Caela's POV
Nakatunganga lang kami ng bestfriend ko. Dahil sobrang boring na. Pasukan na namin bukas sa college and it seems like 'duh' for us. Mas gusto naming magstay put sa trabaho namin. At yeah, working student kami. We are layout artist. And we'd got an opportunity on a high company.
And now we have no time for bonding. About bonding? Hell, ayoko talaga nito kaya lang mapilit ang bestfriend ko. Si Caleb. He is my childhood friend and is now my best friend. He is such a stubborn but got a little calm. Tama lang naman para sakin. Kaya lang, masungit, not sporty one, at isa pa over-protective yan. Mas matanda sya sakin. Pero one year lang namin.
Well, back to the happening at hand. Hindi ko napansin na nakatitig na pala ako kay Caleb. And trying to escape his gaze.
"Kanina ka pa nakatulala dyan ha, ano bang iniisip mo?" he frowned.
"Wala naman. Tara mag groceries tayo?"
"Weird, Caela." now he gave me a flat look. Kinda regret.
Nakita kong kumuha sya ng magazine sa table.
Parehas kaming napatingin sa bintana when we founnd out that it's raining.
"Just wait here."
Pumunta sya sa kitchen. Kinuha ko nalang yung laptop ko. At binuksan ko ang layout design ko na ginawa ko last night.
"Waaaaaah!" I shouted.
Tumakbo palapit sakin si Caleb.
"What's that?!"
"Sinong nagbago ng layout design ko." I huffed.
Tss. Pinagpuyatan ko to kagabi tapos mag iiba lang? I looked on Caleb. He's doing the same face. Poker face.
Siguro nagulat sya sa sigaw pero darn! Alam kong sya ang nagbago nito wala nang iba.
"Look, Caleb. Are you--"
He nodded.
"I changed it."
"How dare you! Kailan ka pa natutong makialam ng gawa ng iba? No, not my designs, Caleb. Pakialaman mo na lahat wag lang to. Tss. Ano kaba." siguro konti nalang maiiyak na ko dito.
"Don't know why? Look at my design. It's just a plain but as you can see wala syang kahit anong ruffles. No floral, just plain. Pag ganyan, kailangan mo syang ibase sa theme sa kung ibinigay sayo. Got it?"
"Got it? I never never got it. Kasi sinira mo ang designs ko!"
"I never destroy your designs. Look." may binuksan syang isang folder at may mga picture dun. "This is your design." I felt relief. "But compare it."
Dream come true. That's the theme that company gave me. And truthfully mas aayon nga yung design ni Caleb kaysa sakin.
"Wait.." tumakbo sya sa kusina at saka bumalik sakin. "Dream come true is your title. Think about it and question yourself. Is it about love that come true or a profession or about a family? To get the answer, gawin mong general yun. Create a design that will be accurate generally. Kung floral ba, aayon kaya yun o hindi? Always place yourself on the negative and positive."
I nodded. Naiintindihan ko na ngayon. I looked at him, awkwardly.
"Sorry."
He pinched my nose.
"Next time, wag ding uunahin ang init ng ulo. Okay?"
" Yeah.."
"Let's eat.."
Someone knocked on the door.
"Come in.." Caleb offered.
Nakita kong papalapit si Mom at Auntie. Mommy namin ni Caleb.
"How's my baby?" said Mom.
"I'm not baby, anyway. I'm a teenager, Mom."
"Not a baby? Uh huh." I heard Caleb smirked.
I rolled my eyes.
"Anyway, nandun na sa living room yung bunch of groceries nyo. Kami na ang bumili ng Mom mo, Caela."
"Nag abala ka pa po, Auntie."
"It's okay. I just don't want Caleb dissipate some money." and there I chuckled.
"A little chuckled is bad, Caela." I burst out my laughter.
Well, enough for that. Napansin kong nawala sila Mom at Auntie. Kaya iniwan ko si Caleb sa dining table.
Para hanapin si Mom at Auntie.
I stopped nung marinig ko ang pinag uusapan nila.
"No, it will not happen. Caleb has a die-hard girlfriend."
