“Again, I have my ways” She continued to giggle “By the way, have I told you already that we’ll go out of the country for 2 weeks?” She asked Herbert.

“Huh? Wala, wala ka pang nasasabi. When? With who?” Herbert asked since he just knew about it now.

“Hmm this Sunday. With the whole family lang. Well of course minus Noy since he can’t make it. You know, workloads and he doesn’t really come with us often eh”

“Sunday? As in this coming Sunday?” Kris nodded as response while finishing the burger that Herbert bought her. “I see. Wala kang nabanggit sa ‘kin eh. So does that also mean I won’t be able to see you for 2 weeks?” He asked.

“Well we’ve been talking for days pa lang kasi again and maybe I forgot to make kwento. Anyway, yes this coming Sunday. Kaya nga I finished na all my commitments for the next 2 weeks eh. A&A tapes and such stuffs” She said. “HB, so clingy ah” She slaps his arm playfully while giggling.

“Me, clingy? Hindi ah” He jokingly denied. “Pero seriously, so I wouldn’t be able to see you nga for 2 weeks? You’ll be away eh”

“Hmm personally and physically, yes.. But hello, we can call or text? Or why not, facetime? Oh diba. There’s so many ways na already”

“Yeah, I guess? But iba pa rin of course yung personally kita nakikita and nakakausap. Hindi yung nasa screen ka lang ng phone ko ‘no”

“Grabe that’s for 2 weeks lang naman. It’s not like I’ll be away for a year or so” She said again, giggling.

“Oo nga, but you can’t blame me naman siguro if I’ll miss you?” Herbert looked at her straight in the eye.

“And that’s not what being clingy is all about ah?” Kris made faces which caused Herbert to laugh a bit.

“Hahaha ‘to naman. Eh kasi come to think of it, gaya nga ng sabi mo kanina, we just started to talk again. Ngayon mo pa lang ako kinausap ulit and kailan mo lang rin ako pinayagan to court you again. Then what? You'll be away na agad for 2 weeks? Paano na yun?" He asked.

"Diba there's this saying na if there's a will, then there's a way. Also, atleast you have 2 weeks to think and reflect regarding that you courting me thing. You have 2 weeks to backout pa!" She chuckled.

"Well I don't need that 2 weeks cause I don't have plans backing out anyway. Seryoso ako nung sinabi kong liligawan kita ulit. Tsaka isa pa, pumayag ka na nga oh, bibitawan ko pa ba yung chance?"

"Really ah?" She smirked, laughing a bit.

"Oo, really. Kilala mo 'ko. Pag sinabi ko, sinabi ko talaga. And pag seryoso ako, then seryoso talaga. Kaya ikaw, wala ka ng choice but to allow me to court you. You'll see this face more often ika nga" he booped her nose as they laughed.

"Well, I already agreed naman. So yeah, no choice nga. Joke!" They both laughed. "But ito seriously speaking pala, can I ask you something? Wala, I got curious lang kasi" Kris faced Herbert.

"Hmm? Yeah, sure. Go ahead and ask me anything lang. Basta hindi math, then game ako dyan" He laughed. "Wait, akin na. Ako na mag liligpit nyang pinagkainan mo. Birthday girl so dapat you're treated extra extra special ngayon" He smiled and started to fix Kris' vanity.
