Their Entangled Lives (On-going)

20. Inlove

I woke up early with a smile on my face, I still can't believe what happened yesterday. It was so damn romantic that I couldn't even stop thinking about it.

My gosh! I looked like a teenage girl obsessing with his ultimate crush. I'm doomed.

Ugh. Whatever!

I decided to get up and do my morning routine. Good thing it's just six in the morning and I still have two hours before my class starts kaya hindi ko kailangang magmadali.

After an hour, I'm already off to go. As I grabbed my bag and car key, my phone suddenly beeped. Agad nangunot ang noo ko nang makitang unknown number ang nag-text. Who would've text me at this hour? It's just 7:00 a.m!

From: Unknown number

Ma'am, nandito na po ako sa labas ng bahay niyo.
-Grab

Grab? But I didn't book a Grab since my car is doing fine naman.

Wrong number, maybe? Ugh. Whatever! Hindi ko na lang ito pinansin at inisip na lang na na-wrong send nga ito.

I was about to enter my car when my phone beeped again.

Agh! Not again!

Inis kong kinuha ito sa loob ng bag para basahin ang kung ano mang nilalaman ng mensahe.

Lalo akong nainis nang makitang ito na naman ang nag-text. This time, may pangalan ko na. Trini-trip ba nila ako? Ang aga aga.

From: Unknown number

Ma'am Selena, asa'n na po kayo?
-

Ugh. Sino ba 'to?!

I quickly stormed out of the garage to see the 'grab driver' and it turned out to be..

Gab.

Nakasandal siya sa pickup truck niya. He look devilishly handsome while smiling at me. He's wearing his usual get up, a slim-fit white long-sleeve where he rolled the cuff and a denim jeans.

Simple lang naman ang suot niya pero bakit ang gandang tingnan sa kaniya? Bagay na bagay.

Napatawa naman ako ng mapadako ang tingin ko sa kaniyang sasakyan. Lumang-luma na iyon pero kakatwang bumagay ito sa aking paningin na tila nadala ng presensya ni Gab.

"Good morning, love. I'll be your Grab driver for today." Walang kasing tamis ang ngiti at bati nito.

Kay sarap sa pandinig.

"Good morning. I think I didn't book a Grab, eh?" I crossed my arms trying to look like a strict mom.

"It's a special service coming from your love." He winked at me as he guide from going inside the car.

This car gives me familiar vibes, it's like I've been here for a long time. It's like I've long knew every side of this pickup truck. I wonder why?

My thoughts stopped from wandering when Gab started the car. He then took my left hand and intertwined it with his. It made my heart skip a beat. I've never done this before.

"Now that I-I'm y-your g-girl already, will you let me drive your car?" Damn, I find it hard to say the 'I'm your girl' part!

Up until now, it still feel surreal.

"I told you already, I don't let a girl drive." Bahagya siyang humarap sa gawi ko, nakita ko tuloy kung gaano siya ka-seryoso sa sinabi niya.

"But why? I mean I know how to drive naman, eh." giit ko pa.

Hindi ko talaga maintindihan kung bakit ayaw niyang hayaan akong i-drive ang kaniyang sasakyan. Gano'n ba ito ka-importante sa kaniya? Come to think of it, talagang importante nga ito dito judging from how he still value and use this instead of brand new cars.
