They spent time chatting together. Marami silang pinag-usapan tungkol sa isa't isa. They fed each other more informations about themselves. It was like getting to know each other more.
Raf found out Faith loves listening to music. But when he asked if she could sing, she quickly said no. He laughed at that. Pareho pala silang hindi marunong kumanta.
When he was asked what certain thing he's interested in, he answered cars.
"Why cars?" kunot-noong tanong ni Faith.
"I find them awesome," he answered with a smile.
"Is that it?"
"Yup."
"So, since when you got interested with it?" she asked again.
"Since I was nine. When my parents were still together, my dad often bring me to car shows."
"Oh. Now I know why. Cars remind you of your dad."
Raf chuckled. "Much like that."
Watching car shows was just one of the best memories he had with his dad. He could still remember his dad's promise to him that he'll gonna buy him a car when he reached twenty. Two more years to go pero hindi siya sigurado kung matutupad pa nito ang pangako. His dad can afford to buy him car, yes, but it's only their situation that make it complicated.
Alam ni Raf na gwardyado pa rin ng unang asawa nito ang daddy niya kaya nga mismong ang pagpapadala nito ng pera sa kanila ay palihim pa. Even his vacation in Portugal last year was a secret. His father made him stay in a condominium where his dad stays sometimes. Six months din siyang nagbakasyon doon. Mabuti na lamang at hindi iyon nalaman ng unang asawa ng daddy niya. He was actually thrilled to find out na wala pa ring anak ang ama niya sa una. Rebecca always suffer miscarriage according to his dad. Pero ayaw pa rin nitong bitawan ang daddy niya. Rebecca's still hopeful that she can give his dad a child. Raf knew it's stupid to wish na sana hindi na lang ito mabuntis, pero gusto lang kasi niyang mabuong muli ang pamilya nila. He's just one of those children who wishes to have a complete family.
"Raf?" pukaw ni Faith sa kanya.
"Oh...sorry, I was spacing out."
"It's okay. Alam kong naiisip mo ang daddy mo."
Ngumiti lamang siya saka tumango.
"Hey, you mentioned you love historical places. You wanna see some in Portugal?" tanong niya kay Faith.
"Why not?" she beamed. "But how?"
"I'll take you there," he joked.
Tumawa naman ito. He loves seeing her laughing and blushing at his jokes.
"I can show you some pictures," wika niya.
Kinuha niya ang kanyang phone sa loob ng bag saka pumunta sa gallery. He had lots of photos from his vacation stored in there. Most of it wasn't yet uploaded on his social media accounts.
Lumapit sa kinauupuan niya si Faith. But not that close to him though. Nag-iwan ito ng maliit na espasyo sa pagitan nila. Alam niyang naiilang itong magdikit sila.
Isa-isa niya ipinakita kay Faith ang mga litrato.
"This is Torre de Belém," turo niya sa isang torre na nakatayo sa gilid ng dagat. "It's one of UNESCO World heritage site."
"Ang ganda!" manghang sabi ni Faith.
He showed her more historical photos like the Mosteiro dos Jéronimo, Padrão dos Descobrimentos, the Lisbon Cathedral and also the Lisbon Oceanarium.
