"Punta ka mamaya sa bahay." Nehemiah said right after we got out of the shop. I just nodded mindlessly because I was too busy looking at the bracelet. It really looked good though I don't know what A & N means.

"Nakikinig kaba saakin Asia?" I was dumbfounded when he called me by my name.

"What did you call me?"

"Pasayloa, miss." He said, trying his best to stifle a smile.

"What? What's pasayloa? What kind of language are you using?" He laughed at my remarks.

"Dito sa San Felipe, ga gamit jud kami bisaya. Malipayong pag-abot sa San Felipe." He proudly said while smiling.

"What? Seriously, I didn't understand even thing." I frankly said because he looked stupid for a moment. His smile quickly dissappeared and frowned. It is my turn to laugh.

"Boang."

"But seriously speaking, why are you speaking like that?" I asked, pertaining to his words.

"Tawag dini bisaya. Ito ang lengguahe namin dito kaya mas mabuti kung matuto kang magtagalog, o mas mabuti pa ay magbisaya."

"Why? Can't I speak english?" He frowned even more.

"Hindi jud kasabot yung ibang tao dine ng ingles. Kaya mas mabuti kung matuto ka dahil isang buwan ka dito." He said sounding so manly at his bisaya accent. I just nodded at him, not asking follow up questions.

"Paano nga pala ako makakalearn ng ganyang dialect?" He sighed.

"Tabangan tika."

"Huh?"

"Tutulungan kako kita." Sabi niya, halatang naiinis na. I chuckled.

"Almost all of the people here ba is speaking bisaya?" I asked while looking at my bracelet.

"Hindi ka ba nakikinig saakin, Sia?" He said but my eyes are still fixed on the lovely bracelet he gave me.

"Nakikinig naman." I asnwered him while still looking at the bracelet. My eyes widened when he caught my wrist, making me look at him. "What is your problem?" I asked him, confused.

"Pwede bang makinig ka naman sa sinasabi ko? Saka pwede din bang kapag kinakausap kita ay tingnan moko at di yang pulseras na yan? Babawiin ko talaga yan!" Banta niya, i got schocked.

"What?! You just gave me this tas sasabihin mo that you'll bawi bawi?!" I said hysterically. He must've noticed the looks of the people because I shouted kaya he dragged me near my house.

"Wag ka ngang sumigaw." He said.

"But i-it's your fault!"

"Oo na, hindi na!"

"Kinsa na Nehemiah?" I looked at his back to see who's talking and I saw a tall and moreno man, just like Nehemiah's age.

"Oh, uyab nimo?" Tanong nung isa. I really can't understand them so I just looked at my bracelet and decided to take a photo with it, letting Nem answer them.

"Ah, hindi." Nem said.

"Oh, so pwede jud pangaluyagan?" I looked at the guy who asked and saw that he was slightly gwapo.

"Dili na jud pag tistingi." Nehemiah's voice was stern, which made the boys laugh.

"Kala nako, dili mo uyab?" Parang tukso nung isa. I rolled my eyes at them and focused on my phone again. But my ears can still hear them.

"Unsa imong pangalan?" I looked at the gwapo who's also looking at me pala. I was about to tell him that I can't understand their unknown language but the man beside him also asked me a question.
