Second Chance Point

2A: Meeting

2: Meeting

 It’s 11:20 am when I got out of the airport and to my surprise…

“Sam? Samantha Torregoza, is that you?”

Lumingon ako to check who called me.

Sam: Kiefer?!?

He hugged me tight and I hugged him back. Wala pa rin siyang pinagbago. He’s still the same old sweet Kiefer that I know.

Kiefer: Kakadating mo lang?

He pulled himself out from the hug. Kiefer Ravena’s mom, Tita Mozzy, was my mom’s teammate when they were in college. They used to play Volleyball for UST. Actually, matagal nang nanliligaw yang si Kiefer kaya lang I chose Thomas and I don’t think na seryoso siya. Manliligaw siya pero mamaya may girlfriend na but he will always be next to Jeron.

Sam: Yes. Ikaw, where were you from? You with someone?

Kiefer: No no. I travelled by myself just a 3 day trip to Macau. May sundo ka ba? I was with JC and Jeron last week pero they never mentioned that you’re coming back.

Sam: No one knows, Kief. Is Tita Mozzy coming over to pick you up?

Kief: No, I’m planning to take a cab. It’s almost lunch time, wanna grab some lunch?

Sam: Tara pero pwedeng sa may Taft na tayo mag-lunch? Ang dami kong luggage eh and I want to surprise JC.

He agreed and he helped me with my stuff. Actually, siya na nagdala ng lahat. How come he’s from Macau but all he has is a gym bag. I will never understand boys.

As soon as we got a cab, I called my mom via Facetime to tell her that I’m home and I’m with Kiefer.

I asked him kung pwedeng tawagan niya sina JC, Jeron and the girls and ask them to meet him sa isang resto sa may Taft pero dinala muna namin yung gamit namin sa unit namin ni JC and hid those sa kwarto ko. Just in case.

When we reached the resto, ang daming lumapit sa amin ni Kiefer para mag-papicture. Bihira naman kasi may pumuntang Blue Eagle dito sa Taft and I think I’m starting to make my name in modelling. Umupo kami sa medyo mahabang table kasi dadating nga daw yung barkada. Kiefer is an honorary member though he’s from Ateneo. Kiefer sat beside me as we order food for everyone. Lunch is on me since I really made money out of that modelling job.$$

Kiefer: Sam, can I ask you something?

Sam: Go ahead.

Kiefer: This is about Thomas, will that be fine?

Sam: Kief, hindi ako babalik dito kung hindi pa ako nakaka-move on. So go ahead.

I think he’s not convinced but I’m sure about myself. I won’t be here if I haven’t moved on. Besides, I am tired of running away. I have to move on.

Kiefer: Why did you and Thomas broke up? You still love that time, do you?

Sam: Yes, I love him then but I’m done fighting for his attention.

He smiled at me.

Kiefer: You’re a keeper. Too bad he didn’t keep you.

Kief is always this sweet. If I just have a choice, he would be the guy that I would want to fall for.

Kief and I continued chatting until I heard a very familiar voice.

“Kiefer!”

Kiefer stood up to meet the owner of the voice
