It's already quarter to 7pm, direk already told us to take our dinner.

Hinahanap ko si Goma but he is nowhere to find.

I saw his assistant and immediately asked her,

"Nakita mo ba si Gomz?"

"Uhm Ms. Dawn, pinapasabi po si Sr. Richard pumunta nalang po kayo sa taas. Yung room pa sa kanan."

"Okay. Thank you! Kain ka na."

Pinuntahan ko yung room na sinasabi niya. As I open the door, I guess nobody is in here. Pinagloloko ba ko nung mokong na yun.

Seconds later, biglang umilaw yung panel light followed by the light bulb inside.

There he is. Standing right beside the foldable table with his sweetest smile.

"Happy Valentines, Taleon." he greets

"Ano nanaman 'to?" I didn't realize I'm already teary eyed.

I walk towards him and hug him. "Thank you, Gomz!" I whispered.

Pinaupo niya muna ako bago siya umupo. Gentleman.

"Vitter Sweet ba Valentine's day mo?" Uhm medyo stalker 'to ah.

"So all this time, iniis-stalk mo ang twitter account ko. Hay nako Goma..."

"What? Oy Taleon wala akong sinasabi!"

"Sige palusot pa Gomez."

"Hindi ako stalk---"

I didn't let him finish his words

"You know what? Let's take a selfie nalang!"

I get my cellphone. I am the one who's holding the cellphone.

He smiles, I smile. Second, he puts his head on my shoulder. Third, still the same position but now he is staring at me. And the rest we took wacky shots.

"Wait. Pakuha nalang tayo ng pic." Luckily somebody goes inside the room.

"Pwede pa picture kami? Thank you!"

She took a photo of us. So decent...

She went outside.

"Gomz, last na talaga. Mag timer tayo."

He ready himself for this shot. His smile is still the same. It's like nothing changed after two decades. He still makes me feel special that no one can do.

I shared one photo of us. I wanted to post it with the caption, "Post Valentine's Dinner. #VitterSweetValentine." but I ended up deleting all the words.
