After All

4

I woke up early and nag ayos na rin ako. Paul invited me to eat, so the marupok in me bumigay naman. We'll meet later sa TriNoma since dun ko naisip na magpasundo kay Kuya Athan later.

Nagbook ako ng grab, wala naman ako masyadong dala dahil gusto ko lang talaga umuwi para masulit ko ang weekend ko. While I'm on my way to TriNoma I messaged Paul already.

Aliana Isabel Zamora: On my way.

Paul Sebastian: Starbucks near J. Co.

Wow?! Ang aga niya, ha. Well, okay na rin, since I don't want to waste my time kakain lang naman kami then uuwi na ako.

To Kuya Athan:

Kuya, pick me up later in TriNoma. I'll text you if you can pick me up na.

From Kuya Athan:

Ok po

I saw him right away, he's sitting outside Starbucks with his black shirt, blue jeans and white shoes with his club master shades on. Wala bang ibang kulay na damit 'tong taong 'to kung hindi black and white? Never ko pa siya nakitang nag blue or green. But anyway, he's still handsome.

"Uhmm, hello?", he chuckled when I greeted him and stood up immediately.

"Where do you want to eat?", he assisted me and gestured na mauna na ako maglakad.

"Anywhere? Actually, I am not that hungry. Let's just eat something light."

We decided to eat at Hanamaruken, he guided and sat in front of me. "Order ka na, it's on me," he handed the menu to me and took out his phone.

I ordered Pot Belly Ramen, and he ordered Bangus Unagi Rice Bowl for himself without even looking at the menu.

"So, anong meron? Why did you invite me, you can go out with your friends naman", I faced him on my side and tilted my head. He put his phone on the table and looked at me.

"My friends went out last night, they went home this morning" he answered, "I thought that we're friends naman so I invited you."

Friends? He said we're friends. Ouch.

"Oh, okay. So, what makes you busy? I mean how did you become friends with Dom? You seem different from his circle." I asked curiously.
