Dowee: Are you Sunny?

Yusaf: I'm waiting you to accept my message request and glad that you accepted my request today.

Dowee: Where did you find my account?

: Bakit ngayon ka lang?

: Why now?

: You mad?

: You don't want to talk to me, right?

Yusaf: I received your message on my second account that I already opened it when the day I messaged you.

: I'm not mad.

: actually...

Dowee: I need your expectation.

: *explanation typo putek!

: A valid and honest.

: Please, be honest

Yusaf: Can I call you?

Dowee: Why call?

Yusaf: To talk with you and clarify it all to you by talking you like in person.

Dowee: I don't like video calls or voice calls.

Yusaf: Then I'll send a voice message.

Dowee: No, call me na lang para hindi scripted.

Yusaf: Of course, no script holding.

Yusaf is calling...

"He-hello?" Tila nakalulon ng tinik dahil nabubulol ako. Ngayon lamang kami muli nagkausap matapos lumitaw ang pangalan niya sa message request ko, ngayon ko lang in-accept ang request niya dahil sa aking mahaba-habang pagninilay.

"Hello, laal." Halos mapatalon ako nang marinig ko ang boses niya sabay kagat ko pa sa ibabang labi ko. His deep baritone and husky voice giving me a goosebumps right now. And the last word, seems so sweet to hear from him.

"Y-yes?" kabado kong tanong sa kaniya. Waiting for his long explanation. I heard him sighed, even the way he cleared his throat to relax his self first.

I rolled my eyes and giggled like an idiot here on my spot, nakatanglaw sa bintana kahit kadiliman lamang ang nakikita at ang pundidong lamp post na aninag ko pa rin.

"Laal,"

"Hmm?"

"I don't know how to start this, but I am going to explain everything so that you won't doubt me. I want to talk to you like this, talking you like in person. Actually, I'm shocked on your confession I had read. Only thanks is what I replied, because it is that I could say on that night from your long confession. Thanking you because you are honest. I'm not mad, I'm just shocked. I'm sorry because I made you worried for not replying. Also, my cellphone is gone in the next day. I left my phone at the hospital, on the waiting area. My phone is new, I asked my boss tp advance my salary to just buy a new one... to contact you, to say these all," mahabang paliwanag niyang nagpamulat sa akin nang husto. Kaya pala hindi siya nag-reply noon dahil nawala ang cellphone niya. Wala akong napansing kakaiba sa kaniya dahil ni hindi siya nauutal at patigil-tigil, kundi dire-diretso ang kaniyang pagsasalita, na muntik ko pang hindi maintindihan masyado. Para siyang may american accent sa bilis magsalita, at tila nakakahiyang magsalita dahil napaka-fluent niya kaysa sa akin tapos nagpapaturo pa ng ingles mismo sa akin.
