Maybe You & I

I wanted to make the story indecent. So I was thinking of making Dan an asshole and bastard, okay excuse the word. And maybe make Allie the victim of sexual abuse. But I do not want to cross that line. I wanted Dan to be workaholic and driven young man but I want him to be kind too. And I want Allie to be innocent and young but mature enough to know what is right or wrong. I am actually writing this strory with my foster son in mind. He is like Dan, kind, workaholic and suplado who would rather work on his business than spending time on socialization. Allie is like his girlfriend, young and mature. Kulot pa. To JF and MCEG, this one is dedicated to you. Same age gap, different circustances but the same fate.

Daddy and Mom arrived early morning. I wanted to tell them about Dan but decided against it. Maybe I will just invite him to my birthday. We decided not to tell my family about our 'relationship" anymore. Baka magalit lang talaga si Dad sa kanya and baka nga kasuhan siya. Dan promised me that he will talk to his family and relatives that they should not tell anyone about us. That being settled, well....semi settled. Why the hell did i tell him that he should marry me when I turn 18? But that is just the right thing to do right? HINDI! Hindi dapat ganun Allie. Bakit mo ba nasabi sabi  yun sa Dannyng yun. PEro ang malaking katanungan is... bakit siya pumayag? Hay naku.

Teka...ano pala ang schedule ko ngayon? Sabi ng agent ko free ako ngayon. Pero kailangan kong magpasa ng paper ko sa Physics and Calculus. Aaaargggg. Kailan pala yung Calculus ko ipapasa? Hmmmmm nasan na yung sched ko. Wait, oh no....sa Friday na? Ang dami pa naman nung gustong ipa solve nung Teacher namin. Oh no!!!! Grade 10 ang hirap mo naman.

AFTER 6 HRS

Thank God I'm done with Physics. Hmmm sino kaya ang tutulong sa akin sa calculus?

Eden. Oo nga siya.

"Hello?"

"Eden?"

"Ah wait lang sino to? Nasa banyo kasi siya wait lang."

....

"Hello?"

"Eden..please help."

"Huwag mong sabihing Calculus at kanina pa ako nasisiraan ng utak dito. iisa pa lang ang nasasagutan ko. Pumayag na nga akong makipag date kay Norman na kapitbahay namin para siya ang gumawa ng paper ko eh."

"Pahiram pag tapos mo na."

"Oo kung maibigay niya agad tonight. Si Digna naghahanap na din ng tutulong sa kanya eh."

"Haynaku naman. Sige i try ko na lang sagutan ito. Sigurado ka ba jan sa Norman na kapitbahay niyo?"

"Gusto lang niya samahan ko siya sa awarding sa school nila. At oo sigurado ako kasi nananalo na din siya ng mga international and national Math competitions. Kaya okay na yan. Kaya na niya. DOn't worry ipapahiram ko sa iyo pag binigay niya tonight."

"Okay. Thanks Girl."

Think Nathalie?

Bakit kasi kailangan umalis nina Mom ngayon pa? Pag dating nila nagpalit lang sila and they went to Cebu to attend the inauguration of another restaurant ng family. Bakit kasi magaling naman ako sa Math kaso absent ako nung nagturo sila ng calculus. Hahaha my ass Allie. Hindi ka lang talaga nagaaral lately. Puro pageant ang iniisip ngayon dadagdag din si Dan. Dan! Oo nga tama matalino yun di ba? Text ko nga siya

"Hello"

DANIEL

I am in the middle of a meeting with the top executives of the company when my phone placed in front of me lit and buzzed. I looked at the weary expressions of the top ranking men in my company. Natatawa ako, pagod na sila. Palibhasa hindi sila sanay magtrabaho ng magdamagan. Gusto ko nga silang pauwiin mamayang madaling araw eh. Most of them are already in their fourties. Trip ko lang manginis minsan. Minsan kasi tong mga executives na to minsan mga tamad.

Bzzzt! Bzzzt!

Sino ba tong kanina pa tawag ng tawag?

Mr. Francisco was talking about his department when I answered the phone call.

"Yup?"

"Dan...I have a problem."

Si Miss Universe pala eh.

"Yes Allie ano problema mo?"

Everyone stopped and looked in my direction. Sinenyasan ko sila na ipagpatuloy lang ang meeting. Pero alam ko na nakikinig sila sa usapan namin sa phone altho' hindi nila alam kung sino kausap ko.

"Dan, di ba business ka?"

"Ok, Ano ang problema?"

"I need my paper in Calculus be answered."

"Hmmm you want me to answer it? When do you need it?"

"Friday."

"Where are you?"

"House."

"Bukas. Are you free?"

"Yes. When are you going home ba?"

"Hindi ko pa alam kasi may meeting pa ako. Baka bukas na matatapos ito"

I looked at the executives in the room and I saw most of them rolled their eys at yung iba parang gusto umalma. Probably may date sa mga kolehiyala nilang mga girlfriends. Para mas lalo silang mainis

"Sige baby, I'll call you when I get home. I love you."

I put down the phone and I heard her protesting from the other part . I smiled to myself
