Yasmine
Time flies too fast, one month from now is already our graduation.
Parang kailan lang kakastart lang ng klase namin.
And about my relationship with Martin is fine, we’re good and stay strong but sometimes we can’t avoid couple fights. Mabuti na lang Martin is matured and napaka-understanding, sa tuwing nag-aaway kami — walang natutulog sa amin hanggang sa hindi namin naayos ito and he cares to much to me.
“Love?” umangat ang tingin ko when Martin called me using our endearment.
“Yes?” I asked.
“Let’s go on date?” aya niya.
Malaki ang ngiti sa kaniyang labi na parang may good news itong nasagap.
“I thought you were busy?”
Umiling ako at lumapit sa akin para yakapin ako. It’s saturday, probably it’s our rest day.
We’re both busy kaya sometimes ay wala kaming time sa isa’t isa. It’s kinda sad for me, minsan ay hindi ko siya nakikita ng ilang araw dahil ako ay graduating student na tapos siya ay busy sa pag-aasikaso sa kompanya nila.
Last month we moved here in condo where we live right now. At ’yong binili kong apartment ay binenta ko na, at sa pinagta-trabaohan ko naman—kinausap ko si Nanay Linda na kailangan ko ng magresign dahil nga busy rin ako at bumalik na rin sa pagbibigay ng allowance si Daddy sa akin simula n’ong naganap ang engagement party namin ni Martin.
“I’m free today, love. So, deal?” he still smiling waiting for my answer. “Pretty please? I missed you so much.”
“Ay, ’di nga?”
Tumango ito. “I missed you so much, love.”
Natawa naman ako at hinalikan ito sa gilid ng labi niya. “Okay, deal. . .”
“Okay, get ready,” aniya at kinalas ang kaniyang yakap.
Tumayo ito, hinalikan nito ang noo ko ’tsaka nagpaalam na maliligo muna. I just nodded and nagpalit lang ng simpleng ripped jeans and plain white croptop. Ginamit ko na rin ang sneakers na binili sa akin ni Martin n’ong nakaraan.
“Are you ready?” tanong ni Martin ng bigla itong sumulpot sa likod ko.
He’s wearing a black v-neck shirt with khaki shorts, at nagsneakers rin ito gaya ng akin.
Naglagay lang ako ng pulbo at liptint bago tumango sa kaniya. “I’m done, let’s go?”
Tumango ito at lumabas na kami ng unit namin, we’re on eighth floor that’s why we used elevator.
“Where are we going?” I asked him.
“Afternoon walk with you first, then we’re going to eat dinner in a nearby restaurant here. . .”
Tumango ako at hindi nagsalita.
Pagkalabas namin ng condo ay hindi na gano’n kainit, it’s already four o’clock. Dahil nasa BGC kami, naglakad-lakad lang kami.
