#Officialmeeting" Good morning ma! " i exclaimed excitedly habang pababa ako nang sala. Ngayun kasi magkakaroon nang lunch date sila mama at tita Narissa with her son Mark na long time crush ko. "Ligo po muna ako"
"Sige baby. Bilisan mo nang di tayo malate sa lakad natin" she said.
After doing my morning rituals, i decided to pick a dress na sa tingin ko ay babagay sakin. I turn around in front of the mirror to see how i look with this blue dress na 4 inches above the knee ang haba. "Okay nato" i told myself and smiled.
"11 am na ma, di pa ba tayo aalis?" tanong ko habang pababa na ako ulit nang sala." just give me a minute baby then we'll go" nagmamadaling sabi ni mama. 11:20am umalis na kami nang bahay. We will be meeting tita iza and mark sa favorite resto nila kung saan specialty ang mga seafoods.
We arrived at 11:50am. Our date are already waiting for us. " iza! I missed you! How's the trip?" Tanong niya tapos biglang tingin kay mark na ngumingiti sa gilid. " is this mark already? He grown up well huh! good job!" Sabay thumbs up ni mama kay tita. Habang ako namay titig na titig sa gwapong mukha ni mark. Mas lalo siyang gumwapo ngayon unlike nung mga high school days. Di ko mapigilan ang tumitig.
" hey! Quit staring, you're creeping me out. " biglang sabi ni mark. Napakurap ako nang dahil dun.
"Ay! S-Sorry " nauutal kong sabi. Nakakahiya.
After umorder nila mama, tahimik lang ako sa gilid na nagmamasid sa abalang mark na may katext. Girlfriend niya siguro. Kalungkot naman 😢. Nagkukwentuhan lang sina mama at tita nang bigla akong kausapin ni mark. "Anong year kana nga trix? "
" incoming fresh men this school year "sagot ko.
" ahh. Saang school? " tanong ni mark.
" don't know yet. Gusto ni mama sa UPLB " sagot ko naman
" sa diliman ka nalang para same school tayo. " - mark
" dun din nag-aaral si jharyd kilala mo? " -ako
"Jharyd cortez? Yeah. I know him. Siya ang president sa club nang degree nila" -mark
"bestfriend ko yun! Dun nalang din siguro ako since nandun na kayo" i blurted.
"good! Para magkabonding naman tayo minsan." nakangising sabi ni mark.
"sure!" masaya kong tugon.
Kumain na kami nang dumating ang order namin. Busy parin sa pakikipagkwentuhan sila mama, habang ako masayang kumakain nang paborito kong hipon. Di ko maiwasang mangiti sa possibilidad na pwede kaming maging close ni mark kung sa school niya rin ako mag-aaral. I should convince my mom about this para ma fix na kung saan at kung anong degree ang kukunin ko.
"bye iza and mark! Next time ulit ha?" sabi ni mama.
"sure cass, just beep me whenever you're free to hang out." Sagot naman ni tita iza.
Nagbeso si mama kay tita and mark at hinalikan din ni tita iza ang pisnge ko para magpaalam. Tatalikod na sana ako nang sinabi ni mark "bye trix! See you around."
Napangiti ako at namula. "bye mark see you!" sabi ko bago sumunod kay mama papuntang parking lot.
I put my seatbelt on bago pinaandar ni mama ang sasakyan. "what did mark asked you?" tanong ni mama habang focus ang tingin sa kalsada.
" he told me to enroll at diliman para same school nalang daw kami at magkabonding kapag may oras." i answered while looking outside.
"yun lang?" mom asked again.
"yeah. He also knew Jharyd as the president of photography club." -ako
"oh! That's a good start. Dun ka nalang para magkasama kayong tatlo. Atleast di kana malulungkot kapag first day" - mom smiled cheekily.
"I was about to request that matter. Thanks mom you're the best!!" - i said happily.
Nang dahil sa sinabi ni mama, parang gusto ko nang pumasok sa school kahit kakasimula palang nang bakasyon. Haha. Excited lang ang peg. Pumasok na kami nang bahay nang may sumalubong saking nakangiting Jharyd Cortez. "hi trix!" tapos yumakap sakin. "where have you've been?" he asked while putting his arms around my shoulder. It's 3pm already.
"we went on a lunch ni mama with tita narissa and mark." -i said while grinning.
"oww. With mark . Kaya pala grabi ka kung ngumiti" malungkot na sabi ni jharyd saka umupo ulit sa sofa.
"o? Bat parang di ka masaya para sa'kin?" i asked na nagtatampo. Since high school kasi alam na ni jharyd na crush ko si mark. Sobrang sikat nito sa school namin kasi vocalist siya nang isang banda. Pero kahit saglit di niya ako nadadapuan nang tingin. Maganda naman ako, sexy, mabait, matalino. Ano pa bang hinahanap niya! Hahai.
"di naman sa ganun trix. Nag-aalala lang ako baka masaktan ka. Alam mo naman yang si mark since high school diba? Basta-basta nalang niyang binebreak ang mga girlfriend niya without comforting their backs." pagpapaliwanag ni jharyd na nakapamulsa habang nakasandal sa sofa.
"Yeah. I know right. But maybe he'd changed kasi college na siya. And besides, he's nice while talking to me during lunch. Gumwapo siya lalo." nakasalop pa ang kamay ko while grinning and blushing about the thought of mark talking to me.
"okay. By the way, tomorrow is the outing okay. I just came to tell you para makapag-empake ka na. 1 week tayo dun, don't forget." -nakaturo niyang sabi sa'kin.
"Whoah!! Gosh!! I almost forgot about that outing thing. Tsk!! If you don't mind, could you please help me pack my things upstairs pretty please?" pakurap-kurap kong suyo kay Jharyd habang nakasuot ang kamay ko sa braso niya.hoping na tumalab ang pagpapacute ko. Hahaha
"Don't do that! You look cute, nakakainis. Tara na nga! " he said while scratching his head. Hahaha. I knew it! Di niya ako matitiis, bestfriend ko to for how many years kaya kilalang-kilala ko nato since birth.hahahaha. di joke lang. Since elementary pala.
After mag-empake, umalis na rin si Jharyd kasi may pupuntahan daw siya.
6pm na ngayon, hmmmm. kaya pala ang bango-bango nang kusina nagluluto na si mama. Habang kumakain, i told mama about the outing with Jha's family tomorrow. She's okay with it basta mag-ingat lang daw ako. Kami lang ni mama ang kumakain ngayon kasi nag-out of the country sila kuya miguel with his girlfriend. He's annoyingly protective brother, kaya nagpasalamat ako na nagkagirlfriend na yun para mahati naman ang attensyon niya.
"By the way, final na bang sa Diliman ka papasok?" mama asked while we walk to the living room.
"oo ma. Para di na ako loner. Sabay na rin kami ni jharyd mag-eenroll para ma etour niya ako after." i replied.
"okay. It's settled then." she said sighing.
I am now doing my evening rituals para makatulog. After kong lumabas nang banyo, i put my fav Hello kitty pj's. I really love anything basta hello kitty since bata pa ako until ngayon na magco-college na ako.
I am doing nothing nang maisipan kong magfacebook muna. Maraming notifs, friend requests and messages as usual. But, one name caught my eye. 'Mark Joseff Paolini sent you a friend request '. "O MY GOSH!!" I exclaimed. I cant believe it. I clicked the accept button then logged out. "this is one of the happiest day ever!"
