Song: you! - LANY
In love
I snapped out of my senses when Jana suddenly appeared in front of me. I hid my phone under the table to focus my attention on her.
"Tutok na tutok diyan ah? He's got a new phone?" Tanong niya.
Ngumiti ako at saka tumango. Ever since Primo bought a new phone, we've been messaging each other non-stop. I feel like it's already been part of my routine to message him every morning and every night.
Iyon din daw agad ang una niyang ginawa nang makabili siya ng bago. He didn't even bother to install apps first. The first thing he did was to let me know.
"Gosh! I still can't believe that you're talking to someone na. I honestly thought you'll have your first relationship here in Manila. But I was wrong! Now I know you prefer men back in your hometown."
"There are a lot of good looking men in my hometown."
Jana's eyes lit up. She even moved her body closer to the table as if she's really into the conversation now.
"Really? Bakit 'di mo kaya ako iuwi riyan sa inyo nang mapatunayan ko?" She challenged me. Napailing ako at natawa.
Totoo naman din kasi ang sinabi ko. Besides Primo, the next man I can think of who is good looking is Ali. Pero biglang sumasagi sa isip ko si Catalina kaya hindi ko rin sinabi kay Jana ang tungkol sa kanya. I just told her that men back home are hard working and sporty. Her typical types.
She clapped her hands. "Okay! On my next vacation, I'll book a flight to your hometown."
"You don't have to. I'll bring you with me."
She gasped. Hindi makapaniwala niya akong tiningnan. My parents don't mind if I bring her with me the next time I come home. Sila pa nga minsan ang nagsu-suggest pero hindi lang matuloy dahil palaging nasa bakasyon din itong si Jana.
"That's amazing! I'll get to meet your boyfriend, too!"
"He's not my boyfriend yet."
"Hindi pa sa lagay na 'yan? Oh, don't fool me, Theia."
"Totoo naman. We're taking things slow and getting to know each other more."
Her forehead creased. Bumalik siya mula sa pagkakasandal sa upuan.
"But you like each other?" I nod my head. "Then why the hell don't you make it official?"
"Dahil hindi naman kailangan na maging kayo agad dahil lang gusto n'yo ang isa't isa. Of course, there will be a process first."
"Fuck that process, Theia. Ano 'to 1960's? Kailangan pa ba niya mangharana sa harap ng bahay n'yo bago mo siya sagutin? What's holding you back?"
To be honest, there is nothing holding me back. Gusto ko si Primo. Gustong-gusto. But I'm just afraid that I won't be able to show him that because I'm not used to this kind of thing. I'm still trying to familiarize myself with it.
