Twas Saturday morning, my friend and I planned to spend our day window shopping at SM City and of course isali mo na din ang pag boy hunting. Yes we did boy hunting and it was really fun!
"Pst dzaeee!"
Celane nudged my right arm. 'Yan ang body language namin 'pag may makita kaming gwapo o di kaya'y makasalubong.
I giggled as I looked at the guy she was referring to.
"On a scale of 1-10, I'm gonna rate him 6".
"Tihika pud nimo dae oy! Matiguwang jd ka ana forever ba".
"Eh sa 'di naman siya masyadong gwapo e".
I laughingly said. We rode on the elevator going upstairs. We are not fans of an escalator. Gusto kasi namin 'yung may pa up and down e charot.
"Anong floor, Miss?"
The operator asked.
"Ahmm sa 6th floor lang".
The elevator was about to close when somebody came over. Nagkatinginan kami ni Celane.
"On the scale of 1 to 10, I'm gonna rate him 8".
"Same." I replied. Medyo pogi naman. He was wearing a gray polo shirt with his eyeglasses on, supposedly my type of a man, four-eyed but may kulang pa.
"Ting".
The elevator banged open. We were already on the sixth floor. Dinning area.
Dapat sana ay mag window shopping lang kami kaso ayun, Celane lined up for a meal and I was left alone on our table.
Didn't waste the time, I roamed my eyes around, in search for another target.
"Hmmp... Wala namang pogi. Sayang".
I murmured to myself. Wala tuloy akong inspiration.
I little while later, Celane came with some foods on the tray.
"Kain ka na. My treat".
"Wawww char, talaga?"
"Yes, ayaw mo?"
"Ay syempre ayaw— I mean gusto!"
Nilantakan ko kaagad ang waffles at pintos.. Ang sarap talaga 'pag libre ng frenny!
"Dae, wala pa talaga tayong nakita na forever. Itigil nalang kaya natin 'to?"
"Baliw! Ikaw pasimuno nito eh! Galing pa naman tayu sa simbahan tapos ganito pinag gagawa natin." Natatawa niyang sabi. Oo nga naman.Dagdag kasalanan na naman 'to.
"Arcade tayo?"
Aya ko sa kanya nang matapos na kaming kumain.
"Sige, tara". Sabay kaming tumayo sa inuupuan namin at pagharap namin sa stall ng Mcdo ay biglang may...
Biglang may dalawang bituing sumalubong sa aming mga mata. Napapakanta talaga ako sa aking isip ng "Shining shimmering ringg".
Pareho kaming natulala ni Celane. Sino ba naman kasi ang 'di matulala kung dalawang poging nilalang na ang kaharap niyo?
"Perfect 10/ Perfect 10". Sabay naming sambit na parang sira.
"Hi, beautiful Celane! I am Greg Quaderon, 18, and single".
"Hi, gorgeous Cynical! I am Hillary Clinton, 18 and available".
Sabay sabay silang nagpakilala sa amin but we couldn't utter any word other than "Ahh hehe".
"We would love to be your target, beautiful ladies. Are you free for a double date today?"
"I'm asking you the same question, gorgeous Cynical".
Hillary said in a husky voice. He looked so damn good. Fucking good with his eyeglasses on plus he's stares were quiet intimidating, but still handsome. Definitely my type!
"This is for you". He handed me the bouquet of roses and showed me a "nakakatanggal ng ovary smile".
"Oh gosh! Aayaw pa ba ako? Should I take the risk? Is this a sin? Heto na kasi e! Nasa harap ko na ang matagal ko nang hinahanap."
I'm confused, ay char!
"Let's take the risk together. I'm absolutely willing to be your target. My heart is willing to get shot by you. Please prepare your bow and arrow".
Oh damn my heart! It's kabog kabog!
