Chapter 3 New Friend Or New Suitor?

Bago matulog nagopen muna ako ng facebook, may friend request ako, Nathan Ramirez, tiningnan ko muna ang profile at mga uploads, mostly nakaprivate, isang profile picture lang ang nakapublic so tiningnan ko mga comments and likes, infairness ang daming comments, mukhang friendly pala talaga sya, kaya lang bakit nilalike lang nya yong mga comments, hindi nya nirereply, hmm may pagkasuplado ba, may pagkaprivate person or baka busy lang sa life? "

" accept" 

sabay click, ang dami nya palang post, mahilig din sya magtravel ang daming album, boracay, siargao, buhol, baler, balisin, meron pang thailand, hongkong and singapore, may mga pictures din ng mga celebrations and party nila ng mga friends nya, mukhang may kaya pala sa buhay si nathan, kung sabagay nasa itsura naman, may girlfriend na kaya sya? Nagbrowse pa ako ng konte but wala akong nakita na post or pictures na may gf na sya, natawa na lang ako sa sarili ko

" ano ba pakialam ko di ba" ?
Para ba namang magugustuhan ako ni nathan even wala syang gf, sa itsura nito and sa status sa buhay, pati way of living hindi kami bagay.

For a week naghintay pa rin kami ng tawag don sa pinagapplyan namin ni ashley, pero wala so ibig sabihin lang siguro na hindi kami natanggap, kaya nagapply na lang kami ni ashley sa online teaching, natanggap naman kami agad, flexible ang time, may 2 korean students akong tinuturuan ng english 2 hrs a day per student, madali lang naman kasi mismong sila ang nagpoprovide ng ituturo ko and isesend nila sa kin weekly ang lesson plan ko, mas maganda nga to kasi at least nandito pa din ako kasama sila lola and at the same time dito lang ako sa bahay so my time pa ako for daily chores and alagaan sila lolo at lola

" 10 messages sa inbox ko, bihira lang kasi ako magopen ng facebook, kadalasan every night lang bago ako matulog

5 messages from my other friend, may 1 na message si mama but forwarded message lang na prayer, 4 messages from nathan ramirez

Whaaaattt???? "Bakit nya ko imemessage?" ah baka chain messages, baka wala lang sya ibang maforwardan, ewan ko ba bakit parang hindi ko maintindihan kung excited ba akong iopen tong message na to or kinakabahan ako, teka bakit ako kakabahan, bakit ako maeexcite? Para lang akong timang

" hoy, cielo umayos ka ha, NBSb ka so pangatawanan mo yan, hindi ka madaling ligawan or magkacrush" sabi ko sa sarili ko habang nakatitig sa inbox ko

"open messages" click

1st message: hi cielo, this is nathan, remember me?

WTF! " sira ba to, of course I remember you" o bakit parang kinikilig pa ako, eh tinatanong lang naman nya kung natatandaan ko daw sya. " assuming lang?"

Reply from nathan: hey, I thought you'll just ignore me 😁 how are you?
Reply from me: ah, no naman, I only check my facebook few times a day, only seen your messages just now.

I'm okay, thanks 😊

Reply from nathan: It's my birthday on saturday, can you come? You can bring friends if you like, 8 pm @ maddington place, suite 218.

Reply from me: I'm not sure if I can come, my grandparents won't allow me for sure, Im from bulacan pa kasi and gabi pa. Anyway, advance happy birthday!

Reply from nathan: oh, i thought you live here in makati, sad to know you can't come☹️ think about it, let me know before saturday.  Hope you changed your mind, i could pick you up, about 4 pm?

Reply from me: I'll ask my grandparents and my bestfriend first, i'll let you know soon. 😊

Reply from nathan: okay, let me know ASAP,  I'll be so happy if you'll attend. Can't wait to see you again.

"WTF! Nagpapahaging ba to? Nanliligaw na ba to? Hindi ba ako nagiimagine or assuming?  Feeling close agad, eh ni wala pa nga kaming 5 minutes nagusap nito, ah siguro pinapasakay lang ako nito, baka lahat ng nakikilala nito eh ganito style nya," sorry nathan i'm not easy, gago na to komo gwapo eh feeling nya magkakandarapa akong umattend sa birthday nya, masyadong confident.

Sorry ka but I won't fall for that style.
Hindi na ako nagreply, nagsign out na din ako, itutulog ko na lang to no, kesa maniwala sa pambobola nya.
