"I think... I think I just saw your boyfriend."
Her voice rang through my ears.
Wala akong ibang narinig kundi ang sinabi nya. Alam kong may iba pa syang sinabi pero wala na akong ibang narinig.
"Hey Paige! Nakikinig ka ba?" I glanced at the clock beside me. 8 pm.
"O-o-o-oo..." I managed to utter.
"Ayun nga. Nag-cr ako and paglabas ko, saktong pagpasok nya sa cr ng boys. And in all fairness ha he was such a hottie pala talaga!"
"B-baka naman.. namamalik-mata ka lang?" My palms started to sweat.
Hindi maaari, baka kapareho nya lang sa ibang features.. technically, my boyfriend is a fusion of a lot of actors/actresses back then.
"No.. .. diba blue na may gray ang buhok nya? About 6'1" or 6'2" yata ang height." Rinig ko ang ingay sa kabilang linya.
"Nasa bar ka nanaman ba?" she chuckled.
"Alam ba ni Gabriel yan?"
"I'm with him actually! Ayun nga.. kamukhang kamukha talaga yung nasa portrait mo pero ewan, baka nga namalik-mata lang ako, i'm a bit tipsy na rin kasi hehe." Nakahinga ako ng maluwag sa sinabi nya.
"Oo.. kasi tulog din sya ngayon eh. Kaya it's impossible.. haha."
"Oh baka ngaaa.. anyway i'll have to hang up na.. ingat ka dyan ha!"
"Okay okay.. kayo rin mag-iingat pauwi."
Dial tone.
Sandali akong napaisip sa sinabi ni Vee. Posible nga kayang may kamukha sya in real life?
Subukan ko kayang hanapin yung taong yun tapos ay pakiusapan kong sakyan yung trip ko? Mag-work kaya yon?
Kaso san ko naman sisimulan.. next week na ang party..
Next week.. hindi ko na alam ang mangyayari..
Baka umamin nalang ako..
Ano nang mangyayari saakin after?
Tanggapin pa kaya ako nila Erin? Sila nalang ang meron ako..
Baka.. baka itakwil nila ako..
Punong-puno ng 'baka' ang isip ko.
Baka ganito, baka ganiyan.
But I know when that time comes, I'll have to accept whatever verdict I get.

Maaga akong umalis para pumasok, at nakita ko nanaman yung kotseng nakita ko last friday, nakasabay ko pa nga sa stoplight. I even tried to peep through the windows pero masyadong tinted.
"Good morning people!" nakangiting bati ni Erin saamin.
"What makes you this giddy so early in the morning?" Vee
"Dumating na kasi yung damit na pinagawa ko for your birthday!" automatic na napangiti si Veena sa sinabi ni Erin.
"Ay wow I feel special nagpagawa ka pa talaga hahaha!" Veena
"Yep!" Erin said, popping the 'p'
Nagsimula silang mag-usap sa gaganaping party this Friday evening, hindi rin nagtagal when Veena turned to me and gave me a raised brow.
"Are we still clear about this Friday, Paige?" napalunok ako bago sumagot.
"I'm still convincing him.. Don't worry, I have a hunch I'll win this argument over." I gave her a small smile.
