Rhys Pov:

"My name is Yoo Azelle by the way, just call me Zel nalang" She introduced herself. I noticed na we didn't know each other's name nga pala, I guess we are both distracted.

"Rhys, Yang Rhys is my name, no nickname, my name's too short to have a nickname so I guess my name itself is a nickname haha" I introduced myself na rin, I don't know why I'm a bit shy today.

She then complimented me then said I would probably be the heartthrob in her village and school if I was there which I kept denying but nagsabi na rin ako ng thank you at the end. I feel really shy when someone compliments me, baka kasi hindi ako sanay and I'm not confident about myself rin.

We talked for awhile but then I have to go home so I have to say goodbye
"5:48 na pala, I have to go na, may gagawin pa kasi ako, goodbye Zel, thank you nga pala ah" sabi ko. "No problem ask me any questions, I'll try answering it if I have time, goodbye" she waved her hands then.

I walked away until I'm already far from him. I started running kasi parang uulan, the ocean is 15 minutes away from my house, Ewan ko if I can go home faster,  naghanap na lang ako ng malapit na place na pwede ko puntahan, I'm a very sickly person and ayaw ko magkasakit ulit. May nakita akong coffee shop so tumambay ako dun, luckily after 3 minutes, umulan siya. I wasn't really worried about it. Wala talaga akong gagawin, sinabi ko lang yun because I was too tired, I usually stay up to the ocean until 6:25 unless may gagawin ako or uulan.

I opened the door to this coffee shop and as expected, amoy coffee yung place which is really nice to smell. I went to an open chair and start chatting my one of my friends.

Never ko talaga mapapatiwalaan ang mga kaibigan ko lalo na sa mga ganitong bagay

Never ko talaga mapapatiwalaan ang mga kaibigan ko lalo na sa mga ganitong bagay. I sighed.
Wala akong magawa so I decided to order some coffee, I went to the counter and ordered some coffee
"Good Evening po sir, do you like anything? " The Barista asked politely. Nag greet din muna ako bago sabihin order ko, of course gusto ko maging mabait in front of everyone kahit man I'm the different type of person and you know what that is. I'm joking, mabait talaga ako.
"Hello po, Good evening, Just one small simple coffee lang, I wasn't really going here pero it rained eh haha" I told the Barista.
"Ah oo nga po eh, sige po diyan lang po kayo, mabilis din naman ang pag gawa nito" he said. So I stayed and waited. "Um can I take a pic of you making it? I just want to ask permission since ayaw ko po mag mukhang creep.
"Sige lang po, feel free to take a picture" the Barista accepted.

Kahit simple pa yung coffee na kinuha ko, I was still happy since mabango parin siya, It's been a long time since I dranked this so I'm really excited

Kahit simple pa yung coffee na kinuha ko, I was still happy since mabango parin siya, It's been a long time since I dranked this so I'm really excited.

"Sir, okay na po" The Barista is done doing the coffee, it only took 3 minutes. Hindi naman siya matagal pero maybe I was impatient since I'm really excited about drinking the coffee again.
"Thank you po, magkano po yan?" I thanked him. Sinabi niya sa akin na 32 pesos daw, so I checked my wallet but may nakita akong kamay sa counter and galing siya sa likod ko. Chineck ko kung Sino yun pero I don't know him, lalaki siya, he himself looks really rich, sinabi ko sa utak ko.

"Ito na po yung bayad para sakanya" sabi ng lalaki, I was really shocked since I have no idea who he is but I think the Barista knows him.
"Ay, good morning po, ikaw po pala friend niya" the Barista greeted. I was really confused kasi Hindi ko siya kilala, how does the Barista knows him? Baka friends din sila.
I don't know what to do kaya nag smile nalang ako sakaniya. Hala baka kidnapin din ako nito

"Yes we are friends. " sabi ng lalaki na mukhang mayaman, he then walked away, I don't have the chance to say thank you kasi umalis siya bigla bigla. I was in confusion talaga, like why would he pay for me? We don't know each other. I asked the Barista pero in a calm way, para Hindi mahalata na Hindi talaga kami magkaibigan.

"May tanong lang po ako, 1 month na po kami magkaibigan pero he doesn't say much  about himself, how do you know him? Is he a  friend of yours too? " I lied. The Barista then answered me "ah, Hindi talaga siya nagoopen up haha, we're not close or anything, I just know him since yung family niya ang may ari ng coffee shop na to, you probably know na only child siya so mostly siya ang nagbabantay ng shop. Mayaman po talaga sila".

I was in awe. I thought they're rich and I was correct.
"Ah okay sige thank you po" I thanked him again and decided to leave since it's almost 7:00. Wala na yung ulan.
