Chapter 4: A Friend Request *(O.o)

48 1 2
                                    

Gabi na nang makauwi sina Alex, Ace at Jade.

Hindi pa rin maalis sa isip ni Alex ang sinabi sa kanya ni Jade. She thought 't'was funny. Pero para kay Jade, 't'was a serious matter. She wanted Alex to meet someone na makakapagpabago ng baluktot nyang paniniwala tungkol sa pag-ibig.

Alex came from a broken family. Pangalawa sya sa tatlong magkakapatid. Her older sister na si Ysabella ay isang single mom, ang bunso naman nilang si Michael ay 4th yr. student ng EVSU, kung saan din sya kumukuha ng kursong BS-Civil Eng'g. Iniwan sila ng kanilang amang isang Arkitekto para sumama sa kalaguyo neto. Alex was just 12 yrs. old when her father left.

Ang nangyari sa kanyang mga magulang ang naging dahilan upang hindi sya maniwala sa "happy ever after" at sa "forever". Before her parents separated, she believed in fairytales, true love, happy ever after and in forever. In an instant nawala lahat ng paniniwala nya dito. Simula noon inisip na nya na isang malaking kalokohan lamang ang ma-inlove. And she promised herself that she'll never fall inlove. Never.

(Alex's POV)

Pagdating ko nang bahay ay agad akong nagtungo sa kwarto at binuksan ang PC.

Facebook! ☜(*▽*)☞

When I opened my account, may isang friend request. (O.o) 'T'was a "HE". Na-curious ako sa kanya kaya I went to his wall. Oooh... 'Gandang lalaki neto!

I dunno what went through my head and I confirmed his friend request. Hindi ko talaga ugali ang mag-add nang kung sino-sino sa list of friends ko sa fb. Masyado akong unfriendly sa fb :D

I was downloading something nang biglang may nag-message sa'kin sa fb.

"Sino 'to?" O.o"

I was deciding if I should response or shoul I not, when he sent me a message again.

Him: Hi. Just wanted to be a friend. :))

Hmmp. He wanted to be my friend? 

Me: Hi.

Him: Hey :) thought you'll never response

Me: Thanks for adding me, btw. :)

Him: And thanks for confirming my request. :D

Me: Wlang anuman. Are we from the same skul?

Him: We are. Actually, I always get to see you everyday at EB

Me: O.o huh? really? How come I can't recognize u?

Him: 'cos I'm not from the COE. I'm an architecture student..

Me: Oh, kya nman pla! wait.. ur spying on me? O.o

Him: haha.. jeez.. no, i'm not... :)

Me: u told me awhile ago na prati mo akong nakikita sa EB...

Him: Yup. Hindi lang bsta nkikita, kundi pansin na pansin... u see, u have this beautiful loud voice na umaabot hanggang sa room ng CAAD students..

Me: O.O tlaga?

Him: Yes. Dba prati mong dala yung gitara mo? & you have this soulful voice na khit hndi ko nkikita ang mukha mo, ay ramdam ko yung kanta mo... are you broken?

Wew. Wait a sec... why am I chatting with this guy? I don't even know him! Pero kilala nya 'ko. Hmmmp. Crush 'ata ako netong isang 'to! Feelingera eh! ('▽´) Ang hindi ko maintindihan eh kung bakit ka-chat ko sya!? I mean I should've turned off the chat box, but I didn't. This is just curiosity. Yun! Curiosity lang!

Him: Miss?

Me: I'm not broken at hinding-hindi ako magiging broken :) 

Him: really? paanong hindi?

Me: 'cos i will never fall for anyone. :D

Him: you sure of that? O.o

Me: 'course! teka nga... u nver introduced urself... u know, i shouldn't talk to strangers specially in social networking sites like fb...

Him: hahaha... u serious?

Me: Immensely serious.

Him: jeez... ok, then... I'm Mr. Naphtali Alexander S. Montenegro, imma 4th yr Archi student, im 20y.o, 5'7" tall, imma basketball player, i also do motocross, i love music... i love playing guitar, piano and drums. I also love reading books. :) Any questions?

Wow! Wow lang talaga! So magkatukayo pa pala kami. O.o

No ways! Ano 'to? Ba't parang napaka-interesante ng taong 'to? Heck!

Him: I already introduced myself, it'll not be fair kung hindi mo rin ipapakilala ang sarili mo.

That's it! Gotta log out na agad-agad! >______________________<

Hindi ko na namalayan ang oras, past 11 na pala. Hindi maalis sa isipan ko yung lalaking yun. I shouldn't be thinking of him right now. Bakit hindi sya maalis sa isipan ko? This is the first time.

12am na, pero hindi pa rin ako dinadalaw ng antok. So, I decided to turn on my laptop. Next thing I know I was stalking Naphtali Alexander S. Montenegro's wall. Shete. Anong kalokohan 'tong ginagawa ko? This is so insane! 

He's kinda cute. No... He's handsome. Anak ng tokwa! Why am I praising him? O.o I never praise any guy. I never did. Even my friends, Japs & Ace, they never heard me praising them, or saying something good about their looks. Pero, heto ako... staring at an image of a strange guy. Then I noticed na meron pala akong unread message.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Alexandra Francheska D. Gallego. I'm sorry, hindi ko napigilan ang sarili kong hindi tingnan ang profile mo. I know you're a CE student. I was just awed when I found out that your real name is Alexandra Francheska... I mean, ano 'to? Magkatukayo pala tayo! Awesome! \m/. I hope we could be friends. :)) Good night."

(¬‿¬) Ba't ka nakangiti Alexandra? Paki-explain mo nga sa sarili mo?

Crap! This is foolishness na talaga, Alexandra!!! ⊙.☉
