I was so happy after that night. Nakangiti pa rin ako hanggang pag pasok ko sa school. We just spent a few more minutes after he called me by my name, and he went home, ayon lang sobrang saya ko na talaga!
"Dru, finafollow mo ba si Jiyo sa Instagram?!" biglang sigaw ni Pip at inakbayan ako.
Umiling ako. "Hindi,"
"Well, guess fucking what?!" tanong na naman niya.
Sabay pakita ng kaniyang phone niya sa akin. It was Jiyo's story, nakatalikod ako at nakikipag-tawanan kay mama, and may maliit lang na caption sa baba, with a grainy-filter. Shucks, ano? Totoo ba 'to?
'Happy birthday, dru'
Nagsisi-sigaw na si Pip pero ako natulala, gago shookt ako na kinikilig na ewan ko ba. Malay ko ba namang gagawin niya 'yon, kahit di naman kami close, alas onse na niya na-story 'yon, probably after he went home, natulog rin kasi ako agad dahil sa antok kaya siguro hindi ko na nakita 'yon.
"Ay by the way nakita mo na Salubong Prom party line-up?" biglang tanong ni Pip.
Umiling ako. "Patingin,"
Maraming intro intro but the singers caught my attention.
Jamming Session 9:00 - 11:00
Singers:
- Chevy Deviro ( BS. Legal Management)
- Azi Madriaga (BS. Medical Technology)
- Onel De'Bron - Guitarist (BS. Nursing)
Ah, 'yong Azi ata is 'yong diyosa na nakita ko sa library na kasama nina Chevy. 'Yong mukhang anghel na nakatitigan ko? Shet, maganda na talented pa, tapos makakasama niya pa si President Chevy, tangina pag sinusuwerte ka nga naman.
"I think crush ni Chevy 'yong Azi Madz," ani Pip.
I looked at her. "Crush? atsaka anong Madz?" kyuryosong tanong ko.
She rolled her eyes. "Crush niya 'yon lagi sila magkasama, o baka tanga lang ako at talagang student council secretary siya agad-agad. Atsaka 'Madz' tanga siyempre short for 'Madriaga' boba ka be?"
Sasagot pa lang ako kinalabit na ako bigla ni Pip at pinalingon sa gilid. President Chevy and the pretty innocent looking woman was walking along each other. Parehong maraming dala pero mas maraming dala si Chevy. I guess it's for student council since pareho silang councils. They were both talking seriously. Until the woman laughed that made Chevy smile, hala, President, ikaw ba 'yan?
"Shunga, hindi crush 'yon, pwede namang magkaibigan lang" umirap ako at tumawa.
Hinampas naman niya ako. "Oo na, boba na ako!"
Tinawanan ko lang siya at nag-gala gala na kami sa campus. We went around the school for an hour before going to our classes. Saglit lang din ang naging classes dahil may biglang important announcement from the President.
