It's been a week since I chilled. I was really busy finalizing my part as a debate student in our school. I find it really difficult but I don't know why I'm still improving. Well, that's what my sister told me.

Medyo nagkausap na kami about what happened to me and she agreed responsibly. She agreed that I can have some time to talk to Ice pero hindi pwedeng palagi dahil baka hindi siya makatimpi at puntahan niya ako. I knew ate better and what she said ay magagawa niya talaga.

As the day Sunday started too, I was really nervous para bukas. I shouldn't be nervous but I remembered I'll be facing him again tomorrow. We didn't saw each other these days because we're busy about the same page we're taking.

I looked at the window and it's raining. The water keeps on falling and now it makes me feel a steamy yet cold feeling embracing me. I like being around and sorrounded with peace and quiet commotion.  Medyo tahimik ang paligid na to kasi village, and I would gladly say na marami talaga akong gusto sa lugar na to.

Natinag ako ng tumunog yung bell ng cellphone ko. I peeked at nakita kong nagpop yung notification na nagpalit si Ice ng cover photo.

Binilisan ko nalang ang pagtingin at napatakip sa bibig ng makitang ako yun at siya. Nakangiti ako habang siya naman ay nakatingin sakin na parang sinasaulo yung mukha ko.

He does have a caption.

‘Amore’

Napangiti nalang ako pero hindi ako natablan na kahit na anong pakiramdam. Gusto ko munang magkusa na lumabas to, I don't wanna dehydrate my way of giving myself happiness para lang masabing gusto ko na yung tao.

I opened my laptop as I sat in the couch infront of my bed. In-off ko yung ilaw at ready na sanang gumawa ng possible script bukas pero may kumatok sa pinto ko. I was shocked pero baka si Ate lang.

“Jasmine, nagpadeliver kaba? May pagkain sa baba, and marami siya,” I squinted as I heard what my sister says, “What? Bat ka ganyan makatingin? I swear I didn't. Oo gutom ang Ate mo pero di ako bibili sa labas marami kasing ulam sa ref.” she said while cooly  laying her head at the corner of the door.

“What? Ako din, hindi ako nag order pero yeah gutom ako, san ba yung delivery guy? I'll pay nalang—”

She chuckled, “He's gone, may nagbayad na daw.”

“Ha?”

Sasagot pa sana siya pero nag ring yung cellphone ko kaya napatingin ako dun. It was Yelo.

[Yes?] I answered.

[I saw your status, you're hungry right? Go eat. Natanggap mo na ba? I hope na gusto mo yung Jollibee.] he asked.

[Huh? Ikaw?]

[Yeah? Why not? You're hungry, and I don't allow you being hungry Jas, I can't see you starving. Ang payat mo na.] he said and I think he's washing the plates?

[T-thanks, ah... pwede naman na wag na Ice. Nakakahiyaaa] I acted like nahihiya ako. Pero sa totoo lang narinig ko palang ang pangalan ni Jollibee napatanga talaga ako.

Parang gusto ko ng kumain.

[You're welcome, don't be shy. So... I'll better get going, go eat na. Bye, 831 Jas.] he said as he dropped the call.
