(5) city of love

S I C H E N G

Today is Saturday, katatapos ko lang mag lunch, mas napaaga pa since I'm about to leave later, babyahe pa ako papunta sa campus. Medyo malayo pa yung estate sa mismong city proper and it would take me a 30-45 minutes ride. I already fixed my things, it's too early yet so I decided to call Aiya first.

"Hi."

[Hey... Bakit ka napatawag?] tanong ni Aiya. She must have not expect me to call her.

"I just want to ask how are you doing? I mean how's your foot?" I asked. I hope she'd doing fine now.

[Pagaling na din. Thanks to you.] I can hear her cute little laugh.

"Mabuti naman. You're welcome Aiya." I smiled. Nakahinga ako ng maluwag dahil magaling na siya.

[You don't have to worry, nakakalakad na ako.] Aiya laughed.

"Are you sure? Kasi kapag hindi ka pa okay sabihin mo lang, susunduin kita." I offered her.

Kailangan ko pa ding masigurado na okay na siya. I'm still worried about Aiya since last night. If only I could check on her. Parang ayaw ko pa nga siyang iiwan kagabi, but it would be inappropriate for me to stay in her unit.

[Sicheng it's too much. You don't have to do that okay?]

"Okay Aiya..." I sighed. "Anyway, I was thinking about uploading our photos from the ball, yung tayong dalawa. Kung okay lang sayo."

[What? Are you serious? Baka naman magka-issue pa ako pa niyan, if ever may ka MU or in a relationship ka ha?] Aiya joked. I really find her laugh so cute.

"No that won't happen... I'm single." I replied casually and smiled.

I really don't have to inform Aiya that I'm single, but I just feel like telling her. Besides, we're comfortable with each other so it seems fine if I'll let her know.

[Oh... I thought...] Aiya gasped.

"You thought I have a girlfriend? No Aiya. Wala akong girlfriend." I chuckled.

[Okay?]

"What about you? Are you in a relationship or what?" curiosity hits me, kaya di ko rin naiwasang itanong kay Aiya.

It's not bad to know if she's in a relationship or what.

[I have no boyfriend since birth.] Aiya laughed.

"Well... parehas pala tayo. I haven't had a girlfriend yet." sabi ko.

I don't know why but I felt relieved nang malaman kong wala pang boyfriend si Aiya. If ever she has, I should limit my jokes.

"Anyway, about the photo... Do you mind?"

[Oh, it's fine with me since we're friends already, pero sana huwag lang akong ma-issue ng mga mutual friends or family mo ha? They might wonder who am I?] Aiya says it with a laugh.

"Then I would tell them you're my girlfriend." I grinned. I just want to tease her.

[What?! No! You're trying to flirt with me are you?] I heard her scoff.

I laughed. "Nah, I was just kidding... but most likely."

[Nakakagulat ka!] Aiya exclaimed.

"Well surprise." I laughed.

[I was so wrong when I thought you were innocent.] kahit di ko nakikita ang itsura niya, I can imagine Aiya scrunching her nose.

"Well I ain't one, girl."
