Melody

Chapter Four

"Can I seat here?"

Tinignan ko siya and ang paligid to see if there's no more vacant seat sa ibang table.

And since I don't have any choice, I nod as a response to her.

She seats na, di niya naman ako ginugulo. Nag pophone lang siya. I don't think naman na she's taking picture or posting anything about me sa Social Media.

"Melody." Bigla niyang sabi, tinignan ko siya.

"I'm Melody, and you are?"

Oh? She doesn't know me. Good.

"Cal."

"Ang tipid mong sumagot." Binitawan niya yung phone niya and nagfocus siya sakin.

I took a sip sa coffee ko and I look at her. She's pretty though. Feeling ko I saw her somewhere na kaso hindi ko tanda.

"Why are you here?" Tanong niya.

"Visiting a friend, You?"

"Same, pero hindi ko siya friend. Yung friend ko, friend niya."

"So why did you came with your friend, tapos nandito ka?"

"I'm bored. Sumama lang ako." Then she sips sa coffee niya.

Biglang nag vibrate phone ko kaya I said excuse me to her kasi I interrupt our talk.

"Cal, where are you?"

"Are you allowed to use your phone?"

"Ah? Yes?"

"Oh you do? And you didn't even bother to send me a message?" Yes, it added a fuel to what I am feeling right now.

"I'm sorry, okay?! Ayoko makaistorbo, we both are involve sa accident and I know you need to rest also."

"I'm at condo lang Aira. It means I am okay, I've been wanting to know your situation tapos ganito? Kahapon ka pa gising, di ko alam. Tapos pwede ka na pala gumamit ng phone di mo rin sinabi."

With that, binitawan ko na yung phone ko at napabugtong hininga nalang, ibig sabihin that guy was there kasi nasabihan na siya ni Aira. Samantalang ako, ni hindi niya man lang naisipan sabihan?

What the hell?

"Hey. I have to go na, here is my number. Hope we can be friends." She smiles and leave.

I get the piece of paper and nakita ko yung number niya sinave ko nalang and then napansin ko may bakat pa ng sulat sa likod.

I flip it over and saw her drawing. It's cute :)

'Smile ka na :)'

Tumayo na ako at magdidilim narin. Baka kailangan na umuwi nung apat.

Pagkabalik ko sa room, hindi ako kumibo. Naupo lang ako sa sofa at binuksan ang TV.

"Ano oras kayo uuwi?"

"Actually inaantay ka lang namin." Sagot ni Gen.

"You all good to go?" Nag nod silang apat.

Alam ko may dalang mga sasakyan naman ito, sabay na si Gen kay Maze, then Jan at Shane. Wala ako need ihatid.

"Tara na." Tumayo sila at kinuha na mga gamit nila.

"Hey Ai, tell us pag may need ka ha? Para makabalik kami, tapos deal na ah? Kami susundo sayo bukas." Sabi ni Maze.

So makakalabas na siya bukas.

Hindi na ako nagsalita at alam kong nakatingin siya sa kin nagiintay na magpaalam.

Babalik rin naman ako, ihahatid ko lang sa baba tong mga makukulit. At bibili rin ako ng makakain namin for dinner.

"Mag ingat sa pagdadriver Maze at Jan, wag magmamabilis. Gen at Shane magsumbong sa akin pag bumilis yang dalawa ah."

"Ay ay captain!" Sabay sabay nilang sabi.

Naglakad na ako papuntang Mcdo to buy her favorite foods.

1 pc. Chicken burger with fries and apple pie tapos coke float, ganon narin binili ko tapos nagdagdag pa ako mcflurry.

"Sorry na Adi."
