Hiraya's POV:

Naglalakad-lakad naman ako sa palibot ng capitol just to observe people.

Si Mirana naman ang naka-toka sa may entrance banda.

Being a police woman was never my dream but it made me a better person.

Serving the Filipino People.

"Hey.." Paglingon ko it was Simon.

"Hi sir. Good Morning." I greeted him.

"Hi. what are you doing here?" He asked.

Ang tangkad pala nya.

"Dito po ako naka-duty today. Kasama ko din si Mirana pero nasa entrance sya ngayon po." I told him.

"I see.. Well I came here para sa meeting din ni Sandro. My mom told me so." He was smiling.

I never usually see him smile.

"Ah oo, I just saw sir Sandro pumasok sa office ni governor po."

"Oh.. so you already talked to Sandro?" His smiled brightened.

I nodded yes.

"That's good. Anyways, can I invite you to dinner mamaya?" He asked.

Nagulat naman ako.

"Po? Dinner?"

"Yes. I'll pick you mamaya mga 7 in the evening. Is that okay?"

"Um.. Yes... I guess.."

"Great..um..can I have your number Hiraya?"

"Hindi binigay ni Sandro yung number mo eh."

Hindi ko na alam anong nangyayari.

"Ah.. uh.. sige po sir." I gave him my number and kitang kita ko yung tuwa nya.

"Thank you Hiraya.. I'll see you later ha?" He said as he held my arm.

"Simon." We both looked back and it was Sandro.

"Hey bro.. Hiraya already said yes. Magdidinner kami mamaya." He told Sandro.

I looked at him and he was also stunned.

"Wha--"

"Thank you bro." He tapped him at dumiretso na si Simon papasok ng office ni governor.

"Hiraya--"

"What was that?" I asked him while trying to laugh.

I am so confused.

"Hiraya...Simon..he asked me to set you up on a date with him." He said.

Natulala naman ako.

"Ha?" I asked.

"I'm sorry.. I was supposed to ask you kanina.. nawala lang sa isipan ko--"

"Did you want me to go out with him?" Tanong ko which made him speechless.

Nagkatinginan naman kaming dalawa.

Trying to find the right words to say to each other.

"Hiraya..I--"

"Sandro. Matthew is already looking for you. The meeting will start na daw."

Simon interrupted us.

"Yeah.. I'm coming." Sandro answered.

"Hiraya, I'll see you at dinner. Okay?" Simon said to me.

Ngumiti lang ako sa kanya.

"Hiraya, I'll talk to you later. Okay?" Sandro told me and naglakad na sya papasok sa office.

"Sandro... sandali.." I stopped him.

Agad niya naman akong nilingon.

He was smiling at me.

"Hiraya.."

He said.

I was about to walked towards him when I saw Mirana behind Sandro.

Nakangiti sa akin.

And it made me remember.

"Um..I'll see you later." I said to Sandro.

I can see the disappointment in his eyes.

"Yeah.. okay." He answered at patuloy na naglakad papasok ng office.

Nakasalubong nya naman si Mirana na abot tenga ang ngiti.

"Hi sir Sandro." She greeted him.

"Hi Mirana." He answered.

Bago naman pumasok si Sandro, he looked at me and gave me a faint smile.

Ngumiti din ako sa kanya and gave him the answer in my mind.

Ang sagot sa tanong ko sa kanya kung gusto nya ba na magkita kami ni Simon mamaya for dinner.

And I was hoping he'd say no.
