Thursday 2:15 am
She got out of her car. Swaying, Limping her way to enter a 24/7 convenience store. Struggle to act poised in her denim miniskirt outfit. Keeping her eyes open wide and covering her mouth and swallowing what was about to burst.
She pushed the glass door and looked around. Her eyes stopped its wandering at a coffee machine.
She hurriedly went near, and get herself a medium cup and immediately placed it on the machine. Clearing her eyesight, she presses the medium sign for a brewed coffee.
The staff and crew whispers and talks behind her back. They push each other as they laugh secretly.
She pressed the medium sign again. Raising her eyebrow, almost running out of patience. Presses it again, still, it won't work. Her eyebrows furrowed even more. She tapped the machine harder and shouted.
"ANAK NG TIMAWA NAMAN EH! ANO BA!!!!"
She kept on hitting the machine while the customers are bothered by her murmurings.
"ANO BA TONG MACHINE NIYO SIRA SIRA!"
The crew points finger at each other as to whom who will assist the seemingly drunk lady.
"Ano? Pagtatawanan niyo lang ako?"
She hit the machine once more.
"Hindi niyo ako lalapitan? Sige ayaw niyo ah!!!"
She was about to hit it again when someone grabbed her wrist from behind.
"Tama na! Aayusin ko po, Miss"
She stared at him. All her blurry eyes could see is his dimple, so deep one would want to poke her finger to. A tall, handsome young man as one of the crew suddenly came up to assist her.
She watches his move while the man tries to fix the broken machine.
"Mukang napasobra inom ah?"
He said as he wipes the excess coffee.
Her eyebrow raised and replied in an irritating tone.
"Pakemo?! Epal kadin tulad nila?"
"Eh. kung may hiningalang tong machine siguronaghihingalona to ngayon"
Arms crossed and her faced crumpled.
"Bibigyan mo ako ng kape o tsitsismis ka lang?"
He shakes his head and gave her her coffee.
She sat in the corner. The crew still feasting on the sight of the hot drunk lady.
She tweaks her hair with her hands and massage her forehead.
"Shit! Talo nanaman ako sa dota. Langyayan two weeks straight na ah"
She sips her coffee, but is sensitive to the prying eyes of the crew. She glared at them and mouthed
"Anong problema niyo ah!!!!"
The crew scram sand gets back to their work.
"Mga to, ngayon lang ba sila nakakita ng laseng?" "Ahhhhh!!!! Ang sakit ng ulo ko shemay." She paused and with teary eye she murmured "Raul! Raul! Why? Gago ka inano ba kita?"
She taps her head on the table and suddenly her tears starts to fall.
"Broken hearted nanaman?"
She suddenly heard a familiar voice and when she slowly raised her head up, she saw the tall guy crew sat unwelcome in front of her.
Her face is all covered by her messy hair. Her tears are obvious.
"HINDI AH!!!!"
Wipes her wet eyes abruptly.
"SAKA, sino kaba ah! Tsupe! Hindi na ako o-order ngkape"
He laughs.
"Sigurado ka? Eh mukhang sa lagay natin ngayon parang kailangan mo ata ng tatlong baso pa"
"Ah ganon?"
"OO"
"Eh kung palabasin kita sa salamin nayan ng hindi gumagamit ng kamay?!"
"Grabe siya, bayolente ka parin pala"
"Anongpala? Sinokaba?"
"Lasing na lasing ka oh"
"Pakemoba!!! Saan manager mo? Kausapinko"
"Kasi pag malapit ka sa akin disgrasya abot ko" "Isa pa wala si boss dito"
"ALissabi eh!!!! Sinokaba ha!!!" "trespassing ka na!'
"trespassing?"
"sa moment ko!"
He shakes his head out of his irritation towards her.
"Hindi mo talaga ako naalala?'
She paused and tries to figure out his face through her blurry vision.
"May... mayutangba ako sayo?"
"hindi! anuba!"

"Oh! Oh! Wag kang susuka dito ah!!!" "Hindi mo ako naaalala? Itongmukhang to hinditalaga?"
"hindinga! shabihin mo na kase hilong hilo nake dude"
"Grade five"
"College nako dude hindiako yon?'
"Tsk! hindianoba! Grade five tayo nung una tayong nagkakilala. Nung una mo akong ninakawan ng halik!"
She paused again and looked at his face closely. She leaned back, point her finger at him and laughingly said
"Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha... Zachary???"
He raised his eyebrow, crossed his arms and annoyingly replied.
"akonga, Zhaira"
