"Hi Mk, ready ka na? Papunta na si Randy diyan para sunduin ka. Sorry ulit ha hindi ako nakasama, may mga pahabol kasi para sa piyesta bukas." Glaiza explained why she can't come to fetch me.

"It's alright Glai, I told you I can go with my driver na lang." sabi ko. Tomorrow is their feast day and she asked if I could come the day before para makapag pahinga daw ako.

"Makulit kasi sila Tatay at Nanay, naninigurado raw na makakarating ka sa piyesta namin." she answered and that made me smile knowing that her family likes me not because i'm a celebrity but simply because of what Glaiza put it, 'napaalis mo daw ako sa lungga ko'.

"Ok I'll just wait for Randy then. See you later, Glai."

"Sige Mk. Message ka ha pag paalis na kayo diyan. Siguro mga bago maghapunan andito na kayo. Ingat kayo. Mahal kita. Bye."

"See you, Glai." yon lang nasabi ko, I can't help but smile on how vocal she is with her feelings.

"Let me guess, girlfriend mo na hindi ka girlfriend ang kausap mo, noh?" Nadine said and I gave her a furrowed look but she just laughed it off. "So you're going to pursue her and take the much coveted yes?"

"Nads!" sigaw ko sa kanya.

"What? it's hard to court a country girl Li'l Sis. So good luck." she answered.

"It's because of me that's why she can't give her 'yes' yet." I reasoned.

"Yeah, right. Sabi mo eh. Isn't Bianca coming with you?" she asked next.

"Nope,she said she doesn't want to be a third wheel. But I know she just wants me to have a quality time with Glaiza." sabi ko.

"Yeah so you can get her precious yes." Nads teased and I just rolled my eyes on her.

"Love you Rhi." she said while smiling.

"Masyadong excited si Cha sa pagdating mo, panay ang bilin huwag daw masyadong mabilis ang pag maneho ko." Randy said as we started off. "Nga pala dala mo daw ba si Papi? kung hindi may unan sa likod sakaling gusto mong matulog, may pagkain din pag nagutom ka." he added.

"I'm ok Randy, salamat. Don't worry about me, sanay ako sa mga malalayong biyahe dahil na rin sa trabaho ko." kalma ko sa kanya and he just smiled.

"Tulog ka lang pag inaantok ka ha?" he added at tumango lang ako. I messaged Glai na paalis na kami pero wala pa siyang reply, busy siguro.

"Ah, Randy..." tawag ko sa kanya when my phone rang. Si Glaiza.

"Hello Mk, sorry hindi ko agad nasagot text mo. Ingat kayo sa biyahe, hintayin kita huwag kayong maghapunan sa daan.Sabayan mo ako sa hapunan mamya ha?" she said sweetly.

"Ok Glai, see you. Don't tire yourself too much,ok?" bilin ko and I heard her chuckle

"Maaalahanin talaga si Mk. Opo hindi ako magpapawis kasi malayo po yong taga punas ng pawis ko." she shot back and I can't help but smile. Nakakahiya sa katabi ko pag mapapansin ako kaya nagpaalam na ako.

"Ang sweet niyo naman." pansin ni Randy.

"Sweet ang kaibigan mo eh." I answered. "Is she really like that?" tanong ko.
