"Ano bang Instagram account ng Marco'ng 'yon?"tanung ko sa sarili ko habang kinakalikot ang cellphone ko. Wala akong kasamang mamasyal dahil sa nakaka-badtrip kong parents. May business meeting na inaasikaso ang dalawang 'yon kaya wala akong kasama.
Yayayain ko si Marco na lumabas,wala siyang magagawa,magpapatulong ako sa mommy niya kapag hindi siya sumama sa akin.
Hindi pa ako tumatawag kay Uno dahil alam kong nagpapahinga pa ang isang 'yon. Ala-sinco palang kasi,ang lamig-lamig pa naman rito ngayon kahit patay na ang aircon ko.
Sa wakas naganap ko rin!
_anatashaji: hey bro! can you go out with me? My parents have works so I don't have someone who can join me on shopping.
I immediately got a reply from him. Aba, hanggang umaga ba silang nag-uusap ng pinay na 'yon? Lakas naman ng mata nila at di inaantok.
park_marco: are u asking me on a date?
Yuck! Feeling!
_anatashaji: sorry bro,you're not my type
park_marco: haha okay? what time?
_anatashaji: I'll message you! Tenkyuusomuch
Humiga ulit ako sa kama ko. Naiinip ako,aalis sina mommy ng hotel sa alas otso,magpaparoom service nalang ako dahil tinatamad akong lumabas para kumain. Tinatamad rin naman akong mag-stay dito sa loob ng kwarto.
I decided to call Uno instead,baka naman ay gising na 'yon. Usually he would wake up five in the morning or even before five. Hindi ko lang alam ngayon,I forgot to ask if he still have class. Supposedly bakasyon na ngayon dahil desi-sais na naman.
It didn't took time for him to answer me. Tahimik,pero naririnig ko na parang naglalakad siya kaya umayos ako ng higa. Bakit kasi ang aga kong nagising e puyat ako kagabi?
"Good morning,Uno."mahinang sabi ko. I heard him chuckled. I bit the inside of my cheeks to stifle my smiles. Ang sarap ng morning.
"A very good morning, sunshine."I chuckled at the term. Ang corny.
"Where are you? You woke up so early,"sabi ko pa. Para akong tanga na nagpapagulong-gulong sa kama ko. Kinikilig ako.
I mean,I know to myself that I like him and he also does. I just don't want to assume that much. I know that Uno doesn't see me as his friend from the start. He seems bothered by me and he looked stiffened when I'm around.
I'm not dense,and this isn't my first time feeling this. But I swear,this is the best feeling I've ever feel. Even his voice can make my knees tremble in so much nervousness. And I know he's feeling it too,I know.
"I'm walking to my school."he said in his normal voice. It feels like a music to my ear.
"But it's early,and your school is far from your house."puna ko. Masiyadong maaga para magpunta ng school,ano 'to su-mideline rin siya bilang school guard?
"Yeah, gumising ako ng alas tres,nagluto ng breakfast namin at pumunta ng simbahan. And now I'm going to school to review for the battery exam."his voice soften.
"Don't tire yourself too much,inaabuso mo ang katawan mo e."I told him.
"Kaunting tiis na lang naman e, after the exam, babalik din naman ang routine ko gaya ng dati. It's just I really need to review for it."sobrang lambing ng boses niya.
"Still! Pagkauwi mo,tatawagan mo pa ako, gigising ka para magsimba at magpunta ng school,nagluluto ka pa nga ng breakfast e, isn't it so much abuse for your body,Jose?"nag-aalalang sabi ko. He chuckled.
