A Prologue on a Major Crushing

ALI


"You sure you'll drink all of them?" he asked while munching his food. I gathered all the milkteas on my side and I can see myself with shines and glittering eyes because of the sight.

He's looking at me with doubt because I keep staring on them like there's no tomorrow. Like, hello! That's milktea.

He bougt one Okinawa Flavor, one Matcha, one Nutella-Oreo Royalé Fusion and one Classic milktea. Walang Thai flavor but these ones are so enjoyable on the eyes. I can't help but be pleased.

Halos inubos ko kaagad ng walang hingahan ang watermelon shake ko para lang sa milktea. I kept in taking some photos of them when he suddenly scoffed.

"What?"

"You really love them do you?" he asked

"Who wouldn't?"

"Me."

"Why?! Milktea is love kaya."

"Psh. Whatever." saad niya at ipinagpatuloy ang pagkain.

"Thank you." I sincerely said but he just kept on being silent.

Again, I took some snaps of the milktea but this time, isinama ko siya sa frame. He didn't know na kasama siya pero naalerto siya sa capture sound ng camera kaya nakuhanan ko rin siya ng nakatingin sa direksyon ko habang mukhang naiinis.

"You know, you can ask me to look at you if you want to take a picture." reklamo niya

"Malay ko ba kung aayaw ka?"

"Try me, then." he challenged

Try kaya kitang hampasin?!

But for a second I thought, no. Nope. 'Wag na lang. Baka saksakin pa ako nito ng tinidor.

"Sige nga! Osya, First! Tingin ka sa camera." utos ko kaya naman ganun nga ang ginawa niya.

Timingin siya sa camera habang nanguya but he didn't smiled. He frowned instead, idagdag mo pa ang pagkain niya sa loob ng bibig at nakapagpabukol sa kanyang pisngi. But hell, he looks effin' cute. Sorry, Carlos. This one's to the man in front of me.

"Imma post this one. Lagay ko sa story ko, ha?" pagpapaalam ko sa kanya

"Akala ko ba ayaw mo ng gulo?"

"Can't I just appreciate what you did? This is a friendly gesture, duh."

"Friendly mo mukha mo. Basta 'pag may nang-away sa'yo, 'wag kang tatakbo sa'kin."

"E, 'di wow. I have my kuyas."

"You have your kuyas naman pala." he mocked me and even copied how I pronunced kuyas. Maarte and conyo like.

"It's not me who brought myself to you. Blame that pretty lady."

"Raven?"

Ah, so Raven pala ang pangalan niya. O just nodded at him at he also didi the same.

"By the way. Can I have my phone back? I mean, ako na lang ang magpapaayos." saad kong muli pagkatapos ng ilang katahimikan

"No. Ako na ang magpapaayos. I'll have it with me for the time being."

"Then let me give you the fee. Magkano ba paayos mo?"

"No. Ako na."

"Ayaw ko nga! Magkakaro'n na naman akong utang na loob sa'yo." ang dami ko na kayang utang! Mula sa panggugulpi ko sa kanya, him not telling to my parents what I did to him, him treating my wounds tapos ngayon 'yung phone ko.
