My Silver Lining

Surprise

JEMA'S POV

Shit!

Shit shit shit!

I'm screwed.

I'm trying to find a way to open this lock pero ayaw pa rin.

Time is running out.

I am so dead.

Patuloy pa rin ako sa ginagawa ko. I need to pick this lock ASAP kung hindi malalagutan talaga ako.

Halos mapatalon naman ako nang biglang may nagsalita sa likod ko.

"What do you think you're doing?"

Fuck.

There's no point in lying now.

"Uhm I..I was trying to uhhh pick the lock" I said nervously.

"Feel mo ba uubra yang ginagawa mo?"

"At least I tried" I answered in a defeated voice.

"And are you gonna tell me how in the world you managed to lock yourself out of your car?" Deanna said with one eyebrow raised at me.

"Eh kasi nagmamadali ako kaninang umakyat ng condo at kunin yung socks ko" I said defensively.

"Are you even supposed to be here alone? Diba dapat may kasama ka palagi? You didn't even answer my calls"

"No. I'm sorry Langga. Naiwan ko din kasi sa loob ng car yung phone ko"

Paawa effect nalang ako. Wala akong lusot dito.

"I was so worried! My god Lalang! Anong oras na! I almost called the police. Buti nalang naiisipan ko munang i-check dito"

Nalagutan na nga. Sa kadami daming panahon, ngayon pa talaga ako pumalpak.

"Sorry na. Kukunin ko lang naman talaga yung socks ko eh. Kailangan ko kasi para bukas" malambing kong sabi.

"Halos mamatay ako sa nerbyos kanina alam mo ba yun?" medyo galit pa rin ang boses ni Deanna.

"Eeyyy sorry na nga. Takot din kasi akong magpasama sayo kasi galit ka sakin eh" sabay hug sa kanya.

"Eh kahit nag update ka nalang kung nasaan ka diba?!"

"Di ka naman nag rereply eh. Sorry na nga. Bati na tayo pleeeaaase!"

"Hayyy basta wag mo na uulitin ha. Aatakihin ako sa puso eh"

Ayiieeee di nya ako matiis.

"Di na po hehe"

Tumawag na ng serviceman si Deanna para ma open yung sasakyan ko.

"Let's go home na. I cooked you something. Peace offering sana" sabi ni Deanna.

"Awe. I actually bought some ingredients too. I was gonna cook you some Ramen. Peace offering din hehe"

So we both went back to Deanna's condo in eachs other's cars.

Sya ang nauna at sumunod ako sa sasakyan ko.

Agad naman akong nagluto ng Ramen nya. She heated up the chicken wings sa microwave and we had dinner in the balcony.

This night couldn't get any more perfect.
