Liah's POV
"Ingat, tita! Enjoy!" I wave habang papasok siya sa kotse niya.
"Anong gusto mong dinner?" Tanong ni Rye.
"Gusto ko mala-restaurant. Ikaw na bahala."
"Yun lang pala eh," yabang naman neto.
"Should I watch you do it or what?" tanong ko.
"I suggest mag-netflix ka nalang diyan, tutal alam ko namang mas gusto mo yun."
I made a gun finger and pointed at him, "You know me too well."
I clicked on the Netflix icon and searched for some movies, and there I ended up watching Nicholas Sparks' sweet flicks.
"All of these sweet flicks
messing up our minds;
They aren't made of red roses
nor are they made with butterflies
They're made with onions
that made make us all teary-eyed
Makes us become who we are,
but we ought to pay the price."
"Woah, ang dramatic naman ng pinapanood mo," Rye comes barging. "Don't come crying at my couch ha."
"Dami mong alam," I annoyed him. "Pahingi ng pagkain!"
"Oh eto na," Abot niya ng spaghetti and fried chicken.
"Made with love." Sabi niya sabay ngiti.
Ba't ang pogi mong nilalang ka ha? Sakin ka nalang.
"Ano yun?" tanong niya.
Shit. Di ko namalayang malakas pala yung pagsabi ko nun.
"A-ah. Sakin nalang yung a-ano, yung pagkain." Palusot ko.
"You're so adorable. Tara kain na." sagot niya pa.
Usually, kapag kumakain ako, sa pagkain lang talaga concentrated yung attention ko. Pero bakit iba ngayon? Why can't I stop staring at you, Rye? What is this feeling?
"Kumain ka na. Pinaghirapan ko yan." sabi niya, nahuli ata akong naka-titig.
"Oo naman, eto na. Kakain na nga." sabi ko sabay kain. "TANGINA!"
"Huh? Anong nangyari?" nabulunan si Rye dahil sa pag-mumura ko.
"Ang sarap!" sigaw ko.
"Tinakot mo pa ko, kulit mo talaga." sabi niya sabay pisil sa pisngi ko.
"I didn't know you were such a good cook. Kelan pa?" tanong ko.
"Matagal na rin. Syempre, when you grow up an only child, you also grow up to independent." sagot niya.
"So, ako hindi? Ganun?" asar.
"Don't worry. You're stuck with me. Matututo ka rin." sabi niya sabay kindat.
We laughed and chatted for a while, pero pagkatapos, umuwi na rin ako.
This day was amazing.
I never in my life imagined that a day like this would ever happen.
But, I guess good things happen when we least expect it.
