A man had a wide smile on his lips as he dragged the suitcase out of the airport and by the time he came out, a cool breeze touched his skin.

He closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them, “After so many years, I'm finally back! ..” he faintly mumbled to himself.

twirling around continuously as he spread his hands out wide, feeling the cold breeze.

wherein passerby shot the man with odd looks, but he was having too much fun to care.

After a few minutes, the man stopped, dragging his luggage and decided to go ahead confidently.

Along the man's slow pace, a sudden realization hit him. His confidence soon turned to confusion …. As he looked around.

Tumingin tingin siya sa paligid and at the same time he starts, scratching the back of his neck. To think he got lost, mumbling as he laughs awkwardly.

The man continued wandering whilst still looking around in every possible way to his aunt's house.

Hindi siya tumitingin sa dina-daanan when he collided into someone. Due to the overwhelming force, he fell on the hard floor, making him groan.

"Are you alright?" I heard a man's voice ask, full of concern. ... With outstretched hand. He look up nang mapapikit ng direktang tumama sa kanyang mga mata ang nakakasilaw na sinag ng araw.

He replied, With a narrowed eyes “Oh yeah, I'm fine” before he  grasped his outstretched hand and helped me to my feet.

Pagtayo ay pinagpagan niya ang damit with eyes searching for his suitcase that was now on the floor nang mabitawan niya kanina, But before he could get it, a hand appeared to take it first.

“Here,” As he got closer, I got the chance to see his face clearly. Stell's eyes wandered from the man's captivating black eyes that shone in the light of the day, thick eyebrows, his refined jaw, a sharp nose, to his lips, and to his unshaven beard.

“Wow .. you're my type” Stell mumbling to himself absentmindedly. A warm smile stretched across his dimpled cheeks, making him even more handsome.

The man looked down, along with his ear tips turned red, “umm, thank you ..” he responded.

“Huh? ...” I stared at him blankly whilst he chuckled. Their eyes met and Stell quickly averted his elsewhere. A sudden realization hit him, with a face flushed in embarrassment, Stell's cover his face.

“m-mauna na a-ako, what-what i mean is-s I should go”, nauutal na pahayag niya within hasty steps, he walked away.

The man stood there staring at man's back na naglalakad palayo, dragging his luggage.

He tried to hide his smile, instead a laugh emitted out from his mouth, thus a memories flashed in mind, He muttered “Ahh~ Isn't he cute.”

As Stell trudged into nowhere, he suddenly halted. Turning around and seeing the man still there, Hesitation rans across his face to which he shook his head. looked around sighing, with no other choice, but to pace back towards the man.

An amused smile form on the man's lips by the scene unfolding before his eyes, to the man who was now marching towards him with great strides.

“Can you help me, please ..?”  He inquire in a shy gesture, fiddling with his fingers. “How can I help you?”

He looks up."Really?" He asks through glossy eyes as I smile softly and nod.

The man steal glances at him as he goes through his phone. he was busy scrolling with a frown on his face, “Kanina ko pa kasi hinahanap 'to , at mukhang nawawala ako ..”

Napaangat siya ng tingin, Nang mapagtanto na baka hindi niya naiintindan ang sinasabi ko.

The man gaze at him, noticing his expression. He reflexively bit back his smile, because the man's expression was too adorable.

He then stated “I can understand you” His expression filled with disbelief, “That's great then,”  masayang usal niya.

“Alam mo ba kung saan 'yan?” Sabay turo sa address na nakasulat, and then he added. “Kahit ituro mo lang ---” but was cut off before he could even finish his sentence.

“Wait here” Bilin niya rito, bago pumunta sa kung saan. The man left him in awe.

Tulad nga ng bilin niya, Stell patiently awaited for the man. And after a while, he heard a car honk that made him flinch. His eyes met those breathtaking eyes that stared at him with amusement.

“Get in, Ihahatid na kita.” As he opened the car door, Stell hesitated. “Wag na, ituro mo nalang sakin--”

"Please?" he insisted, head gesture for me to get into his car, with his begging face,

He sighed,Stell yielded and make his way inside the car. Once I get in, he start the engine and drive.

A silence filled the car throughout the entire ride. Wherein, Stell sneak a few glances as he watched his driver. “I can feel your stare.” He chuckled and I quickly looked away embarrassed.

The man next to me sighed and finally spoke to break the silence, “Do you mind if I ask you a question?” Stells nod and he complied. “sino nga pala ang pupuntahan mo dito?” Stell begins to scratch the back of his neck.

“I'm here to visit my aunt and her family, at the same time I'm on vacation.”

“Ikaw ba?” he asked back. “Ako, I'm here for work related. ”

Afterwards, silence filled the car again. But it's a comfortable silence for the both of them, just feeling each other's presence with no awkwardness.

The car stopped, Stell had to get out, since it didn't fit in the space of the alley. Akmang bababa narin ang lalaki nang hawakan ko siya sa braso para pigilan.

“ Ihahatid na kita--” Hindi niya natuloy ang sasabihin nang unahan niya ito, “wag na,” aniya.“ Sigurado ka?”  tumango si Stell bilang sagot.
The man gave in, as Stell took a slow step forward.

But stopped and turned back to the man with eyes full of curiosity, Stell with hurried steps headed to the man. Upon reaching there,  “Can I see your phone for a sec?” He asks. The man obliged and pass his phone, with eyes never left the man.

He was typing something when a phone rang, he reached into his pack and grabbed his phone  before handing it back to him. “That's my number in case you're wondering.” he said with a toothy grin. The man never failed to stun him.

“Im Stell”, introducing himself with an outstretched hand and The latter, did the same. “Pablo” whilst he accepted his hand.

Stell was the first to pulled away, continuing on his way. He stopped to look at the man waving his phone, indicating to call him in which made him laugh. Pablo mouthed , “N-o-t-e-d” and salute, in which Stell giggle.

Before Stell could take another step he called him, “Stell!” the man quickly turns, “Enjoy your stay ..” pahabol pa ni Pablo. “I will ...” Stell nod with a soft smile on his lips.

Pablo smiled as if dreaming. This guy is a total charmer. He wondered how a stranger become the reason for his smiles, With eyes glued at the man's back.

When Stell was out of his sight, Pablo turned on the engine and left the place with a smile on his face.
