[ Heinz Paulo Stevenson]
Is she even human? Hindi man lang kinilig sa mga banat kong suwabe? Tss. Pagkalabas ko sa mall bumili muna ako ng bulaklak para sa date ko.
"5 bouquets of rose Miss."
"Okay sir. For your girl?"
"Ah---No. It's for my friend. He ask me to help him to surprise his girl." Sabay wink sa kanya
Ano ba Paulo! Pumuporma ka na naman!
"Ahhh." I can see her smile.
"Are you single?" I asked her. Medyo nahihiya pa sya.
"Ahh—Ehh.Yeah. I'm single."
"I'm also single and very free to mingle."
"You're such a funny man. Here—5 bouquets of rose for your friend." She said
"Im serious. Do you belive in love at first sight?"
She's blushing. Girls—ang bilis kiligin.
"Ahhh---"
"I'll see you next time. Here, keep the change." I am running out of time para makipaglandian.
Dumiretso na ako sa resto.
I saw her sitting at the side of the resto.
"Hi Meghan." I said
"Its Melanie." Wasak. Melanie pala.
"Shhh. Im protecting you, Im a secret agent remember? It's for your safety." I gave her the red roses I bought a while ago.
"Geez! This are beautiful."
"But you're way more beautiful than that."
"Let's take our order?" Pag-offer ko sa kanya
Tumingin naman kami sa menu.
Nagvibrate naman bigla ang phone ko.
~Jessica calling..
Kinancel ko naman agad.
"Im sorry. Just—ahmm---wrong number." Pagsisinungaling ko. Nginitian nya naman ako
~Kirstie calling..
Hindi lang dalawa ang tumawag. Hanggang sa naging walo. Si-nilent ko ang phone ko.
Habang naghihintay kami ng order inilibot ko ang mata ko sa resto.
Kung tinadhana ka nga naman.
Yung lalaking—este babae pala na nakasabay ko sa elevator kanina, andito sya. And she's with her boyfriend I guess.
Ang ganda nya naman para makipagdate sa middle class na pagmumukha. Hindi naman mapagkakailang mas gwapo ako kaysa sa kasama nya. Tsk.
"Anyway Paul, are you sure you're going to L.A? Can't stop you huh?" I change my name. Cassanova problems.
Actually I'm not moving to L.A. Uuwi ako sa Pilipinas.
"Yeah. You know, my work—ahmm—they assigned me to go there." I lied
"Awwww. I'll miss you. When you got there call me okay?"
"Of course baby. I will call you day and night." I said then she hold my hand
"I love you. Got to go to the wash room for a bit." Saka sya umalis
I just smiled at her.
