GELO'S POV
"Dude!" ang aking bestfriend na si Eric. "Welcome back! Kelan ka pa nakabalik?"
"Just last week. Well,yeah. Nice to be back." sagot ko sa kanya.
Sinenyasan nito ang waiter na lumapit. Umorder siya ng isang tasang kape. Nasa isang restaurant kami nun around makati.
"I thought you left Philippines for good. How long will you be staying?"
"I don't know yet. You see, Umuwi ako because of a very important matter." saka ako humigop ng kape saka nagpatuloy " My abuela, she wants me to marry Shine."
Napahagalpak ng tawa si Eric.
"Oh crap! Hahahaha! That kid who used to follow you around?"
"Yeah. That's why we're here. We'll meet her." sagot ko.
My abuela wants Shine for me. If I won't hindi ko makukuha ang 60% ng inheritance niya. Sobrang malapit kasi si Shine sa pamilya ko. We used to be close,but after ng nangyari na yun? She didn't talked to me anymore. Hanggang sa umalis na kami ng bansa.
Kung tutuusin, wala naman na akong pakialam sa kanya. But not until today. She became my business now. Sa kanya nakasalalay ang lahat. Because my Abuela? She so damn rich!
The last time I've heard, she's managing her flowershop. So, she's making money on her own. Ano na kaya ang itsura niya? Dati palang ay may angking ganda na ang batang yun. What more ngayon?
Biglang bumukas ang maindoor ng restaurant. Bumungad dito ang isang napakagandang babae, wearing a yellow sunday dress. Her aura was very refreshing. At papalapit ito sa kanila.
Nakita niya kung paano nanlaki ang mata ni Eric. Ako naman ay napatayo sa kinauupuan ng lumapit siya. Hindi ko ata namalayan na napaawang ang bibig ko ngunit walang salita na lumabas.
"Hi! Long time no see." saka ito ngumiti.
God! Ito na ba si Shine? She's a Goddess! And just like what happened on her Prom night, I was stunned. Sa pagngiti nito, pati mata niya ay nakangiti. Her face, I can't gaze away.
"Y-yeah. Please have a seat." sabi ko ng nakabawi.
"Welcome back to the philippines Gelo.I thought I won't see you again." sabi nito.
"That's what I thought,too." pormal na sabi ko.
"You remember Eric?" tukoy ko sa kasama ko.
"Yes. I used to see him at your house before." saka ito ngumiti. Damn those smile.
"Oh my Shine. You're soooo beautiful. Who would have thought na sobra kang gaganda?" puri ni Eric.
"Bakit? Noon ba hindi ako maganda?" pabirong tanong ni Shine kay Eric.
"Maganda kana noon. Pero mas maganda ka ngayon."
"Thank you Eric."
"Oh pano, I need to go. Napadaan lang ako." saka ito tumayo. "Dude, just call me okay?"
"Sige. Talk to you later dude."
