Asteria Gutierrez
"Hello." Mahinang sabi ko dahil maraming tao ang nasa paligid ko at mahirap na baka may makarinig sa pag-uusap namin
"Hi, love. Are you out? I can hear the noise in your background." Kahit ako ay nakakarinig ng mga taong nagsasalita malapit sa kanya pero normal ito dahil may trabaho pa siya.
"Yup, I'm with a friend." Sabi ko habang sinusundan ng tingin si Nicole. Mahirap na at baka madumog siya.
"Oh, okay. Be safe." The corner of my mouth lifted cause I can hear the hesitation in his voice. I think he wants to ask who I'm with.
"You're not gonna ask me kung sino ang kasama ko?" Hindi ko napigilang itanong 'to sa kanya.
"Ah." Napangiti ako lalo sa sinabi niya. Ilang segundo ang lumipas bago siya magsalita ulit. "I'm curious, but it's still your choice if you're going to tell me who you're with. But, it would really set my mind and heart in peace if you tell me, pero sabi ko nga hindi mo naman kailangan sabihin. If you don't want to tell me, it's okay but please do tell me if you're safe, that's all I want to know." The smile I'm holding back is now showing on my face.
"Oh bat ngiti ngiti ka diyan?" Hindi ko napansin na nasa harap ko na si Nicole kaya naman agad kong inalis ang ngiti sa mukha ko at umarteng walang nangyari.
"Si Lucas ba kausap mo? Hoy Lucas naka-uwi na ako!" Lumapit siya sa phone ko at sumigaw dito.
"Hindi yan si Kuya." Narinig kong tumawa si Caelum kaya naman nilayo ko ang phone ko kay Nicole.
She looked at me suspiciously. "Who are you talking with Asteria? Hmmm?" She put her hands on her hips and I don't how I would answer him.
I stared back at her. "A f-friend." Bobo ka ba Asteria? Bat ka nautal.
"A friend, huh." Sabi ni Caelum. "Well, I can change that status that you've given me to a boyfriend, or much better a husband." Namula ako sa sinabi niya at dahil hindi ko na kaya ang pressure ng tingin ni Nicole sakin at ang lakas ng tibok ng puso ko sa sinabi ni Caelum ay pinatay ko na ang tawag.
Sorry Caelum hindi ko kaya ang mga sinasabi mo, baka mamatay ako sa kilig.
"So who's that? Hay, whatever, sabihin mo nalang kung kelan mo gustong sabihin." This is one of the reasons why I love Nicole. She waits for me to tell her something and she won't force information out of my mouth.
Tumayo ako at niyakap siya. Niyakap naman niya ako pabalik. "Why? Are you sad?" She asked me.
"No, I'm really really happy and my day got better because I saw you." I told her and released her from my hug. Inakbayan ko siya at naglakad kami papunta sa cashier. "Are you done na ba?"
"Yup, magbabayad na lang ako." Karating namin sa cashier ay nakapaper bag na ang mga pinamili niya at nagbayad na siya.
"Let's eat ice cream!" She told me excitedly after we left the store. I nodded at her and we walked to the ice cream shop.
