Jema's POV

(still on flashback)

I was trying to think where did I saw her... somehow.. this maybe not the first time that I saw her. I took off the cover of my phone and looked at the 2x2 picture of her na kinuha ko sa wallet nya. Buti hindi nya napansin na nawawala ang picture nya.

I was holding my chest while I was looking at her picture. I like you.. I said and hinalikan ang picture nya. Oh em G! I laughed coz I don't know what happened to me.

(Present)

Her face still never change and she was still the same person I saw almost 2 years ago. if nakipag meet up sya.. ibig sabihin she's single??.

"almost 2 years ago right?" she said and she still remember kasi na calculate nya kelan kami huling nagkita.

"Yes.. almost 2 years ago" I said and ... after that day I was looking for her in any social media.

We silently eating and nilapit niya ang fruits na order niya.

"Hindi .. okay lang baka kakainin mo yan" I said.

"Nope.. I ordered it for you. Alam ko mahilig ka dyan" she said.

Flashback

Excited ako gumising at went to yughort house. Hindi naman kami nag-uusap about na magkita somewhere.. It was just that I was always hoping to see her at nagbabaka sakali.

"Hey!! good morning!"I said when I saw her... and tama nga ako.. andun sya.

"Hey..! good morning!! She said and nakita ko na hindi pa sya nag start kumaen. I was about to grab the menu when she spoke.

"I ordered na for you" She said.." kasi baka gutom kana" she added and she was so thoughtful.. sino ba naman hindi sya gugustuhin dbah... so meaning.. nagbabaka sakali din sya na pumunta ako dito?? hmm..interesting..

She ordered na for me and with the fruits I ordered usually pag nakaen kami breakfast and she was observant.

"I know you like fruits based sa order mo lageh so sinama ko na" she said and she continued eating.

"Bomod-ok falls ako today.. ikaw ba?" I asked her hoping na sya din same itinerary.

"Yeah.. same.." she said and natuwa naman ako.

"May najoinan kana?" I asked and hoping na wala pa.

"Nope.. wala pa.. I'll be asking later. " she replied and natuwa naman ako sa sagot nya.

"Sige sabay nalang tayo" sabi ko and I was so excited na naman sa ganap today.

After we ate.. so nagpabooked na kami sa itinerary na papuntang falls. medyo mahaba ang lakaran at mainit pero di ko alintana at nag-uusap naman kami. Pagdating sa falls.. ang ganda.. and sobrang lameg ng tubig.. mapapasigaw ka sa lameg pero ang linis.

She was laughing when I scream nung tumalon ako dahil sa sobrang lameg pero ang sarap ng tubig.

"Dali na... lubog kana" Sabi ko sa kanya kasi naka tingin lang sya saken

"Ayaw ko ang lameg" sabi niya

"ang sarap ng tubig at andito kana e.." tinawag ko sya asking her to help me maka ahon.

WHen she grabbed my arm hinila ko sya at nahulog sya sa tubig and I was laughing at her and sya naman ang napasigaw sa lameg.

"what the.." she said and medyo nainis saken then maya maya pa she laughed.

"Diba ang sarap ng tubig" I said at lumapit ako sa kanya at sumampa ako sa likod nya. I dont know why but I am just so comfortable pagdating sa kanya. I felt she's harmless and would never take advantage of me. She allowed me to be just clingy with her.

After the falls, back to hiking kami sa palayan at basang basa pa kami kasi wala kaming dalang pamalit.

"Do you want to change clothes?" she asked

"Mas malapit na ang accomodation ko here" sabi niya and she gave me her jacket to use kasi nilalameg na ako

"Wala akong pamalit" I said.

" I have extra clothes you can use for the meantime.. balik mo nlang" sabi nya at sumama naman ako.

Pagdating sa accomodation nya.

"Solo ka dito??" I asked her kasi wala akong nakitang ibang kasama nya sa room.

"Yes.. " she replied and inabot saken ang damit nya. " I have disposable underwear.. you can wear it din pero wag mo na ibalik" she chuckled.

"Syempre naman" I changed my clothes then paglabas ko.. my coffeee na nakaready.

"Wow!!" I said and partner material sabi ko sa isip ko.

"Baka lang gusto mo ng coffee.. I'll change lang din" she said at pumasok na sa room. may veranda ang accomodation nya at may sariling lutuan din and sya lang mag-isa sa taas.

Paglabas niya she opened the ref and was browsing her eyes sa loob noon.

"Do you want to eat here? I can cook" she offered and wow nagluluto din sya.

"I have some chicken here na pwede e adobo nalang if you want" She added

"Wow.. nagluluto ka?? I can cook the rice nalang to help" I said

"Nope.. chill ka lang dyan.." then she grabbed her Ipad. "Here.. use this and watch netflix while I'll prepare the food" she said
