Divine Intervention

II

"Wake up Nami! Breakfast is ready!"

I did not open my eyes. Instead, I get my pillow and put it on my face.

And because of that kiniliti nya ko ng kiniliti.

"Otou-san! Stop it." I said followed by a series of giggles.

Then, I woke up. "What a wonderful dream." I sighed. "I miss you otou-san."

I just fix my bed and went downstairs.

"Just on time, my princess." onii-san said.

After we ate our breakfast...

"Mauna na ko dun okaa-san ha?"

"Oh! Onii-san, san ka pupunta? May mass tayo ng 9AM di ba?" I said.

"Of course Nami. Di ko makakalimutan yun. May meeting lang ako sa mga sacristans ko."

"Aaaaaaah." yun na lang nasabi ko.

Then onii-san kissed me, okaa-san and Nanny.

I get myself ready for later's mass. I just wear T-shirt, pants and slippers.

"Nami! What are you wearing?" okaa-san scolded me.

"Eeeee. Like what otou-san always said, simplicity is beauty!"

"Hay nako! Palitan mo na lang yang tsinelas mo! Wear your doll shoes!"

Naaah. Slippers are more comfortable. I guess I have no choice. I just changed my footwear and we already went in Saint Joseph Parish.

We're just on time! When we got there, kakatapos lang nung misa.

Okaa-san, Nanny and me sat on our usual spot. It is located at the left side, pangatlo sa unahan.

"Oh! Atsushi! Ngayon lang natapos yung meeting?" okaa-san asked.

"Di po. Medyo kanina pa. Nakipagkwentuhan lang po ako sa mga co-sacristans ko." then, onii-san sat beside me.

"Namiss mo siguro sila nu?" I asked.

"Yes Nami! Super!"

The commentator spoke up and we stay quiet. Then, we stand up already para sa entrance ng pari.

OMG! That's the guy yesterday who's wearing eyeglasses! I wanted to ask onii-san who that guy is. Kaso, I can't. No, I won't pala.

I erased the thoughts that might be a hindrance for me in listening on the mass.

Thankfully, it was successful. I finally understand the mass well. Well, unlike yesterday night. Sila Rey kasi!

After mass, I looked at Mr. Unknown. (Well, yun muna pangalan nya sakin.) He's looking at me too!

We awkwardly looked away again.

Hm... Maybe it's just a luck. And maybe, I'm starting to like him. Wait.... WHAT!? Already!?

Pero, it's alright lang naman to have a crush on him. Right?

Well, I will not tell this to onii-san. He might tease me kaya. Yung mga crushes ko kasi, di nya naman mga close. Of course! Karamihan kasi mga artista. Yung 2 naman sa school.

Pero, I really want to ask onii-san kung ano pangalan nya. Maybe, I could stalk the guy na lang! For sure, friend sya ni onii-san sa Facebook! And maybe they follow each other pa nga on Twitter and Instagram!

I am so happy kasi they've decided na sa bahay na lang mag lunch. This means, aalamin ko na ang pangalan ni Mr. Unknown! Well, sana mahanap ko.

When we got home, I immediately went to my room, open my laptop and sign in on my Facebook account.

I was about to click on onii-san's Facebook account kaso Leslie sent me a message.

Leslie: Buti na lang you're online! Let's buy na raw the ingredients sabi ni Denden.

Me: Now?

Leslie: Yes. Baka raw kasi matambakan tayo ng assignments sa Monday-Thursday.

Me: Yeah. Right. Mas maganda na yung maaga. What time?

Leslie: Now na! Then, sa labas na rin daw tayo maglunch.

Me: Seriously?

Leslie: Yep. Dadaanan ko lang si Rey then pupunta na kami kela Denden.

Me: Alright. Punta na ko kela Denden. See ya!

Leslie: Sige girl! See ya!

Then nag log out na sya. Nag log out na rin ako.

Hays... Sayang naman! Ngayon ko na sana malalaman yung pangalan ni Mr. Unknown e!

I just get a bag and put the things I might need and already went downstairs.

I just tell okaa-san na we already have to buy the ingredients para sa baking namin sa Friday. And tell her na rin na sa labas na ko maglulunch.

We went at the mall and since it's already lunch time, we already head to our favorite fastfood chain — KFC!!

After we eat, papunta na kami sa Supermarket as I saw Mr. Unknown! And he's with.... Rose Marie Cruz!?

Rose Marie Cruz is our school mate. We're already in 4th year high school while she's in her 2nd year.

I knew her because our school only have 30 students per level and contains only 1 section. The school also have a bulletin board that contains top 5 students in each level every quarter. She's a consecutive top 3 since she was in her 1st year. That's why I know her.

As they get closer, Mr. Unknown's eyes and mine met once again.

Denden, Leslie, Rey and me smiled at Rose Marie when she's just a foot away from us. And she also smiled back at us.

"Yun yung sacristan di ba?" Denden asked nang nakalagpas na kami sa kanila.

"Absolutely." I said.

"Bakit nya kasama si Rose Marie?" Leslie asked.

"Maybe they were magpinsan. Magkaibigan... Or maybe she's his brother." Rey said.

What a small world! I know na! I think it would be easier if I will check Rose Marie's Facebook account.

"Or maybe, they're in a relationship!" Denden added.

"That can't be!" I didn't notice that I said that loud.

"Hm... You like him?" Leslie teased.

"Of course not! It's just that, Rose Marie is too young for that Mr. Unknown."

"Mr. Unknown, eh?" Rey said in a teasing tone.

"Yun lang yung tawag ko kasi we don't know his name."

"That's enough Trisha. It looks like you found your new crush." Denden said.

"Huh? What do you mean?" I asked.

"I just noticed na lagi kayong nagkakatinginan. Then, the two of you would awkwardly look away." Denden explained.

"Lagi?" Rey asked.

"Oo nga! Lagi ka dyan? Eh kahapon ko lang naman sya nakita." I protested.

"Okay. Fine! Hindi lagi. Three times ko lang nakita. Dalawa kahapon sa simbahan tapos yung kanina." Denden said.

"So, crush mo nga?" Leslie asked.

"Hindi ah! Mga baliw talaga kayo!"

I can't tell them. Kahapon ko lang nakita tapos crush ko agad? Well, why not? Basta no muna. I will tell them na lang if I'm really sure na crush ko nga.

Nah. I'm insane! (-_-)
