Kenrick tilted his head a bit, showing confusion on his face, but he didn’t press any further. Para kasi sa kanya ang ganda nung mga lyrics na sinulat ni Cyrus. But maybe it’s different for someone who knows and is passionate about writing songs. Kaya di niya maintindihin ang perspektibo nito. Pinagpatuloy na lang niyang tignan ang laman nung notebook na hawak niya. He read every page for a few minutes before turning it to the next one.
Cyrus, on the other hand, started checking every item laid out on the floor. Nilagay niya yung mga itatago niya pa pabalik sa loob nung karton at itinabi niya sa gilid yung mga itatapon na. Karamihan sa mga papel na natignan niya ay mga printed lyrics na may chords. Yung iba nakalagay sa clearbook at yung iba ay nasa labas lang. He smiled while seeing those printed lyrics. He remembered how every recess and lunch breaks they had mag-jajamming sila sa loob ng classroom. Tuwing homeroom din kapag wala silang gagawin tumutugtog siya ng gitara at sasabayan naman siyang kumanta nung mga kaklase niyang magaling kumanta. It was such a great time for him. He felt young again, remembering those times.
"Babi."
Napa-angat ng ulo si Cyrus para tignan si Kenrick sa biglang tawag nito.
"Hmm? Bakit, babi?"
Kenrick was still holding the notebook where Cyrus wrote most of his own songs. He was staring at a page in confusion that made the latter curious.
"Babi, what's wrong? Ano yang binabasa mo?"
Kenrick took a breath and looked at him, still addled about what he just saw.
"Ba—bakit nakasulat yung facebook name ko rito sa likod ng notebook mo?"
"Ha?"
Kenrick handed him the notebook. It was opened on the page where he saw his facebook name written on the back of his notebook.
Pagkakuha ni Cyrus dito ay agad na bumungad sa kanya ang pangalan na hindi niya mabasa.
𝘬𝘤𝘪𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘬 𝘩𝘰𝘥
Nagsalubong naman ang mga kilay ni Cyrus habang sinusubukang basahin yung nakasulat. He's sure that was not Kenrick's name and he was about to say it pero naunahan siya ni Kenrick.
"That's my name. Written backwards. Ganyan yung name ko sa facebook back in high school. Bakit nakasulat yan dyan?"
Naguguluhan namang napatingin si Cyrus.
"Pero maayos naman name mo sa fb ngayon?"
"Syempre pinalitan ko na. Ang tanda ko ganyan pangalan ko from first year to second year ata. Uso yun dati nakisali lang ako. Tapos nung third or fourth year pinalitan ko na. Wait. So, you had my facebook name nung first year or second year ako? Who gave you my facebook name from that time? Hindi mo naaalala?"
Cyrus tried his best to remember. He has a pretty sharp memory pero di niya alam kung bakit eto hindi niya agad maalala.
He glanced at the notebook once more and read the name over and over again. It took more than a minute before something finally popped into his head.
"Gago. Naalala ko na!"
"Really?! You do?! So, sino nagsulat niyan?! That person's the reason why friends tayo sa facebook!"
He looked at Kenrick with excitement. He was such a fool for not remembering from the very beginning that he met Kenrick from an event before. It was one of the events that gave him an opportunity to pursue his dream to become a musician.
"Babi, it was you. Ikaw nagsulat nito."
Agad na kumunot ang noo ni Kenrick at takang napatitig kay Cyrus.
"Babi, makakalimutin man ako pero I don't think makakalimutan ko sarili kong handwriting."
"I know, but this was written in a hurry kaya ang gulo. Naaalala mo ba yung isang event sa certerpoint nung mga panahon na yun? Yung banda ko nung high school nagkaron ng opportunity mag-perform dun tas nagkulang sila ng isang performer and you were there. You voluntarily performed before our band. God. I can't believe I'm just remembering and realizing it now na ikaw yun! You were that guy I wanted to recruit and join our band kaya hiningi ko facebook mo kasi sabi mo wala kang personal number at facebook lang meron ka so I had you write your facebook name on my notebook! Sabi mo pa nga unique name mo sa facebook kaya mahahanap ko agad account mo, which I did!"
Sa sobrang dami ng sinabi ni Cyrus ay parang nag-malfunction ang utak ni Kenrick. He tried to keep up and understand every word he said, but it was too much to comprehend, so his brain wasn't functioning properly.
"Teka. Saglit lang. I do remember singing on the spot sa isang mall event dati. I barely remember what happened that day. Wait lang. I need a minute."
Kenrick tried his best to recall that day while Cyrus was excitedly and patiently waiting for him to remember.
Kenrick sighed hopelessly. He really couldn’t recall everything that happened on that day. Ang naaalala niya lang napakanta siya on the spot sa isang mall event dahil sa mga kaibigan niyang kasama niyang gumala at pinilit siyang kumanta nun.
"Wala talaga akong matandaan. I just remember singing at a mall event during that time pero di ko talaga maalala na may na-meet ako nun."
Napabuntong hininga si Cyrus abay kuha sa phone niya.
"I think I still have a photo of our band during that day maybe that will help you remember. I still can't believe ngayon ko lang naalala yun. I remember you even wearing all black that time. From head to toe itim suot mo para kang may pupuntahan na lamay."
"Alam mo just with that naniniwala na 'ko sayo. Madalas nga itim suot kong damit dati kahit naman ngayon. Pero babi tanda mo ba kung may suot akong salamin nun?"
"Hmm... I don't think so. I mean, wala kang suot na salamin nun. And you were a bit chubby nun diba? I remember how round and red your cheeks were. Sobrang cute mo nun but your voice was so powerful kaya sobrang mesmerized ako sa performance mo nun. Pero your singing voice now sounds different but still powerful. Siguro kasi your voice matured now. Kaya di kita na-bosesan. I didn't get the chance to ask your name that time too kami na kasi next performer kaya nagmamadali rin ako. I had to prioritize on getting your contact information kaya yun mas inuna ko. I immediately added you the moment I got home pero di kita minessage agad. Hindi pa kasi sigurado yung audition ng banda namin nun then a lot of things happened hanggang sa nakalimutan ko na and our band didn't get the opportunity for that audition."
Ang daming sinabi ni Cyrus pero mas tumatak kay Kenrick na sinabihan siya nitong cute kasi ang bilog daw ng mga cheeks niya nung high school siya.
"Kung di ako nakasalamin nun, that's probably the reason why di kita makilala. Di rin imposible na hindi ako nakasalamin nun kasi gawain ko yun. Kapag mag-peperform o mag-sspeech ako on stage tinatanggal ko salamin ko para di ko makita ng malinaw yung mga tao sa audience para di ako kabahan ng malala."
"Ohhh... I guess that was effective. You were singing so confidently at that time. Kaya nga namangha mo 'ko. Eto! Finally, I found it! Look, babi! Maybe this picture will still help you remember a bit."
Tumayo si Kenrick atsaka lumipat sa tabi ni Cyrus. Naupo siya sa tabi nito atsaka tinignan yung litrato sa phone screen ni Cyrus. There were five young people and in the middle was Cyrus. Agad na napangiti si Kenrick kasi sobrang totoy ng itsura ni Cyrus. He already looked so handsome back then pero mas lalo siyang gumwapo ngayong tumanda na siya.
"Wow. Babi, ang tangkad at gwapo mo na talaga kahit dati pa."
Hindi naman inaasahan 'yon ni Cyrus kaya bahagya siyang nahiya.
"Thank you... yan din palaging sinasabi sa 'kin dati. Isa nga raw ako sa school heartthrobs ehh."
"Not surprising. Ang gwapo mo ehh. I bet a lot of people were lining up just to get your attention."
"There were. But none of them were successful. Hindi madali makuha ang atensyon ko not until I saw you perform at that event. First time na may nakakuha ng atensyon ko talaga nun."

Napatawa si Kenrick ng malakas kaya nawala yung gulat sa mukha ni Cyrus at napalitan ng pagtataka.
"Joke lang. Napaka mo kasi. Kita mong may bitbit akong box tas nilagay ko lang sa plastic yung tinapay para madala ko riot. Anyway, wait lang. Kuha lang akong tubig mo o gusto mo ng kape?"
Tatayo na dapat si Kenrick pero mabilis siyang nahawakan ni Cyrus sa may pulsuhan sabay hinila palapit sa kanya. Dahil sa bigla ni Kenrick ay tuloy-tuloy siyang napaupo sa kandungan nito. Cyrus immediately trapped him in his arms kaya di makakilos si Kenrick. He tried to push him away to free himself, but his hug was too tight.
"Babi!!! Bat bigla kang nanghihila?!"
Pinagmasdan muna siya ni Cyrus bago ito sumagot na nakangisi.
"You're teasing me in a different level now huh?"
"Bakit? Ikaw lang pwede gumawa nun? Kaya ko rin 'no."
Napangisi na lang lalo si Cyrus sa sobrang confident ng sagot ni Kenrick. He found it way too adorable 'cause Kenrick wouldn't dare tease him like that not long ago.
"Okay. I like it when you tease me like that."
Hindi naman maipinta yung mukha ni Kenrick sa biglang pagkunot ng noo nito. Tatawa palang dapat si Cyrus pero bigla siyang piningot ni Kenrick sa tenga kaya napa-aray agad siya.
"A—aray! Babi! Aray! Masakit!"
"Masakit? Deserve! Now, let me go para makuhanan kita ng tubig."
Agad namang bumitaw si Cyrus sa pagkakahawak niya sa kanya at mabilis namang tumayo si Kenrick. The moment he did, Cyrus immediately rubbed his ear that he pinched. Kenrick felt bad seeing his ear turn bloody red. He leaned down and lifted Cyrus' chin, which baffled and caught the latter offguard. Akala ni Cyrus hindi pa tapos si Kenrick turuan siya ng leksyon pero laking gulat niya nung biglang hinalikan ni Kenrick yung tenga niyang piningot nito.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to pinch it too hard. Sobrang sakit ba?"
Cyrus was too stunned to respond. He was so utterly astounded that he felt like he forgot how to speak. Normally, if Kenrick felt bad for what he did, he would apologize sincerely. But now, he even willingly kissed the ear that he had pinched. It wasn’t really that hard and he wasn’t in any kind of severe pain. Napaka-oa niya lang talaga.
"No—no. I'm fine, babi. Sige na. Kuha ka na ng tubig. I'd like some juice rin," he finally answered, though his mouth was barely opening.
Kenrick still understood every word he said and nodded.
"Sige. I'll be back agad para matulungan kita dyan."
Tumango na lang naman si Cyrus at dali-dali nang naglakad palabas ulit ng kwarto si Kenrick. A few minutes after Kenrick left, a soft genuine smile appeared on Cyrus’ face. He really have seen how Kenrick change since they started living together kahit nung hindi pa sila. He became more soft and caring. Kahit na minsan nagbibiruan sila ng ganito at nagkapisikalan, Kenrick would check on him to make sure hindi siya nito nasaktan ng sobra kahit gigil na gigil ito sa kanya. He loves how their relationship changed into something more sweet, more intimate, over the past months. And he's sure mas lalo pa silang magiging malapit at malambing sa isa't isa.
Nagbanyo naman muna si Cyrus para umihi at maghilamos ng mukha pati magsipilyo. Paglabas niya ng banyo ay nakabalik na si Kenrick at naka-upo na ito sa lapag habang tinitignan ang mga gamit niya.
"Andyan ka na pala, babi. Di kita narinig."
Napalingon saglit si Kenrick sa kanya at agad na ibinalik ang tingin sa binabasa nito sa isang notebook na hawak nito.
"Di rin naman kita tinawag. I figured nasa banyo ka. Babi, nagsusulat ka ng kanta nung high school ka?"
Hiya namang ngumiti si Cyrus at naglakad muna siya palapit dito atsaka umupo sa tapat nito bago sumagot.
"Oo. I tried writing songs during those times but I wasn't confident to sing them to the public."
Gulat namang napatingin si Kenrick sa kanya.
"Ha? Bakit naman? Mukhang ang ganda naman nitong mga nasulat mong lyrics."
"They might have sounded good when you read them, but they’re lacking."
