"Magandang Gabi!" bati ng isang napakapamilyar na boses.

Uh huh. I knew him so very well. I bet yung bumati eh may brown eyes, matangos na ilong, may 5"11 na tangkad, messy- yet attractive hair, long and big hands and arms, muscled torso and biceps..

I bet yung bumati ay si Karl Gabriel Yap, the perfect man i've been wishing for since then. Okay, so maybe hindi siya perfect, it's just that, everything that I was looking for a man could be found on him. Isn't that what you call perfect?

I saw him wearing a grey polo and his black slacks and his black shoes. He's wearing a normal working attire yet it look so hot on him. He did the 'fist thing' with Melvin. Men and their weird and cheesy 'how are yous'. I smiled seeing them do that. Melvin also has the looks. He's a college friend of Karl, siya raw ang nagpasok dito kay Karl. Si Karl, na simula noon lagi na lang may backer, napailing ako habang natatawa.

"What's up man? You look so happy!" si Melvin.

I saw him grin. "Hell yeah!" Nagtatalon siya while clapping his hands.

Natawa ako sa itsura niya, mukhang malaking baklang-napakasagwa tignan. Feel na feel ko ang pagtitig sa lalaking iyon, so what? Hindi niya naman ako nakikita, so why not just use this very rare chance?

Ako rin masaya, sobra. Parehas kaming masaya ngayon. Naalala ko tuloy yung nangyari sa amin kagabi ni Karl. Sana maulit pa iyon. Masaya rin kaya siya dahil sa nangyari kagabi? Napabuntong hininga ako ng malalim with wide smile hoping. "Hayy.."

He then spoke again. "Cause of Mitch." kumindat pang pabiro kay Melvin.

Tumigil ang pag-ikot ng mundo ko. Bitchie Mitchie? Great. Just Great.

Nakita kong nanlaki ang mata ni Melvin napanganga, at maya maya'y humalakhak ng malakas. Tumawa rin ng malakas si Karl. Then I decided to walk away from where i was standing few seconds ago. Melvin's laugh pisses me off. It now really pissed me off.

"Yo, Jo! Good eve!" bati niya sa akin nang makita niya akong naglalakad patungo sa pinto, kung saan malapit silang dalawa ni Melvin nag-uusap.

Nakita ko siya with his very wide smile. Tumango lang ako. At dire-diretso kong nilagpasan si Karl. Okay, wala akong mapuntahan. So maybe restroom? Pagpasok ko sa restroom, sakto ngang walang tao.

Pero nung tumingin ako sa salamin, may nakita akong babaeng umiiyak. Mahaba ang buhok na may kulay na pinaghalong light brown at strawberry blonde. She was wearing a black tank top that perfectly fits through her curves. It was matched with a faded grey-colored skinny jeans and a flat pair of shoes. I guess she doesn't need to wear stilletos because of her maybe 5"6 height.

Hindi ko alam kung maganda siya, pero masasabi kong may dating naman siguro siya.. Wait, that was.. ME! Hey! And that's when I exactly felt my tears coming down from my eyes.

Napasimangot ako nang makita ko ang sarili kong umiiyak sa salamin. Within just seconds, nagawang pakalatin ng mga luha ko ang black liquid eyeliner na nasa mata ko sa buong mukha ko. Nagtatalon ako, habang sinasabunutan ko ang sarili ko. I was yellin at myself.

Nang mapagod ako magtatalon, sinampal ko ng malakas ang magkabilang pisngi ko, nang matauhan ako. Walang epekto.

"Damn you, Yap. Damn you and my feelings for you. Damn me, damn this destiny that keeps on crossing our path!"

Napakatanga kong mag-assume na muli. I thought i was done on assuming things simula nuong high school pa? Urgh! i wanna melt now! NOW! That was a big embarassment to myself! Sinuntok ko ang lababong walang kamuang-muang sa mga nangyayari. I felt the pain. But this is nothing compared to the pain my heart's feeling right now.
