It’s been a Saturday morning and ganto na lang manggising ‘tong cellphone ko. Madam, MAY MESSAGE KAAAAA!!! Sira kasi ‘tong si Abby. Pinasa nya sakin yang alert tone na yan. Natulog na agad ako kagabi kaya di ko na naisip na yun pa rin ang alert tone ko. Si Abby pala. I quickly picked up my cellphone and lazily said, "Ano?"
"Madam, gising ka na ba?"
"Ano ba? Kita nang natutulog pa yung tao, istorbo!” I quickly hunged the phone and turned it off. I hugged my pillow. Ang lamig! Christmas nanaman kase. Sarap matulog pag ganto, di ba? Malamig ang simoy ng --- I heard some knocks on the door. "Tss... pasok~~"
Someone leaned at my back. Ambigat! "Aaarrraayy!!"
"Gumising ka na kasi..."
"Eh pano kung ayoko?"
"Dadaganan kita ulet?" I sat down at the bottom of the bed, scratching my head out of misery.
"Teka, pano ka agad naka--"
"Nasa labas lang kaya ako?" She flatly said. "Ang aga mong gumising ah." I smirked at her. "8 kaya ako nagising kanina. It’s almost 10 duh.” 10 na ba? Grabe naman akong matulog.
“So, anong nangyari kagabi? Have you met him? Anong pangalan nya?" Ano ba tong babaeng to. May lahi ba tong manok? Putak ng putak eh."Hindi ka naman siguro nagmamadali ano?" I asked sarcastically. "Sabihin mo na kasi."
I sighed. "His name was Rex Carlo Lopez."
Her eyes popped out and her jaw dropped almost at the ground. Anong nangyari dito?
"S-si Re-Rex??"
I went back to sleep and hugged the pillow while she, she was speechless. Anong problema nito? Ewan. She tugged my shoulder. "Yung nakita natin nung isang araw?"
"Yun nga yun. Ano naman ang problema dun, at saka matutulog na ako ulet." Pero di ako nakatulog dahil pinabangon ako nitong babaeng to.
"Ano naman kung sya ang fiancé ko?"
"Wala kang reaction for that? Marriane, ibig sabihin, ngayon mo lang sya nakilala?"
"Hmmm. What? Kilala mo sya?"
"Everyone knows him around in this town, ikaw lang ata ang hindi." Who the hell is he? Yung lalaking yun, kilalang kilala? Talaga lang huh? Sabagay.
"Sa Villa Francia sya nag-aaral. Many reasons why he has to be the block of their school. In other words, PERFECT." sabay tili. Umagang umaga eh! Heh.
"Perfect? Ano naman ang pinagkaperfect nun?" She punched my back. "Iisa-isahin ko pa ba sayo? *Sigh* 1, he’s cute. 2, he’s hot. 3, he’s so yaman. 4, he’s so talino. And 5, he’s soo cute!" Sira talaga to. Inulit lang nya yung sinabi nya nung una eh.
"That’s it? Abby, ang tinatawag na PERFECT eh yung handsome, magalang, caring at HINDI KA SINISINGIL NG MALAKING HALAGA DAHIL--" Buti na lang at napigilan ko pa ang bibig ko. “…mayaman sya.” I blurted out.
“Eh yun, di naman yun magalang. So hindi sya perfect.”
“Bu--“
“At wag ka nang makipagtalo sakin dahil wala namang maitutulong yun sating dalawa.”

She invited me to hit the mall with her. Wala na kong pangamba ngayon kase isa rin palang ^crap^ ang lalaking yun. So, no worries. ^_^
Suddenly, i didn't notice the guy at my back was calling me when we're at the escalator.
"Miss, you dropped this?" he returned my wallet to me.
