"Hmmmm... so sinong masuwerteng lalaki ang nagugustuhan ng baby namin?"

A gasped escape from my mouth and I slowly turn my head just to see my mother looking at what I am doing in my laptop.

Nahihiyang sinara ko ang laptop ko at napapakagat-labi na hindi ko malingunan ang ina ko na narinig kong tumawa.

I was so engrossed with what I am reading that I didn't even notice na nakapasok na pala siya sa kuwarto.

"Dalaga na talaga ang baby ko," sambit ni Mommy na niyakap ako mula sa likod. "Who's the lucky guy?" untag niya ulit matapos na lumayo sa akin.

Naalis na ang hiya ko at tiningala ang ina ko nang nakangiti. "He's a star."

Umupo si Mommy sa kama at tinapik ang tabi niya. Agad akong lumapit sa kanya at niyakap siya sa bewang.

"A star?"

Tinuro ko ang mga posters na nakadikit sa dingding ko partikular sa solo poster ni Dark.

"Hmmm, he's really a star then."

Ngumuso ako. "How can I make a star fall for me, Mommy? He's so aloof, just when I thought na may tsansa na makalapit na ako sa kanya hindi pala. He still doesn't bother looking at me."

Napabuntong-hininga ako dahil isang linggo mahigit na ang nakalipas simula ng gabing dalhin niya ako sa bahay nila. Ilang sulyap ba at bati ko ang hindi niya tinutugunan sa mga nakalipas na araw?

So, this is what it feels like to fall for someone unreachable.

"The easiest thing about love is falling for someone but the hardest thing about it is how to make that person fall for you, too."

"That's contradicting, Mommy. If it's easy why can't he fall for me?"

Tumawa si Mommy at ginulo ang buhok ko. "Claudine, you can't force someone to fall for you the same way you fell for them," sambit niya.

Ngumuso ako. "I know Mommy but I just really want him to look at me. To talk to me. To get to know him more."

"How about you start by cooking for him, you know what they always say, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach," natatawang tugon sa akin ni Mommy.

"My, I already tried that, I don't even know kung kinain niya iyong mga niluto ko—"

"Hindi mo pa naman alam. You know Claudine, you can't get everything you want in just a snap. It takes a lot of effort and patience to make someone fall for you."

Hindi ako nakakibo at napabuntong-hininga lang.

"Sumunod ka sa baba, I was planning to bake a cake, why don't you bake for him?"

Kakainin niya kaya? Or maibibigay ko kaya sa kanya?

Nang hindi ako nakakibo ay hinila ako ni Mommy patayo at umabrisete sa akin.
