Ikaw?
Nagulat na lang ako nung makita kong nandun siya at may kasama siyang girl. I mean the girl is not Diane and...
Hey! Lumapit yung girl sa amin ni Jamir. Zara Andrews, younger sister of Zen. You guys are?
Jamir. An E.F.S guy. Nagshake hands naman sila. She's Jara by the way.
Hi Jara. Tumingin siya sa akin tapos binalik niya nag tingin niya kay Jamir. So your an E.F.S? Welcome aboard!
Jamir, this is Zen from class C-II, our batch mate.
Hey. Nice meeting you.
Nagshake hands naman sila. Tapos biglang tumingin sa akin si Zen at nagsmile rin naman siya, so as return I smiled back. Inaamin ko naiilang ako. Who would expect them here right? Who would expect him here pa sa favorite place ko.
Why not let's have some snack together so we could know more facts. Nagnod naman kami lahat and nagagree na kakain sabay-sabay. So, where are we eating?
Kate's Place.
You love eating at Kate's Place? Kuya loves that resto! I think you just found your soulmate nice guy!
Pagkasabi niya nung soulmate word, I felt something heat rushing inot my spine. I dont know why and I don't know what was it basta na feel ko na lang. Dumeretsyo na nga kami dun sa place and as expected madami-dami ang tao dun dahil masarap naman talaga ang food. Dahil walang ibang table naupo kami dun sa saktong for four persons lang.
So, Jamir tell us about you.
Okay then. I was born at Italy on the 24th of November and my mom died after giving birth to me.
Oh! I'm sorry about that.
No, it's perfectly okay. It was way way back. Anyway, when I was 6, dad decided to transfer at Jersey City so we could be with our relatives. Unfortunately, dad died when I was 7 exactly his birthday. Tragic huh? But I accepted things smoothly.
Your life is so sad.
Way back yeah, but when I entered E.F.S it was all good now especially I'm here with you guys. My first friends.
So, do you have a place to live in while you here?
Yes, it still belongs to the E.F.S sisters. Actually I've been here 2 weeks already so I know the directions and all.
Nung dumating na yung food namin ganun parin, naguusap si Zara and Jamir about Italy and all. Tahimik lang naman kami ni Zen. Ewan ko pero talagang ilang ako lalo na magkatapat pa kaming dalawa sa table.
Hey Zen, Jara. Parehing kaming tumingin kay Jamir. Orange?
I'm allergic to orange.
Sabay naming sinabi yun. Impossible naman na ginaya nya ako or vice-versa dahil di naman namin pinagusapan yun. Nagkatinginan lang kami that time at walang masabi.
Really? You are allergic to oranges? Way back I thought my brother was the only one who had that allergy but now I don't think his AB-normal anymore cause you have one too.
What's the side effects when you eat one?
I get this itchy red spots all over my body and it's-
..shaped like hearts.
Di ko inexpect na same pa kami ng symptoms. Nagulat talaga ako. We both love to eat at Kate's Place tapos we both are allergic to orange and we have same symptoms pa. How weird is that?!
Nung pagkatapos namin kumain eh may na suggest na fact si Zara.
Kuya, why not ihatid mo na sila Jamir at Jara cause my friend is here already, sabay na lang ako sa kanya.
Okay then.
Di na kami umangal nun dahil gabi narin at madalan ang cab sa place na yun dahil they protect the privacy of the place kaya exclusive lang siya para dun sa mga may car at di rin ako masusundo ni Kuya Jun kasi magpaayos raw siya ng wheels.
Nung pagsakay namin nasa likod ako at yeah, front sit si Jamir. Nagkukwentuhan namain sila ni Zen about sports and all. At dun ko lang nalaman na dapat ay magvavarsity pala si Zen sa basketball pero ayaw niya dahil studies first ang drama.
Here we go. Thanks Zen. Jara, why not transfer here at the front.
Bumaba naman na si Jamir at pinagbuksan ako ng pinto sa likod. Nagsmile naman siya sa akin at before ako pumasok..
Thanks! Thanks for a great day.
Nagsmile ako pabalik at sumakay na. Habang nasa highway na kami tahimik parin. Walang gusto magsalita. Actually gusto kong itanong kung totoo ba talaga yung kanina pero it would be very silly I know.
Jara. Nagulat ako pagsabi niya ng pangalan ko. How did you know about the Amore Fountain?
Ang Amore Fountain is kung saan kami nagkita kanina. Yun ang pangalan dahil yung fountain eh shaped like heart tapos doon pumunta yung mga tao kung gusto nila magwish about things.
I don't know. I just remembered that when I was walking alone there last year, my feet brought me there. How about you?
Same as yours.
This is so getting into my nerves. I mean we both love the same resto and we both have the same allergies. Don't tell me it also rained on the you were born? Napatigil siya sa pagdradrive at pinark niya doon sa sideway. Bakit ka tumigil?
It rained on the day you were born?
Yeah. Don't tell me it also rained-
Yes. I was born on the 21st of June.
Thank God! 29th of August.
After nun, nagdrive na siya ulit. At least alam kong di kami twins or what. Ganun kasi sa movies dba? They both have same allergies, favorites tapos umulan pa sa day kung kelan pinanganak. At least we both have different birthdays. Tsaka I know impossible yun mangyari kasi we both have mothers at for sure naman magkaiba sila.
Pero if ganun nga, bakit kami magkapareho ng allergies, favorites and yung ibang stuffs. This couldn't be fate or what.
Dumating na kami sa bahay nun. Nakita narin ako ni Kuya Jun kaya lumabas siya at pinagbuksan ako ng door.
Thanks for the ride and for the time.
Pababa na sana ako nun sa car pero bigla na lang niya ako hinawakan sa kamay kaya napatingin ako.
We could be friends right?
