" Kilala mo ba yung lalake kanina? " pagtanong ko rito.
We are currently in robinsons lipa kung saan, strangely. Walang katao-tao sa kinakainan naming resto.
Sandali siyang natense at pinagpatuloy ang pagsimot ng kanyang ramen.
Grabe naman sa bagal nitong lalaking to kumain -_-
" Huy! " i said as i poked his side. Naubusan na kasi kami ng topic kaya ko siya kinukulit ngayon.
Ni ayaw niya nga rin sagutin kung anung laman at para saan nung dala niyang maliit na tattered bag. Hawak niya kasi yun simula pa kanina. Ayaw nang bitawan! Eh hindi naman talaga un nagdadala ng bag!
Oh well. I respect his privacy about that, but not about sa magtitinda kanina. Sa nakakatakot niya kasing tono kanina, hindi maikakailang galit siya doon or sadyang kilala niya lang.
" Ano? " tanong niya sa akin. Timo ito, hindi pala nakikinig! -_-
" Psh! Nakakainis ka ha. All this time ba hindi ka nakikinig?? "
God! He's so ... Argh!
Padabog kong binaba ang aking chopsticks sa lamesa which caught alot of attention.
" H-hindi ko siya kilala " sagot niya bago umiwas ng tingin.
" Promise? " 0.o
Bakit niya kailangan umiwas ng tingin?
" P-promise.. " sabi nito ng nakatungo.
Pero bakit parang may mali?
I know him well. He knows how to hold on to his promises.
" Tsk. Tingnan mu kaya ako?" inangat ko ang kanyang mukha, kaya napatingin siya sa aking mga mata.
" Now, promise me. " sabi ko ng nakangiti.
He sighed then finally gave up. " Fine! I promise! " he said with his hands raised bago guluhin ang buhok ko.
I pouted. " Kainis naman ei! You can promise naman without ruing my hair. " as i mend my toussled hair.
" Haha. Ikaw naman kasi. You know i can't lie to you naman di ba, bakit kailangan pa magpromise? "
I smiled. " Better be sure than sorry. "
" Listen, i need to tell you something-- " he was cut off by the ringing of my phone.
Kinapa ko ito and took it out. As i saw the id name, i pushed the answer button.
Patayo na ako ng maalala ko si Caizer. " Do you mind? " God i'm so rude for not asking.
" Um. No, go ahead. Take your precious time." he said bago bumuga ng hangin na kala mo pinipigil ang paghinga.
" Hello? " bungad ko sa caller as i walked out of the mall. Maingay kasi sa loob. Matataka pa siya kung nasaan ako. I just wanted to lessen the questions i needed to answer.
" How is my princess? Did you missed me? " sabi ng nasa kabilang linya.
" How can i not miss my favorite person in the world? " i said grinning.
" Oh stop it! I know you too well. Alam ko naman kung anung gusto mong pasalubong when i get home. " she said in between laughs.
She's right. She knows me too well to know what the hidden message is. :)
Nasanay na kasi akong uumaalis siya palagi to run businesses in other countries. Cause in return, i'll have a dozen of designer outfits and shoes i was dying to have bilang pasalubong. It sucks being away from the only family left i have.. But hey, who can turn down an impossible opportunity right? :)))))
" Hindi naman ganoon palagi lola! " i retorted.
Kasi madalas? Haha!
" It's fine iha, i can't blame you for choosing that bilang pambawi sa time we should've spent together. Anyways, i hope you've been good young lady these days that came. You should've realized by now that JP's doing me an enormous favor for taking care of you for me, right? "
" Y-yes lola... "
like i made him so mad at me that i don't know how to approach him anymore. "
I'm -- We're getting along naman po "
more like we would never ever be fine again after what i've done. -_-"
Ugh! Is it my fault he told me he loves me in front of the whole freaking class without any heads up on what's coming?? Hindi ba pwedeng magwarning muna? Mud lang talaga eh. Kung alam ko lang, di sana i didnt rejected him that bad!
...so you're still gonna reject him?
Fuck! I'm so frustrated with all the problems i have, my eyes are starting to water.
Ni hindi ko pa nga naso-solve yung problema ko sa Nurse na nagsabing may sakit ako eh. Tas dadagdag pa si JP!
Bigti na teh. T^T
Wait. Hindi ba't siya rin yung nakabangga ko sa park kanina na nakawheelchair?
" Ahm lola, i need to ask you about something .. "
Tanungin ko na kaya ung tungkol kay Nurse Rita? It's better to know while i can right?
" I'm sorry, i gotta go now iha, there was an emergency. Sorry for leaving for a short notice. Please do me a favor , at kamustahin mo si JP for me. Also give him my thanks. "
" But-- " Damn. I need to protest!
"I'm sorry lola, magkaaway kami eh, how am i supposed to talk to him?" not a good option!
" By the way, i have an announcement and a big suprise for you when i get home. I'll be there before you know it. Love you. " i heard her hurriedly say before the call ended ringtone.
I don't think i can take anymore suprises lola, my head's too full right now i can't keep up with all the questions in my head!
Nakatungo akong naglakad pabalik.
Darn you people. Darn that Nurse Rita. Darn that JP. Darn that magtitinda ng cotton candy. Darn everyone who's messing with my head right now. -_-
Nasa bukana na ako ng restaurant ng bigla na lang sumakit ung ulo ko. God! Parang pinipiga sa sobrang sakit. It's not a first,but damn! It's too much to bear! Too painful causing me to almost faint.
" I-i'm sorry " sabi ko sa lalaking sumalo sakin mula sa pagkakabagsak. As my head became more managable, i looked into the mess i've made and picked them one by one.
Why do i have to be so clumsy? Nasira tuloy ung tattered bag na hawak nung lalake kase dun ako napakapit kanina.
" Ang yaman pala ng kaibigan mo miss. " sabi niya habang pinupulot namin ang perang nagkalat mula sa nasira kong bag niya.
Teka, hindi ba't ganitong ganito yung kay Caizer? It even has the same initials in it.
We stood up and arranged ourselves. Sa pagtayo ko, i glanced at him.
Wearing his neat and well-ironed black tux, he flashed a smile.
" Hello to you again. What a small world isn't it? " he sarcastically said.
oooooooooooooooooooooo
