Tumunog ang doorbell. Nagkatinginan kami ni Ria. I walked towards the door and opened it. A man in a leather jacket welcomed our eyes. Tinanggal nito ang suot na black cap at ngumiti.

"Magandang hapon mga binibini," bahagya siyang yumuko habang nakalagay sa dibdib ang sumbrero."I'm Patrick Adamson. Licensed private investigator at your service," saglit akong napatunganga.

So he's what Ria's talking about earlier. Siya pala iyong taong sinabi n'yang makakatulong sa amin. Hindi kasi sinabi ng bruha na investigator pala, may nalalaman pang pasorpresa, ayaw nalang deretsuhin. Daming gimik.

"Hello, Mr. Patrick! Halika pasok ka!" Anyaya ni Ria na tumabi sa akin.

Patrick smiled at pumasok nga. She accompanied him to the living room. Napailing ako at isinara ang pinto. Look at this bruha, hindi ako na-inform na siya na pala ang may ari nitong condo. Kung maka-anyaya ba naman, dinaig pa ako. Naghanda ako ng paninagong snacks, naubos na namin iyong snacks kanina. I took one slice of mocha cake including grape juice from refrigerator and put it above the table.

"Alam mo, Cha, pwede ka na mag-asawa." Sabi bigla ng luka kaya pinandilatan ko.

I heard Patrick chuckles. Inilabas nito ang laptop at nagsimulang magtipa. Ria was smirking and I don't care why. Baka naluluka na naman. Tumingin na lamang ako sa bawat ginagawa nitong private investigator. I told him to eat the snacks I prepared. He seems shy but later on, kinain din niya. Nakikisalo si Ria by the way.

"So Ms. Chantal, you only knew his name, that's all?" He asked while eyes glued at the screen.

Tumango ako."Oo, pangalan lamang niya. Iyon lang kasi ang sinabi sa 'kin ng Mommy ko,"

He nod his head continuously and typed something.

"When is your birthday?"

"October 18 1984," I answered.

Nagtipa muli siya. Pagkatapos ay narinig ko ang nababagot na buntong hininga ng kaibigan."Mr. Patrick, single ka ba?" It suddenly came out her mouth.

Patrick stopped and looked at her, confusingly. I rolled my eyes exaggeratedly. She's starting again. Inulit niya ang tanong. Patrick chuckled shyly.

"Uhm, yes. I'm single.. but not ready to mingle," buo niyang sabi at pinasadahan ng palad ang buhok.

Napasimangot si Ria."Ay, bakit naman? Ayaw mo kahit landian lang?" She's really pushing it, oh my goodness.

Patrick is a fair guy. He has jet black hair and soft features. He's obviously a bachelor, okay, hot bachelor. Bagay sa kaniya ang suot na black leather jacket at cap. Lakas maka-astig datingan.

Umiling ito."I don't do flirting. I'm focusing in my expertise,"

"That's good! Much better, I'm telling you." Singit ko. Syempre, hindi ko hahayaang lasunin ng maharot kong kaibigan ang utak nito.

He smiled. Ria scoffed.

"Killjoy mo, Cha." I smirked at her."Pero payag ka kung ako lalandi sa 'yo?" Patrick's and my eyes both widened. Kinurot ko na sa singit,"Ouch!"

"May boyfriend ka na, bruha pero ang harot mo parin! Sumbong kita kay Ymson, e!" Panakot ko. She pouted.

"Nagbibiro lang naman ako..." humaba ang kaniyang nguso.
