"damn".. Slater curse silently , he forgot about the weather season.and here he is freezing and any minute he can turn into ice. He is now infront of this building where christine's apartment located. He doesn't know what came into his mind why he is standing and waiting for christine outside instead of waiting for her inside.Baliw na kung baliw, pero sa sobrang excited tinitiis ang lamig ng panahon sa labas.
"Excuse me mister? are you alright?" that is the 4th time someone ask him.. He try to compose his self then put a smile on his face before he answer the person who's asking.. "yes, im fine!' it is a woman in her mid 40's but still you can say she still look fabulous.
'oh are you waiting for someone? why are you staying here outside?" you can see concern look in her eyes. " yes madam... well, im just excited o see her again! " he gave a small laugh. "haha, i can see in your eyes ! your inlove.. am i right?" .Slater rub the back of his head that cause the woman to laugh loudly. "See? i've never failed to guess.. "
"ahmm. i guess so?" then they both laugh.."ok miste-- "slater". he interupted. "ok slater! nice to meet you my dear.. i hope i can meet your woman too, but im afraid i have to go now1 my husband is also waiting for me." ..
Slater:"Thank you madam"..
"No madam.. just call me eleanor ok?"
Slater: yes eleanor. thank you!
pinagmasdan na lamang ni slater ang pag alis ni eleanor lulan ng magarbang sasakyan nito. Magaan ang loob nya rito, mararamdaman mo kasing may kabutihang puso ito. Just like her mom, ann and also his christine. Napabuga sya ng hangin, at tumingin sa relos nya..
"mag aalas onse na! wala ka parin.." bakas ang pag alala nya dahil naisip nyang baka masyado ng napapagod si christine sa trabaho nya.
"Shit".. napamura sya muli, dahil bahagyang humangin muli at ramdam nya ang pangangatog ng tuhod.. hindi nya na kinaya at umupo na ito sa hagdan na patungo sa entrahada ng building.yumuko sya at bahagyang niyakap ang sarili..
"hey! you ok?" isang malambing na boses ang muling narinig ni slater, kung bibilangin pang lima na itong kumausap sa kanya, hindi nya alam kung maya lakas pa syang tumayo kaya pinili nyang tumahimik.. "sir? are you ok?" pangungulit ng nagmamay ari ng tinig..susupladahan na nya sana ito ngunit napatigil sya sa iniisip.. kilala nya ang boses na yun! ang boses na matagal na nyang gustong marinig di lamang sa pamamagitan ng telepono. Unti-unti nyang iniangat ang mukha , at hindi nga sya nagkamali..
"Oh my god slater, bakit andito ka? teka.. kailan ka pa andito saka bakit anditio ka sa labas, ang lamig lamig.." aligaga itong nilapitan at inalalayang tumayo. "i miss you love!" halos pabulong ng sambit ni slater sa kanya at niyakap ng mahigpit..
Christine: i miss you too love, pero teka! you're freezing!!- halos pasigaw na nyang sabi sa binata na ikinatawa na lang nya ng pagak.
Slater: i-im f-f-fine.. -halos hindi na nya maibigkas dahil nanginginig na ito.
Christine: oh god! hold on love.. papasok na tayo.
Tinulungan naman si christine ng guard para maiakyat na ito sa unit nya..
Christine: ewan ko ba naman kasi sayo at sa labas ka nag antay eh pwede ka namang dito sa loob.
Agad nyang binuksan ang heater at kumuha ng makakpal na comforter! buti na lamang at naipa laundry nya ang mga iyon.Nasa sala si slater at nakaupo sa couch nya at kita mo parin ang panginginig.
Slater: Wha-what are you d-doing? -tanong nya kay christine na akmang aalisin ang kanyang coat..
Christine: making you warm.- inosenteng sagot nito at patuloy sa pag alis ng coat ng binata.
