Falling Into Your Plan

CHAPTER 3

''morning'' he said in deep voice. Nandito pa pala si Kaizen akala ko umalis nadin sya kasama nila Erine at Kuya Trev

I'm in the living room sitting at the floor and facing my laptop. I'm trying to write a plot or think of catchy titles. Unluckily my hands don't know what to click in my keyboard and my brain is empty right now.

''Bakit wala akong maisip?'' tanong ko sa sarili

Matapos ang ilang minuto ng pagtulala naramdaman ko ang paglapit sakin ni Kaizen.

''You can't think properly if you're hungry'' sabi nya sabay lapag ng sandwich at kape sa harap ko

''Hindi ako gutom'' walang emosyon kong sabi habang nakatingin parin sa screen at paulit ulit na pinipindot ang enter at backspace

''na-inlove kana ba?'' bigla kong tanong at tumingin sa kanya

''that's not in my vocabulary'' sagot nya na ikinagulat ko

He's tall, handsome and owned a Coffee shop. Nasa kanya na ang lahat pero wala sa vocabulary ang love? He somehow remind me of myself.

''oh, flirting lang?'' sarkastiko kong tanong, I think many girls is lining for him

he chuckle a bit ''ganyan ba tingin mo sakin?''

I remain silent.

''How about you, have you been in love?''

''I..'' hindi ko alam ang isasagot kaya kinuha ko muna ang tasa ng kape at uminom ng kaunti ''too bitter''

''You never been in love right?''

''It's just impossible for me to fall in love'' I said honestly. I feel shy

''hypocrite.'' mahina nyang sabi na narinig ko pa rin naman

''Trev said you're a writer... run out of words?'' bakit naman sinabi pa yun ni kuya Trev, required ba?

''Parang ganon na nga.'' malungkot kong sabi ''writing is to express but my mother forced me to write about something that I don't have anything to express'' pag amin ko

I don't know why I suddenly show emotions or what I feel. Am I losing control again? Or it's because he once saw how vulnerable I was kaya parang wala ng silbe if I pretend?

''Just follow your heart.'' what a nice suggestion pero galing sa kanya kaya wag na lang and beside do I have heart? Tapos anong alam nya sa bagay na  'yon? Yung coffee shop nga nya Alone ang pangalan.

''They said love is unexpected but it looks like planned'' sabi nya at humigop in kape

''That's my coffee'' kunot noo kong sabi

''I know. You said it's too bitter? I don't think so'' sagot nya at nakangising ibinaba ang tasa

''are you flirting with me?''  deretso kong tanong

''I will never do that.'' sagot nya, napakunot ang noo ko at ibinaling ulit ang tingin sa screen ng laptop

''I just miss my little sister, I badly want to see her'' he said then show his smile

''Edi puntahan mo'' sarkastiko kong suggestion, why do people like wanting something but never do something for it?

''It's not that easy. I still need to accomplish something to get her'' seryoso nyang sagot

Paano kami napunta sa ganitong  topic?

I pout then get the cup of coffee and take a sip ''it's really bitter, gusto ko yung may tamis na sakto lang''

''you kissed me indirectly'' natatawa nyang sabi na nagpabago sa ekspresyon ng mukha ko

Hindi ko na lang ito pinansin at agad na ibinaba ang tasa. Kinuha naman nya ito, ititimpla na lang daw nya ako ng bago dahil ayoko ng lasa non.
