Meisie's POV

"Kailan moba ako balak ilibre, Jin?"Tanong ko sa best friend kong bartender. "kahit Cappuccino lang."

"The residual waste or household food waste?" Jin, asked me.

My brows furrowed. "Come on, how could you fight over the garbage sorting?... I think it's not about the garbage sorting! So please, kahit Cappuccino lang."

Tumingin ito saakin at ngumiti. "Saka na kita ililibre pag may boyfriend kana, hahaha."

"I'm born to be single forever! Come on, Jin!"




"Alright, alright! Here, my threat!" Inabot nya sakin ang isang baso ng kape.

"Thanks, what kind of coffee is this?"

"Caramel Macchiato!"

"Ahh..." Napa tango tango ako.

"Hello sir, do you buy a coffee?" Si Jin.

Lumingon ako sa likuran ko at ganun nalang ang gulat ko ng makita isang lalaki na nakatayo sa likuran ko. Oh god! He's so perfect!

"10 minutes 34 seconds had passed since you began to order your coffee. May I ask, if you've finished ordering?

Ay teh, sadista ka? Bilang talaga?

Nag flying hair muna ako saka nagsalita."I'm done. Go ahead!"

"Thank you."


"What's yours, sir?" Si Jin.

"Hello, make a latte for me." Sabi nya saka binigay ang puting note kay Jin. "According to what I wrote, thank you." He added.

Ay wow englishero? Nosebleed akers!

Nangunot ang noo ni Jin habang nakatingin sa white note na binigay nya.

"Sir, it's so meticulous." Jin uttered.

Magaling rin palang mag english ang kumag nato!

"If you see it a trouble, I can do it myself."


Wow, as in wow, he can make a latte?

Tumingin muna si Jin saakin bago tumango sa lalaking naka blue stripe tuxedo at black trouser.

"Thank you." He uttered as he starting to put a warm water on a cup.

"Anong ginagawa nya?" I asked to Jin.

"Puting a warm water... The water temperature should be controlled within precise 90°C, so that the aroma of coffee can be simulated without excessive tannin, which can cause bitter taste produced." Jin explained as he watched what's the stranger doing.

"Steam pressure should be controlled properly, so that dense and fine foam can be generated..." He sighed softly, "when mixing the coffee cup should lean at a 35 degree angle. The milk flow rate should be 2.5 cubic centimeters per second." He looked at me while nodding. I just gave him a I don't understand look. 

Tumango nalang ako kahit wala akong naintindihan.

Humarap saamin ang stranger at tumingin bago nya tinikman ang ginawa nyang latte. Nakita ko pakung paano nangunot ang noo nya ng matikman ang latte na ginawa nya saka tumingin kay Jin.
