Dear Sandro

CHAPTER 8

"DEAR SANDRO,

Talaga? Pinaglihi talaga ako sa sama ng loob?

Oo.

Makita kita sa tv o kung saan man sumasama ang loob ko.

Mygad.

Inaaway mo ko ha.

Humanda ka sa akin.

From your 8th basher,

-Baymax.

Habang tumatambay ako sa isang coffee shop dito sa mall at nagpapalipas ng oras bigla naman dumating ang kapatid ni Sandro na si Vinny.

May mga kasama din syang security.

I sat down properly habang nag-oobserve.

Ito naman kaya awayin ko?

He was ordering some coffee when he looked at me.

Hindi ko naman napansin na nagtinginan na pala kami sa isa't isa.

"Miss?"

He was waving his hand in front of me to get my attention.

Lumilipad na naman kasi ang isip ko eh.

"Ah yes?" I asked.

"Is there something I can do for you?"

"Huh?" Nagtaka naman ako.

"You were staring at me pagpasok ko palang dito eh. So it's either you were gonna ask me something or just being rude."

Luh.

English.

"Rude agad? Di pwedeng natulala lang?" I was being sarcastic habang umiinom ng kape.

He looked around then sat in front of me.

Nagulat naman ako sa kanya.

"Excuse you? Sino ngayon ang rude sa atin at bigla bigla lang umuupo dyan?"

I said.

He just grin at me.

Kumunot naman ang noo ko.

"I'm here for a coffee lang naman ang medyo boring mag-isa" He answered.

"Wala ka bang friends? Para samahan ka magkape" I asked.

"Ikaw? Mag-isa ka din dito, wala ka din friends?" He asked me back.

Medyo lumaki ang butas ng ilong ko ah.

"Pwede ka naman umupo somewhere ah."

"Nah, medyo boring ang mga tao dito and ikaw lang yung maingay eh" He whispered.

Medyo natawa din ako sa kanya.

"I'm Vinny by the way" Iniabot nya naman yung kamay nya sa akin.

"Clarion" I accepted his hand.

"I know you by the way" I said.

He smiled then took a sip of his coffee.

"Who doesn't?" He answered.

"Apakayabang" I said under my breathe?

"What was that?"

"Wala---"

Bigla naman ako nagka-idea.
