When it rains, it pours.
Kaya eto ramdam na ramdam ko ang buhos ng kamalasan ngayong araw.
" Don't be a princess Olivia, buckle up." boses ng bulate sa tabi ko. Kung nagdala sana ako ng powerbank eh di sana nakapag book ako ng grab pauwi. Sana hindi ako naiinis ngayon. Sana kahit matagal akong makahanap ng sasakyan ay maeenjoy kong manood ng patak ng ulan. Sana nakapag day dream pa ako tungkol kay BaekHyun my love, o kaya kay D.O my snuggly penguin, o di kaya kay Xiumin my baoxi o di naman kaya kay Sehun my lovely baby boo. Hayyy sanaaa...
Mas gugustuhin ko nang magastusan kesa magka utang na loob sa isang bulate.
" Are you happy now ha, Rafang bulate? " asar na sagot ko sa kanya after i locked my seatbelts. Dahil it's more fun in the Philippines, asahan mo na pag umulan siguradong traffic.
" Are you seriously calling me bulate, Olivia? I don't get you. Alam kong malabo mata mo, kaya hindi mo makita ng maayos tong gandang lalaki ko. But heck, di mo ba nababalitaan na madaming umiiyak mapansin ko lang? " puno ng conviction netong sabi. Humahawak pa sa baba ang siraulo at nag pogi pose pa.
I furiously look at him, grabbed his face with my hands and turn his face to me. I moved my face closer to him para makita ng malapitan ang sinasabi netong kagandahang lalaki.
" Asan dito ang magandang lalaki ha, Rafael? Parang wala ata akong makita? "
His eyes, ngayon ko lang nakita na brown pala ang kulay neto. Light brown na parang laging iiyak, malamlam. Almond shaped eyes, slightly oval with upturned corner. Bagay sa mata neto ang may kahabaan netong lashes, his brows really matches the shape of his eyes.
Shet, ang ganda ng mga mata nya.
"Beep, beep, beep, beep"
Kung hindi pa bumusina ang mga sasakyan sa likod namin, hindi ko pa ata sya bibitawan. It felt that I am in some kind of a trance.
When I looked at him, ang pula naman ata ng tenga neto? Napahigpit siguro ang hawak ko sa mukha ng bulate.
" Can we just listen to music? " tanong ko dito?
" Mahal na prinsesa, ikaw na bahalang pumili ng music. Nakakahiya naman kasi siguro sakin na nagdadrive ano. My spotify's account is connected there." Pagsusungit neto.
I navigated his music and found a playlist. Eto na lang siguro..
I always thought I'd be a rambling man
Living in the moment, never making plans
Finding love was just a dream I was having
Written in the movies, never thought it would happen
I try to fill my loneliness with whiskey
And empty nights with different girls that never missed me
Funny how when you least expect it
Everything can change
Baby, it's you I've been looking for
I knew right from the second you came walking through that door
It feels so right when you're in my arms
Darling, it's you I've been looking for
You know I love it when your hair's a mess
The way you shine when you wear that dress
Girl, I don't think that you understand
You make me a better man
Baby, it's you I've been looking for
I knew right from the second you came walking through that door
It feels so right when you're in my arms
Darling, it's you I've been looking for
Just like blue on the sea
Our love won't fade, it's evergreen
Girl, the best part of me
Is you
Baby, it's you I've been looking for
I knew right from the second you came walking through that door
It feels so right when you're in my arms
This song is quiet nice. " What's the title of this song? " I asked.
" It's you. Lewis Brice" he said while still focusing on the road.
We've been on the road for more than an hour. Yung supposed 30 minutes ride going home, magiging eternity na ata. Baka may mga pamangkin na akonpag uwi. Pipiliin mo pa rin ba ang Pilipinas? Charot!
One, two, three hours. Forever and ever na ata ang life motto ng traffic. Yung xialongbao na kinain ko kaninang tanghale eh mukang papunta na sa large intestines ko. Nagugutom na ako, pero yung kasama ko walang imik. Pano ko ba sasabihin na gutom na ako.
" Urkkkkk..."
Oh my gosh!!! Tampalasan kang sikmura ka.
I faked a cough, praying na hindi narinig ng bulate ang pagra rally ng sikmura ko.
" Is hamburger okay with you Olivia?" he glanced at me.
" What? No, I'm fine. " mag iinarte na muna ako. Malapit na naman siguro kaming makauwi. Maybe I'll try to sleep na lang. When I'm about to close my eyes, he shifted the car on the sideways. Papunta sa isang fast food chain ng mga hamburger.
" Two whopper, one large fries and two large orange juice please." order neto sa drive thru. As we moved to the counter, I offerred to pay. Mahirap na, baka sumakit pa tyan ko. Pero tiningnan lang nya ang pera sa kamay ko at hindi kinuha.
" That's your choice ah, baka sabihin mo di ako nag offer na magbayad. " I immediately bite my burger as he hand it over. Hayyy..feeling ko eto na ang pinaka masarap na pagkain na natikman ko buong buhay ko. And voila, hindi pa inabot ng 5 minutes, balat na lang natira. Happy tummy tayo for today's video. For the first time bulate, good job ka.
" Baka gusto mo akong tulungang kumain, nakakahiya naman sa'kin na ginawa mong driver. Wala ka manlang emphaty." sarcastic nyang sabi.
Okay, sige bilang nilibre nya ako ng dinner. Go, I'll feed this bulate. I opened his burger and offer it to him.
" Oh, here na. Baka magsumbong ka pa kina ninang na nagutom ka dahil sakin. Bite na bilis!!"
" Give me some drinks"
" Put some ketchup in my fries."
" Hey, nakakagat ko na yung wrapper ng burger oh"
Gosh, napaka reklamador! Sasagot na sana ako when he suddenly step on brakes, kaya aksidente ko ding nabitawan ang hamburger nya. It fell between his legs, kumalat yung ketchup sa pants nya. I panicked.
I grabbed some tissue and wiped his pants. Saka ko lang narealize kung anong parte ang pinupunasan ko. What the fuck...
" Olivia, stop it! Gusto mo bang maaksidente tayo? " he's now holding my hand and looking intently at me.
" I'm sorry! It's never my intention to get my hand near your wormy! I swear!!" I can feel my face heating up.
" Wormy? Gusto mo bang syang makita para malaman mong hindi dapat wormy ng endearment mo sa kanya?" nakatingin pa rin sya sakin and still holding my hand.
" What???? You're a perv! Yuck, ewwwww! " pero deep inside, sobra sobra ang kabang nararamdaman ko ngayon. And who says it's an endearment?
" You'll be the death of me Olivia! "
