[ Cailee's POV]
Ha? Sino 'to? I know it's the familiar guy but he shouldn't be familiar at all because I didn't even have a chance to know him before.
"Sakay na Cailee."
And he knew my name. I wiped my tears and stood up. He opened the door for me which mattered a lot to me after I knew the jerk, Kevin.
How did he know my name?
"I'm so sorry for my brother's foolishness. He's very crazy and yes, terrible. You better shun him, Cailee." He shook his head. "Stay away from him."
We were so quiet until we arrived in our—wait? How did he know my address too?
Ipinagbukas niya na naman ako ng pinto. He's so gentle unlike the jerk na parang isang gangster sa kataran-taduhan.
"Pumasok ka na. Your parents must be waiting for you. And it's so cold outside. You should be in by now, you know."
"Sa—salamat."I thanked him with a sincere wide smile. He smiled back. He looked like the most adorable person in the world that moment!
"Goodnight."
"Thanks again. G'night."
Papasok na ako ng gate pero lumingon ulit ako para tingnan siya. Hindi pa siya pumasok ng kotse. Ngumiti siya sa'kin kaya tumalikod agad ako. Geez. Why is my cheek heating up!
"Cailee, sandali."
"Ye-yes? Why?"
"Ahh—Wala. I just wanna remind you again to shun my brother. Believe me Cailee, he can really be crazy sometimes. Kaya, 'wag ka ng sumama ulit sa kanya."
Tumango na lamang ako. Matapos magpalitan ulit ng goodbyes at goodnights, pumasok na ako. I went inside w/ something weird inside of me— heart beating so fast, cheeks heating up and weird shivers through my veins. Geez. This isn't you, Cailee.
"Ma,am Cailee? Okay lang po ba kayo? Ang lawak ng pakakangiti nyo?" puna ni yaya Melda na nagbukas ng gate.
"Po? Ah. Hehe. Wa-wala po yaya Mel. Pa—pasok na po ako sa loob."
Just right after I arrived in my room, napayakap agad ako sa unan ko habang nakatitig sa kisame na parang wala sa sarili. Omg.
"Ano kayang pangalan nya? Teka! Hindi ba't nasabi kong familiar sa'kin ang lalaki na 'yon? feeling ko, I've seen him so many times!"
I closed my eyes and hardly tried to remember where and when. Napabangon ako sa kama upon remembering something.
"Ya'h! Siya nga 'yon! 'Yong muntik kong mabangga ng umalis ako ng library. At!" I stood up and reached for my bag. Quickly, I took my wallet out. "Waah! Siya nga 'tong nasa picture!"
Omg, siya nga 'to! Ano kaya ang pangalan niya? Ugh, wait. Cailee? What are you doing? Stop thinking about him! You sounded like an idiot now! You have to rest na. May volunteer service nga pala ako sa library tomorrow.
Early in the morning, I'm in library already arranging some books in the shelves. Inaabangan ko si mystery-guy. But, to my surprise, I saw someone instead.
"What? Totoo?"
It's Kevin! Siya 'yong kumuha ng aklat na binabasa ko. And he then went out after scanning the book.
