One week passed and no signs of Eros. Maybe God answer my prayer na wala nang mangugulo sakin.
I'm on the mall with Carl as usual. He said before kami magservice, magshoshopping and we'll watch movie daw muna.
"What do want to do first? Sine or shopping?" He asked me.
Hindi ako hinintay makapili. Nauna sya maglakad and he entered BK.
"Pinapili moko then di moko hihintayin sumagot?"
"Naisip ko na kumain muna since narinig ko yung tummy mo sinasabing gutom na sya." He laugh.
"You know me well Carl."
He smirk and went on the counter para umorder. And ako naman, i fetch my phone in my bag. Nakikipagchat ako sa facebook when someone called me.
"Hera?"
"Oh, Hi Pix! Ikaw lang magisa?"
"No, I'm with Eros. Nasa counter sya. Umoorder."
I just smiled and continue chatting with my friends.
"Hera?" Hindi pa ba umaalis to? -_-
"Yes?" I said irritatedly.
"Pwede kami makitable ni Eros? Puno na kasi lahat eh. Please?"
"What can I do? Nakaupo kana dyan!"
"Yeyy great! Parang double date!" she said.
Double date nya muka nya! Ughhhh!! Pati tuloy si Pix nasusungitan ko na because of that bastard. I just want to get rid of Him. Grabe naman ata. After nang hindi pagpaparamdam, magpapakita sya? Kasama nya pa yung girlfriend nya?!!
Dumating na yung food namin ni Carl, magkasunod lang pala sila ni Eros sa pila sa counter. Awww fate! Bull shit!! Ganito ang seating set up.
pixie -- eros
-- table --
carl -- me
Nakakabingi yung katahimikan!! Di ba syempre dapat kahit minimal talk lang? Saming apat wala eh -_- I need to do something!!
Bigla akong napatingin kay Carl. I know what to do.
I texted Carl.
To: Baby Carl <3 (Sya po aglagay ng pangalan nya, hindi ako.)
Bestyy, Subuan moko. Let's see kung anung irereact ni Eros. Please?
I saw him read the message I sent and look at me like ano-nanamang-trip-mo look. I just smile sweetly at him. And he end up losing. Ayaw ka pa ha!!! Bleeeh!
"Baby, oh! Favorite mo to diba?" Carl said habang sinusubuan ako.
After kong malunok yung pagkadami dami nyang sinubo sakin, sya naman yung sinubuan ko ng Ice cream.
"By, eto oh! Ayaw mo neto diba? You should try this." Ayaw nya kase ng buko flavor eh. Good thing at kinain naman nya.
Bigla namang napaubo si Eros.
"What happened swee
etie?" Pix handed him a glass of water.
"Nothing. I was just. Nothing." He said.
Maybe my plan worked? Haa!! Yun lang pala Eros.
Pagkatapos namin kumain, we bid our goodbyes to them. Walang awkwardness. REALLY!!!
Carl and I were about to get inside the car when Eros asked,
"Hindi ba kayo aattend ng service?"
"No. Andun ka kase!" I said. His expression! Parang nalugi! Pfftt! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
"Okay. Ingat kayo!"
"Thanks!"
As we got home, napansin kong magaang bag ko. Usually hindi naman kase andun diary ko. Pag halungkat ko, WALA! Where the fuck is that freaking diary!!! NAKAKAINIS NAMAN!!!
I called Carl immediately.
*calling Baby Carl*
Nakailang ring na, wala padin. Ilang times ko syang tinawagan pero wala. Damn it! Ang daming laman nung diary na yon!! Chineck ko sa closet ko, sa side table, and any possible place in the house na pwede kong itago yun, pero WALA TALAGA!!
Kinabukasan maaga akong pumunta kila Carl, it was just a few blocks away from ours. Sinalubong ako ni Nanay Luz, sya yung nagalaga samin ni Carl nung bata pa kami. She said na nasa kwarto si Carl, so i went straight to his room.
*knock. knock* "Carl open the door!"
*knock. knock* "CARL!!!!!!"
After a few more knocks, he opens the door, finally!
"Oh what brings you here baby? Ang aga pa ha? Miss mo agad ako?"
"Fyou! I just want to borrow your car keys, may titignan lang ako sa car mo."
"Di mo ba pwede ipagpahapon yan at nambulabog ka ng ganitong oras? Shit Hera! Its just 7am!" He is pissed. Normally kase 11am yan gumigising.
"I'm sorry. Its really important. Please Carlly?"
He get his car keys at binato sakin. Good thing nasalo ko.
"PWEDE NAMANG IABOT DIBA?" then bumaba nako.
Pag pasok ko ng car nya, WALA. Bullshit. I feel so hopeless. Wala na yung mga binigay sakin ni Eros, yung mga. Uhh. Siguro its God will na din na mawala yun. Para makalimutan ko sya. Hayyyy! Kung sino man may hawak non. Sana, wag nya nakong hanapin. And sana, ingatan nya yun.

"Kay Hera yan! Akin na, i'll give it to her tomorrow." She said.
"Wag na ako na. Pupunta din naman ako kila Carl bukas."
"Okay sweetie. Don't read it ha. Its private!"
Hinatid ko sya pauwi and i went to a convenient store. I bought a keg of corona and went straight to my condo. Habang nagpprepare ako ng iinumin ko, naalala ko yung diary ni Hera. Bumaba ako sa parking to get it in my car.
Pagkakuha ko, something feel from it. Sobrang familiar nung flower. Dried na to, ofcousre its been a year na din.
I went up and start reading it. Sana....
