"I'll go first."
Nagpaalam na ako kay Ynna kahit na parang ayaw niya pa akong paalisin. Wala rin naman siyang nagawa nang sabihin kong naghihintay na si Cy sa parking lot. Inasar pa ako ng gaga.
"Sige na nga. Kahiya naman sa'yo. Baka maudlot pa love story niyo." She teasingly laughed.
"Utak mo talaga may ubo." Pabiro kong inirap ang mga mata ko bago umalis.
Hindi ko ulit nakita si LJ dahil parang may current surgery pa siyang sinasalihan. That guy's one of the most trusted residents in their department. Pareho lang kasi sila ni Laurie--mga matatalino at goal setter.
Naabutan ko si Cy na nakatayo sa parking lot, nakatalikod sa akin at may kausap sa phone. I was about to approach him when I heard his chuckle. The chuckle that I never heard before. It's like having a different rhythm, making his heart excited.
"Kailan ka ba uuwi, ha? Bumalik ka na rito." He putted his other hand in the left part of his waste. He looked like he's really happy. Kinikilig pa.
"I miss you, Ayen." He sweetly said before turning off the call.
Napaubo ako nang bigla siyang lumingon sa direksyon ko. He doesn't look bothered about me hearing a conversation with his first love. He doesn't care at all, I guess?
"Kanina ka pa? Hindi mo man lang ako tinawag." He pouted.
Tangina, kailan pa siya naging gwapo sa paningin ko?
I cleared my throat when I noticed that I got lost for a second. I looked at him with my small smile. "Ang bastos naman kung kakausapin kita habang may kausap kang iba?"
"You sounded jealous. Why is that?" Itinaas-baba niya ang kilay niya, nakahalukipkip pa.
"Tara na nga." I ignored his question. Baka barahin niya pa ako kapag nagsalita ako.
If there's a one thing that makes Cy different from CJ, it's that he can get on my nerves without me even noticing that I'm already too rude. I am not that kind of person. I tend to keep my anger for myself, afraid that I might regret spitting nonsense when my temper finally goes down.
But this guy's an exception. I just can't hide it. I can't help but to be too transparent to him. He can see right away if I'm afraid, happy, excited---or even sad. I used to be good at hiding my feelings but he's just way too good that it's like he can even break the wall I built.
"Thank you for today." I bowed a little as I got off from his car.
It's already 8 PM, probably not too late but still not the time to spend coffee at my unit. Hindi niya naman tinanong kung aayain ko ba siya. It looks like he knew that I'm tired.
Tumalikod na ako sa kaniya at nagsimula nang maglakad nang mapatigil dahil sa pagtawag niya. I looked at him with curious eyes.
