December 12...
Isang taon na rin ang nakakalipas mula nang dumating ako dito at isang taon na rin akong parang patay. I will be lying if I say I enjoy living here in Australia. It's too quiet for my liking, dati-rati naman ay di ako mahilig sa any form of social media, but now I have them all. Just to pass my time. Hindi tulad sa pillipinas na nandyan lang sii Rossi o kaya si Sai, ni hindi ko nga kilala ang mga kapitbahay namin.
To be honest, I've became very bitter. Lalo na pag naalala ko si Drix. Isang taon na pero walang naganap. Mahirap paniwalaan ang mga pangako nya lalo na kung wala kang maramdaman na ginagawa nya. At first we use skype every week, but now once a fortnight is frequent.
Pero mas bihira ko nang nakakausap si Sai, the last time I talked to him was...well, I can't remember. It was that long time ago. I honestly miss him, his boyish look and his embarrassed reaction when he tries to talk to me before. I just smile to myself whenever I remember him. Mas lalo naman si Rossi, I always miss her crazy schemes and antics. Sa phone ko na lang yun nakakausap dahil inalis nya ang mga social media nya to focus on studying. Balak may Doktor eh.
Lumabas ako sandali at Sinilip ko ang mailbox at nakita ang sulat galing sa school. It's my Hospitality Certificate. I smiled and hurriedly showed it to my mum.
"Mag apply ka na nak" she said smiling back to me as she handed me back my certificate. I decided to take culinary as my course. It's my passion so I'm really excite to start learning.
I went back to my room at sinilip ko na ulit ang cellphone ko at tinitigan ang huling message ni Drix. Mula nang dumating ako dito ay minsan na lang kung mag usap kami. We both try to act as if nothing happened, at katulad lang din nang dati ang relasyon namin.
His last message was sent the same day I went with Ate Alaine at her university's open day. That's a week ago. I've been trying to message him for 3 days at hanggang ngayon ay wala pa ring reply. I'm actually worried, kung ano na ba ang nangyari sa kanya? Na hack kaya ang account nya?
I smiled bitterly. Or maybe, the marriage commenced. Kung sa bagay, it's the 12th of December today. Maybe he finally gave up and he's probably walking her down the aisle right now.

Apat na taon na ang nakakalipas.
Apat na taon na din ang nakakaraan simula nang huli ko syang nakausap. Hindi ko alam kung anong nangyari sa kanya. I think about him every now and again. Not as often as before though, dati nagpupuyat pa ako habang nakaopen lahat nang social networking sites. Naghihintay, sana makita nya ang mga message ko. Umaasa, na sana sumagot sya kahit seen nga ay masaya na ako. However, it never happened. Naghintay lang ako sa wala. Apat na taon, wala akong napala.
Binitawan ko muna ang basong pinupunasan ko to attend to someone at the door. Culinary School went well, now I'm starting my own business. Maliit pa lang ito and I'm planning to branch out, lalo na sa Pilipinas. I'm lucky enough to find a place within the City (A/N Di ko sasabihin kung saan, magagalit si Ate Jay), and for the last six months my business actually garner some popularity between customers. I always open my shop by 5:00 in the morning, no one usually comes in at this time kaya nilalock ko ang pintuan pero nakaflip ang sign.
I smiled when I realised it's one of my patrons. She smiles back and looks for a seat. Bumalik na ako sa likod nang cunter at pinagpatuloy ang pag oorganise. I serve coffees, cakes and some savoury light meals. Lumapit a sa akin ang customer and ordered a cup of coffee, like she always does. Palaging ganun na lang ang inoorder nya and she always seats at the far corner of the store where it's hard for me to see her. As aforementioned she's always here,but we never engage in small talks, just smiles. Kaya nacucurious din ako sa kanya minsan, palagi pa sya nasa laptop o cellphone nya. She must be one busy lady.
Maya-maya pa ay nagsidatingan na ang iba pang customers and I became busy. Wala pa akong employee, since maliit pa naman ang business ko ako pa lang ang trabahador. I'm planning to get employees next month, but we'll see, hindi pa naman kasi ganun kalaki ang profit ko. Plus, I still manage this place well by myself.
While I was wiping one of the tables, I saw the busy lady standing in front of the counter. I hurriedly finished what I'm doing and head back. I thought she was going to order more, but instead she handed me an envelop. Pinunas ko muna ang kamay ko sa apron bago ito abutin. We exchange pleasantries at nagulat ako sa sunod nyang sinabi.
"My company is interested in doing business with you, we hope we can expand The Coffee Heart franchise" she said with I smile. I opened the envelop, nandun ang pangalan nang company at ang mga different restaurants and cafes na hawak nila. Kinilatis ko pa ang mga nakasulat, I'm actually surprised that this company was established just 3 years ago, pero madami na sila kagad franchise including cafes in Boston, Toronto etc. It's just weird na magiging interested sila sa maliit at nagsisimulang business kagaya nang sa akin. "I'll give you time to talk about it" she continues with a smile, "Here's my number. Call me when you've made up your mind". I watched her, stunned, as she left the cafe.
To be honest, I didn't sleep that night. Nakatulala lang ako sa ceiling at hindi mapakali. Magiging mas malaki na ang cafe ko? Magkakaroon na ako nang mga ka sosyo? I squealed and reached for my phone. Buti na lang talaga at nasa isang condominium na ako nakatira kung hindi ay nasaway na ako ni mama.
And so, I arranged a meeting with Courtney the very next day.
