As I was saying, kinuha ko na nga yung number nya. Kawawa naman e. Kakapagod pa lang magtaray. I burst out laughing when he sung Call Me Maybe kaya eto, friends na daw kami.

Di pa rin ako makamove on sa pagtawa kaya nahihirapan akong magsalita. Rodney, right? I didn't get mad at you. I'm not that kind of person, it's just a simple thing. Yung kanina, wala yun. Trip ko lang di ka pansinin.

Ah. Ganun pala ha. Pinakanta mo pa ako. Ganyan ka. Sa susunod ikaw naman kakanta para mapatawad ko. Aba. Lokong to ah. Kung makapagsalita komportableng komportable.

Did I hear it right? Ako, papatawarin mo? Ha-ha. As if gagawa ako ng masama. Asar ka din e, no? Tinawanan nya lang ako kasi ang ganda ko daw maasar. Matagal na kaya.

Sabi ko nga. Chill ka lang, miss. Wait. Ano nga pala pangalan mo? Oo nga no. Di pa pala ako nakakapagpakilala.

Marlene Fernandez. How about you?

Rodney Isaac Adams. Parang foreign yung apelido. Pati pangalan. Actually, muka din naman syang may lahi. He got the looks. Perfect jaw line. Dark brown eyes. Long eye lashes. Fair complexion. Almost perfect body built. How I wish I have romantic bones. Haha.

Adams. Hmmm. Foreigner? Tanong ko sa kanya para naman di mapanis laway ko dito. Di pa kasi umaakyat yung prof namin.

My Dad is half American, half Spanish. And my Mom is purely Italian. Woah. May lahi nga. Kaya pala muka syang dyos ng kung ano. He is almost perfect physically. Wala man lang kahit konting dugo ng Pilipino.

How long have you been here in the Philippines? Medyo nagiging komportable ako kaya madaldal na ako.

8 years. I live alone, actually. My foster father said that he found me in a basket in Italy where he used to work. He looked for my parents, and voila! When my biological father knew about me living in this world, he got mad. He even paid my foster father half a million euro just to keep me away from him. While my biological mother was at a mental institution that time, so my foster family was left with no choice but to keep me. Damang dama ko ang lungkot at galit sa mga mata nya. He is trying to smile, but I know he is hurt deep inside. I wanna comfort him. But I don't know how.

I'm sorry. Wala akong mapiling salita. Wala akong maisip. Naaawa ako sa kanya.

It's okay. Past is past diba? Ayos na yun. Friends na tayo ha. Ikaw pinakaunang nakaalam nyang ibang tao. Please, wag kang maawa sakin. He is broken so hard.

Okay. I managed to smile. You can count on me. I got my new friend. Sana magwork. It is my first time na magkaroon ng lalaking kaibigan after that incident.
