Hours passed.
Nakatulog pala ako.
No phone call from Margaux.
(hmm.. bakit ganun?)
Sinilip ko ang alarm clock ko by the bedside.
11:58 PM.
Grabe siya di talaga tumawag?
Ano kaya ang nangyari?
2 minutes passed kakaisip ko, nagdecide akong idial na ang number nya.
TOOOT! TOOOOT! TOOOOOOT!
(busy tone.)
(may kausap na iba??)
(aba naman!)
Ni try ko ulit.
TOOOT! TOOOOOT! TOOOOOT! TOOOOT!
(Busy talaga.)
(pero may call waiting function sila sa pagkaka alam ko.)
I checked the time.
12:03 AM.
RRRRIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!!!
Mabilis kong dinampot ang handset."Hello?" sagot ko sa phone.
"Bakit busy ang phone mo? sino kausap mo at this time? hmmm?" magkakasunod na tanong ng babae sa kabilang linya.
"I was calling you! I was about to ask the same!" sagot ko.
Saglit na katahimikan at tanging malalalim napaghinga nya ang narinig ko sa kabilang linya.
"Sorry love ko, i was just surprised na busy tone ang phone at this hour." wika nito.
(Yep. Si Margaux ang tumawag.)
"And I am surprised na di ka tumawag ng 9PM as usual. Nakatulog na ako kakahintay." reklamo ko.
"Well.. I did it on purpose.." wika nya.
"On purpose?" naiinis kong sagot.
"Yeah.. I just want to greet you Happy Valentines day at exactly 12:00. Kaso instead na maging sweet mukhang nagtalo pa tayo e." tampong wika nito.
(Ayun pala ang peg nya..)
"Well.. thank you.. funny I was about to do the same!" segue ko.
"So like, baka kaya busy tone kasi I was dialing your number at the same time na you were dialing mine?" ask nito.
"Ganun na nga siguro ang nangyari." tugon ko.
"Petty things. I'm really sorry love."
"Happy valentines day!" bati nito in a lovely tone of voice.
"Happy Valentines day my love.." husky toned kong tugon.
"I love it when you sound like that... lalaking lalaki.." malandi nyang wika.
"Well. You realized na hindi lang boses ko ang lalaking lalaki di ba?" naughty kong ask.
"I know love ko.. haha.." malanding tawa nito.
"So.. susunduin mo ako bukas di ba?" ask ko.
"Yeah. why? ayaw mo?" ask nito.
"Gusto siyempre.."
"May surprise ako sa iyo bukas." wika ko.
"Talaga?" excited nitong ask.
"yeah.."matipid kong tugon.
