The One's We Love

Thinking of You

When Sarah went home to their condominium, PJ is already there.

PJ: Oh why ang tagal mo naman sa ka meeting mo? How much daw aabot yung damage?

S: napakunot nuo sya, ngek Bamboo forgot to tell him how much. Ah eh, dipa nasabi eh, she just said.

PJ: what ? 2 hours kayo nag usap tapos hindi nasabi? aha!!! guapo yang ka meet mo no? huli ka!! PJ was teasing her. ano mag kwento ka?
Why do I sense na hindi ako magpapanggap na BF mo this time ha,? Well matino ba yan? Ano trabaho? baka babaero yan.

Sarah went over to where PJ was seating ang hugged him. Eh Peej, ewan ko ba, iba dating nito eh, di pa ako naka ramdam ng ganito sa mga naka date ko dati. Ewan ko parang ang tagal ko na sya kilala where in hindi naman.

Naku, mukang in love na kapatid ko ah. PJ kiss her head. Then he let Sarah face him. I want to meet this guy okay? I want to find out everything about him, only the best dapat sa baby ko. Sarah just smiled at him , but she's wondering how his brother will react if he found out that they are almost the same age. Naku ano kaya reaction mo PJ pag nalaman mo na yung tatawag sayo na kuya oag nagkataon eh ka age mo .. hay assuming ka naman Asher she told herself silently.

Meanwhile in Bamboo's Condominium

He arrived in his unit, smile plastered on his face. Di na ata matangal ang pagkaka ngiti nya.
Pancho noticed how happy he looked.

P: brad baka mahipan ka hangin dina maalis ngiti mo sige ka. Ano mukang maganda nga yung ka meet mo ah. Nasabi mo naba how much damage nya?

B: oh no, it's okay Pancho, I'll take of the expenses and Call Gerrome tell him Im coming in this Sunday sa ASAP.

P: huh?? akala ko ba you want off? tapos ngayon naman papasok ka? daig mo pa babae sa pag palit ng isip ah.

Bamboo told Pancho about Asher, and about her going to ASAP and bringing food. He told Pancho about the cafe BASH

"Bash" bakit yun ang name? Pancho asked.

Well the"ash " is from Asher, well the B according to her yun daw bagay kasi nga naman imagine if it's another letter.

"Hmmm" Pancho started as if thinking. Hahah naku Bamboo malay mo ikaw yung B heheh.Parang pwedeng pangalan nyong dalawa yan ah .. bash b ash...

That made Bamboo smile. Kinilig ang lolo.:)

That night Bamboo can't sleep. Her face keeps flashing on his mind. He remembers her soft eyes and her lips. Ahh I wonder how it feels to be kissed by those he asked himself. But if there's one thing that has been bothering him is that there's seemed to be a familiarity sa kanilang dalawa as if they are connected in some way.

Well Bamboo can feel the connection, naramdaman nya yun and he is sure that Asher felt it too. He is exicted sa dinner nila tom. He will pursue her. He is decided. Iba yung naramdaman nya kanina para kay Sarah.

Sarah can't sleep that night. A lot of things bothering her. Una how will PJ react if he found out na ka age nya ang possible First boyfriend nya " hay assuming ka Asher bakit nanliligaw ba? Them the factors like sikat ito, baka marami itong mga ibang dina date na babae, hindi nya ganun kakilala si Bamboo in terms of his history pero, why is it that she felt so connected with him in some way.

Bahala na Sarah, it's just dinner. Besides no need to introduce him to PJ unless serious na, hahaha assuming ka talaga Asher, she talks to herself. Serious agad agad eh unang Dinner palang hahaha.

Then she went over again to her match box collection. Bamboo's dimples is like Kuya Francis, nasa isip ni Sarah. Ewan nya pero bakit hanggang ngayon parang yung childhood feeling nya kay Kuya Francis nya eh dipa nawala. Siguro first love never dies. Nasabi nalang nya. Pero baka sakali mapalitan kana nya sa puso ko Kuya Francis as if talking to him.

Well, Asher has been in love with her Kuya Francis , ever since she could remember, ewan nya pero kahit hindi nya ito nakiikita dati at almost 20 years na di nya nakita, binabalik balikan nya yung araw na bibigay ni Kuya Francis nya yung Match Box at yung ibang naramdaman nya ng i hug nya ito para magapasalamat. Si Bamboo na ba ang papalit sayo sa puso ko Kuya Francis.? Nobody knows about how she feels for Francis not even PJ.

She looked at her room, in PJ's unit, in a week's time lilipat na sya sa 2Serendra, malapit lang din ito sa unit ni PJ, pero Sarah is decided na humiwalay kay PJ. Naiisip din kasi nya na habang kasama sya nito, baka mas lalong hindi na ito mag ka girlfriend, gusto din nya na maging masaya at may makama ang kuya nya, at hanggang lagi sya naka dikit dito at lagi rin itong naka tutok sa kanya,hindi nito mapapansin sariling buhay pag ibig, kaya kahit ano pilit ni PJ na duon lang sya mag stay ay kumuha sya ng sarili nyang unit.

Then she took off her polo and looks at herself at the mirror. Only wearing her bra and shorts, she runs finger into her long scar at her right side. She suddenly feel teary eyes when she remembers her days as she compete in car racing and the time that PJ made her promise not to race again.

She knows she still wants too but she promised not too again. She didn't tell Bamboo about her racing hobby and her almost near death accident. Ewan nya but she thinks she can never share to any other man yung story about that 3 race cars match box kasi it will always be just between her and Francis.

Thursday June 17,2015

Bamboo woke up early. Heis feeling light and happy. He is exicted sa dinner nila ni Asher

He went on to his usual routine. While he and Pancho is inside his car ( the SUV is being repaired) he saw some papers.

B: chico what are this? referring to the papers he saw at the back seat.

C: oh yan ba, yung details ng mga gagawin sa SUV at yung estimates.

B:oh okay he just said while checking the papers, He saw a familiar name on the letter head/receipts: Proprietor : Piolo Alexander Tua Jr. " oh I hope this is Alex" Bamboo was hoping that the owner is his long time friend whom he hasn't seen in 20 years.

Haha he went remember the time na paalis na ito at nag bonding sila sa house nito, sila nina Rico at Ira.

B: chico, did you see the owner of the the shop? how old is he?

C: mukang bata pa naman eh, siguro mga nasa 30 pataas lang, bakit?

B: hmm no, coz I used to have a friend with the same name that I haven't seen in 20 years. When you pick up the SUV I'll go with you .

Meanwhile in Sarah's side;

Sarah is as usual busy on last minute details.
She told her staff na they can have the afternoon off. She is gonna arranged BASH for her dinner with Bamboo. She needs to prepare the food too. And change pa so she asked some staff to prepare/ cut some ingredients she will use later.

It's already almost lunch time, she was just resting on the same booth where she and Bamboo sat last night.

"Ok, Sarah, she started to talk to herself, if he pursues you, if Bamboo pursue you, give him a chance, malay mo sya na papalit kay Francis sa puso mo, besides sabi mo never mo pa ulit naramdaman yung naramdaman mo kagabi sa kanya "

Sarah can only sigh. Bakit ba kasi ganun nalang naramdaman nya kay Francis noon, akala nya crush lang nya kaibigan ng kuya nya, eh 8 years old lang sya, pero kahit nag tagal at nag teen ager sya dipa rin nya ito nakalimutan. Pati tuwing nakikipag date sya hinahanap nya sa ka date nya yung feeling na naramdaman nya nun kay Francis pero wala ni isa until last night kay Bamboo. May iba sya na feel..
