"I'm tired! Pang ilang condo na 'tong pinuntahan natin. Wala pa rin akong nakikitang maganda. Ikaw?"

I looked at Aj. Yes, we're finally doing a condo hopping! During new year, our family celebrated together. Sa bahay naman kami ng mga Araneta dumayo. Now, we finally doing a condo hopping, ilang buwan na lang kasi Aj and I will graduate highschool na and will finally proceed to college.

"Ikaw." He teased me with a smiled.

"Anong ako? Tanga ka ba?" My brows met.

"Ikaw lang nakikita kong maganda." He chuckled. 

"Tinatanong maayos, kung ano ano sinasabi." I rolled my eyes. 

"Tara na, pumunta na tayo sa susunod na condo, last na pala 'to." Inakbayan niya 'ko at lumabas na kami ng unit na 'yon. 

Sumakay na ulit kami sa kotse niya at umalis na rin. We decided to eat muna bago dumeretso sa huling condo na titingnan namin, kanina pa kaming 12pm naghahanap, anong oras na, 6pm na. Nakakabaliw.

We're here at a simple cafe near UPD, around here lang din kasi kami naghahanap ng condo para malapit sa university na papasukan namin. Ang hirap kaya kapag magddrive pa, tapos ang layo. Hassle. We ordered our food na and sit right after, waiting for our food to be serve. 

"Babe, bakit hindi mo suot 'yong binigay ko sayong shoes?" Aj leaned on his chair and crossed his arms. Yes, he gave me a simple white Comme Des Garcons sneakers. And yes, it is expensive! Hindi na 'ko nagulat, Araneta siya.

"Ayoko madumihan." I looked at him. Isinandal ko ang siko ko sa lamesa habang nakahawak sa magkabilang pisngi ko.

"Pag liliitan mo lang 'yon. Suotin mo minsan, babe. Masasayang." He rolled his eyes. 

"I will po!" I smiled. "Ikaw? Nagagamit mo ba 'yong niregalo ko sayo?" I raised a brow. 

He mimicked the movement of my brows, he raised a brow too! "Of course! Sobrang nagagamit ko. Duh, gitarista 'tong binigyan mo ng pick! malamang sa malamang, gagamitin ko 'yon." Yes, ayon lang ang regalo ko sa kaniya! Ang totoo kasi niyan, hindi ko alam kung ano ireregalo sa kaniya, lahat naman kasi kaya niyang bilhin.

So, I decided to give him a set of guitar picks together with a necklace with guitar pick pendant with our initials at the back of it, A&S. Maliit lang medyo 'yong pendant, kaya nakakatuwa rin dahil sinusuot din ni Aj 'yon.

"I value this," He showed me the necklace. "Our initials are carved here, ibig sabihin, wala nang hiwalayan ha!" 

"Baka, ikaw ang mag-iwan sakin." I teased.

"Hoy, mahal na mahal kita, tapos ako pagbibintangan mo nang ganyan?" He shook his head and rolled his eyes.
