“I was eleven and you were only six that time. But among all the kids back then at that party, only you, the youngest, dared to come close to me. Maybe your parents hadn’t told you or you were just too young then to even understand that I was a walking trouble, everyone who would get close to me would be in trouble. ” Marahan itong natawa. “Do you remember when my father’s guards snatched me away when they saw us dancing? It was just a quick dance but you know, that was the only beautiful memory I have in my childhood.” Sandali itong napahinto na pawa bang inaalala ang gabing iyon. I found myself remembering that dance too. I couldn’t remember that “Lucas’s” face anymore. I was just six then, whether he looks like the young Calix or the young Lucas Buenavides, I can no longer remember.
