FALLING FOR MR. MAYOR (COMPLETED) #Wattys2017

7

So not to bore you, I was thinking of skipping the part where they go to work or go to school. I was thinking of just writing their text conversations or their phone conversations starting in this chapter and the next.

JACOB

Urgh! Sometimes I regret running for Mayor in the city especially with constituents who are afraid of changes. I am so lucky that I have a dependable staff and some city councilors who believe in me. If not for these people the old trapos would have succeeded in unseating me. Yeah, I am too young they say. Now even a college graduate.

"Jacob, kumain ka na? Kanina ka pa ba?"

"Mommy, I just got in. Yes kumain na ako sa City Hall. May conference kasi kami kanina dun eh may pagkain so, kumain na ako. MAliligo lang ako Mom at matutulog na."

"Okay Anak. If you're not the Mayor I would have asked you to take it slow pero, it's your job so I will not interfere with that anak. I am just so glad that you are not abusing yourself. Sige anak. You like milk or something?"

"Mommy, okay lang ako. I'm just tired. Ang daming ginawa sa city hall kanina."

"Okay Anak. I love you."

"I love you Mom."

Kami lang ni Mom sa bahay. My dad has work in the Island (it is where the seat of government is ditto sa bansa. Island lang ang tawag dun kasi nasa island yung mga government offices even the House of the president.) Nung umpisa masyado siyang concern sa akin. She always reminded me na I was just 19 and I need to enjoy life daw. I told her that I can not do what the other teenagers like me do. I had to remind her that I am now a Mayor. Now that I am 20 and on my second year in service, she is starting to loosen up.

1 message received from RUKIA

"I wonder when will you be texting me?"

I dialed her number .....

"Hello Perv."

"So I am still Perv to you?"

"Ichigo is not you, you know."

"What name do you like then except PERV?"

"Hmmmmm how about...."

This girl is really funny. Her voice is so grown up but when she gets excited it rises up a little and she giggles without her realizing it. She tries to sound mature but I could sense she is not more than 20, probably my age or even younger.

"Kulas"

"Bakit Kulas?"

"Wala, maganda di ba? Kulas. Fits you so well."

"Ok. Kulas na kung Kulas. I will call you KULASA"

"HAH? Bakit Kulasa?"

"Asawa ni Kulas."

"Hindi naman tayo mag asawa."

"Kunwari na lang na mag asawa. Di ba nga your secret is my secret. Your goal my goal. Your dream my dream...etc"

"Ganun?"

"Oo."

"So where are you?"

"In bed. Ikaw?"

"We're at a hotel with my family. We travel. Yun lang."

"Swerte mo naman. Pano ang school mo?"

"Big time ang tatay ko eh kaya okay lang na hindi ako pumasok sa school bibigyan na lang ako ng grades hahahahaha"

"Ginagago mo ako eh."

"E kasi ikaw masyado nang personal ang tinatanong mo Mister pero pag ako nagtanong sabi mo off limits ang tanong ko."

"Okay, ganito na lang. Pag uusapan lang natin ang topic na bubuksan natin walang magtatanong ng personal life unless tayo mismo ang mag oopen nang buhay natin."

"You mean we can only talk about my personal life if I'm the one who started talking about it and you can only talk about your personal life if you will be the first to talk about it?"

"Tama"

"Fair enough. Pero teka how about if I ask your favorite color and favorite song etc."

"Hmmmmm pwede mga yun pero not about where do I live, where do I work. "

"What is your favorite color?"

"Grey"

"Hey pareho tayo. I like Grey. I also like yellow."

"So, what would you be in 10 years?"

"Hmmmm married, with children and successful in my career. Ikaw?"

"Hmmmm married, with children and successful in my career."

"Haaay ang daya mo naman, ginaya mo lang ako eh."

"Hahahaha hindi naman. It just so happen ganun din ang gusto kong mangyari in the near future eh."

"Do you have a girlfriend or are you married?"

"Personal...pero dahil ayoko mag lie sa yo. Wala. Wala akong girlfriend, wala din akong asawa."

"Bakit ka walang girlfriend? Wla ka bang nililigawan or gusto man lang?"

"Wala."

"Ay siguro bakla ka. You don't want girls. You want boys."

"Hahahahahahahaha hindi. Sige may asawa na ako."

"Halla di ba siya nagagalit at kinakausap mo ako?"

"Si Kulasa, hindi yun magagalit. Matutuwa pa yun."

"Kulasa?....Ay bruho! Ikaw ang nang gagago sa akin eh. HMP!"

"Di ba si Kulasa ang asawa ni Kulas?"

"Huwag mo ako kausapin."

"Okay sige. Bukas na lang ulit. Matutulog na din ako. Enjoy ka diyan sa vacation niyo. Bye Kulasa, dream of me."

"HMP! BYE!"

"Hahahahahah"

CLICK!

SANDY

Haaaayz, nakakainis hindi ako sineseryoso. Grrrrrr nakakainis talaga.Pero bakit when he said na si Kulasa ang asawa niya kinilig ako ng slight? Slight lang naman. Hehehehe. Teka, bakit kaya palaging nasa bed na siya pag kausap ako at maaga siyang natutulog? Siguro pang umaga ang trabaho niya. Or baka naman security guard siya na pang umaga. He sounded matalino and bossy din minsan kung magsalita/ Baka naman anak ng boss at boss na din siya sa kumpanya ng tatay niya kaya ganun siya magsalita. Eh di ba ang mga ganyang mayayaman marami silang mga babae? Hmmmmm siguro bakla nga siya na nagtatago sa pamilya niya. Siyempre baka naman pag nag come out siya mawawalan na siya ng mana. Ganun ka mag isip Sandy? Haynaku gawin mo na nga yang mga assignments mo at tiyak madami ka pang gagawin sa mga susunod na araw. Bakit kasi ang daming assignments ang binigay ng school sa akin eh.

Ilang taon na kaya si Kulas? Siguro mga 25 or 26. Not bad hindi pa naman siya masyado matanda for me in case na magkita kami. Teka...magkikita ba kami? Eh ayaw niya ng real name eh. Pati picture malamang ayaw din niya magbigay. Teka tanungin ko nga siya bukas. Baka lang naman. Hahahahahaha.
