It's Sunday today and I'm going to the church first before ako makipagkita kay Veyn. I'm going to attend the first mass. 4 days din kaming hindi nagkita but we still chat everyday.
Hindi ko alam kung bakit ko nga rin nire-replyan yun. Maybe he's just fun to talk to especially I've never talked to someone with the same interest as me before. Hindi naman kasi mahilig si Xean sa mga nakahiligan ko. We're the total opposite kaya hindi ko rin alam bakit naging magkaibigan kami.
I guess perspective, likes and differences will never hinder a friendship. If you click, you click. If you vibe, you vibe.
Sa apat na araw na yun, Veyn and I talked about theology. Halos hindi kami maubusan ng topic about dun and I learned a lot about theology because of him.
Pagkadating ko sa church ay kaka-start pa lang ng mass at after 1 hour ay natapos din ito. Papunta ako ngayon sa Angels' Coffee Bar, it's where we ate last time. I told my driver to drop me there at sabi ko ay tatawag nalang ako if magpapasundo na.
When I got there, nandun na siya sa same spot na kinainan namin last time. Naka headphones siya kaya hindi niya ako kaagad na pansin. He only noticed me when I was already in front of him.
"Oh, andito kana pala. Stay here. Ako na mag-oorder. What do you want?" He asked and stood up. Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay.
"The only reason why I'm here is that you agreed with me that I'll be the one to pay." I lied.
I actually went here cause I'm having fun talking to him. It seems like nababawasan ang overthinking ko kapag kausap ko siya.
"Well, I only agreed with you para pumunta ka dito."
"Then, I'll be going now." Akmang aalis na ako ng pinigilan niya ako.
"Okay, fine. I'll only have Irish coffee." He said hesitantly.
"Yan lang?" I asked and he nodded.
Pagdating ko sa counter ay napamura nalang ako kasi hindi ako marunong mag pronounce ng mga pangalan ng kape nila. Buti nalang at Irish coffee ang gusto niya.
I ended up ordering cookies and cream frappe for myself, a slice of Red Velvet cake and a bucket of fries. I also ordered a blueberry cheesecake for him even though he told me he only wants coffee.
Bumalik ako sa table namin at umupo. Parang malalim ang iniisip niya kaya tinanong ko siya.
"Problem?" I asked without looking at him. I'm only looking outside the glass window.
"Since when did you became interested with my personal life?" He teased me.
"Just asking."
"I'm going back to the states next week." Napatingin ako sa kanya.
"What about your studies?" I asked.
"I actually study there. I only visit my dad from time to time." Yung puntod ba ng tatay niya or yung step-father niya?
I don't know how to put it into words without saying sorry after I ask him such sensitive questions.
"My step-dad." We never talked about this before kaya I'm glad he opened up the topic.
"Kasama mo ang mama mo sa states?" I asked. I've never seen his mom before.
"Nope. She's here with dad. I was already in highschool when they decided to get married but my mom decided na dun ko na lang daw tapusin ang pag-aaral ko. I only visit them from time to time." He said. I decided to open up a topic.
