(Susubukan ko lang mag-character sketch ngayon, or kung isang character sketch nga ba ang matatawag dito.)
Hindi ko masasabing matagal na kaming magkakilala. Sa totoo lang, masasabi ko na, parang, ngayon pa lang ang simula na kilalanin ko siya, sa kabila ng katotohanan na matagal-tagal na rin kaming magkatrabaho.
Mabait siya, matangkad at matalino, at higit sa lahat, may sense at humor. Di hamak na pasok ang qualifications niya sa standards ko. Pero, siya iyong tipo ng lalaki na igagalang ko forever. Hindi ko siya pagpapantasyahan at pag-iisipan ng malisya. Siya ang tunay na gentleman. Siya ang tipo ng lalaki na pagbubuksan ka ng pinto kung magkakasabay kayo at pauunahin ka sa pagpasok. Hindi kagaya ng iba diyan na sadyang mapagpanggap. Mapapansin at mararamdaman mo ang kanyang sincerity sa kanyang gentlemanly gesture.
Sa manaka-nakang pagkakataon na nakakapag-usap kami, alam kong nakikinig siya. No matter how shallow my topics were, he listened. Mapapansin mo iyon sa feedbacks na galing sa kanya. And I came to know, that he is understanding too. To quote him, "lahat ng mga nangayayari sa mundo may dahilan." He speaks like a true science person, very rational.
Many people think of him as weird for they cannot understand his kind of weirdness. At times, I saw him sitting on the ground and asked if he's fine and simply replied that he's just "feeling the ground", probably it's coldness and silence, literally and metaphorically.
I kind of understand him for I am a literature major. I was trained to be "humanized" in everything that's happening in the universe. For every film that we are assigned to critique, we were trained to see a difference that layman cannot see. For every change in history and culture and language, we were trained to be critical and give rational and artful explanation from elitists view to mere stupidity.
I bet he is the type of person who hugs a century old narra tree, if ever there still exists such in the belief that old trees absorb a person's negative energy.
He is very observant and knows his people more than they know themselves. In his reserved and selective personality he never gets enemies and rarely gets angry. He knows how to handle and manage people, though he is not a people person. His laughter is classy. And he dresses sleekly and with a sense of fashion comparable to that of an elite though humbly he came from the humble home of Laguna.
Sexist men would often mistake him as 'closeted' but I dare say to them that he is as masculine as they are or even better of a straight man than they are. Women love him for his genuine gentlemanliness, politeness and cleanest of intent.
He takes his time for he owns his time. He plans his life for he knows what he wants and makes the necessary effort to achieve it.
Most importantly, he never forgets his spirituality. He knows his faith and is faithful to his God despite the fact of him being a science person.
