“We met in an unexpected way.” Sabi ko.
I have to make kwento but damn! Ano ba yong makatotohanan? Nagkabanggaan then boom! Na love at first sight siya sa’kin. Then we talked, exchanged numbers, getting-to-know each other stage, dating then he asked me to be his girlfriend! Then after 1 year? One year? Pwede na ba yun, mahaba na ba ito para pwede na siyang magpropose?! Hmmm… pwede naman siguro kasi nga diba, nalove at first sight siya sa’kin.
Ugh! Ang cliché ng story pero ano ba? I am not a writer, a liar. I am a liar. Char!
“Then?” nakataas kilayng tanong ni Iris. Pansin ko lang ha, ang hilig nila magtaas ng kilay. But y’know what, they’re handsome when they do that.
“We met in a party.” Acis looked intently in my eyes while saying that.
Party? What party? Gaga! He’s making a story so shut up Shane and just listen and memorize every detail na sasabihin niya.
“She was so drunk.”
I was drunk? Like what the eff! But wait, hmmm… I remembered something… I’ll recall baka may maiconnect ako sa story niya. The last time I was drunk was when I learned that Lawrence cheated on me.
“Uh-huh?” reaction ni Iris.
“She was dancing in the dance floor like no one was watching.”
Anoooo? Wait… wait… yeah. Nangyari din yon. But yeah, nevermind.
“Tss. Corny! In short, you met in a bar!” natatawag sabi ni Iris.
“Shut the fuck up, Iris. Akala ko ba curious ka?”
HAHAHAHAHA. Natahimik si Iris don dahil seryoso si Acis. I have never seen him act like this. Well, parang may gusto siyang sabihin sa’kin and gusto niyang itatak ko ito sa isip ko. I will, kasi ganyan ang sasabihin ko kapag may nagtanong.
“Okay. Okay. Hahahah” tinaas pa ni Iris ang mga kamay na animoy sumusuko. “Proceed, then.”
Kulit.
“She was dancing and I was just watching her move and then our eyes met.”
Okay. Okay. Hindi ko alam story maker and teller pala itong si Acis. Pwede siyang writer!
“Pffft.” Si Iris. Hindi naman siya pinansin ni Acis.
“She went near me and kissed me.” ngumisi siya pagkatapos sabihin yon.
WHAAAAAAAAAT THE HELLLLLLLLL?! Nanlaki ang mga mata ko!
“Did you remember that Shanella?”
My jaw dropped. My heart beats so fast.
“Oh it seems that our princess here is quite shocked, parang hindi niya inaasahan na ganun ang nangyari. Is that really true, cousin?” he grinned.
Ang galing naman! Around of applause for Acis. Galing na story maker! Ako talaga nag first move? And wait… there’s something ‘bout what he said. Hmmm… Ewan ko!
“Oh well…” nagsalita na ako matapos makapag-isip-isip. “That was just a kiss for me. But then, someone can’t get over with it so…. ayan! He stalked me.”
Bahagyang nanlaki ang mga mata ni Acis. Oh diba? ano ka ngayon? Pero ngumisi din naman siya agad. Ayan na naman ang ngisi niya!
“Yeah right.” Saad niya.
“Pareho kayong corny!”
Pareho naming nilingon si Iris at sinamaan siya ng tingin. Corny yon? Corny yon?
