The One For Me (For EDITING)

THIRTY SIX

DANNY~

I was working on my speech for the convention I'm going to attend, napili kasi ako as one of the speakers. Halos isang oras na akong nakatulala sa screen ng laptop ko pero hindi pa rin ako nangangalahati. I'm just smiling like an idiot, what happened yesterday keeps replaying on my mind, one of the best days of my life. Kinuha ko phone ko and I dialed Estelle's number.

*RING!!! RING!!! RING!!! RING!!!*

"Hello?" Matamlay na sagot nya, parang bagong gising lang.

"Good morning honeybunch." Nakangiti kong sabi.

I heard her yawn, "Good morning din sweetypie. Sweeeeeeeeetypieeeeee!!!" Sigaw nya bigla.

"What happened!?" Taranta kong sabi.

"8:25 na at kakagising ko lang! 9:00 pasok ko!!! Malelate ako at may quiz pa kami!!! Waaaaaa! Traffic pa naman!!! Mamaya nalang sweetypie ha!!! Oh my God! Bye!" And she hung up.

Natawa naman ako. This girl is the cutest! I shut my laptop at dali dali kong kinuha susi ko sa kotse, I told my secretary to watch over the resto muna. I started my engine at umalis. On my way naisipan kong magstop muna sa isang convenient store.

"Thank you." Sabi ko sa cashier pagkatapos bumayad.

Binilisan ko ang pagmamaneho para maabutan ko pa. It was only 8:40 when I arrived. I parked my car under the tree near their house, waiting for her. Maya maya ay napansin kong bumukas ang gate at nakita ko na sya. Her hair is a mess. I couln't help but laugh. She's really cute. Pumasok na ako ng kotse at pinaandar ito. Dahan dahan akong nagmaneho papunta sa kanya. She was walking when I honked at her.

"I think someone here needs a driver." Bigla kong sabi sa kanya. Still loooking at the road.

Gulat na gulat naman sya and sorry to say pero mukha talaga syang ewan, "Sweetypie?" And I smiled for what she called me, "Pwede mo akong ihatid?"

Nilingon ko sya, "That's why I'm here." I winked at her.

Sumigaw naman sya dahilan para magulat ako, I just laughed. Mabilis syang pumasok sa kotse. She looked at me with a big smile on my face, "Off to schooooool!" Sigaw nya.

And we're off. On the way ay nag aayos sya ng sarili nya at ako naman panakaw nakaw ng tingin. Kahit naman ano maging itsura nya ang ganda ganda nya pa rin. When we arrived at her school. Bumaba na sya. She said goodbye at nag thank you.

"Bata! Wait!" Sabi ko.

"Hmmmm?"

"Here." Sabi ko habang may iniabot sa kanya.

Napangiti sya, "Kitkat?"

"Have a break, have a kitkat." And I pinched her cheeks, "Kapag nastress ka kainin mo yan. Okay? I gotta go. And by the way, if you have time punta ka sa hill mamayang hapon."

She nodded, "Okay sweetypie." And smiled.

I couldn't help but smile too, "See you later honeybunch."

Pumasok na ako sa kotse and I watched her enter their school. It feels so good. Alam mo yun, there's a reason to wake up each morning. A reason to have that smile on your face. I'm just so glad I didn't gave up on her because she's really worth it.

ESTELLE~

Biochem ang subject namin ngayon at sobrang inaantok ako. Hindi kasi nakatulog ng maayos kagabi. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero hanggang ngayon, andito pa rin ang kilig. Sana pwedeng marecord ng utak ang mga masasayang moment ng buhay natin, hinding hindi talaga ako magsasawang ulit ulitin ang mga nangyari kahapon. Akalain mo sa katawan nyang yun at sobrang professional nya eh tinawag nya akong honeybunch. Sobrang corny pero at the same time, nakakakilig.
