Mister & Miss Virtuoso

19: Plan B

One whole week passed at nagpatuloy ang sulatan nila ni Amor at Andrea. Amor is getting information from Andrea herself. Madalas banggitin ni Andrea ang tungkol sa lalaking gusto nya and how she is winning his heart.

Amor knew who the guy is. Chismiss na din jasi sila ni Isaiah at Andrea sa school. Pakiramdam tuloy ni Amor ay wala ng pag-asa yung plano nya na bumalik sa normal ang lahat. The most hurtful part is the fact na wala na pala syang tyansa kay Isaiah kase may Andrea na.

On their latest exchange of letters, niyaya ni Amor si Andrea na lumabas. And she said yes! Kaya ngayon, nasa meeting place na si Amor. Hinihintay na lang nya si Andrea at si Liam.
Nakatuon ang kamay ni Amor sa kaniyang tuhod habang nakaupo sa bench na nasa kahabaan ng Sunken Garden sa University of the Philippines, Diliman. Dahil Sunday, wala masyadong estudyante sa campus. Puro tourist lang ang karamihan.

“Hey, silly. Bakit mo ko pinapunta dito?” Hindi na kailangan ni Amor na tumingala para alamin kung sino yon.

“I’m doing you a favor.”

Tumabi si Liam kay Amor at saka pinanood ang mga tao na nagpapauli-uli at naglalakad sa garden.

“Seryoso. Bakit mo ako pinapunta dito?” Seryosong tanong ni Liam.

“This had been my plan. Nandito ka as the Lonely Man guy na ka pen pal ni Andrea.”

“What?!”

“Di mo narinig?” She said sarcastically.

“Joke ba yan? Anong sasabihin ko sa kanya?? Ano bang pinaguusapan nyo sa sulat? Bakit bigla mo na lang sineset yan?”

“Ah, basta. Pag nagsuccess to, we no longer need to bother each other. We will go back to the way we used to be. Just strangers.”

Lumingon si Amor kay Liam at tumingin sa mata nya ng direkta. Suddenly, the staring competition became awkward for Amor kaya tumingin sya sa malayo. That was when she noticed the familiar figure of Andrea.

“Andyan na sya!” she announced with wide eye.

Sinundan ni Liam ang tingin ni Amor and she was right. Naroon si Andrea wearing a floral dress, nude sandals, a sling bag and there's a phone in her hand. Andrea was looking at all sides, searching for something, or someone rather.

"Hide!!" Bulong-sigaw ni Amor. Hinila nya si Liam papunta sa likod ng malaking puno.

"Bakit? Bakit kailangan magtago?"

"Pagnakita tayo ni Andrea na magkasama, lalo lang masisira yung plano." Amor stated the obvious consequences.

Both of them observed Andrea and she really seem to meet someone.

Humarap si Amor kay Liam at tumingin sa mata nito.

"Listen to me. Pupunta at lalapit ka kay Andrea at magpapakilala kang "Lonely Man", ikaw yung naghuhulog ng letters sa locker nya every end of the class hour. Galingan mo na lang mag adlib."

"What the hell?? Anong sasabihin ko?!"

"Ikaw na ang bahala! I already arrange this meeting for you. Tapusin na lang natin to ngayon."

"Ayoko! Ikaw dapat ang umaayos nito diba?!" Pagmamatigas ni Liam.

"Sige na! Lumakad ka na!" Amor pushed him out of where they were hiding. Nagtitingin ang mga tao na nakakakita sa kanila. "Go!! Move!!" She mouthed habang tinataboy si Liam palayo.

"Anong sasabihin ko?!" He respond with the same tone.

"Ikaw nang bahala! Diskarte mo na yan!!"

Tumingin muna ng masama si Liam kay Amor. Then he took a deep breath, he turn around, took a step forward but halted when he saw an eye-sore situation.
