marshmelo: sana kasi nandito ka na rin no?

today is Sunday and we've decided to go out for a jog. Nandun na silang lahat sa sports complex while i'm still here on the road waiting for the traffic light to turn green. Nagreply ako ng 'be there at 5' tapos tinago ko ang phone ko.

i'm wearing my grey nike tracksuit and paired it with a white running shoes. I parked my white mercedes benz, grabbed my airpods and went inside the complex. Tinitignan ko ang mga tao as i do my warm up routine. I saw Bea from afar, she's wearing a peach colored hoodie paired with a black leggings and a white running shoes.

"be there at 5, pero 10 minutes na nakalipas bago ka pa nakarating dito" she said as she stopped in front of me, trying to catch her breath

"traffic nga kasi dyan sa may EastWest! tapos saktong na-red light pa ako" i explained then we start to jog together. I put the hoodie of my tracksuit on and played my work out playlist

"dumating na ba yung order natin from Lazada?" Melo asked as she drinks in her Bamboo flask

we are now sitting in the field as we watch the sunset. I looked at Melo while drinking then i closed the lid of my bamboo flask before answering her.

"being shipped na daw sabi sa email na sinend sakin 2 days ago" sagot ko "next week daw darating" pagpapatuloy ko pa, sakin kasi naka-address yung order and the delivery man will call me when he's on his way to deliver the package

"gosh nakaka-excite! isusuot ko sa paskuhan yung mga 'yun" Bea said then she clapped her hands

well, mahilig kami mag-online shop and halos pare-parehas kami ng order, magkakaiba lang ng color and design, tulad netong bamboo flask namin. Nagtatawanan kami because of Chester's story, when i felt my phone vibrate. I took it out of my pocket and saw an unregistered number. I don't usually answer calls from unknown caller kaya i put my phone back in my pocket. Maya-maya pa ay nag-vibrate ulit 'to so i answered the call as i turn my head sideways to excuse myself, but i'm still sitting beside my friends.

"hello? good pm po ma'am" the guy greeted on the other line

"hello, who's this?" tanong ko

"ma'am, ninja van po. Nandito po ako sa tapat ng bahay mo po pero wala pong tao" he replied. My eyes widened upon hearing what he said. It's our order from Lazada!

"po?!" i said. Napatingin ang mga kaibigan ko sakin when i suddenly shouted. Akala ko ba next week pa dating?! bat ang bilis naman ngayon?

my friends are still looking at me as i stood up, ready to go home to pick up the parcel. Their eyes were asking who's on the other line so i mouthed 'lazada' their eyes widened

"dumating na?!" tanong ni Bea tapos tumayo siya sa pagkakaupo niya, i just nodded

"uhm, kuya? can you please wait? i'll be there at 15, i'm so sorry" sabi ko, i'm so doomed! my gosh nakakahiya kay kuyang delivery man

"i can actually wait forever ma'am, basta ba ikaw hihintayin ko" he said, i frowned as i tilted my head a little to the side, trying to digest what i heard

"what?" i said with a hint of irritation on my voice. Anong trip netong taong 'to? First time nangyari sakin 'to a? i mean Ninja Van's delivery men are so nice and not pilosopo, unlike this one.

i heard him chuckle on the other line kaya mas napakunot ang noo ko, nagtataka na rin ang mga kaibigan ko sa inaasal ko

"i'm sorry" he laughed "it's me, Zach. I can imagine your flustered face right now" he continued while still laughing
