Mr. Past meets Ms. Present

Time made it!

Ilang beses na may nagdoorbell....

Pagbukas niya ng pinto isang malaking bouquet ang bumungad sa kanya...

"So eto pala ang last padala ni Angie", sabi niya sa sarili

Isang tulalang Jackie ang tumanggap ng roses... bakit ?

"Excuse me ma'am passign po?", sabi ng lalaki

Pero parang nakakita ng multo si Jackie sa kinatatayuan...

"Ma'am okay lang po kayo?", sabi ulit ng lalaki

Parang lumulutang ang pakiramdam ni Jackie na nakatuon ang mata sa lalaking nasa gate...

Nilagpasan ang delivery guy sa pinto at lumapit sa lalaking nasa gate

"Hi", bati ng lalaki na nawewerduhan sa inaakto niya

Hindi siya sumagot at hinimas ang mukha nito na parang namamangha sa nakikita

"Can't believe this", nasabi niya sa sarili

"Me neither ", singit ng babae sa likuran ng lalaki si Angie

"Bessy?!", sabi ni Jackie sabay yakap kay Angie

"That was my initial reaction when I saw James, my cousin in Canada ", pagpapakilala ni Angie Kay James

"Cousin?", sabi ulit niya

"Yes , anak siya ng eldest ni Lolo Jack", explain ni Angie emphasizing the name Jack

"They transferred to Canada when we were six years old and we just saw each other during a mini reunion in California and then I remember the big resemblance he have with Lolo Jack when you know Lolo was still young ", Angie explains

"Hi", singit ni James

"Hello", nahihiyang sabi ni Jackie, realizing that awkward first meeting she did earlier

"Nice to finally meet you I heard some stories about you and Lolo ", sabi ni James

"What?!", bigla niyang sabi

Tumingin si Jackie Kay Angie at isang tango lang sinagot nito...

Natatawa naman si James

"Why?", sabi naman ni Jackie

"You really fell for that joke?", natatawang Sabi ni James

"Ha?", nagtatakang sabi ni Jackie

"Coz you have the same name with my Lolo 's first girlfriend here", pageexplain ni James

"He talked about me I mean his first girlfriend?", interesadong tanong ni Jackie

"Always as long as Lola is not around(he giggles), he even have this picture and I just realize now you really look like her except of course on the dress and by looking at you it makes me wonder if you are related to her since you have the same name", kwento ni James

"Hahaha I don't think so", sabi na lang ni Jackie

"I don't think this is the right place for the both of you to get to know each other", singit ni Angie na nahalatang nawili ang dalawa sa pagkukuwentuhan

Nagtinginan ang dalawa Sabay ngiti.....

"I think time did it again", sabi ni Jackie

"Ha?", pagtatakang tanong ni James habang nasa park sila at naglalakad

Yes after they met James insisted on knowing her so they went out during his stay in the Philippines and pursued an LDR relationship and now she is in the US planning their much awaited wedding!

"Yes! Time made a way for us to be together I guess its destiny",sabi naman ni James

"I love you not forever but lifetime", sabi naman ni Jackie

"Lifetime ?", tanong ni James

"Kasi walang forever", natatawang sagot ni Jackie

And they both laughed!

Happy ending din naman pala....
