First Love Of May

08

"Here's your coffee po! Enjoy!"

Namumungay pa din ang mga mata kong nakatingin kay Zyle. He wake up early in the morning just to buy a coffee in a new cafe shop near his condo. I can't believe him, he is so impossible! Nagawa pa niyang magwink sa nagserve.

"This is for you," he gave me the mug with a heart shape. "And this is for me."

"Really? Just really?" I said as I stir the coffee. Nawala na yung heart kaya napasimangot ito sa akin.

May pa heart heart pa siyang nalalaman.

"We did not take picture of it," he pouted.

"Hindi ko alam na ang anak pala ng Bise Presidente ay masyadong sentimental." I shrugged.

Tumaas ang kilay nito. "I'm really not, but... if it's you, I could treasure everything. Kahit yung ginamit mo pang tissue 'yan."

I almost puked because of that. How could he tell me that? Nasa harapan kami ng table paano na lang kung may sipon 'yon o dura!? Yuck! I slightly shiver by the thought of him keeping that, he'll freaking get a virus!

"Ang dugyot mo!" Nandidiri kong sabi at uminom ng kape.

"Bakit? Trip, trip lang, Lia!" he laughed and took a bite in his bread.

Sabay kaming napasandal sa upuan at parehong tinitigan ang mga tao at sasakyan na na dumadaan sa harap ng cafe. We sat outside the coffee shop, breathing the air of the city. The sun was also coming out, slowly reflecting the trees.

Hindi pa ako nakaligo at nakasuot lang ng paired white jacket and jogging pants. Nakatali pa ang buhok ko pataas dahil sa pagmamadali. I looked so pale, good thing, I had a chance to brush my teeth.

"Say ah, Selina." Itinapat nito ang tinapay sa bibig ko.

I rolled my eyes and eventually opened my mouth. "Ba't ganiyan 'yung lasa!?"

"What? It's good kaya." natatawa pa niyang saad.

"Ayoko na niyan!" I told him but still tried to chew the bread. This is my first time tasting it and it's so weird. "Pahinga na lang yung pink na bread."

Binigay niya 'yong isang plate sa akin. Natagalan pa kami roon dahil nawili kami sa view, ang lakas maka Italy vibes. One day, I hope I can go that country. It has the beauty that no one can have, the feeling of home that not any other country can give to me.

Inabot nila ang bills sa kaniya kaya dumukwang ako upang makita 'yon. My eyes immediately watered because of how expensive the bread and coffee is! Kung pwede lang magpunta na lang ako ng bakery shop tapos doon na bumili ay gagawin ko!

"Dito ka nga, baka mabangga ka pa diyan," pinagpalit ni Zyle ang pwesto namin habang naglalakad.

Sinimangutan ko lang siya. "Anong akala mo sa akin? Ipapahamak ko sarili ko? Duh!"

"Hindi mo nga ipapahamak sarili mo pero marami ng tarantado ngayon." pananalita niya.

"Parang 'yung nangyari yesterday?" I asked.

Namatay 'yung tao na 'yon habang naglalakad lang dahil sa driver na lasing. Hindi man niya 'yon sinasadya but he's at fault and the one to blame for taking a life he shouldn't did. We should really be careful in driving and in walking because this is not always depend on us but to the people around us.

"Yes." he nod as he held my hand to cross the street. "And as much as possible, I never want to take my eyes of you."

"B-bakit naman?" I slanted my hand and covered my eyes to see him because the sun was shining too much.
