Bea's.
Dug. Dug. Dug. Dug. Dug. Dug.
My heart is pounding loudly. We're just staring at each other. I don't know what to say. Hindi ko naman kasi ineexpect na gagawin nya kaya humarap ako and yeah, I'm a bit dissapointed that time. Kasi para sakin magkaibigan na kami kaya walang malisya sa kanya pero parang di pa kaibigan turing nya sakin kaya nadissapoint ako at humarap para sabihing I'm teasing her kahit hindi naman.
I snapped back in reality when she hit me.
Pinanangga ko yung braso ko sa mga hampas nya. Volleyball player ba to? Masakit e. I caught her arms and turn her so I'm hugging her from behind.
"What are you doing?! " She said with a hint of irritation in her voice.
"I just want to explain okay? And I can't do that if you keep on hitting me. " I said.
Humarap sya sakin pero hawak ko pa rin ang mha braso nyang naka cross arms and she's pouting.
"Miss, I'm sorry. Kasi diba pag magkaibigan, gagawin nya agad kasi wala namang malisya. And you took 10 seconds so I thought you feel uneasy kaya humarap ako cause I concluded you doesn't still see me as a friend. " I explained looking directly at her eyes.
She sighed and smiled that made me smile too. Sobrang nakakahawa smile nya.
She hold my hand. "I'm sorry for overreacting Triz. I'm reserving my first kiss kasi to my wedding day. Corny ba? Haha. And sobrang lapit na kasi kaya nahampas kita. And for formality, I'm Jhoana Louisse Maraguinot. " she said and offered her hands to a shake.
"I'm Isabelle Beatriz De Leon. Friends? "
"Bestfriends. " she said that made my heart skip in delightment.
"So let's go to the table? " I asked.
"YEP!" She said popping the p.
Pinaupo ko muna sya saka ako umupo.
"Can I ask something? " I asked. She just nods.
"Bakit Triz tawag mo sakin? "
"Haha sorry. My fault. I heard your mom called you "Triz" which is Beatriz pala. But would you mind if Triz itawag ko sayo? " she asked while her hands are making a please sign ang she's doing puppy eyes. Hays. How can be she so cute?
"But you will allow me to call you Uisse (Wis ) too? "
"Sure. So that's a deal? "
"Yes. " I said and pinch her nose.
"Aish. I hetyu. " she said while rubbing her nose.
Kumanta naman ako ng red nose reindeer haha. Sya naman tawa ng tawa.
"Ang ganda ng boses mo beh. Parang ginagamit sa horror movies haha. " she said trying to surpress her laugh -______- But something caught my attention.
"Did you call me beh? "
She stop and look at me.
"Yea. Problem with that? That's our endearment. No buts. " she said while doing a hand gesture of no.
I smiled widely, "I didn't say that I"ll protest. " she smiled at me too and we're just staring at each other when someone knocked at the door.
"Ma'am here's your order. " said a staff.
She placed it in the table and bowed before leaving.
I turned to Uisse and haha her eyes are sparkling.
"You can eat. "
She didn't say anything , she just grabbed the spoon and fork and started eating.
Napailing na lang ako at kumain na din, when we helped ourselves already, she asked me.
"Lahat ba ng sunflowers dito, totoo? "
"No. " I started and she looks dissapointed. Oh maybe, she love those sunflowers.
"But in every 150 fake sunflowers, there are 2 that's real. We have here 1200 so there is 8. And you know what? If you picked a real one with a blindfold on together with someone, that someone will stay in your life forever. 80% true. That's a belief. "
"So let's pick! "
H-huh? So does that mean she want me to stay in her life? My heart is beating so fast. I should consult a doctor, really.
