PRIMO

Maaga akong umalis ng bahay dahil 10 a.m. mag sisimula ang taping namin sa bar ni Zircon. Dumaan muna ako sa sa café para bumili ng kape ko.

"One black coffee, please."

"Ito lang po sir?" I was about to nod when I noticed the mocha cookie crumble.
I grinned a little when Delia came to mind. Iniyakan niya talaga to, eh.

"Just add one Mocha Cookie Crumble." I pointed it.

Nang makuha ko ang inorder ko ay agad na akong lumabas ng café. Papasok na sana ako ng kotse ko nang may lalaking humawak sa balikat ko.

"Wait," he said.

Hinarap ko naman ito. "Yes? Do I know you?" tanong ko sa kaniya.
Tinignan ko siya. His face was familiar. Saan ko nga ba nakita 'to?

"Remember when we met last time? Outside the bar?"

Sandali muna akong nag isip. Oh! I remembered him. He was the man Delia had previously appeared to avoid outside the bar. Ano ba kailangan nito?

"Ah... I remembered you. So what do you want? What can I help you?" Diretsong tanong ko sa kaniya.

As his hand went into his pocket, he grinned at me. "I just wanted to know if you were dating Beryl."

The words he spoke astounded me.
Beryl? Who Beryl? Pag kakaalala ko wala naman akong naging chic na Beryl ang name. Ganun na ba karami ang naging chix ko para di ko maalala ang Beryl na sinasabi niya.

"Beryl? Sorry, I don't know anyone with the name Beryl". Sino ba kasi 'yon? Lahat ng naging babae ko kilala ko at hindi naman sila masiyadong madami para makalimutan ko.

"She probably avoided using her other name so that she wouldn't be identified." Gumuhit ang bahagyang ngisi sa kaniyang labi. "I'm also a fool. Why wasn't I able to recall her other name right away?"

Nagugulohan ako sa sinasabi niya. Hindi naman siya mukang baliw pero ang weird niya. "Pardon me?"

He deeply sighed and face me again.
"Nevermind. Thanks for your time." Nginitian niya muna ako bago umalis.
"Weird," i uttered andIshook may head before i entered my car.

Pag dating ko sa set ay agad kong pinarada ang sasakyan ko.

"Woah! New car?" Napalingon ako nang may mag salita sa likod ko.

"Oh bro!" Lumapit ako sa kaniya at nakipag fist bomb. He is Sebastian Berk, one of my buddies.

"Bago?" He pointed my car.

"Yeah, kakakuha ko lang sa company ni Yves kahapon," sagot ko sa kaniya.

Lumapit ito sa sasakyan at inikotan ito na parang sinusuri. "Basta sasakyan talaga ang pag uusapan walang palya si Yves," he said and Chuckled.

"As always." Pag sang ayon ko naman. "By the way, what's bring you here?" I asked.
Ang aga naman ata kung iinom siya sa bar ni Zircon ng ganitong oras.

"Zircon and I were going somewhere today but may taping pala kayo sa bar niya kaya hindi na kami matutuloy. He forgot to tell me," he answered. He put his hand on his pocket at tumingin sa kawalan.

I heard him sighed deeply. I know his in troubled. Hindi naman siya ganito kung walang problema.

"Any problem?" I asked. Muli niya akong tinignan at nginisihan 'tsaka lumapit sa akin at inakbayan ako.
