["Baby you ate na?"]

It was Jai's text. Simula noong sinagot niya si Jai ay lagi na itong mas madalas na nag-tetext sa kaniya. At ginagaya pa kung paano siya magsalita.

"Yes, I did na. You?"

["Not yet. Be ready at seven. I'll pick you up."]

"Ha?! Wait lang! I'm gonna shower. What's the emergency?"

["Not really an emergency. I'm gonna take you out."]

"Is this a date? Because I'm nervous."

["Baket?"]

"Nothing. I'm gonna shower na."

Inayos niya ang sarili pagkatapos maligo. Did a simple night makeup and picked a knee-length off shoulder dress. She wanted to wear something semi-formal and simple yet elegant. She knows Jai, he will always love anything she wears.

At nang makarating na nga si Jai sa kanila ay pinicturan pa sila ng mommy ni Mona. Saying that it goes to the memories. He was looking handsome.

Napansin nalang ni Mona sa sarili na nasa harap sila ng isang kilalang restaurant. Sa labas palang ay alam ng parang mamahalin dito.

Hinawakan ni Jai ang kamay ni Mona at naglakad ng sabay.

"Good evening maam and sir. This way." Sabi nung babae.

Sinundan nilang dalawa yung lalaki at napaupo sila sa isang table na may magandang view sa labas. The ambiance felt romantic.

Jai even rushed to move a chair for her. It was so sweet and gentleman of him.

Napapangiti si Mona. Hindi siya makatingin kay Jai.

"Alam kong nakakatawa ako Mona pero may dumi ba ako sa mukha? Why are you laughing?"

"Hindi kasi. I just...you know. You're so sweet. Thank you for this." She smiled.

"This is our first official date. And I want it to be perfect for you. For us." Sagot ni Jai. He held her hand.

He is really looking passionate about it. He is happy.

They ordered a set of three courses. Each one being so attractive and delicious. Nag-tititingin tingin siya sa itsura ng buong restaurant at inisip kapag halimbawang siya ay nakapagpatayo ng sariling restaurant.

"Hula ko usto mo ng ganto. Yung restaurant."

"Siguro hindi gantong restaurant na may class. Okay na sa akin kahit dine in na afford ng marami." Aniya. "How 'bout you?"

"Businessman? CEO? Kahit ano." Sagot niya.

"Yun mismo yung dream job mo?"

"Hindi talaga ako nangangarap ng kung ano eh. Gusto ko lang mabuhay ng masaya at komportable. Gusto ko masaya ang mga anak ko. Gusto ko masaya tayo pag nagkapamilya tayo. Ganon. Siguro dream job ko, maging mabuting ama at asawa."

"O-Our family?" She asked.

Jai never did anything before to make her stare at him like this for so long. Para sa kaniya ay lalong gumwapo si Jai sa kanyang paningin.

"I am recently just been noticed by a famous someone." Sabi ni Mona habang naghihiwa ng steak.

"Sinong someone?"

"High profile. Janella Freya." She answered.

Bigla-bigla na lamang na nasamid si Jai sa kaniyang iniinom na tubig.
