Chapter 1

April 24, 2006, Tagbiliran Bohol

"Ate Ana, Look! May falling star oh. Tara, mag wish tayo."
Pauwi na sina Marvee at Ana nang makakita sila nang falling star sa tapat ng Bakery. Nang buksan niya ang mga mata niya, may isang lalake na nakatayo sa harap niya.
"Wish granted." Sabi ng lalake.
"What?" Marvee asked.
"Didn't you asked the star for a Prince Charming? He sent me. Wish granted."
"Wake Up! You must be dreaming."
He put his arms around her and faced the people inside the bakery.
"Hey guys! this is my girlfriend, Marvee."
She punched the guy.
"how the hell did you know my name? and how can I be your girlfriend? I don't even know you."
"You dont? Oh, that hurts! But I know everything about you."
"you sound scary. But i'll never be your girlfriend even if your the only man left in this world."
"You said you don't know me,but why do you hate me that much?"
"i don't hate you. I just don't like you!" The she walked away. She doesn’t know the guy. But She feels so irritated in him. He looks so boastful and she really hates it. He’s over confident. The guy keeps on following her since last year and she doesn’t know why, She’s not into a relationship and she hates the idea of having one.

She used to be in the city during school days, but they always have their summer vacation in tagbiliran and she thinks she and that boastful guy is the same since she always saw him during summer, she used to pass in his house everyday of her summer life. They had a bakery which marvee used to go to every night for their midnight snacks.

She always get irritated whenever she saw the guy around. She remembered the first time she saw him, They were playing Badminton in the park when a sound of a motorcycle noised, The guy in the motorcycle smiled widely in her friends, she hates noisy vehicles, Then the guy waved at her! Yeah, he waved at her while smiling like as if they knew each other and she really hates it! And yes, she hated it for years….

Marvee and Ana always come to their tita net's store every summer. Who had the biggest store in tagbiliran, they  loved to help their tita with everything in the store. Tita net is their tito Jun's girlfriend.One day when they were busy helping their tita net….
"Hello Ninang!" 
"O Alex,Napa daan ka?"
"Narinig ko kasi na dito lagi pumupunta sina marvee, nandito po ba siya?"
"Oo nasa stock room. bakit? magkakilala kayo?"
"I know her, but she doesn't know me."
"Pano nangyari yun?"
"Ninang, pag gusto niyo ang isa'ng tao, gagawa ka nang paraan para makilala siya. hindi ba?"
"I see. Alam ko na ata ang gusto mo'ng sabihin. Teka."

"Marvee!" Nag aayos si marvee nang mga gamit sa stock room nang biglang sumulpot ang tita niya.
"Bakit po, tita?"
"Halika muna sa labas. May ipapakilala ako sayo."
Para nasira ang araw ni marvee nang makita kung sino nag nasa labas.
"Marvee, this is Alexander. Inaanak ko. Alex, this is Marvee, pamangkin ni Jun."
"Hi Marvee!"
"Hi! Excuse me, pero may ginagawa pa ko. Nice meeting you."
Bago pa siya maka alis ay naharangan na siya ni Alex.
"We just met. and I think ninang wouldn't mind me taking you out.Right, ninang?"
"I won't mind. Go ahead, marv."
"Oh, your ninang doesn't mind. but I do mind. because I dont want to go out with you. Excuse me."
pagkatapos ng araw na yun ay lagi ng kinukulit ni alex si marvee. Na mas ikinabibwisit naman ni marvee. natapos na ang bakasyon at kinailangan na nilang bumalik ng manila. Hindi na sila ulit nagkita pa. Makaraan ang isang taon, umuwi ulit sina Marvee at Ana sa tagbiliran, Naglalakad sila pauwi, galing sila sa store nang tita net nila ng biglang may nagtext kay marvee ng papasok na siya sa bahay.

Napatingin si marvee sa pinsan niya.
"Oh bakit?" tanong ni ana.
"May nagtetext kasi sakin. is alex daw."
"Alex as in Alexander Mendez?"
"I don't know."
"Then find it out!"
Alex who?

"Sya nga ate. Binigay daw ni Mark yung number ko."
"At bakit naman gagawin ni mark yun?bibigyan niya ng ka kompetensya yung sarili niya?"
"Ewan ko. Hindi ko na ngalang sasagutin. Bahala siya sa buhay niya."
At hindi nga niya itinext pa ulit si Alex. Nagulat nalang siya pag dating ng gabi na may dumating na load sakanya. Sino naman kaya ang magpapaload sa kanya? Biglang tumawag si Alex.
"Oh, ayan na ang sagot sa tanong mo." Sinagot niya ang tawag.
Hello?

Na receive mo ang load?

Oo. ikaw yung nag load sakin? bakit?

oo. hindi kana kasi nag reply. baka wala ka nang load kaya nagnakaw ako ng load sa bakery.

ano? ninakaw mo lang to?
Narinig niya ang tawa ni alex sa kabilang linya,

Binibiro lang kita.
Napangiti siya.
Salamat.

Ano'ng sabi mo?

Sabi ko, Salamat sa load. Pero may load naman ako. ibabalik ko nalang.

Ang sarap pala nang feeling na pinapasalamatan ka ng tao'ng gusto mo no? Sayo na yan.

Hanggang sumapit ang hating gabi ay magkausap pa rin sila ni alex.
Marvee, pwede mag tanong?

Ano yun?

Hindi kana galit sakin?

Hindi naman talaga ako galit sayo eh. naiinis lang.

Eh kelan mo ako sasagutin?

Bakit? nanliligaw ka ba?

Oo.

Kelan pa?

Nung 2004 pa.

Pero hindi pa tayo magkakilala nun.

4 years na kitang kilala, marvee.
Natapos na ang pag uusap nila pero hindi pa din maintindihan ni marvee kung pano nangyari na matagal na siyang kilala ni Alex.
