Nang makapasok ako sa kwarto ay patalon akong umupo sa kama.
I was looking stupid while staring at my phone. What? That's it? He just accepted my friend request?
Wala na bang kasunod after that?
Basta GC Periodt:
Hail: He already accepted my friend request...
Ari: Ayus! Thanks to me?
Sav: Nope, thanks to me. I told Raiden na mag-usap na sila about sa band project kaya siguro in-accept na yung friend request niya!
Lexi: So you mean, it's all for the 'project'?
Ari: Ouch. Sakit. Pero at least dibaaa?
Sav: HAHAHHAHAHAHA
Yeah, right for the project. What was I expecting.
Hindi ko alam pero parang kusang gumalaw ang aking mga kamay at pumunta sa kanyang profile.
His profile picture was a stolen shot. He was wearing his uniform while holding a camera. Tila ba may kinukuhanan ng litrato.
Boring naman ng timeline niya. Wala man lang post or shared post. But, that made him more interesting.
Dumako ang mata ko sa message at wala sa sariling pinindot iyon.
There's a green circle beside his picture indicating that he's online!
Should I chat him...para sa project. Pero baka naman magmukha na nagf-first move ako?
No, this is about the project. Nothing more; I'm just doing my job as an officer. Yes, tama.
Hail Callista Renegado: Hi, when are you free para mapag-usapan natin yung regarding sa band?
My eyes squinted when I saw three dots on our conversation.
He's typing!
Raiden Sage Tuazon: I'm on my way home.
Nanlaki ang aking mata sa kanyang isinagot. Ganito ba yung feeling na ma-update?
What am I even thinking! Ang layo naman kasi ng sagot niya sa tanong ko.
Raiden Sage Tuazon: I'll just chat you kapag naka-uwi na ako. Then, we'll talk about it.
Hail Callista Renegado: Sure
Nahagip ng aking mata ang repleksyon ko sa salamin only to find myself smiling.
I shrugged and put on a poker face. Anong kangiti-ngiti dun Hail?!
An hour had passed, I already took a shower and did my night routine pero hindi pa rin siya nagme-message.
Baka naman nakatulog na to. Uminom pa ako ng kape para hindi ako makatulog. It was a very long day for me.
What are you willing to do nga naman...for the success of our event.
My phone vibrated and a notification appeared on it.
Raiden Sage Tuazon: I'll call.
Call?! Bakit call???
Natatarantang umayos ako nang pagkakaupo sa couch at inayos ang aking buhok kahit hindi niya naman ito makikita.
Raiden Sage Tuazon is calling...
I breathe heavily and accepted the call.
"H-hello?" Alangan kong sabi.
"Sorry for calling. I think, mas mabilis nating mapaguusapan dito rather than chat. Is it okay with you?"
