Hatid
A music was filling the car while Ace was driving down the street. It was a cold and windy night. The streets and people here were still alive and kicking. Buhay na buhay pa ang mga ilaw kahit na madaling araw na.
It was just like 8 in the evening. Parang gabi lang at patulog palang ang lahat. When in this time in province, everyone was asleep, already dreaming and snoring.
Hiraya boulevard will always be alive, even at nighttime.
"I'm sorry for the way I acted earlier. I just got pissed." He suddenly said,
Ever since we got in his car, hindi pa rin nawala ang inis sa mukha niya. Though, I understand him.
"You don't have to apologize. You did nothing wrong. Siya nga 'tong mali." Sinabi ko.
That man really has the audacity to act like that. He can't even take a rejection. Kung hindi pa dumating si Ace, baka nabugbog ko na 'yon do'n. Dumagdag pa sa tapang ko yung mga nainom ko kanina.
"Sorry for not being there in time. I promise not to do that again."
"It's okay. I'm glad na dumating ka pa rin. That's what matters the most." I said.
"Still, sorry." Pagsosorry niya pa.
I sighed, looking at him, "Wala ka ngang kasalanan, kulit mo naman Uno."
He chuckled at what I said.
"By the way, what's with Uno? Kanina mo pa ako tinatawag niyan simula nung bumalik kami sa table." He asked.
Unti-unti namang nanlaki ang mga mata ko ng marealize ko. Jusmiyo. Wala pa akong balak sabihin 'yon sa kanya. Code name nga lang tapos nasasabi ko na pala?
What the hale is this? What behavior is this kerengkeng na Lopez?
"A nickname for you. Uno, numero uno gano'n." Pag-eexplain ko.
Bahala na. 'Wag nang itago, tago-tago pa daming alam.
"Uno, it's creative. You're good at creating nicknames huh?" Sabi niya pa.
"'Di naman." I looked outside.
Pasimple akong huminga ng malalim para pigilan ang kilig na nararamdaman. Para akong tangang nakangiti sa tabi habang nakasandal sa may bintana. I kept hiding my smile from him, na siya rin naman ang may kagagawan.
"I can see your smile from here baby." Bigla niyang sabi, mararamdaman mo ang ngisi.
