Wala akong nagawa maliban sa tumunganga buong magdamag dahil sa mga pangyayari kanina. Isa pa, hindi rin ako makakagawa ng reviewer ko dahil tinangay ni Archie ang bag ko.

Obviously, galit ito dahil sa mga nasaksihan. Well, I guess, he somehow has the right to get mad seeing me, after everything that we have talked about at the park.

Tanga ko naman kasi! Hindi nag-iisip ng consequences!

'Enjoy na enjoy ka pa kanina ha!'

Ilang beses na ako nagpagulong-gulong sa kama at hindi ko na rin mabilang ang positions na ginawa ko para lang dalawin ako ng antok pero wala pa ring nangyayari.

It was already past ten o'clock. During this time, my soul was already in the dreamland, enjoying the smell of the flowers and the hymn coming from the birds.

Frustrated na napabalikwas ako mula sa pagkakahiga. I took my phone form the nightstand and looked at it intently, contemplating whether to chat Archie or not. I am having a silent battle with myself!

Should I send a message?

He might be sleeping already!

Napapadyak ako nang malakas habang binubuksan ang Messenger App sa cellphone ko. God, this is killing me.

Bago ko pa mamalayan ang pinagtitipa kong salita, na-pindot ko na ang send.

To Archie Jalandoni:

Hey, r u still up? I'm sorry, I should have told you about Vince's plan.

I bit my nails while looking at the screen. He's online but he didn't open his Messenger!

To Archie Jalandoni:

I know you're mad. But at least, talk to me.

Ten minutes passed but there were still no replies from him. What the hell!

I felt my nerves heating because I received no response from him. I even felt my brow knotted slowly turning into a thin line. Tsk.

To Archie Jalandoni:

Tangina, Archie ah! Ang arte mo, nagpapaliwanag na nga ako eh!

The moment I pressed sent, my phone rang surprising the hell out of me. Now, he's calling!

Ibang klase rin ang isang ito, kailangan pa talaga siyang murahin para magbigay ng response. Siraulo!

"What!" I answered irritably. I even rolled my eyes.

I heard him softly laughing at the other line. Damn, he's enjoying this.

["I can't see you, but I am sure that you look cute when you're mad!"] he said chuckling.

"Ang saya mo ah!"

["Gusto ko lang naman ma-experience na suyuin mo, Baba. I'm actually not mad. Well, not anymore. But I just want you to know that I was jealous!"] Mahinahon na tila isang mapayapang alon na ang boses nito.

My eyes grew wide when I heard his last word. Jealous? Ang dali lang para sa kanyang aminin 'yon?

"Why would you be jealous?" natatawa na ring tanong ko. Humupa na ang galit na nararamdaman ko kanina dahil sa maamong boses nito.

["Who wouldn't? Though, it's ironic because I am jealous of a girl!"] he laughed again.

I also found it funny at the same time overwhelming.
