"Lilac, kinakabahan ako." Kasalukuyan kong katawagan si Lilac. Ngayon na kasi ang labas naming ni Hunter at kinakabahan ako.
"Gaga! Mag-ayos ka na! Anong kaba-kaba?! Huwag mong palampasin ang pagkakataon na magkakaroon ka ng boyfriend!"
"Sira! Hindi naman ako naghahanap ng boyfriend. Nakaayos na ako. Sabi niya sa akin kanina wear something comfortable raw. Naka white shirt, jeans at rubber shoes ako."
"Haidee! Jusmio! Date 'yan hindi sandaliang labas. Magpalit ka nga!"
"Lilac, sabi niya wear something comfortable. Dito ako kumportable." Sabi ko.
"Nako! Kaya hindi ka nagkaka-boyfriend! Bahala ka kapag ikaw nawalan ng pagkakataon. Hunter Rivera na 'yan bestfriend! Utang na loob 'wag mo ng pakawalan."
"Kung makapagreact parang ikaw ag makikipagrelasyon."
"Bestfriend, ayan na kasi 'yung chance. Pinapalampas mo pa."
"Lilac, kung hindi niya ako matatanggap 'wag niya na lang akong ligawan. Isa pa hindi naman ako in love sa kanya. Si Dave pa rin naman."
"Dave! Dave! Dave! Puro ka na lang Dave."
"Bakit ba? Siya naman talaga noon pa." Sabi ko. Hindi ko mapigilan na hindi maiinis kay Lilac. Pilit niya akong tinutulak kay Hunter. Pati pananamit ko pinupuna. "Sige na, ibababa ko na ito baka dumating na si Hunter."
Ilang minute ang nakalipas at dumating na ang hinihintay ko. "Pasensya ka na dito sa unit ko ha? Medyo makalat hindi pa kasi ako nakapag-ayos."
"It's fine." Nginitian niya ako. Ngumiti ako pabalik sa kanya.
"Tara na ba?" Tanong ko.
He nodded. "You picked the right kind of clothing. Siguradong magtatatalon ka sa pupuntahan natin."
"Ha?" Naguguluhan kong tanong.
Kinuha niya ang isa kong kamay at may iniligay na dalawang tickets. Agad nanlaki ang mga mata ko ng mabasa ko ang nakasulat doon.
"Oh my gosh! Oh my freaking gosh! Mayday Parade!" Nagtatatalon ako sa tuwa. "How? Oh my gosh!" Tili ako ng tili habang tumatalon. I can't contain the feelings I have right now.
"You seem so happy." Kumento niya.
"Are you kidding?! This is my favorite band! Wait! You're not joking, right?"
He laughed. "That's true. It's my favorite band too." He said.
"Really?!" I exclaimed.
He nodded. "Now, let's go before we get late." He held out his hand to me. I smiled at him. Before I took his hand, I tiptoed to kiss his cheek. "Thank you." I said. I took his hand and intertwined my fingers with his.
He led me into his car and he started the engine. I'm just so excited. I can't believe its our first date and look where he is taking me. I can't contain my happiness.
"Why have you decided to bring me to this concert?" I asked.
"Well, I was thinking of showing you want kind of music I like and luckily I had bought two tickets for this concert. One was supposed to be for my brother but he declined the offer. He was actually the one who said that I should bring a girl to the concert rather than him."
"Thank you for choosing me. I'm so happy! When I saw the tickets I couldn't just believe it! This is a dream come true. Thank you so much." I stared at him.
