He knocked through her door thrice but no one answered.
Baka tulog pa, he thought.
An hour later he knocked again.
"Sino yan?", he smiled after hearing her voice again. It was just so melodious and sweet it melts his heart.
"Tans"
"Tans? Sinong Tans?"
"Boom TarataTans, Bomm TarataTans. TaraTans, TaraTans, Boom! Boom! Boom!"
He waited for her laugh. But to no avail then he remembered how he laughed so hard after reading this joke online.
"Hindi ba nakakatawa?", he sighed.
"Hindi"
He turned then saw Mr.Jani shaking his head.

Later that night he called her mom.
Richard, Ana-
Ma. Naknak.
Ha? Uh. Who's there?
Tans
Tans who?
Boom TarataTans Boom TarataTans, TaraTans TaraTans, boom! Boom! Boom!
Her mother hung up but before that he heard his dad laughing so hard on the background.

Unbeknownst to him, there is a girl next door who's still smiling wide as she remembered a piece of joke coming from the guy next to her unit.
