Naeexcite ako na ewan. Today is Friday, paglabas ko ng classroom sumilip ako sa Section A mga busy sila, 'talk about school stuffs' I thought. I just tilted my head and smiled, pababa n asana ako ng hagdan ng habulin ako ni Jacob
"El mamaya ah?" then he winks. Oh goodness ang killer smile Lord nasasaksihan ko nanaman!
"hmmm." Then I gave him a nod. I saw Jonas approaching at Jacob's back
"hey bro," he then turned to me "hi El, kapag hindi pogi si Jake mamaya, kami ni Mir hang sisihin mo ha?" he smiled na para bang alam na alam niya na ang magiging hitsura ng Jacob ko –wait Jacob ko? Hmmm sounds........ nice.
"okay Jonas, anong oras ka pupunta Jake?" I asked.
"6pm"
"alright, bye" I waved at them and was about to go down the stairs but I stopped when I heard what Jacob said
"See you tonight, I promise, bukas I'm your official suitor"
I looked back but he was already in their classroom doing some school works. I sighed
"I hope so" I whispered.
************
"anong oras daw ba ang punta niya?" dad asked while watching the news.
Uggggh! It's past 6pm at wala pa si Jake, didn't he know na dapat maaga siya? Ineexpect ko pa man din 5pm nandto na siya dahil sinabe niya at alam niyang 6pm ang uwi ni dad pero what the hell? 1 hour late? Jacob Eric Castillo I swear I'll get mad at you if you don't show up.
"dad oo pupunta yun katext ko nga ngayon oh," I waved my phone "and besides tumawag sina Mirh sakin kanina, paalis na siya nun"
I don't know what to feel, nag halo halo na, disappointment, kaba, inis, hiya –hiya kasi nagpaluto pa si dad ng spaghetti kay yaya Winey dahil first time daw to dapat daw memorable and wow! Mukhang memorable nga! It's raining so hard outside at 7:15 na. si yaya Winey kanina pa nakatayo sa may glass door –yes nandito kami sa lobby naghihintay kaasar talagaaa!
My phone buzzed
Jacob Castillo:
I'm here at Fast Lane.
What th hell? Anong fast lane? I typed a reply saying..
Me:
What the fuck Jake? Anong fast lane?
"dad may street bang fast lane dito?" I asked dad
"wala, anak alam mo niloloko ka lang niyan, kung yan pupunta talaga edi sana kanina pa siya andto, besides it's raining so hard. Kaya c'mon let's go back to our unit" tapos pumasok na siyang elevator sumunod na din si Gian.
I checked my phone and it showed 3 messages
Jacob Castillo:
You don't know this street?
Hey, anong tower ba?
Go out El!
Pagkabasa ko ng huling message kulang na lang magkanda dapa ako sa paglabas, yaya Winey followed me, I saw a silhouette sa may pila ng tricycle it looks like he's asking for directions, nahaharangan ng paying yung nagtatanong
"so siya nga yung kanina pa pabalik balik na nakapayong" I heard Yaya Winey said
"HA?" was all that I managed to say, when I looked back at the silhouette it was walking towards us and ............. OH MY GOOD GOD kahit madilim alam kong maydala siyang bouquet
