~ 6:30 PM - Lips of yours in mine ~

PArt 2


She was playing the violin and she still got me listening to her music.
I didn't know what it was since I'm not really interested with violin.
Then again, I think I was able to relate with her music. The piece she was
playing was somehow similar with the ones I played in piano, but I still
didn't know what it was. Then she finally stopped. "I'm sorry if I played
without telling you. I just wanted to try this new piece I learned."
She said while looking at me. I looked down. "No, it's alright." I replied.
"Is it okay if I played more pieces? I'm practicing for our music presentation."
She said. Music presentation? They have one, too? "Speaking of music presentations..."
She continued. I prayed that she wouldn't say anything about mine. She winked
at me and said, "You're finished with your presentation, right? I saw you during
your practices." I froze. She giggled after seeing my expression.
"Too bad you won't see me dance. I'm with the "music group", I'll be playing
the violin instead of dancing." All I'm doing now was giving my attention
to what she was saying, not the book. I looked at my wrist again, 6:10 PM.
"Are you waiting for something? You've been looking at your watch since
you came here." I didn't say anything. I didn't want to speak and say words.
All I wanted was to get my bag and leave, but I can't. It's like I'm glued
with the swing or something. I can't stand up. She started playing again,
this time it was softer and slow. "Interpretative dance." I said She smiled.
"Those pieces... You improvised... You made it all up." I raised an eyebrow
as I spoke. She stopped, surprised. "How did you know?" She asked with puzzlement.
"I just know." I answered back. I didn't tell her that I actually have
something for music(just a little)."So you have a talent in music as well?"
She saw through me. She found out. Then she sat down beside me (back to back).
"What do you mean?" Now I was the one asking with a puzzled face.
"Art contests, writing contests and the sporty stuff, specifically basketball.
You were okay with dancing, I think. You almost have every talent people wanted!"
She exclaimed. I faced her and asked, "Are you stalking me?" She faced me.
"Stalking? (My real name), you joined contests! A lot of people knows you!"
She said while poking me on the forehead. Wait... She knew my name!
"Okaaay...." That was all I could say.

Now, we were just talking. No more reading books or playing violin. A while
ago, all we did was to remain silent, after a few minutes, we're talking like
we've known each other for so long. I found the conversations a bit awkward.
She never asked anything about anything that happened during that rainy day
nor anything about those jeepney stuff. I'm starting to feel guilty for even
remembering that and for staying with her here in the garden. Even though
we're just talking, It felt like I was doing a crime. I looked at my watch,
6:28 PM. I have to go. Forget about those lights at 6:30 PM, I just need to go.
I stood up. "uhh.. I have to go. It was a nice talk. Well... Goodbye."
I placed the book inside my bag. Then she said, "Wait." and grabbed my hand
and pulled me. I lost my balance and fell onto the swing. I was laying on the swing,
unable to move. I can't stand up. The fall somehow made me paralyzed and made my
back hurt. Then, she did something and I was caught off gaurd. It was unexpected...


She was kissing me.

I didn't know what to do. I cant move. I can't do anything!!
Then the whole place started to brighten up. The lights on the plants
was turned on. It was already 6:30 PM. Then she let go of the kiss.
"Didn't you notice that I didn't let you read your book? I wanted you
to give me your attention. I wanted you to focus on me. I wanted you
all for myself." She whispered. I was still in shock. She stood up, grabbed
her violin case and some papers. She said, "I'm sorry if I kissed you.
I didn't want you to go. I wanted to give you a "thank you" gift for giving
me your attention. Well... See you again." She started walking, leaving
me laying on that swing. She stopped again and said, "By the way, my name is Miyah."
Then she walked again. She left me like nothing happened. The garden was so bright.
The lights were like of those in the operation rooms. I felt like I was dying.
The lights were slowly eating me. Only then I was able to move again. I stood
up and left the garden. Everything happened too fast.


Everything was surreal.
