“Did you know that Einstein once said, 'Nothing is faster than light'?” tanong ko. He took off his eyeglasses.
“Yes, what about it?” he said. Ang seryoso naman nito masyado.
“He obviously didn't saw how fast I've developed feelings for you.” sabi ko tapos humagikhik.
Uminom siya ng alak while looking at me. I looked at him back.
[Phone Rings]
Napatingin ako sa phone kong may tumatawag. Si Tres ang tumingin kung sinong tumatawag tapos sinagot niya ito. Hinayaan ko lang siya.
“Tell them we can't go.” sabi niya tapos binaba agad ang tawag. Napaawang ang bibig ko.
He put my phone back to where it was before someone called.
“Who called?” tanong ko.
“You're orange drink friend.”
Muntik pa akong matawa sa sinabi niya.
“You're so mean.” I said to him.
“What did she said?” I added.
“They're having a drink at her place with my friends.” Sagot niya. Napataas ang dalawa kong kilay.
“Let's go then.” sabi ko. Umiling siya, “I still have to finish my works.” Tumango lang ako.
Umayos na siya ng upo at sinuot ulit ang eyeglasses niya. Napatitig ako sa kanya.
“That eyeglasses suits you,” I complimented.
“What's your major again?” he asked, ignoring what I said while his eyes are still on what he's doing.
“Ang cute mo sa eyeglasses na 'yan.” sabi ko habang natatawa.
“Yadi.” pagbabanta niya.
“I love how you say my name.” dagdag ko. Natatawa ako sa reaction niya, super!
“Yadi.” he repeated. Okay, madali naman akong kausap.
“Creative writing.” sagot ko sa tanong niya. Natahimik kami sandali.
“You're in a public comfort room. What would you do if someone stabs you from the back? Whereas obviously hindi mo siya nakita ng harapan. How will you be able to know who stabbed you?” sabi niya bigla. Sabi na, e. Napaisip tuloy ako.
“I would ask for you and my dad's help and bobo siya kasi may salamin.” sabi ko. Nagpoker face siya.
“Yadi.”
“Aish! Kaya nga hindi ako nag-legal, e!” maktol ko tapos inubos ang laman ng baso ko.
Bumalik na lang siya sa pagtatype.
“Anong subject niyo ba 'yan?” tanong ko.
“Understanding.” maikli niyang sagot.
Nakakagutom namang makipag-usap kay Tres. Maka-order nga ng pagkain.
Nag-order ako ng dalawang pizza, apat na coke float, dalawang fries, isang cheese burger at isang gallon ng cookies 'n cream flavored ice cream. Gutom ako, okay?
I've waited for like 20 minutes bago ako makarinig na may nagdoorbell. Nagkatinginan kami ni Tres.
“I ordered some food.” sabi ko tapos tumayo. Binuksan ko ang pinto at kinuha ang order ko. I already paid online.
“Tres, help me take these!” sigaw ko.
“These? Did you ordered a lot?” rinig kong tanong niya. Umiling ako.
