"What's the tagalog of you?" Yoshua said na nabubulol pa sa pagbitaw ng salitang 'tagalog' ayun tuloy naging 'teglog'
Andito kami sa Shubika Caferu ngayon. It's a coffee shop near sa school na pinagtatrabahuan ko. Sinamahan kasi ako ni Yoshua nang magfile ako ng leave for 3 months kanina.
This month nalang kami uuwi sa Pinas kasi tumawag ang parents ni Pheme kanina at nabalitaan niyang namatay na pala ang kaniyang lolo.
Since gusto ni Yoshua na sumama, he ordered his secretary to take his seat while he's on his leave.
Maraming negosyo ang pamilya ni Yoshua katulad ng apartments ,convenience stores. food buses, cafè at laundry shops, since yumao na ang kaniyang ama, siya na ang nagpatakbo ng lahat ng mga iyon.
Masasabi kong ang hardworking ni Yoshua pero hindi halata sa mukha.
He literally looks like an ordinary person who doesn't have any responsibility to hold onto and you think that he's just this "walang trabaho,tambay lang" na guy.
Minsan na rin niyang naisabi sa amin ni Pheme na meron siyang Pinoy na business partner, ngunit hindi niya sinabi kung sino at wala rin naman kaming balak kilalanin kung sino talaga yun.
Ipinamahala muna ni Yoshua sa kaniyang paboritong pamangkin na si Yumi ang apartment kung saan kami nangungupa ni Pheme.
"You've been asking that for how many times already!" bulyaw ko kay Yoshua na ngayon ay nakatingin sa akin na para bang gustong-gusto niya akong kagatin anytime.rAwr
Totoong paulit-ulit niyang tinatanong sa akin kung ano ang tagalog ng 'you'. Ang bilis lang namang tandaan ang salitang 'ikaw', pero bakit andali-dali niyang malimutan?
"I just wanna hear it again from you." he said while clasping both of his hands.
I raised my brow and smoldered.
"Ikaw"
"How about you'll translate uhm, who's beautiful." napakamot ito sa kaniyang ulo
"Sino ang maganda" sagot ko habang tiningnan ko ang instagram post ni mamita. Mukhang hindi pa tumatanda si mamita ah,how I wish na sana hindi nalang talaga siya tatanda.
"Come again?" sabi niya habang nakakunot ang nuo.
Ang bungol naman ng hapong ito.
"I said, 'Sino ang maganda?', gets?" nakakatress naman itong paulit-ulit eh.
"Just talk slowly,please" he pleaded and I don't have nothing else to do but to command on his request.
"Si.no.ang.ma.gan.da." i said calmly na animo'y nagtuturo ng 4 years old na bata.
He leaned closer to my ear and he whispered "ikaw".
Dahil sa gulat, hindi ko kayang maigalaw ang aking katawan.
Ramdam ko ang mainit na hiningang ibinuga ni Yoshua sa aking tenga.
Sa isang hapong akala mo'y inosente at walang alam sa buhay kun'di ang lumamon at umakyat lang sa kahoy ay talagang nakakabaliw pero ang hapong ito ay isang manyakis at handa nang mang rape ng 12 years old na self ko.
"I-i know right, I'm maganda, super maganda!" i said while blushing. Feeling ko lalagnatin ako sa kilig neto.
"Maganda you with pink cheeks" he said together with a wink.
Gusto kong tumawa na ayaw dahil sa paraan ng pananalita niya. Ang conyo conyo lang.
I touched both of my cheeks and smiled widely in front of him.
"Take a photo of me now Shua" I pointed my phone using my nguso.
At first he was hesitant and I think di niya ako gets like di niya kuha ang pinapahiwatig ko and that is to kuha my phone.
"You want me to kiss you?" he asked innocently.
I saw how his brows furrowed. He's really adorable.
"No of course, just get my phone and take a photo of me!"
"Oh okey, I thought you want a kiss" he smiled shyly at kinamot niya ang buhaghag niyang hair.
When I saw him holding my phone and ready na to take a picture of me being so maganda in front of him, I tried my best to pose like those ladies I saw on pinterest.
"Let me see!" excited kong sabi sa kaniya at hinablot ko na ang phone ko galing sa kaniya.
He just laughed and it bombarded around the cafè. Nakakahiya naman itong kasama ko oy! Pero whatever, bahala sila kung anong thoughts nila about kay Yoshua.
I saw my photos and as I can see, he's so magaling mag picture. All of my photos were super maganda!
"thanks" i looked at him while saying that word. I saw how he averted his slit eyes away from me. Kinilig yata.
"Wow date na naman?" napatingin agad ako sa likuran ko at nakita ko si Pheme na nakapameywang.
"Selos ka na nyan?" sabi ko sabay tawa at hampas sa mesa.
"Gaga!" umupo na ito sa bakanteng upuan na katabi lang ni Yoshua.
"Tomorrow's the day right?" Yoshua interrupted.
"Day what?" sabat ni Pheme na naguguluhan.
"Gurl we're going back to the Philippines tomorrow!" i hissed.
"Well, not to impress you guys but I already packed my things up!" Shua said together with his wide smile. Ang adorable talaga.
"Packed what?" Pheme said with her confused face.
"Ang sabaw mo gurl!" I rolled my eyeballs.
"Packed like I put all of my necessities inside my luggage Pheme." Shua's cutely explaining while he's acting like he's putting things on the table.
Bahagya akong natawa sa inakto niya.
"Ahh I see, sorry naman Sath HAHAHA lutang lang kasi mayghad!"
"So what's the plan?" sabi ko habang pinipindot gamit ang tinidor ang cupcake na nasa mesa.
"Sath, don't play with the food" he calmly said those words as if he's afraid if I might be offended.
"Patay ka kay daddy Yoshua gurl!" Pheme leaned and whispered.
Hinampas ko siya sabay sabi ng "Sira!" at tumawa ng bahagya.
"I'm so sorry master!" I said while bowing.
"Huh?" lutang na sabi ni Yoshua.
Kumunot ang nuo namin ni Pheme at sabay sabing "SABAW!"
"Sebow what?" naguguluhang tanong ni Shua at tawa parin kami ng tawa ni Pheme.
"Secret" Pheme childishly said.
Mukha na kaming sira dito. Parang ang immature ng dating but whatever, judge us all you can.
At least we're real, not fake, hindi kagaya ng "BESTFRIEND" mo.
