"Layre. Do you know Ericka Fernandez?" I ask.
Bigla namang kumunot ang noo nya. Bigla nyang pinatay ang laptop nya at direktang tumingin saakin.
"No——I mean yes! Sino ba namang hindi eh sobrang sikat nyun" She chuckled.
"But if you ask did I knew him personally" Mabilis syang umiling.
I pout. "Okay"
"At bakit mo ba ako tinatanong? Hindi ko kaya ang level nyun. Why don't you ask Andales?" She laugh. "BFF kayo nyun diba? She probably knew him"
Him. Shit. Shiela will kill me if I call him like that.
I pout. "Shiela is no where to be found" I sigh. "Maybe I'll just call Tresha. She do modeling, sometimes"
Agad kong dinadial ang number ni Tresha. I look at the clock. It's lunch. Baka lunch break na din nyun.
'Why did you call? I still have a class. Hindi pa nag bebell' Mabilis na saad nya ng sagutin ang tawag.
Parang nakaistorbo ako sa klase nya.
"Oh. Sorry. A-ano, Kilala mo ba si Ericka Fernandez? Tatanungin ko lang sana Kung may number ka nya or email address?" I bite my lower lips.
'I work with him-—este her. Naku. Nasanay kasi ako sa him, when I describe that person' She sigh. 'I'll send you the details Huh? Got to go'
"thank you" I ended the call after that.
Nag-angat ako ng tingin Kay Layre. She raise her brow seems like asking me 'what?'. Nginitian ko lang sya at hinablot ko na ang bag ko. I stand up.
"Talagang mag papatahi ka pa ah" She laugh.
I pick some stuff in my table.
"Kailangan ih. Layre, Kunin mo nalang kay ope yung vlog ko huh? Pinaedit ko sa Kanya eh. I don't want you to do that." She furrowed her brow.
"Bakit? Magaling din naman ako ah.. "
I laugh. "That wasn't I mean. Gusto ko kasing ikaw mismo ang mag email kay Ericka. I have to spend time with my family. So..." I look at her. "Hope you can do that"
Sunod sunod syang tumango. "Kinabahan naman ako dun. Akala ko mawawalan na ako ng trabaho ih." She laugh.
"Nga pala! Kasama yung long time crush mo sa event"
Natigilan naman ako dun. Kasama sya? I am waiting for so long to meet him again. I pout. I hate it the fact that I felt nothing. Parang hindi naman ako Nakakaramdam ng excitement.
"Oh bakit ganyan yung reaction mo, I thought you want to meet him?" She said.
"that's what I expect too" I whispered.
"Huh?" She shout. "May sinabi ka ba?"
Marahan akong umiling. "W-wala. May gagawin pa kasi ako. Hmmm." Pag dadahilan ko.
"Layre. Yung sinabi ko sayo ah. I will send you the details once I received it"
She smile. "Yes naman, Khaning"
I wave my hand. She just smile. Napabuntong hininga nalang ako ng talikuran ko sya. It's been a while since the last morning I woke up and rush to his house. I miss how he cook——shit. I need to end this kind of thought.
"Good morning, ma'am Khaning" The guard greet.
"Good morning kuya bills" nag High five pa kami. "Una na po ako"
