*JEREMIAH’s POV

I’m Jeremiah Fisher. A 23-year-old. Half-American & Filipino. I studied in Canada and I went here for vacation. I decided na diri nalang sab ko mag iskwela sa cagayan.

I know how to speak bisaya kay ginatun-an ko sa akoang mama sauna since I was ten.

“ Bro? Are you okay? ” I asked Ace.

I’m Ace Kenneth’s bestfriend.

She looks so mad while looking at the CCTV cam.

“ Look. It's Josh.” sulti ni Kristof.

Josh Mandrid. 21-year-old. Rich, handsome, and dancer.The heart breaker. Every week lahi-lahi ang uyab. He's such a flirt. Way kabag-ohan. He’s also a half-korean and Filipino. So yeah, he knows how to speak bisaya.

gilantaw nako ang naa sa ccctv.

“He’s flirting with another girl again.” yaw-yaw ni Kristof.

He’s Kristof Mandrid. He’s 23-year-old. Brother of Josh Mandrid. They are both handsome.  He's opposite to Josh. He never talk or date girls. He's afraid to commit. Sakit siya mang-real talk. He’s a goal digger.

Gilantaw nako si Josh nga sige rag sunod atong server na babae which is mao poy hinungdan nga nangusmod si Ace ron.

He’s acting weird.

“ I can’t take this anymore.” Ace said and he went out to his office.

There is something wrong.

Kristof and I tried to stop him but he was too strong.

Naabot mi diri kung asa silang Josh ug katong babae. Sakto sab na gihawiran ni Josh ang hawak sa babae.

Ghez. Here we go again. Ace looks so done with them. This is not okay.

The girl feels uncomfortable with Josh.

God. She’s stunning, aysh no. This ain’t good.

“ Get your hands off on her or else i’ll cut your hands, stupid.” Ace coldly said to them.

Why does he act like this? Is he jealous? This is the first seeing him like this. He has never been interested in someone.

“ Calm down. That's your bestfriend.” I whispered to Ace.

“ I don’t care.” he responds.

Fuck. I want to laugh right now. Bro is inlove.

“ Chill. I’m just having fun.” Josh said ug gitapik niya si Ace.

“ You are not allowed to flirt or date her or anyone else here. Understood? ” Ace strictly said ug nitango ra si Josh.

“ Yes, master!” tubag ni Josh.

Siaw gud ning tawhana. Suko na kaayo si Ace sa iyaa pero gabinuang gihapon.

“ See you later.” Josh said to that girl and he winked at her.

Kita nako nga ga tutok ra ang babae kang Ace.

Hmm, I smell something fishy.

“ And you...” singgit ni Ace atong babae ug nakuratan siya.

Cute.

“ I’m Ace Kenneth Fabria. I’m your boss. It's time to work. You’re not also allowed to flirt with customer or someone else here. Understood? ” istrikto na sulti ni Ace sa babae.

That's too harsh, Ace.

“ Sorry to tell you this but I never flirt with customers, sir. ” she uttered.

Nalahi ang expression ni Ace.

Dang it. Gilantaw nako si ace nga nag-antos sa kapungot.

“ But still I’m sorry.” She apologized.

Nikalma na si Ace.

Gilantaw nako ang babae. Wala siya nahadlok or unsa. Kung ang uban pa ani nangurog na kay gikasab-an.

[ FAST FORWARD ]

Naa mi ron sa parking lot.

“ I want to know her name.” ana ni Josh ug gitutokan niya tong babae.

Me too. I want to know who she is.

“ You want to die?” sulti ni Ace sa iya ug nangluspad si Josh ug nangatawa ming duha ni Kristof.

Epic kaayog nawong si Josh.

“ I was kidding. Just chill.” ana ni Josh ug nikatawa.

“Shut up. That woman is mine, and find yours.” cold na sulti ni Ace ug pagkahuman gitaod niya iyang head phone.

“ He’s inlove with that girl? ” pangutana ni Josh.

Marites ning tawhana oh.

“ Are you dumb? Its obvious that he’s inlove with that girl.” tubag ni kristof ug nag-away silang duha kay gi-ingnan niyag bugok si Josh.

I told you. Sakit gud siya mangistorya.

I simply look at Ace. He’s smiling while looking at that girl.

Gipa-andar na nako ang sakyanan.

Damn this world. Some of my friends started dating and have a child, but look at me. I’m still single. But I’m still confused at that girl ganiha sa Mcdo. I want to know her, soonest.
