We arrived in London. We'll be here for 5 days and 4 nights. Excited si Maui dahil matagal na niyang gustong makapunta rito. She always tells me about her dream to ride the London Eye. Right now, she's out on a tour with her tourist.
May sari-sarili kaming kwarto na napakalaki. It's an Apart-Hotel here in Bankside. Sinubukan kong tawagan si Mommy para mangamusta pero hindi siya sumasagot. Busy ata sa work.
I lay on the bed in my white top and jeans. Nag-iisip ako kung anong pwedeng gawin. I stand up to wear my green trench coat and sneakers. Kinuha ko rin ang sling bag ko. I decided to go out.
Pagdating ko sa lobby, nakita kong palabas si Henry ng hotel. He's wearing a black turtleneck over a grey wool coat, black jeans, and leather shoes. Tumakbo ako para habulin siya.
"Saan ka pupunta?"
"Bloody hell."
He looks up, then at me. His brows furrows and he sighed. "A stroll." Binalik niya ang tingin sa phone. "Can I come?" Tanong ko. He looks back at me. Hindi siya sumagot at nagsimulang maglakad. Sumunod naman ako sa kanya.

"Omg, dito ka pupunta? Look at all these flowers!" I squealed in excitement. We're at a flower market in London and good heavens, the flowers are beautiful here. Naglakad-lakad kami sa market.
"What happened to the guy?" he suddenly asked. "What guy?" He didn't respond and only blinked. "If you're talking about Nathan, we're just friends now."
"Why?"
"Because I li–"
I stopped there. Tumaas ang kilay niya sa pagtigil ko. "Because we're better off as friends." Sabi ko at ngumiti. He gave a brief nod. "Because I like you." is what I was about to say. Mapapaamin pa ako ng wala sa oras.
I gasped. Napahinto ako sa paglalakad nang makita ko ang sunflowers.
"Quick. Bato bato pik!"
"Para saan—"
Nabigla siya pero naglabas pa rin ng papel. Gunting naman ang akin. I laughed in victory and pretended to cut his hand with my fingers. "Para diyan." Turo ko sa sunflower. "I'd like you to get me a sunflower." Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay.
"And in return I get?"
"Natalo ka kaya."
He narrows his eyes while I put on an evil smirk. Kumuha siya ng sunflower at inabot sa vendor. "This one, please." The evil smile on my face disappeared. Wait. "You're actually getting it?" Hindi niya ako sinagot at nagbayad. "Thank you." He takes the sunflower and faces me. Hindi ko akalain na bibilhin niya talaga. "4 rounds." He hands me the sunflower. I look at it, then at him. Ngumiti ako at tinanggap ito, "Game."
"Bato bato pik!"
"Hah."
"Darn it."
He won this round. "That." He points at the yellow tulip. "You want a tulip?" I ask, and he nods once. Binili ko ang bulaklak at inabot sa kanya.
"Hold it."
"Huh?"
"Bato bato pik."
He started the second round. Nanalo nanaman siya. A smirk appeared on his face. "Gardenias." He pointed. I frown while paying for the flower.
