"Namumutla ka eh. Anyway, I just came by to remind you about the dinner tomorrow. Spend your dinner with us. Anniversary namin tomorrow so I will not take a no."

Walang magawa na tumango ako. I wanted to forget what happened last night.


Jan's Point of View


"You were not listening to me."

Wala sa loob na napabalik ang tingin ko kay Paulo. We are having dinner after overtime. He said we should rush this work tonight. Buti naman hindi inabot ng 10 pm. Its only 7 PM.

"I—I am sorry. Ano ngang sabi mo?" tanong ko na ibinalik ang atensyon ko sa carbonara. I can only take light meals. I'll just pick a midnight snack later. Natigilan ako. Nakaramdam ng kakaibang kaba.

Damn.

Excitement?

Para saan?

Para maka log in sa dating site na yon? And what?

To chat with Lean, tila nanunukso ang kabilang bahagi ng utak ko.

I was shocked at the truth.

I am looking forward to chatting with him. I swallowed hard. This is ridiculous.

"You should try to go with us, Carmela is giving weekend off. We will be in Batangas."

Napatingin ako sa kanya at wala sa loob na tumango. That will be great.

It's past 8 ng makauwi ako sa bahay. I have been living alone since I graduated from college. My father and my only brother are living in Baguio. Ayaw din nila na tumira sa akin. They said sanay na sila sa klima sa Baguio. Every chance there is for a holiday, I go home. I missed them a lot.

Agad na sumalubong si Chummy sa akin. I smiled as I scooped my black Persian cat. "Hi pretty girl. How are you?" I asked na para bang naiintindihan niya ako. She purred. I laughed. Agad na pumasok ako at ni lock ang pintuan. I prepared her meal. I do not have any problem with Chummy. She is litter-trained. I go upstairs and have a quick shower. After dressing in a comfortable boxer short and sando, I opened my laptop.

I logged in to the dating site.

I could feel the rush of excitement. He was not online. I felt disappointed. Napatingin ako sa orasan. It's almost 9 pm. I sighed as I pull out from the binder the work that I have to do tonight. Para sa cover ni Ms. Alessa.

He must be dating someone.

Of course.

I tried to ignore the bitterness that I am feeling at this moment. I wanted to laugh.

He is a total stranger.

Ni hindi ko alam kung totoo ang sinasabi niya about himself. I looked at the screen, I found myself looking at his profile. It says he is single.

And he said last night. He is single and ready to mingle. Natawa ako ng marahan. He is such a dork.

Pilit na tinutuon ko na lang atensyon ko sa pag-e-edit ng cover ni Ms. Alessa.
