Must have you

September 10, Saturday 5:45 am

Manoah dropped by at Athena's cafe to buy his mom's favorite cinnamon rolls. But other than that he's somehow hoping he will see the girl again.

"You again! cinnamon roll para sa mommy?"

yah! ahm she really like your bread here sir

"Isagani, tito Isagani nalang, oh wala ka ng salamin?"

They shake each other's hands firmly

tito Isagani, Manoah po Nag-contact lenses muna po ako kasi lagi ko nakakalimutan eh .salamat po dito sa tinapay at dinagdagan niyo pa ng libreng isa 

you're welcome, you're looking for something else?

Because Isagani noticed Noah's wandering eyes all over the place

ahm wala, wala po sige po tito

alright young man, ingat

"Manoah! oh here's your cinnamon roll" - Isagani

he he he alam agad tito ah

Syempre, kaialangan kabisado mo ang hilig ng mga customers mo para mas lalo silang ma-enganyo bumalik diba. Pero iho, ang aga mo ata ngayon, antok na antok pa mga mata natin ah

"oo nga po eh hindi lang po talaga kasi ako sanay sobrang aga gumising"

masunurin at maalagang anak ka siguro - interupted by the owner's wife

at gwapo pa, oh diba. siguro marami nagkakagusto sayo ano

"ha ha ha, hindi naman po"

naku darling, ang mga tunay na gwapo hindi asumero, tulad ko kaya mo nga ako nagustuhan diba

Manoah is delighted just watching the old couples exchange sweet gestures and cheesy lines, looking down shaking his head like a five year old kid

September 12, Monday 5:30am

Noah iho! kakabukas palang namin first customer ka kaagad- Tita Shirley

"napaaga lang po ang gising"

oh siya sige bibigyan muna kita ng kape 

Sitting at the corner of the old wooden cafe, sipping his coffee two cups of espresso, then three, then four and checks the time at his watch every thirty second. It is 10:00 am already, he seems pissed but can't understand really why

"darling, may iba sa batang yan ngayon. araw-araw nandito tapos pa-aga ng pa-aga may pinag-dadaanan ba to" - Shirly

"meron, love-struck" - Sir Isagani

"ha? anong love-struck?"

"wala, sige na hayaan nalang muna natin yung bata pumasok kana sa kusina nagugutom nako darling"
