*ARINNE SHIA*
"Uy... Matagal pa ba?"
"Wait lang," tanging naisagot niya sa tanong ko.
"Okay. Pero matagal pa ba?" pangungulit ko pa.
"5 minutes na lang, Arinne. Sandali na lang to," muling sagot niya.
"Gutom na ko, Jb. Bilisan mo na, o."
"Heto na, Arinne. Kulit mo rin, no?"
Matapos ang nangyareng insidente kanina lamang ay napagpasyahan kong makikain ulit kay Jb. I'm serious when I said na babalik ako para makikain uli sa bahay niya.
Inilapag na niya ang plato na may kanin, pati na ang niluto niyang adobo.
"O, kain ka na."
"Woohoo! Salamat sa pagkain," masayang sambit ko saka na ko nagsimulang kumain.
"Arinne?"
"Yep?" saad ko saka siya nilingon.
"Uhmm..."
"The incident a while ago?" pagtatapos ko na sa sasabihin niya.
"Yeah. I'm just wondering who was that man? Santi ba 'yun?"
"Yup. Santi. If you want to know about him, I'll tell it to you. Pero mamaya na, kakain lang muna 'ko."
"Sure, sige lang kain ka muna."
"Salamat." Saka ko pinagpatuloy ang pagkain ko

"Rinne, Santi's calling you," Ivan then gave his phone to me.
"Sup, duck?" I answered.
(Shia, labas ka dali.)
"Why?"
(Basta labas ka na kasi)
"Fine. Ayan na" saka na ko dumiretso palabas ng pinto.
(Walk outside then tumingin ka sa taas, okay?)
Ginawa ko naman, matapos kong lumabas ng pinto ay tumingin ako sa labas.
'I LOVE YOU, SHIA! PLEASE BE MINE!' It was written on a huge poster, hanging outside.
"Anong pakulo 'to Santi?"
(A surprise, I guess.)
"Teka, nasaan ka ba ha?"
"Sa likod mo," narinig kong sabi niya. I turned around and faced him, then I saw him kneeling in front of me, holding a bouquet of flowers.
"Ahhh. What's with you?" I asked him, confused about what's going on.
We're friends, yeah. We're gangmates. But...nothing more to that... For me.
"I wanna court you, Shia. Nice and clean," he said while flasing his pearly whites
"Uh... ano kasi, e." Pa'no ko ba sasabihin?
"Please..." I noticed his sincerity, and so I sighed.
"O-okay.." nasagot ko na lang.
Maybe I should give him a chance.
~~~
"Shia, who was that man?"
"Santi, kaklase ko 'yon."
"**** with that, Shia! Nagpapakahirap akong manligaw sa 'yo, pero nakikipaglandian ka lang sa ibang lalake?!"
"Ano? Nakikipaglandian? You're not even my boyfriend, pero kung makaasta ka parang asawa mo na 'ko."
"You're mine, Shia! mine alone! I'll kill anyone na aagaw sa 'yo. Tandaan mo yan!"
