Basically: Strange But Sweet Love Story

YAEL'S PERSPECTIVE

I woke with a start. Wow, what time is it? 7am, aga pa pede pa magrun. Sige nga, para masaya ang morning at magreflect ang happiness the whole day, I'll run. Maybe at least mga 30 mins. man lang. And so I put on my running weapons and jog. Morning breeze is really refreshing.

After I run (45 mins. run, medyo sinipag ako eh), I ate breakfast. It's sunday, I want to visit my parents’ house. After breakfast nagpahinga muna ko sandali. I visit twitter. Hmmm, same old same old. Oopss, may message. I click it and boom, a reply from last night birthday message. I straighten up, excited to read the reply. Buti nagreply sya. It says "Hi Yael, of course I still remember you. Thanks for the greetings, 2x mo na ko grineet. Sayang you didn't able to go to my party. Maybe next time you'll come na. I didn't have contact sa'yo eh, just twitter. Thanks again. See you soon in our Tagaytay trip ;)"

See you soon...see me soon. Oh, yeah sure...sooner than soon. Reply Yael, reply. "Oo nga, I didn't know you will be having a party. Next time I'll be there promise. Just call me and I'll be there."

 

You're going nuts Yael. Better prepare na, I have to be home at lunch.

And so I did. After I took a bath, I visit my twitter again. Woohoo, a reply from her again. "You promise ha. Don't break it. Have a good day ;)"

"Just call me, anytime (basta walang gig)."

"Does twitter have a special video call message? haha" she reply in an instant. She's online now.

"I don't think they have. Speaking of contacts, do you mind if I get your number? Just so I can text you and you can text me for the next party (sorry for the informality)"

"Haha, I remember you said that I can call you for shortcuts whenever it's traffic but I don't have your number too. Well anyways, here's my # 09***032114"

"Oh thanks, text you later. And yes, you can call me anytime for some road tips."

"Thanks as well. Gonna wait for your text :)"

"Have a good day!"

"You too"

Ahm, ano pa ba pede ireply? Wait, let's check her tweets (stalker mode?) The latest tweets was just a minute old *preparing for ASAP prod. Later guys :)*

Oo nga pala, she has ASAP today. Wag ko muna guluhin, next time na lang. Ring, ring.

"Kuya, you'll come today?" Ysab snapped as I answer her call.

"Yeah."

"Oh great. But where are you na?"

"Preparing na."

"Hurry ah."

"It's too early for lunch Ysabel, may lakad ka ba?"

"Wala naman. Just excited to see you."

"Weh? Really?"

"Ewan ko sayo kuya. Come na ah, kuya Yan's on their way na rin."

"Ok ok, sige bye."

"Bye."

That's so sweet. Glad to have a her as my sister. Sana Yasmin was here too. Aw, don't wanna be in a sad mood today. I know my sister's in a safer place now.

"You look happy Yael."

"I'm always happy Ma," I said as we sat in our dining table. Yey, we're complete. My kuya was also here along with her wife and only daughter.

"Blooming ka kuya. You're aura is very different."

"Tssss. I'm always pogi naman diba?"

"It's all in the blood." Kuya Yan said with pride. Sometimes, angst is all we need.

"That's enough, let's eat." My dad offered.

"Kuya, wala pa bang bago?"

"Huh?"

"Woo! Wari ka pa, wala bang bagong girl?"

"Wala pa naman." Deny muna.

"I don't believe you," Ysab said between mouthfuls. "You really have this aura that I've never seen even before, right Mom."

"Whatever or whoever it is, it has a good effect on you son."

"Ma."

"If you're happy, go on. Wait, is it a girl?"

"Mom..." ang hirap magsinungaling sa nanay ko ah. "...I'll tell at the right time."

"Confirmed," Ysab almost shouted. "Yiiie, sino kuya? Who's the girl?" All eyes are on me now. "Is she beautiful? Do we know her?"

Wala na kong lusot. "Yes, she's beautiful. Maybe you know her but..."

"But but but Bro?"

"She's just a friend..."

"...pa lang..." Ysab continued my sentence "...who knows what will happen next."

"She's a new found friend and it's too early."

Can't believe I'm talking about her in front of my family. Gosh, hot seat.

And the talking continue even after lunch. Good thing they are always supportive to whatever I'm doing.
