CHER'S POV

Cringgg!!!- phone ringing

Cringg!!! Cringgg!!!- ring ng phone ko na gumising sakin

Tsk! Ang aga aga instorbo naman to- reklamo ko

Sino ba to?- bulong ko when I saw an unregistered number

Hello?- sagot ko sa tawag

Uhm hi—

Sino ba to? Bat ang aga aga nang iistorbo ka ng tulog ng may tulog?- inis na putol ko rito

Ah sorry—

I don't take sorry. So ano bang pakay mo aber? Make sure it has sense or else...- makahulugan kong sabi

Is this Shane Gomez?- a guy with a pasado na kind of voice coming from the other line asked

Nope—

Then by chance do you know Shane—

Gosh sino ba to? Aw! Baka scammer! Oh my god ang aga aga mambibiktima- sabi kosa isip ko

No—

Are you—

The guy on the other line didn't got the chance to continue his question nang patayan ko na sya ng tawag

How rude- I said thingking of that guy who keeps on cutting my word

What's wrong with you mr. pouty lips?- my best friend coming from my condo's door asked

Someone called and you know what? He's so rude! He keeps on cutting my words like as if he has no manners-inis kong paliwanag

Well knowing you, maybe you cut his words as well- he said

Sino bang kaibigan mo ha? Bat parang sa iba ka pa kumakampi?- sermon ko rito

Haist ang aga aga ang init agad ng ulo mo, tinanong mo man lang ba kung sino yung tumawag and what that person need from you?- paglilihis nya sa inis ko sa kanya

Oh it's nothing, he's just looking for a person named Shane Gomez—

I didn't finish what I'm saying ng mag sink in sakin ang sinasabi ko at maya maya pa ay nalipat ang tingin ko sa kabigan ko na nakataas ang dawalang kilay na nakatingin sakin habang nakaturo ang isang daliri nya sa sarili nya so I guiltily smile at him and make a peace sign

Then... Sino pala ko?- Shane asked

Oh shoot!-nasabi ko na lang sabay sapok sa sarili ko

Haist! Bwisit ka talaga!- inis na sabi ni Shane sakin at akmang babatukan ako

Hep!!! Taympers!!!- awat ko

Staph, staph, stap!!- I added

ART'S POV

Are you—

Tooot! Toot!!!- tunog ng phone ko kaya naman agad ko itong chineck

Anak ka ng!- I said after I saw na pinatayan pala ko ng tawag ng kung sinong walang manners na sumagot ng tawag ko at sa inis ko ay agad kong di nial ang number ng kaibigan kong si Migo na agad nya namang sinagot

Baket?- he asked

Akala ko ba number ni Shane yung binigay mo?- I asked

Haist! Diba sinabi ko na sayo? Shane doesn't usually use cellphone. Nakikigamit nga lang kasi sya friend nya—

But the person who answered my call says that he doesn't know Shane- putol ko

He?- Migo asked

Ah! Maybe it's Cher—

Cher? Cher who? Cher mo lang?- I asked

Shane's best friend- Migo answered

But he said that—

Ah wait- I said when an incoming call pop up to my screen with an unregistered number but then I'm aware who's number it was

Tatawagan na lang ulit kita- I told Migo before ending the call then answer the new one

Hello?- I answered

Ah hehe, hi- the guy akwardly said

What?- I asked

Ah ...—

Akin na nga- a voice coming from someone on the other line

Ahm hello?- sabi nito sa cellphone so it gives me the clue na inagaw nito ang cellphone sa kausap ko kanina

I heard you're looking for me?- dagdag nito

A-are you...- I meaningfully asked

Yep. I'm Shane Gomez, bakit mo ko hinahanap and how can I help you?- straight na sabi nito

Ah well, I got your friends number from—

Please be stright to the point-putol nya

Ah okay- medyo kinakabahan kong sabi at napaisip ng right word to say

So...- tanong nito

Will you be my cousins tutor?- mabilis kong sabi

Ahh....-sabi nito

I'm sorry but no- he added

SHANE'S POV

Ansabe?- usisa sakin ni Cher pagkababa ko ng phone nya

He asking me to tutor- sagot ko

Tutor whom?- Cher asked

Hindi ko na tinanong- sagot ko

Bakit?- he asked

Well hindi ko naman tinanggap yung trabaho so why would I waste me and his time?- balik ko

Ting!-tunog ng phone ni Cher kasabay ng nagpop up na message

I'll double the salary- the guy whom I talked to ealier texted

Or triple- another text pop up

Uy- Cher said

Higher?- he asked me and we devilishly look at one another

No- bawi ko sabay kuha ng phone nito at pinindot ang message

Sorry but no talaga- I texted back

Please...- another text pop up and after a little minute of katahimikan a last message pop up

Atleast talk to my cousinsparents- sabi sa message
