As soon as Unique disappeared, Yvon squealed like crazy! Yvon covered her face with a pillow at doon nagtili tili.
"Tangina."
"Patay siya pero bakit parang iba yung naramdaman ko noong hinalikan niya ako sa noo?!"
"Ambilis nung heartbeat ko, this is not normal!"
"Oh My Gee! Ba't niya ako ginanon? OhMayGahd!"
"Kinikilig ako, kinikilig ako, kinikilig ako! Tagos sa buto!"
Lumabas si Yvon sa bahay at nagpahangin sa upuan sa may tapat ng bahay nila.
"Anak," lumabas ang mama niya at tinabihan siya sa bench.
"Anong nanyayari sa iyo? Hindi ka naman ganito kalate matulog."
"Ah, hindi pa po ako inaantok eh."
"Sige na, tulog na."

Sinindi ni Yvon yung kandila at tinabi sa isang tabi na hindi ito matatamaan ng hangin, "g'morning," sabi niya at nginitian si unique.
"Can you go out with me?" tanong ko, "Infinitea?"
"infinitea? ah.."
"Why so sad?"
"wala..."
"OH EDI HALIKA NA!" At hinatak si Unique.
lumayas sila at naginfinitea.
"Two blueberry teas, half sugar."
"Gusto mo ba blueberry, Unique?"
"Yeah."
At umupo sa isang tabi.
"If you aren't comfortable with my question, Unique. Okay lang ah."
"Ah, okay lang Yvon!"
"Why did you commit suicide?"
"I was depressed, my life was going downhill. I didn't want to live anymore and my girlfriend just died. So i shot myself in the head."
"Oh,"
"My girlfriend loves Infinitea. So yeah."
"Oh, i'm sorry."
"We're both dead, so yeah, it's okay."
"Yeah."
"Do you like shopping?" Tanong ni Yvon.
"Nope, but i like shopping books." Respond ni Unique.
"I like shopping clothes."
"Change topic ah, so your name's Unique.."
"Unik. I'll call you that."
"Yvon Pastores, eh?"
"Pastor." And smiled widely.
