June 5, Tuesday

Irene
8:36 PM 

A relentless knock kept on banging through my ears. I woke up, standing up, I headed to my door and then I opened it.

The remarkable man is standing infront of me.

That very remarkable face and his converse.

"H-Hi!" I greeted, stuttering, "Irene, right? I'm your new neighbor, just to inform you." He says, "Did I disturb you?" He asked.

"Are you sleeping?" he questions me again.

"N-No! I was uh-nakahiga! Nakahiga lang ako." I say, grabe Irene kelan kaba hindi mauutal?

"Did you cry? Maga yung eyes mo." he throws a question again, "N-No, napuwing kasi ako." I say.

"Do you want to go in?"

"Can I go inside?"

Sabay pa naming tanong. My body shakes, medyo malamig na rin yung kamay ko ang my herat is beating faster and faster.

We giggled, at pumasok na sya. Pagka pasok nya ay napatingin sya sa akin then I realized na naka uniform pa pala ako.

"Oh, sorry, wala na akong time mag palit." sabi ko.

He followed me hanggang sa kitchen para kumuha ng food. I opened my refrigirator and then saw what I got.

Oranges

Tubig

Chips

Cereal

Fresh Milk

Yan lang laman ng refrigirator ko.

"Uh, are you hungry?" I ask, sumabay naman yung pagkalam ng sikmura nya.

"My stomach says it all." He responded while smiling in a shy way.

"I'll just let someone deliver food, sorry." I say habang kamot kamot ko yung likod ng ulo ko.

I closed my refrigirator at humarap. At that exact moment, his face and mine were inches away. He was smiling! A smile that melted me at the moment.

"Uh, excuse me." I say acting as if nothing happened.

"I'll order." Sabi nya. I was about to say no pero he's on his phone na.

Our order arrived, and it was...massive.

He ordered a liter of soda, two pints of ice cream, a box of pizza, nachos, fries and carbonara and buffalo wings.

"Woah." 

Yan nalang nasabi ko nang ilapag nya yung food sa coffee table ko sa may living room. 

"Sorry if I asked to go in your unit." He say while unboxing some of the stuff he ordered. "It was raining, then your Tita Martha saw me at the entrance, she told me that her niece is staying here, next to my soon-to-be-unit."

"No, no it's alright, I didn't know na it rained, I was really tired a while ago and lost track of time, baka kasi isipin mo na naistorbo mo ako kaya di ko sinabing kagigising ko lang." I replied, while bringing in some plates and utensils.

"I was worried yesterday that I left you alone in the cafe," he said then he giggled, "That was too inconsiderate." he say, "Ha? Wala yun."

Napatigil ako bigla, if he stayed, I wouldn't have to waste my tears for Chester again, but I can't blame him. No one knows that it will happen. That I'll be seeing Chester again.

"You look pale." Jacob interupts, "H-Ha? Wala yun, sabi ko nga, I got to spend some alone time naman kaya okay lang." I lied. I hate lying, but honestly, okay lang, as I said, no one knows.

We started eating while watching movies. He's such a kind person. Kahit twice pa lang kami nag me-meet. Very considerate. Very remarkable.

"Thank you nga pala sa meal, ha?"
