"Are you okay? Relax. Im not gonna bite". Jhane taps my lap while driving. Sabi nya kumain daw muna kami sa resto.

And this ride feels the longest ive been.

Im dying to know how the hell happebn that night after i passed out.

Hindi na ko mapakali sa pwesto ko. Parang sinisilihan na ang pwet ko sa kakaisip. What if nakakahiya ako nun?

"Hey. I said relax". She gently pinch my lap at para akong natauhan doon. I automatically looked at her and gave her a confusing look. "That can wait ok? After nating kumain sasabihin ko sayo ang lahat. Dont think of it that much". She smirks at me.

"Hindi na ko pinatahimik ng mga sinabi mo mula pa kanina sa shop." I crossed my arms and eyed the road.

"Were here. Chill babe. We have all the time tonight. Lets take it slow". saad nito.

Bumaba na kami at sumunod ako sa kanya. Inalalayan nya ako sa paglakad papasok sa isang French cuisine kung saan sya nakapag pareserve ng table. Ika nya pa masarap daw talaga dito.

Pagkaupo namin ay sumenyas sya sa isang waiter para kunin ang menu. Ipinaubaya kona sa kanya ang pag order dahil sya naman ang nakakaalam ng masarap sa menu besides i dont think i can enjoy the food cause i have other things in mind to clear., I just wanted her to spill everything already.

Agad ko nireplyan si Kia ng mabasa ang message nito at ininggit. Sinabi kong dinate ako ng Mystery Savior ko sa mamahaling french resto insert wink emoji then put my phone again at the table.

"Ang tagal naman ng order natin". Sai k0 matapos ag ilang minutong katahimikan.

"Haha. Ok here we go." Napatuwid ako ng upo sa tapat nya ng marinig yon. I indicated a look that yes i am now ready to listen. She seemed to notice so without me uttering a word she begin. "That night im so bored. I decided to try bars ive never been to experience and see how people party to a bar like that tapos iyon that night you happened to be there too".

"Please continue".i beg her.

"When I got inside syempre i drink but the mood doesnt change natatamad padin ako until i saw you,you are very pretty and pretty druk too so i sat beside you for some talks but a few moments later you walked away. I thought maybe it wasnt a good idea afterall." Nag paused na naman sya at uminom ng wine. "I was about to leave when i noticed you again but you were arguing with the boys already I figured out you were not in a good situation so i interrupt and took you from them".

"So ikaw nga talaga yung nagdala sakin sa hotel ? ikaw si Melanie?". Parang di pa ko makapaniwala kaya tinanong ko nalang uli sya. What a coincidence?

"Yep. Ako nga. I took and kept a short video of you cying that night. Its still on my phone ang cute mo doon ". She then raises her iphone in the air. "I kept on watching it everytime im not in tne mood. Ito ang nagpapangiti sakin". Parang batang nagfafantasize na sabi nya. Sumimangot ako sa narinig ko.

"At nakuha mo pa kong ivideo? At ginawa mo pang katatawanan?" I crossed my arms and rolled my eyes trying to act angry kahit deep inside hiyang hiya na ako.

"Hey i never think of it like that. Its just that even just watching you makes my smile." Ngumiti sya at pinilit kunin ang kamay ko sa pagitan ng table. Ibinaling ko ang tingin sa ibang direction showing her na nagtatampo talaga ako."Kaya sabi ko sa sarili ko pag nagkita uli tayo i will never let you go".

Bigla kong naibalik ang tingin sa kanya. Nagtama ang mga mata namin and we are both speechless for a moment. "Until it happened that i saw you again for the second time at the beach". Pagpapatuloy ni Jhane. Melanie or what. I dont know what to call her basta Jee naguguluhan ako.
