He is not the man i dreamed of. He is a playboy. A fuckboy. A totally jerk and douche.
A real opposite to my ideal one.
But i didn't expect that on one swift move, on a glipmse of his eyes and our single touch. He got the my attention.
I am captiv...
I got my self up from bed by the ring of my alarm. I hurriedly go to the bathroom. Thank God i already pack my things last night.
I wear a skinny black ripped jeans and a gray halter top and a pair of my white adidas shoes. I used my knee-long cover up. I put a simple make up on my face and comb my hair. After i get my things and i get out of my room.
"Are you sure you'll be fine there?" Mom asked.
I am in the middle of my breakfast when she is reminding me everything even she just told me all of this last night.
"Yes ma. May mga kakilala naman ako doon eeh."
Huminga siya ng malalim.
"Bakit ba sa Cagayan mo pa talaga gustong mag-aral? May mga schools naman dito ."
I don't give a damn to the schools here. I just want to be in that place. I remember when i was just looking at his face on facebook i got a feeling that i think i should be there to know him more.
I'm not there just to roam around and seek for him. I also want to experience the place . He is just a take.
"Basta mag-iingat ka uh? Don't get me worried. " mom hugged me.
"Of course. You also should take care of yourself. I love you. "
She fixed my hair.
"Always call me and update me everythinh okay. " she kissed my forehead.
Nang tinawag na ang flight ko at nagpaalam na kaming dalawa sa isa't isa. This is the first time i will live independently and far away from her.
Nang makaupo na ako ay chineck ko ang aking cellphone. There are so many text messages saying goodbye and see you soon i reply with them and i saw a text from someone.
Ej: Where are you now?
This guy is such a cold hearted. His text is so plain and gahh! Pero kung wala siya lahat ng to magbabago. Hindi ganito ang takbo ng storyang ito.
To Ej: I'm boarding now. I will just text you if i arrive okay?
After that message send. I turned my phone off. I look outside the window of the plane as it moves up.
I suddenly remember how i first met Ej. That fuckboy. Well he is not the one i like because i hated all of them. Even his cousins. Naa.
I am walking along the street that day. I've been from my friends house and then someone called me from behind.
"Hey miss!"
Lumingon ako . And i saw a tall handsome guy. But his earing in his ear gotvmy sight.
"Bakit?"
Is he some kind of addict? But his handsome . Or a gangster. Gah! Sasapakin ko siya pag nagkataon.
"Hey!!" Sigaw niya na ikinagulat ko.
"Bat ka ba sumisigaw??!!" Nagtiim bagang siya at pumikit.
"I've been talking here then you are not saying anything. Seem preoccupied by chacking on me?."
Mahangin pala to eeh.
"Ano bang kailangan mo?" Tanong ko nang matapos na.
"Okay. I don't know where to go. Because i can't find a taxi here. I should be in the hotel now but I'm here stuck. Can you help me?"
"Okay. Anong hotel mo?"
"Ahh. . Garden Orchid Hotel ?"
"Okay tara na. "
Naghintay kaminng masasakyan habang siya naman ay busy sa pagtitext. Mukhang hindi nga siya taga dito obvious naman diba. By his features ay mukhang anak mayaman.
"What is that?"
"Tricycle. Wala ba nito sa inyo?"
"Meron. Wala bang taxi dito? I will pay don't worry."
Napasapo na lang ako ng mukha ko.
"Alam mo. Paalala lang sayo uh. Kung maglalakbay ka. Alamin mo muna kung anong pupuntahan mo uh. Lara di ka magmukhang tanga. This is Zamboanga City. Walang Taxi dito. Tricycle and jeep lang ang public vehicle may pedicab din. Pero hindi tayo madadala no'n sa hotel mo. !"
"Sorry. I didn't expect that." Sumakay na kami sa tricycle ang laking tao naman nito ni hindi kami magkasya.
"Saan ka ba nanggaling?"
"CDO lang."
"Ano namang ginagawa mo dito?"
"Wala lang bakasyon lang."
"Wow . Ang yaman niyo siguro noh?".
"You can say that."
Ang yabang. Oo alam kong paulit ulit na ako dito sa salitang yan pero yan talaga siya eeh. Ganun na ganun. Ang tipid magsalita. We talked about ourselves. Kaya naman nakilala ko siya ng kaonti.

"Iwan na kita dito uhh."
Tumango siya.
"Yeah thank you. Ahm what is your name again?" He asked.
"Marie . "
"Marie lang?"
"It's Maria Isabelle Quenery"
"Half ka? Phil-Am?"
"No. Nagpakasal kasi si mommy sa isang british kaya nagpalit na rin ako. "
Tumango tango siya.
"Can i ask you a favor?"
"Ano naman?"
"Can you be my tour guide?"
"May bayad?"
"Didn't know you are like that though your rich."
"I'm not."
"By the things you wore. The brand of those. And your feautures."
"Pinapapantasyahan mo ba ako?"
"Hell no! I was just saying. I'm inlove with someone else. So deal?"
"Ok. I'll take our car."
"Great".
"Sige mauna na ako."
Papalakad na sana ako ng sumigaw siya.
"Hey! . . I'm Elijah Riley Montefalco by the way."
