Number 1.
He went up riding in a silver vehicle with tinted window; two cars were following him in a manner which appeared to intimidate other cars. Nobody seemed to know his new Toyota Innova. It was the first time he did not walk for seven kilometers. A lot have obviously changed.
Her white shirt was wet of perspiration because of her hike through a steep road up to a hallowed mountain, her legs and feet was almost numb, her hair was so wet that sweat flows through her head, she was really thirsty and exhausted so she tried to rest a bit.
She was standing in front of a glass see though door which seemed to be newly cleansed with a poster which says “Restricted Area. Do not enter” on the upper left side of the metal handle when she saw him, the man who told her how to be loved, the way how God loves his child, and how to love in return, the way how people should love God back. Right then and there her heart thawed. She missed him very much.
He was talking to an old woman who was frantically laughing beside him. She taught that the old woman was laughing because of something he said and she also though that the old woman was laughing to impress him and let him know that he was a really funny man of God. She saw him looked at her and smiles, so she smiled back and waved hello, he laughed hesitantly, maybe because the old woman was still laughing while talking beside her. He then faced the old woman and talked a little bit more, she was still staring at him. She missed him very much.
He walked out of the “Restricted area” and looked at her friend and her, like telling them “Come here and talk to me”, so she and her friend walked to the glass door but halfway through, people started taking his hand and his blessings, she and her friend stopped, they waited until he was alone in front of the glass door. Finally, they came close to each other again, her favorite person in Pangasinan. She eyed him through it all. She missed him very much.
He started talking to her and her friend. He asked her why was she present at the mountain top, she smiled and said that she did not have classes, while on the back of her head she thought that even though she have classes, she would skip it just not to miss this moment. He grinned, chuckled in affirmation and said Oh yes, it’s a Saturday and you don’t have classes. She was speechless. Then her friend gave him a magazine with an article that her friend wrote for him. He smiled and laughed and her friend and he talked about it. Her eyes never left his face as they spoke. He might have melted if she has eyes which shoot like a laser gun. She missed him very much.
The memories of the past five years came rushing through her mind; halo-halo on a rainy afternoon, lunch at Greenwich, free Rosaries, Mt. Carmel, bracelets, shirts, one hundred pesos and a lot more valuable treasures which was buried deep in her heart. She missed him very much.
Yesterday's conversation was all it took for her to realize that he really is now far from home, Bataan. She wanted to hug him but she froze when he was right in front of her talking.
People started coming from different places as soon as they saw him. She and her friend were eaten by the crowd so they left instead. The last glance was all she had. She missed him very much.
She never saw him again that close after the Mass. He already perfected the act of hiding and leaving early.
Number 2.
While sitting sadly at a white plastic chair, somebody passed by glanced at her which she caught. It was A.
The memories of her and him came rushing but she composed herself.
She shouted stop at herself and strangled her sobbing heart.
She looked back and forgot about it.
She felt intense.
