"I know you're that guy."
Nakilala niya ako! Anong gagawin ko?! Isip Kale!
"Ahhhm, w-what? what 'that guy' miss? M-maybe you were ano. you were m-mistaken. Oo you're mistaken." Sabay tingin sa ibang dereksyon at sabay inom ko sa kape. Relax, Kale. Baka mahalata ka!
"So, you think nagkakamali ako ng inupuan, tama ba? Pft! Lame excuse mister. Don't belittle me. You don't know what I can even do." Then, she smirk. Nakakatakot tong babaeng to.
"Actually miss I, ano ahh hindi ko talaga alam pinagsasabi-"
"Kale? Kale de Silva? Is that you?" Someone interrupted. Buti nalang. It lessen the tention. damn.
"Y-yes? I'm Kale. And you are?"
"Really?? You can't recognize me now huh Kale? Ang sama mo." Nanghahampas pa tong babaeng to. Sino nga ba to?
"Okay. Sige. I guess, you really don't know me right now. It's me. Dianne Stefan." She smile towards me and even offer her hands. Gusto ata makipagshake hands. Oh wait! Dianne... Dianne ... Ah huh! I know her! I remembered!
"Dianne! Hey! Long time no see!" I accepted her hands for the shake hands ofcourse. Haha. "God! You look great! No wonder I can't recognize you. You've change a lot. Nagkita naba kayo ni Yna? I'm sure miss kana nung bestfriend mong yun." My sister Yna and Dianne are bestfriends. Kapitbahay namin dati si Dianne nung nasa probinsya pa kami nakatira. Pero after nung nakapag ipon-ipon na si Papa sa abroad, lumipat na kami dito sa Manila. Nakabili si Papa ng lupa, pinatayuan ng bahay, nagkaroon ng negosyo at pinamanage kay Mama at syempre, tumutulong din ako. Di kase maiwan ni Papa yung trabaho niya abroad kaya ofw pa din si Papa.
"Actually, magkikita dapat kami eh. Kaya lang, may gagawin pa daw silang group project kaya dumaan muna ako dito kase nagutom ako eh hehe."
I was about to answer ng may biglang ..
"Ehem!" Shocks! Nakalimutan kong may kasama nga pala akong babae dito sa table ko.
"Oh. You're with someone.Who is she Kale?"
Bago pa man ako makasagot, biglang tumayo yung babae. Ang angas pa ng dating tapos biglang ngumiti ng matamis at nag offer ng kamay kay Dianne. She's going to introduce herself to Dianne?
"Hi! I'm Reigna Price. You can call me Reign." Dianne was shock and so am I. Ibang-iba yung aura niya ngayon kesa kanina. Kung kanina nakakatakot siya, ngayon naman, nakakaakit. Ang ganda niya lalo na't nakangiti.
"Oh. Nice to meet you Reign. Ahhh sige. maiwan ko muna kayo. Order lang ako. Chat na lang kita mamaya Kale." Dianne waved at us and I did the same pati din tong babaeng kasama ko.
"Lets get back to business. You're Kale right? Okay. We have to talk pero hindi dito. Let's look for another place. Yung wala masyadong tao. Let's go." Tatayo na sana siya ng pigilan ko siya. Hinawakan ko siya sa kamay. Mukhang nagulat pa siya kaya napabitaw agad ako.
"A-ano bang pinagsasabi mo Miss? Reigna right? Look Reigna I didn't mean to saw what I saw earlier. I thought someone got bullied kaya tinignan ko kung saan nanggagaling yung ingay kanina. Sorry if I interrupted. Pero don't worry. I won't tell anyone."
"You really think I will let you go ng ganun lang kadali? I told you, call me Reign. Not Reigna. Argh! So can you please come with me so we can talk already? I'll assure you, I won't hurt you. Actually, I have a deal with you."
"Deal? What kind of deal?"
Ano ba tong napasukan mo Kale?!
Maya-maya may pumasok dito sa coffee shop na limang lalaking naka suit at naka shades. Parang may hinahanap. Napatingin ako sa babaeng nasa harap ko. Nakamask na black at eye glasses na sya. Sinuot nya din ulit yung hood ng jacket niya.
"Kung ayaw mong manganib ang buhay mo, sumama ka na saken. Hali ka na bilis!" Pabulong niyang sabi sabay hawak sa kamay ko.
"Act naturally Kale wag kang manigas dyan. Act like we're a couple." Ikinawit niya ang kanyang kamay sa braso ko. Okay. Whats happening? Maya maya pay may biglang sumigaw. Isa yata sa mga lalaking naka black suit kanina.
"Ayun siya!"
"Kale, takbo!"
Ano bang nangyayari???
