“A-Asan tayo pupunta?” Tanong ni Valouise.
“I thought you're going to the market?” Bylur's voice was full of sarcasm, “But you lied and met with Verne? Alone, Valouise!
“V-Verne's my friend a-and mag-go-grocery naman talaga a-ako p-pagkatapos ng m-meeting namin eh!” Valouise defended herself.
“Meeting or flirting?” Bylur asked and turned to see Valouise straightly to her eyes.
“A-Ano ba problema m-mo? At teka, bakit ang dami mong tanong? Nagseselos ka ba?” Instead of answering him, she asked.
“Jealous? Why would I be jealous when I know you're mine?” Bylur answered her sarcastically. Valouise doesn't know why but she stopped breathing, her heartbeat skipped beats. Thousands of butterflies flew on her chest.
“Earth to my Val!” pag-pukaw ni Bylur nang mapagtantong natameme ang dalaga. He just found himself chuckling because of Valouise reaction.
“Let's go to the supermarket for some grocery. Seatbelt!” Bago pa man nakabawi sa kanyang tamang huwesyo ay wala sa sariling nagseatbelt sya at patuloy parin n'yang iniisip ang sinabi ng dyos. From stopped heartbeats to irregular heartbeats. Ang lakas ng kabog ng dibdib nya na para bang nakikipagkarera ito sa umaandar na kotse. She didn't heard anything else but only her own heartbeat.
She just got back to her senses when they arrived in the supermarket. Lalabas na sana s'ya ngunit nagtaka s'yang lumabas din si Bylur at pinagbuksan sya ng pinto.
“I'll buy groceries with you,” Sa simpling mga salita na iyon ay kinilig ng subra si Valouise. She don't know why but that seems so romantic and sweet for her. She will buy groceries with Bylur.
Si Bylur na mismo ang kumuha ng pushcart, hindi lang isa kundi dalawang pushcart na ikinagulat lalo ni Valouise.
“Bakit dalawa?” tanong nya.
“Buy all you want, for sure you would want to buy lots.” Seryosong sagot ni Bylur na nagpakunot ng mukha ni Valouise.
“I would want to if I have much money but my money has limit, hindi ako katulad mo. I haven't opened my flower shop which I missed a lot and also, I haven't publish any book right now so wala akong income. Yung savings ko nalang ang meron ako—”
“Too much words. Who said you will pay?” Taas kilay na sambit ni Bylur.
“Ikaw magbabayad?” parang nabuhayan si Valouise sa narinig. Ayos na yun, hindi nya magagastos ang savings nya.
“Yeah, so let's go before they will close up!” sagot ni Bylur at nauna nang maglakad papasok. Patalon-talon namang sumunod si Valouise.
Nauna silang pumunta sa canned goods area at iba pang preservative foods. Bumili sila ng pangunahing pangangailangan, mga gamit para sa banyo at kusina at pagkain mismo. They bought anything that Valouise could think what they need— she need. They brought meats, vegetable, fruits and snacks like junkfoods, biscuits, all Valouise's favorite snacks, they bought it all.
“Tama na siguro 'yan?” tanong ni Valouise kay Bylur na s'yang nagtutulak ng dalawang pushcart na ngayon malapit nang mapuno.
“Do you have anything else you want to add here?” tanong naman ni Bylur. Valouise thought about it for some seconds until she realized she wanted some wine also.
“Isa nalang,” sagot ni Valouise.
“Okay, let's get it.” Then they went to the wine stalls.
Hindi makapagdesisyon si Valouise kung ano ang bibilhin nya, it's either Full-Bodied Red Wine of Penfolds or the Rosé Wine of Marchesi Antinori. Both are her favorite. It taste so luxurious not just its taste but also its prices. Masarap ang mga wine na iyon pero subrang mahal naman.
“What are you doing? Get what you want already.” Bylur whispered in her ears. Doon na laman nya napagtanto na nakapatong sa balikat nya ang mukha ng binata. Their face was so close that in just one move their lips might met.
“N-Nagdadalawang isip k-kasi ako, i like this two brands of wine.” Sagot ni Valouise habang tinuturo ang dalawang bote ng maiinom.
Before she argues, Bylur got the two wines, not just one bottle each, three bottles of each type. Napanganga si Valouise sa ginawa ng binata.
“N-No! Masyadong mahal tapos ang—”
“Mas mahal kita!” Said Bylur then went his way to the counter, leaving Valouise behind who wants to jump because of those tickling butterflies in her chest. Tanginang 'to, kung hindi kalang pogi eh.
