BKS #1 (Dream)

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

After that day, inisip ko na yung mga sinabi ni Grayson na yon. He promised that he would not hurt me. Medyo gumaan ang pakiramdam ko doon. He gave me an assurance na seryoso siya sa akin.

Since that day, we are always talking day and night. Palagi na kaming nag-uupdate sa isa't-isa. Kapag kumakain sa umaga, tanghali or gabi. Kapag may gagawin at hindi muna makakapag-message. Kapag nasa school ako or nasa work siya. It's been two months since I met him in that dating app.

Sa dalawang buwan na yon, ang daming bagay ang nalaman ko sa kanya. He's living in BGC. He said he has a unit there na binili niya noong magka-trabaho siya. Nasa abroad ang parehas na magulang niya kaya while he was studying, sa bahay ng tita niya siya nakatira. His father is a japanese at filipino naman ang nanay niya. His parents are both in Japan kasi mayroon silang business doon.

His favorite color is black, he likes and own two cats. He even sends me a picture of his cat! The orange one named Sushi and the white one named Sashimi. Nag-civil engineer siya because it was his childhood dream. According to him, marami na siyang nagawang project na bahay and even a resort kahit two years palang siyang nagtatrabaho!

He was that good.

Sinabi niya rin sa akin ay kaya siya nag-download ng dating app because he want to be in a relationship again. His first girlfriend cheated on him. That was five years ago according to him at naka-move on na siya.

Sa loob din ng two months na yon ay nahulog ang loob ko sa kanya. Palagi siyang nag-jojoke sa akin! He's flirting with me sometimes and always asking me about my day. He always listening to my rants every time we have a labolatory activity. Palagi kaming magka-video call after ng work niya at after school ko.

Nalaman ko ang iilang info sa kanya within those two months.

And today, we planned our first meet.

I told him we should went to church and go out after. Agad namang pumayag ang lalaki. Ngayon ko rin balak ayain siya sa paskuhan. Medyo kinakabahan ako and excited at the same time. This is the first time I would dress up for a man.

Kiara and Ace reacted haha to Riley's message. I rolled my eyes. Wala nga pala akong matinong advice na makukuha sa kanila at sa kanila pa ako nagtanong!

Riley Castillo:

Kiara Sy:

Ace Dela Cruz:
kapag ikaw ang unang nabuntis @Riley Castillo

Riley Castillo:
GAGO KA ACE MAG-HUNOS DILI KA

Inoff ko na ang phone ko para mag-ayos ng sarili. Magsisimula na naman silang mag-bardagulan nyan sa gc namin! Mapupunta na sa kung saan saan ang topic namin! From bardagulan to chismis to naninira na ng buhay!

I wore a white puff sleeve dress na hanggang below the knee ang haba. I wore a white heels as well. I tied my hair into a half pony tail and put a white ribbon in it. I put a light make up to my face para hindi ako mukhang namumutla. For the accessories, I wore necklace, pearl earrings and a watch.

When I looked at myself in the mirror, I smiled. I looked pretty.

Napahinto ako sa pagtingin sa salamin nang biglang nag-ring ang phone ko.

Grayson calling

I answered the call.

"Hello?" I greeted.

[Good morning, maam! Ako po yung binook nyong GRAB, nandito na po ako sa baba ng building ng unit nyo.] Napairap ako sa bungad niya.

"You're so silly!"

[Joke lang! Are you done preparing? I'll wait for you here.] sambit niya. Naging seryoso ang boses.

"Wait! I'm done already. Pababa na ako." ani ko at inayos ang bag na dadalhin.

Cellphone, wallet, powder and lipstick lang ang laman ng bag ko. I went to the elevator para makababa na. Kinakabahan ako habang naglalakad papunta sa entrance. While walking, I can see the black honda civic. Beside it, there's a guy who's wearing a white button down longsleeve polo. Nakatali ang half sleeve nito sa may bandang siko. He was wearing a black pants also and white rubber shoes.

Napanganga ako.

Kung gwapo siya sa picture, mas gwapo siya sa personal.

His skin is shining because of the sunlight! Grabeng puti naman yan! Nang makarating ako sa harap niya ay napaayos siya ng tayo.

"Uhm, hello!" mukhang nahihiya pa ito sa akin. "Shall we?" he asked.

I just nooded at him. He opened the door of the passenger seat for me. Nang isara niya ito ay agad siyang lumipat para makasalay sa driver's seat. Ang bango ng kotse niya, kasing bango niya!

"Are you comfortable ba?" he suddenly asked. "If you're not, I can take you home."

"Uhm.. medyo nahihiya lang kasi ako kasi you know this is my first time but gusto ko pa rin ituloy natin 'tong date natin." I smiled at him.

"Oh, I see. Chikahin nalang kita para maging komportable ka sakin." he also smiled at me. "Shet! Sabi ko magiging nonchalant ako sa first meet natin e!"

"So? How's med school?"

Ayan ang unang tanong niya.

Just one question pero humaba nang bigla ang usap namin. Med school is fun at the same time hard for me. Masaya siya because it is one of my dreams. Pero it's hard kasi nandito pa rin yung pressure na nararamdaman ko since college.

What if sa nadagdag na apat na taon ay wala akong napala? Hindi ako nakapasa sa physician licensure exam? Masasayang na lang ba non yung na-tuition ko sa med school?

Grayson also tells his experience in college life. Kung paano niya iniyakan yung mga equation na sinasagutan niya at yung board exam. Tawang-tawa ako minsan sa mga kwento niya.

We went to the Manila Cathedral. Halos mapanganga ako sa ganda ng interior ng loob ng simbahan. Riley would also love it here. Kaya siguro marami ring mga tao and even celebrities ang nagpapakasal dito.

"Where are we going now?" I asked him.

"It's almost 12 noon. We should eat! Where do you want to eat?" he asked.

I pouted. "There's a place I want to go but it is around Bulacan so I guess mag-drive thru nalang tayo. We can go there if you want, but ayaw mo.. mag-mall nalang us?"

My eyes widened when he handed me his phone.

"Type the place sa maps. Let's go there." he smiled at me.
