Para akong tangang pangiti-ngiti habang naghihintay sa labas ng tapsihan. Medyo malamig kaya naman isinilid ko ang mga kamay sa bulsa ng jacket ko sabay padyak sa lupa. Pinili kong tumayo sa ilalim ng lamp post, malayo sa mga tao pero at least hindi madilim.

Panay ang pagsulyap ko sa mga sasakyang dumaraan, nagbabakasakaling si Jethro na ito.

Makaraan ang ilang sandali, tuluyan kong natanaw ang pagdating ng sasakyan niya kaya naman nagtaas ako ng kamay at kumaway. Hindi ko napigilang mapatalon-talon sa tuwa.

He parked his car and went out with a confused look on his face.

"Jethro!" I called out for him, waving and jumping while smiling uncontrollably. 

I stayed rooted in place as he walked up to me. I bit my lower lip, trying to contain my smile, but to no avail. I ended up giggling like a fool.

Parang nahawa si Jethro sa akin at kahit siya ay napangiti rin hanggang sa mauwi ito sa isang tawa. Lalo rin tuloy akong natawa. 

"Someone looks happy," he said with a smile so beautiful, I could stare at it all day.

"I am." I grinned as I swayed my head from side to side. 

"Mind telling me why?" He chuckled as he squinted his eyes and looked at me from head to toe.

"Bati na kami ni Reika!" I beamed as I jumped up and down, letting my happiness manifest into smiles and giggles.

"Told you she'll come around." he laughed and patted my head lightly. 

I froze in place and jokingly glared. "Hayan ka na naman. Aso ba talaga ang tingin mo sa akin?"

"What? Dogs are the best?" he said, quite defensively. Cute.

"So I'm one of the best?" I grinned and squinted my eyes.

Jethro looked at me flatly. "Can we just get inside so we can eat?"

"You just can't admit that I'm one of the best things in this world, Filimon," I quipped. Pabiro akong humawak sa likuran niya at marahan siyang tinulak patungo sa direksyon ng shop. Patawa-tawa naman siyang nagpadala. Siraulong Gori.

"Libre mo?" tanong niya.

"Yup!" taas-noo kong pagmamalaki sabay talon paakbay sa kanya.

"Hindi ako sanay na good mood ka." He threw his head back as he chuckled.

"Good mood naman ako lagi ah?" Nakunot ang noo ko.

"Well, I guess this is your best mood?" he said in a confused tone.

"I guess?" I smiled and shrugged.

"Well, how about we change it this time?" he scratched the tip of his eyebrows.
