Have you ever think about what could people do for LOVE?
Funny things like listening to music they’re listening to, doing things they like to do, watching movies they like to watch, just to spend time with them. some do crazy things like stalking, trying to kill themselves, killing other people, etc. but I was never prepared to see one crazy deed right in front of my face.
I was in a bus on my way to work, minding my own world listening to the collection of music I most loved, when a college school girl step inside the bus and sat in front of me. I could actually see her back from where I was seated and saw her rummaging through her things. Since I don’t know her and have no plan of knowing her, I went back to my self-made world full of good music. Until I realized something is odd and I was feeling a little weird. Ramdam ko, may mali. Then I saw her again holding a picture of her (because I saw her face when she entered the bus) and some guy beside her. I assumed the guy is just her friend (and not a very close friend) since there was a big amount of space in between them. Though they were both smiling in the photo. I couldn’t explain why I didn’t gaze away from her, it was like I was waiting for something to happen.
And then the unthinkable. She kissed the guy in the picture with her eyes closed! It was a long heart-felt kiss. My eyes popped out and did a quiet laugh. She then putted the picture on her lap and stared at the bus’ ceiling for God knows how long. I can still remember the guy’s face sitting beside her when she “expressed her love” to the guy in the picture because he was the only one brave enough to laugh.
I really wanted to stand up and ask her, “miss, are you drugs?” sabay halakhak ng malakas. Oo na, masama na ko… eh ano naman ngayon?!
Oh, and in case you’re wondering I AM NOT IN LOVE.
