I had one place in mind when I saw the covers of the comeback song of my number one favorite girl group.
Actually, there was nothing to be afraid of, but dancing inside a cafe felt like reciting in a class-a coward like me can't take criticism.
If my brother can judge me because I dream of being a dancer, doing what I want for the rest of my life, then other people can too. So, I was afraid that I can't even get inside the K-cafe. I glanced beside me and saw the river. The water flowing into the river can't even make me calm.
Where should I go?
"Hindi ka ba papasok?" I am startled when I look behind me."Hm?His brows rose.
I shook my head. "Nothing," I said, calming myself from what happened. "I didn't see you here for the past few days," sabi ko.
"'Yon ba? May trabaho pa kasi ako kaya hindi muna ako nakakadalaw."
"Don't you work at K-Cafe?" I suddenly asked him. "Or is it just like your part-time job?"
Am I asking too much?
"Hindi ang sagot ko sa parehas mong tanong,"sabi niya. He placed his hands on his chin. "Sabihin na lang natin na para akong pamilya nila na tumutulong tuwing bumibisita."
I can't understand what he is saying, but I just nod. I don't want to cross the line.
"That's amazing," I said and smiled at him. "Uhm, can I ask again?"
"Sige lang, ano 'yon?"
"What if you see someone dance at the K-café or somewhere else like a public place? How would you react?"
I was waiting for him to answer when he laughed. I think that is his reaction, so I turn around and walk away from him when I heard his answer.
"Mabibilib," he answered, which made me stop and turn my gaze toward him. "Marami nang gumagawa no'n, e, tapos ako nasaktuhan kong makita? Aba, siyempre matutuwa ako na makanood nung gano'n," he said while smiling.
