May mga bagay na hindi natin inaasahang mangyayari sa atin. Katulad nalang ng mga taong hindi natin inaasahang darating.

Parang yung pagdating niya sa buhay ko.

Biglaan.

"Hi! I'm Vinn, by the way", a man approached me while I was standing in front of the convenience store.

Napataas ang kilay ko at bahagyang itinuro ang sarili. Mahirap na, baka mag assume pa ako na ako ang kinakausap niya.

"A-ako?" Pagkaklaro ko

He chuckled and scratched his head.

"Yes. I just want to know your name. Sorry if I startled you" he sincerely said .

"It's okay.."

Tumango ako at nagsimulang maglakad papasok sa store. Nagulat nalang ako nang bigla niya akong unahan at ipinagbukas ng pintuan.

"Salamat.." sambit ko at nagtungo sa hilera ng mga drinks na gusto ko.

"Favorite mo ang Chuckie?!" Halos mapatalon ako gulat mula sa boses sa akinh likuran.

"Ah, oo hehe.. Comfort drink ko" simpleng sagot ko. Napadako ang tingin ko sa can of beer na hawak niya.

"Uhh.. isa lang naman" depensa niya nang mapansin ang pagtitig ko.

I just shrugged. It's not my business anymore. I should not intrude.

"Okay! If you say so.." saad ko at tinungo ang cashier.

Pagkatapos kong magbayad ay tinahak ko na ang exit ng store.

"Wait!" Mabilis akong lumingon nang may humablot sa braso ko.

"B-bakit?" Nauutal na tanong ko, gulat pa rin.

Napakamot siya sa batok bago iangat ang hawak na plastic bag.

Halos manlaki ang mata ko sa nasilayan.

"Would you like to have a drink with me?" He asked.

I shrieked due to excitement.

"Sure! Hindi ko tatanggihan ang Yakult at chuckie 'no!?"

He laughed with my words. I chuckled before walking towards the vacant table.

That night, nagWALWAL kami. Inubos namin ang ilang packs ng Yakult at litro ng chuckie.

And just like a cliché story, everything started from that day.

I thought, I'll not be able to see him again. But it turned out that we are going at the same university.

I am in fourth year college now, taking up Accountancy.

"Hi! Nice to see you again"

Napalingon ako sa pamilyar na boses na tumawag sa akin.

It was Vinn. He's smiling widely while wearing a nursing uniform.

"Whoa! It's you.." hindi makapaniwalang usal ko.

He walked towards me.

"Yeah, I've found you again, Eyrell." He uttered.

I smiled genuinely at him. I can't hide how blissful I am to meet him again.

We became friends, at first. But as the days go by, he asked me to be his girlfriend.

"I know, we barely know each other. But, one thing is for sure. I really like you, Eyrell" he sincerely said while holding a bouquet of roses.

He's standing in front of me, while I was speechless.
