Finding The One

HANNA

"Pfft. Baby girl! You're really childish. You know that? Hahaha" Tch. Nosy kuya carl.

"Mind your own business."

"Mind your own business." He mimicked my voice. Pfft. Hahaha. I looked at him. He looks so gay while saying that!

"Ugly gay. Hahaha." I pointed him. Gantihan lang yan. He laughed at me a while ago because im watching doraemon movie, so in exchange, i laughed at him too while teasing him that he's a gay.

"Me? A gay? Oh, dream on!" he said then threw the couch pillow to me.

"WHAT THE?! Ang pikon mo talaga! Ugh."

"YOU GAY!" i shouted and threw too the couch pillow which is beside me.

"Throw pillow fight pala gusto mo ha? GAME AKO DYAN." he said and gumanti siya sa pagbato ng pillow sa akin.

"GAY! BEKI!" I teased and threw pillow again to him.

"CHILDISH! IMMATURE! HAHAHAHAHAHA" he threw pillow too. Natamaan ako sa mukha. Ouch, it hurts.

"Childish? HAHAHA. Wag mo akong igaya sayo gay!" i said then laughed.

Pinagpatuloy namin ang pag-aasaran while threwing pillows to each other. But, nung mapagod na kami, we both stop and sat down on the couch.

"Di ka talaga marunong magpatalo baby girl! Hahaha" he said then ginulo yung buhok ko.

"Baby girl ka diyan! Hindi kaya!"

"Stop denying the truth. Hahaha." He looks like stupid actually. No, stupid na pala talaga siya.

"Whatevs." i said then continued watching doraemon.

"Magluto ka na. Im hungry." i said to him.

"Im older than you. So, you're the one who should do that." he said with hand gestures. Hmp. Gay talaga.

"Im the one who owns this unit. Can't you remember?" i raised my eyebrow while saying that.

"Tch. Fine." he said then leave. Yes, I won over this game! Ha-ha!

I continued what i'am watching actually. I waited on kuya carl whose cooking our dinner. Kakauwi ko lang from school. And fortunately, wala akong masyadong aaralin ngayon. So, im enjoying this moment.

After a few minutes, nakaamoy ako ng pagkaing nasusunog coming from the kitchen. I quickly ran over there, and checked what happened.

"Hey kuya carl! What happened?!" i said nang makarating ako sa kitchen.

But imbis na mainis ako sa nangyari, natawa na lang ako. Paano ba naman kasi, hindi ko malaman kung ano ang kalokohang ginawa nitong hambog kong pinsan sa kitchen ko. Nagkalat yung ingredients, umuusok na saucepan, sunog na ham and bacons, and yung mukha ni kuya carl na nakunot yung noo, made me laugh. He looks so disappointed right now. Poor carl.

"Haaayy! Ayoko na nga magluto!" he screamed in disappointment. "Magte-take out nalang ako ng pagkain from restaurant malapit dito, ligpitin mo na lang yan baby girl!" he added while leaving the kitchen.

"Alis muna ko! Bye!" he also said. Mukha siyang inis na inis. But why?! Eh di lang naman siya nakapagluto. Tch. STUPID.

CARL

F*CK. Hanggang sa pagluluto ko, siya pa din naaalala ko?! DAMN! Five years had already passed but, i still love her this much. How can i unlove her if everytime, siya lagi ang naiisip ko?!

I quickly ride at the elevator to lessen this f*cking feeling. But our past suddenly flashes back.

"Hindi ka marunong magluto?" she laughed while teasing me. Oh, how i love this girl. I wanna grow old with her.

"Anong tinatawa-tawa mo diyan?" i asked. "This is not my profession so dont expect like that."

"Hahahaha! Gusto mo turuan kita?" she suggested.

"Gusto mo ba sa mga lalaki ang magaling magluto?" i asked her first.

"That's one of the characteristics of a man i've dreamed of." she said while giggling. She's really cute.

"Fine, teach me. And i will master that effin' cooking you've wanted." i said to her on a serious tone.

"Haha. Can you master cooking?"

"Ofcourse. If that's what you want."

"Hahaha, then prove it."

"Yeah. I will definitely prove it you honey." i said then kiss her on the cheeks.

"I love you." she said while smiling.

"I love you more." i smiled back. "And i love you most." i added too.

"Haha. Ikaw talaga! Tara na nga magsimula na tayo sa cooking session natin!

 

"Sir! Sir! Okay lang po kayo?" nabalik ako sa realidad ng kausapin ako ng isang security guard.

"Im fine." i answered then left. Nandito palang pala ako sa building ng condo unit ni hanna. Ni hindi pa ako nakakalabas. Tch. Damn that flashback!

Pagkalabas ko ng building, naghanap agad ako ng restaurant na pwedeng pagbilhan ng dinner namin. I chose the italian restaurant which is so near from here.

Naisip ko kasing wag nalang kaming magpa-deliver ng dinner ni hanna. Masyado kasing matagal yun. So, I decided na kumain na lang kami sa labas. I texted her na dumiretso nalang dito sa resto kung nasaan ako.

“May I take your order sir?” waitress asked.

“Water nalang muna. May hihintayin lang muna ako” isaid.

“Sure sir.” She said then took a water for me.

While im waiting for hanna, I observed first this restaurant I’ve chosen. It looks so good. Peaceful. But after I saw the girl nearly sitting beside me, isaid to myself, “OH CARL. WRONG CHOICE.”

Wanna know what I’ve seen a while ago? ITS HER. THE GIRL I LOVED SO MUCH. THE GIRL I LEFT, FIVE YEARS AGO.
