"...Samantha?" 

"...Marco!" Halos mautal na sabi niya. I think pareho kaming hindi makapaniwala sa nangyari ngayon.

"Kamusta?" She asked sabay lapit sakin habang pareho kaming naglalakad. Hindi ko alam but i find it awkward talking with your ex? I dont know. This feeling creeps me out.

"Masaya naman. Handling a business and, happy." I turned my head for awhile tapos nag-look away din naman agad.

"Ah, halata naman e." Uminom siya sa drink na hawak niya. Nahinto kami dun sa may bandang bartender at sumandal siya. 

"So, kelan ka pa bumalik ng Manila?" I asked kahit alam ko kung kelan pa, remember when mon told me that? Yun.

"Ano ka ba!" Tumawa siya, "Dont talk to me like we're strangers, ok?! Ilang linggo na akong nandito. Actuallly, i met your mom last week and we had a wonderful dinner."

"Ah." I cant say anything. She's taller now than before. She's more feminine unlike noon na may pagkaboyish siya dahil nahawa ng barkada namin nung college, tsaka, she smiles brighter now. 

But Wendy's still the one. (:

"So, balita ko, you owned this for now, i thought i wont meet you here. What a luck!" Sabi niya sakin.

"Yep. I was given this as a gift from my father, besides life's boring without doing anything. *smirks*" Tumango lang siya sa sinabi ko.  

"That's nice! I guess hindi na masasayang ang buhay mo, finally!" Please note that she stated it with sarcasm. Ewan ko kung bakit. Siguro nga naisip niyang nagsayang lang ako ng buhay sa kanya, before? Haha! That's past, c'mon!

"Hope so. Ikaw? Bakit ka bumalik?" I suddenly asked. Nilapag niya yung baso niya sa gilid at humarap ulet. Naalala ko kasi nun na nakipagbreak siya sakin dahil sa walang kwentang dahilan na pagpunta niya sa ibang bansa. Kesyo, magma-migrate siya or what. 

"Hmmm. Wala lang, nabobored na ako sa ibang bansa e, puro tisoy nakikita ko. Bakit mo natanong? Nanghihinayang ka ba?" I gulped for what she said, "JOKE!" pahabol niya.

"You're really crazy." I said with sarcasm.
