng labi niya gamit ang hintuturo.

"Nababaliw kana ba? What made you think to drink in my cup?" pinagtaasan ko siya ng kilay pero ang loko ay nagkibit-balikat lang.

Ngumingisi lang siya at sa hindi na namang inaasahan pagkakataon ay kinuha nito ang tinidor ko na may nakatusok pang buko at dinala sa bibig niya. Sa pagkakataong 'yun ay kinurot ko siya sa tagiliran pero hindi pa rin natinag si Wayde. "Huwag kang feeling close, akin na 'yan!" inabot ko ang tinidor ngunit inilayo lang niya lalo. Yung totoo, does Wayde have some mood swings?

From serious to be this tease. Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin at inilahad ang kamay ko.

"I'm the feeling close, now? Let me remind you that you're the one wh-" Is he really enjoying in teasing me?! Grabe, tuwang-tuwa talaga ako.

Sa sobrang tuwa baka gusto niyang masaksak ng tinidor.

"Give it back to me," I gritted my teeth. Natatawa siyang lumapit sa'kin at binigay ang tinidor sa nakalahad kong palad.

"Sorry, I'm just fond of teasing you. I didn't know that you're a short tempered woman," paghingi niya ng sorry pero hindi ko man lang naramdaman ang sinseridad sa boses niya.

He's even smiling like an idiot and watching me gritting my teeth. Wow, tuwang-tuwa ah. Sino 'bang nanay nito at ng maibalik nga sa tiyan ng nanay niya.
