JAMES
I'm in a hurry. I have to finish every paper work I need to do because it's Friday again! Don't want anything to do on the weekend!
********** phone ringing **************
Who could this be?
It was Jeff. Bakit na naman kaya?
Ako: Hello?
Jeff: Hey, James ...
Ako: Yeh ... Why?
Jeff: Let's go out, man. It's been ages since we went out for a drink ...
Ako: But ...
Jeff: No buts ... man ...
Ako: Okay, I'll just have dinner with Chekay and just meet you after ... same place?
Jeff: Yes, same place ... see you ...
Ano kaya nakain nung Jeff na yun at biglang nag aya?
Anyway, it's been ages since I drank and hung out with him. Hindi ko man aminin ... pero medyo namimiss ko din sya. Oh syet! This is so gay!

I went home to have dinner with Chekay.
"Umm ... Cheese, Jeff invited me to go out .... drinking ..."
She smiled.
Strange. Her smile is so strange.
"Why are you smiling so strangely, Cheese?"
"Ham, you're normal!"
"What?"
"I thought you're not a normal guy ... I thought you don't drink! You're normal after all! Hahahahaha"
"So it's okay if I go out?"
"Of course!"
"You sure, you'll be okay here alone?"
"Ayan ka na naman sa pagiging OA mo. I won't do any trouble tonight! Go live your life! Have fun, James. I know you miss Jeff." She said smiling teasingly.
"I'll just use a cab. I won't drink that much. I'll be home before midnight or maybe a little past midnight. You don't have to wait for me. Just sleep, okay?" Dirediretso kong sabi kay Chekay. At tango lang naman ng tango si Chekay.
She's so cool about it. Kung ibang asawa lang siguro 'to. Baka todo bilin na na wag ako iinom masyado or umuwi ako ng maaga. Pero iba si Chekay. Pero kasi nga di ba ... di naman talaga kami mag asawa!
I wonder if she's still this cool if she's really my wife. I smiled just imagining it.
"Hey, what's that smile about?" Chekay asked.
"Nothing!" And my smile became wider.
She shrugged.
"Sleep early, okay! Gotta go!"
She nodded, "Take care!"
"I will!" I said.

At the bar
"Don't you just miss this? Just like the old times ..." Sabi ni Jeff.
"Yeh ... "
"I heard Angel went back to Hawaii ... did you guys get to talk?"

RomanceShe's running out of time. Her US tourist Visa would expire soon. She can't go back to the Philippines. She has nothing/noone to go back to there. Her only chance of staying is to marry a US citizen. But who would she marry? By some stroke of luck...
