It's 8 o'clock in the evening, and while I was in my room, laying in my bed, and was scrolling through my phone reading some Sci-Tech articles na napapanahon ngayon, when I heard non-stop knocks outside my room door all of the sudden.

"And here we go." I sighed fraustration, because I already knew who's that person knocking in front my room door...It's AKA Mr. Chimpanzee ft.  Ghoster.

"Klei?, May I come in?."A deep manly hoarse voice spoke outside my room.

"Yeah, go ahead." I nonchalantly replied.

When the door of my room opened, I saw a very fine looking man,tall, and has a physique that is to kneel for...at parang kakauwi pa lang din nito kung saan man itong lupalop nagpunta o napadpad,dahil nakaporma at ayos pa rin ang itsura at kasuutan nito hanggang ngayon.

When I gazed at the man who just came in my room,our eyes instantly met, but i just rolled my eyes at him,at kaagad naman akong umiwas ng tingin...si ghoster pala ito eh...si di man lang marunong magpasabi o magpaalam kung saan pupunta,at na aalis pala ng isang linggo.

"Hey Klei, what's wrong?, nagtatampo ka pa rin ba?." palambing at masuyong tanong ng lalaki, nang ito'y makaupo sa aking tabi,in the corner of my bed, beside me...but I just ignored him at ipinagpatuloy ang aking pagbabasa sa aking phone.

Manhid ba'to...yanigin ko ulo niya diyan eh,siya nga... He didn't even bother telling me na he'll be gone muna.

Minutes passed and I was still scrolling through my phone,still ignoring the man...and seconds after, I already heard the man sitting beside me sigh, maybe in frustration.

Nauubusan na siguro ng pasensiya kasi di siya pinapansin,bahala siya diyan, and then I laughed mentally.

"Klei...i have a gift for you."he casually said out of the blue,and sad to say ebribadi, doon niya na nakuha ang aking atensyon,so I instantly sat beside him and asked with pure joy and excitement visible in my voice, because...I really love receiving gifts, and this man beside me knew me so well.

"What is it?"
"Here." he showed and handed me his gift...napako ako sa aking kinauupuan na tila ba hindi makapagsalita,the gift...it was a yellow umbrella,

"What's this?" I curiously asked out of nowhere,I know that it's an umbrella,but why umbrella though...I thought it was a plushie or something cute or pluffy.

"It's an umbrella you dummy" he replied while chuckling, kala mo naman cute ehh...and then I simply stole a quick glance at him

...cute nga.

I composed my self altogether and asked.

"I-I mean, w-why umbrella though?." Nabubulol ko pa ngang tanong, and I shyly faced the cannot be denied handsome face of the man sitting beside me.

"I messaged and tried to call you, remember?,but you kept on ignoring me,so I contacted and called Manang Della instead...sakanya ko rin nalaman na naulanan ka, kaya ka nilagnat...so I thought you might need an umbrella...this umbrella."weyttt!!! I'm still processing what's guwing ons.

So he knew that I caught a cold while he was away for a week...and he bought me an umbrella...how sweet,and also I can feel my whole system going crazy because of his little gesture, what the.

"I already have an umbrella though, I just forgot to bring them with me that day I went out,but thank you very much for your effort Deiv... "I said calmly,while smiling genuinely at the man beside me, even though I know that my whole system is losing it already.

Hindi man obvious, but I'm really thankful for this gift I just received from Deiv
,he's concern for me, for real...and I'm really greatful for having him...like a kuya that I never had, who's always there and concern for me.
