"When The First Snow Falls, I Love You Orianna"
IV.
"Until what time?"
"Di ko pa alam e."
"I'll pick you up."
Pinasok ko sa mustard tote bag ko yung journal ko at power bank.I look at the mirror for the last time before I go out the condo.
Plain white fitted crop top, white jeans, gray rubber shoes.
I got my keys on my mini table and finally went out.
"No na.I'll bring my car." I answered Markus.Its 7am and Markus is already in his 3hour Differential Calculus class.Imagine 3 hours na nagmamath ka?No thank you.
Kung hindi pa sya tumawag hindi pa ko magigising.
"You sure?Pwede naman akong mag-cut.Are you comfortable driving?"
"Malapit lang naman yung ospital." I said while waiting for the elevator.
"Ang mas hindi comfortable yung mag-cut ka for me." I added.
He chuckled.
"I'll ask Nieves to drive you sa Hospital," he said still uncomfortable with the thought of me driving.
I lost my twin sister in a car accident before I entered the University.Although I'm not the driver, I still feel uncomfortable being inside a car the first year, moreso driving.Kaya nasanay sila Markus magtake turns pag kailangan ko ng sasakyan.But last year I started driving na paunti unti.
"Nieves is probably still asleep." I check the time.
"Si Vi nalang," he tried.
"Prosecutor's Office." I said.
"Class mo na, okay lang ko." I assured him.
He sighed.
"Text me pag paalis ka na ng tower mo.And text me when you arrive sa hospital.Or text me kung nagbago isip mo magdrive, I'll go there and fetch you." he said sunod sunod.I smiled.
Good heavens, kung parating na po ang magiging girlfriend ni Markus, pakiligaw po muna saglit.Malaki pa ang pakinabang nya sa buhay ko.Salamat po.
Charot.
"May class ka nga.Kulit." I said.
"Crush ako ng prof," he countered.This arrogant spermcell!
"Hah." I said and ended the call.
"Here goes nothing." I said and exhaled.I texted Markus na paalis na ko before I revved the engine.
Maaga akong pumunta ng ospital dahil hindi kami nakapag-usap kung anong oras magkikita ni Lucas dahil hinila ako bigla ni Markus.Ayoko naman na ako pa ang antayin.
At wala sa college namin ang nalilate 'no.
Pero pano kung hindi ako sinipot?
I counted the people entering and exiting the revolving door.Three hours na kong nasa lobby wala padin yung kulot.
I pouted when I felt my stomach churning.I should've pulled over starbucks before heading here.
"Oy." Markus chatted.
I took a selfie while pouting and send it with sad emoji.
"Wala pa yung date ko." I said.
"Tss," he replied fast.I chuckled.Sungit.
"I'm hungry na." Reklamo ko before ko binaba yung phone dahil sawakas nakita ko na si Lucas.
Tumayo ako when I saw him saw me.
