It was past dinner time na kaya nagyaya na rin na umalis si Nikkoi because of their gig.
"What's that gig ba?" Curious kong tanong sakaniya while we were walking out of the coffee shop.
Natawa siya, "Di mo talaga alam, no?"
"If I knew, I won't ask you. Duh."
"Malalaman mo rin. Next time na magkita tayo." Sabi niya sa'kin.
"Who told you that we're going to meet again?" Sabi ko nung nasa exit na kami ng mall. We were about to part ways, kasi may taxi na ako.
"Yung libro ko ibabalik mo pa. Duh." Sabi niya imitating my voice. I rolled my eyes and waved goodbye, and he did the same tapos umalis na.
It's been a few days since our meetup, and since that, we were talking nonstop via texts and sometimes call.
Paminsan video call tapos kahit di kami magsalita, sabay lang kaming nagbabasa ng libro. Tahimik pero alam mo' yun? Yung parang nandun talaga siya sa tabi mo. Wala kasi akong mahanap na tao that has the same interest as me.
Weeks after, parang naging routine na namin na kahit once a week we'll go to the same bookstore we met, even art museums kung di siya busy or just a simple coffee shop.
After days, weeks and months... I started to like him.
More than a friend.
Kapag may gig siya and di siya makakatext or call so I just stare at all the photos I secretly took sometimes when we go out. I didn't had the chance to ask him about the gigs he rambled on about pag busy siya, but it didn't bother me anymore. Maybe he just doesn't want to tell me yet.
Ngayon kakatext lang niya sa'kin. Magkita raw kami sa isang bar sa Katipunan, he also texted me the address. It was very random. Tapos bar pa? When was he the bar type?
