SERATONIN

Chapter 3: Small talks

Pag akyat namin we quickly found a seat naman kase wala gaanong tao, kaso sabe ng worker don we couldn't stay long unless we bought some food with our drinks. Nagdecide nalang kami mag ambagan for the food.

"Bea!"

"sino tumatawag saken Lim?"

"si Malcolm"

(huh? I guess he remembers me nga) natuwa lang ako hehe

"bakit?"

"ano gusto mong orderin?"

(bakit ako tinatanong ni Malcolm? pede naman sila na mag decide)

"anything's fine naman"

"sure ka ah?"

"mhmm"

bumalik naman sila after umorder tas nag kwentuhan na kami.

I was zoning out nakatingin sa bintana kase di ko naman kilala yung pinaguusapan nila, pero at times napapatingin nalang den ako kai Malcolm. He really has something in him that pulls me closer, and I don't know why. something caught my attention sa pinaguusapan ni Clover and Malcolm, which was about his ex.

(I guess single na si Malcolm, why am I so happy about it tho? as if naman I have a chance, he's way out of my league)

Habang nagrarant si Malcolm kay Clover, nadistract si tong si Clover sa usapan nila Marie at Lim. Before ma op  si Malcolm, I decided na ako nalang makikinig sa rant nya.

"ano ba nangyare?"

"my ex, after ko mag vacation sa japan with my fam pinagpalit ako sa babae."

"oh she's bi?"

"yup"

"well that sucks, sinayang ka nya" I just whispered the sinayang part.

"ano yun?"

"ah wala, continue"

tinuloy nalang namin kwentuhan namin ni Malcolm, I'm glad na he can open up to me that fast and super comfy nya magsabe saken. I was very happy habang nagkwekwento sya actually, I like seeing him smile cause he looks like a little kid.

After our kwentuhan and maubos yung food we all agreed na gumala gala muna para makapagbonding. We decided na gumala sa sementeryo cuz that's where Marie lives.

Habang gumagala nakaisip ng kalokohan tong si Clover ng di namin alam, sa dinadaanan kase namin madilim at madaming gumagalang aso. So Clover have the greatest idea sa pagtripan yung aso, I was afraid of stray dogs cause of my trauma and ganon den si Marie. Clover stomped his feet making the dogs bark, natakot kami ni Marie but I didn't know that time na si Malcolm katabi ko and not Lim.

Marie held onto Lim pala, and I got flustered kase si Malcolm pala nakapitan ko.

(takte, takot naman talaga ako sa stray dogs kaya napakapit ako kay Malcolm. Pero baka mahalata nya na gusto ko sya, I mean totoo naman pero di nya na dapat malaman)

"gagi, sorry Malcolm kala ko si Lim."

"de gagi, okay lang hahaha"

I feel so embarrassed, ughh!!!

We decided to go back na kila Marie kase medjo late naden and for sure need na namin lahat umuwi.

"btw, lapit na birthday ko. punta kayo ha at sama nyo naden yung iba." sabe ni Marie bago kami umuwi

"sige Marie, pupunta kame."

after that we all walked together na pauwi, while walking medjo nahihiya paden talaga ako kay Malcolm kaya di ako gaano nagsasalita. Para mabreak ung awkward tension,nag jojoke nalang sila habang naglalakad, tas hinatid naden nila ako sa bahay.

(I wish makapunta si Malcolm sa birthday ni Marie, I really want to bond with him again. Idk why hirap ako makatulog after ng interactions namin, was I falling fast for Malcolm?)
