It's been 5 minutes but the president still not here. I was always looking at the entrance and I want to go to where he was now.
"Puntahan ko na po, sir..." paalam ko dahil hindi na ako mapakali at tatayo na sana pero nagulat ako nang papasok na siya sa entrance at...
MAY HAWAK NA BOX NG PIZZA?!?!
"Mr. President..." I called him.
Diretso siya saakin. Ibinigay niya saakin ang isang box ng pizza. "As you said, you prefer pizza than burgers."
Naupo siya at ako ay naiwan na nakatayo sa tabi niya at hindi makapaniwala.
Did the president bought me a box of pizza? Woah, wait? Am I damn dreaming? Please, slap me.
"Sana all may pizza!"
"Baka naman!"
Pang-aasar nila saakin. Binuksan ko naman ang box at bibigyan ko na sana sila pero pinigilan ng pangulo ang kamay ko.
"Only for Lieutenant." sabi niya sa kanila.
"Sir, marami naman po ito... hindi ko mauubos ang isang box." Umiling siya.
"Iuwi mo kung hindi mo maubos para may kainin ka kapag nagutom ka mamaya." sagot niya.
Wala naman kaming magawa kundi ang sumunod sa kanya. Hindi na ako namigay ng pizza at hindi na rin naghingi ang mga kasama ko.

Ilang sandali pa, natapos na kaming kumain at bumalik na sa parking space.
"Let me drive, Lieutenant." Hindi ako sumagot. Kinuha niya ang susi ng sasakyan saakin.
"Sir, you can't drive. Let Lieutenant do that again." PSG Ramos told him.
"She drove earlier, she need to rest." As he said that, he quickly went to driver seat.
Nagkatinginan kami nina Atty. Vic.
"Anong meron sa inyo ng pangulo?" Kung kumakain ako, malamang nabilaukan ako sa tanong nila.
"You should be the one who serve the president but it's like you're the one who been serve by our president... by our commander in chief." our Captain told me.
I just looked down.
"Well, wala naman problema kung magkadevelopan kayo... single na siya at ikaw alam ko wala ka ring boyfriend." dagdag pa ni Atty. Vic.
"Lieutenant!" pagtawag ng pangulo.
"Sige na, punatahan mo na... baka ma badtrip na naman." pabirong sabi nila.
Sumakay naman na ako sa front seat.
"Ang tagal mo ah! When you're talking with boys, it take you a thounsad years with them." Para bang nagrereklamo siya.
Kanina ang bait, may pa pizza pa pero ngayon mukhang galit na naman.
"Sorry, sir." I excused and I looked outside the window.
Patago kong sinusulyapan ang pangulo habang nagmamaneho siya.
Iba ang dating kapag hawak niya ang manibela at nagmamaneho, yung mata niyang nakatutok sa daan at ang napaka tangis niyang ilong sa side view.
