Along our way, to Tita Liza and Tito bong's house i saw Tara in the side road.

She’s still beautiful! Walang nagbago. And, I know na mas maganda siya kaysa sa'kin. Hindi ko Sinabihan si Sandro, it’s because I’m afraid na kapag nakita Niya si Tara ay masasaktan nanaman ulit ako.

“Hey! What’s wrong?” he asked

“No--thing!” I answered and he look at me.

“Are you nervous to see my mama meldy?” he asked again

“uh… Syempre, Sino ba Naman Ang Hindi manenerbyos kapag nakita mo Ang isang Imelda Marcos.” Sabi ko and he chuckled. Baka Hindi lang si Ms. Imelda Marcos Ang makikita ko dun, siguro Yung buong angkan Niya nandun din.

“You know what…” he said and it made me look at him.

“I like you…” he said slowly. Totoo ba'to o nanaghinip Lang ako? Omg! Hala! He's also slowly falling in love with me.

“Huh?” Sabi ko parang nalilito pero I admit na kinilig ako nang konti sa sinabi Niya .

He laugh

“ I said I like you” he said while laughing. “You don’t understand?” he asked. RightNow I’m out of words, Hindi pa'ko makapaniwala sa sinabi Niya.

“How.. How about our plan?” I asked. Hindi pwedeng magpadala-dala ako sa sinasabi Niya. He's a Play boy.

“You don’t want me to love you?” he asked

“But…” I said

“It’s just Yes or No, Althea” he said and waiting for my answer.

“Yes, I want you to love me. But, the problem here is that are you serious on loving me?” I asked.

“Depends…” he answered

“So you see? I know you still love Tara at saka Sandro ayokong masaktan Noh! Hindi ako Tanga.” Sabi ko.

“But I’ll try loving you still” he whispered

I ignored it.

I should be careful. Dapat Hindi ako mahulog sa sinasabi Niya and dapat I need to control myself na Hindi maging marupok.

“Lets buy food in 7/11 first. I'm hungry na.” he said and stop the car in a nearest 7/11 store in our way.

“Okay” I said

“Buy everything you want” he said at saka kumindat.

Tas may pa smile pa.


Inner me: Ay leche! Wag kang magpadala Althea! Playboy yan, Hindi Yan seryoso… lumakad kana ng diretso bilisan mo at pumili kana… don’t mind him, control yourself…

Iniratan ko siya at pumili na ng gusto ko

“Suplada!” he whispered.

I didn’t look back. Basta, I should ignore him.

Nakapili na'ko and he’s waiting in the cashier. Binigay ko na din sa kanya Yung mga pinili ko.

 Pagkatapos ay Na punch na sa cashier Yung mga pinamili namin, tas si Sandro na Yung kumuha ng Chocolate ice cream ko sa machine. Umupo na din ako sa  upuan sa labas ng store.

When he already got the ice cream, laking gulat ko nung dinilaan Niya ito.

I glared at him and he notice it. He walks towards me and immediately sit on my side.

“Yes?” he asked with full confidence

“Why did you do that?!” galit na pagsabi ko.

“Oh! I lick your ice cream… By the way, it’s delicious.” mapang-asar na sinabi Niya.

He gave me the ice cream pero diko tinanggap.

“Oh come on” he said. Tinanggap ko nalamang Yung ice cream Wala Naman akong choice eh.

“Kumain kana nga djan!” Sabi ko.

Natahimik na din siya at patuloy na kami sa pagkain. Sobrang sarap ng mga pinili ko at tingin Lang ng tingin si Sandro sa'kin

INNER ME:  Ano Kaya Ang problema ng lalaking 'to?!
