CHAPTER 3

Nang malaman ko ang social media accounts niya ay agad ko iyong sinearch. Sa facebook ako nag-start. I typed his name, Lincoln Andrei Santiago.

A lot of people followed him and there are few mutuals. God! He looks so good in his picture. I tried to click it  pero ayaw mag-open. Ang cover photo niya naman ay view lang ng dagat.

Nag-scroll din ako ngunit mga profile pictures at tagged photos niya lang ang nakikita ko. Naka-private siguro.

Ia-add ko ba siya? Baka hindi ako i-accept, edi nakakahiya lang. Pano pag i-accept din ako? Anong susunod kong gawin? Hindi ako marunong mag-initiate ng conversation.

Should I start with?

*emoji ng aso*

Ayy sorry. Ang likot ni Whitey. Whiteyyyy!

Hi nga pala. Hihihi.

He might think that I'm crazy.

Or?

Hi? Do you want to order my homemade mango float? 150 per tab lang po. Thanks.

Tapos if hindi siya mag-reply, dudugtungan ko ng "or baka ako ang gusto mong orderin?"

Pwede na?

Or?

You wave at Lincoln Andrei.

Ayy! Sorry, na click ko. Hindi ko sinasadya. Pasensya na talaga.

Common! A lot of people do that.

Pwede din namang

Hiiiii! I'm Cathy btw, nagkita na tayo noon sa club.

OMG! Sorry! 'Yong friend ko 'yon, pinagtripan ako eh. Sorry talaga.

Tangina! Mamaya ko na lang 'yan iisipin.

Sunod kong buksan ang twitter ko and then I directly clicked search and then I typed his username. andreixlincoln. Fortunately, it's public.

Mukha niya lang ang nasa icon niya. He has a lot of followers. Why didn't I noticed him before?

Sunod kong tiningnan ang mga tweets niya. His tweets are so random but one caught my attention after scrolling for minutes. It was tweeted 4 days ago. Kinabahan ako pero ayaw ko namang mag assume no. Baka wala lang 'to. Pero Sunday niya to tinweet. A day after we met and this is what it said.

"Not intersted is not my name. Duh."

Shit! Is this about that night or am I just assuming? Someone enlighten me.

Nag-scroll pa ako at marami din siyang retweets about political issues, poems, pagkain, aso. Ang random. Ang dami niyang hilig.

Tiningnan ko rin ang media niya, group pictures lang ang naroon. Captions are such as 'for keeps', 'cheers to more years' and madami pa.

May nakita din akong picture na may kasama siyang babae. Maganda siya, 'happy birthday to this amazing woman beside me, God bless you Eve. Matagal ka pa sanang mabuhay." And then may tumatawang emoji sa huli. I laughed at his last sentence.

I switched to IG after. May story siya, iv-view ko sana pero hindi pa naman ako naka follow, he might remember me and think that I am stalker, which what I am actually doing now.  Pero kahit na, nakakahiya 'yan.
