Sino ba naman ako, 'di ba?

I laughed as I read their messages. Ang ingay talaga ng mga humanista na 'to! Well, dapat talagang maingay kami.

"'Nak... Aldous is here."

Lumingon ako kay mama saglit saka pumunta sa bintana para silipin. Nasa labas nga siya. Akala ko nasa LA na 'to?

"Kausapin ko lang ma..."

Bumaba ako kahit mabigat pa sa dibdib isipin ang nangyari no'ng nakaraan. Hindi ko nga alam anong sasabihin ko kapag nasa harap ko na siya.

Bumuntong hininga muna ako bago buksan ang gate. As soon as I opened it, he welcomed me with a warm smile. With, a bouquet of paper flowers.

"H-Hi?" Ano ba Berenice, ba't nauutal ka riyan?

"Advance happy birthday! I have a gift for you..."

Parang nothing happened lang? Pero okay lang, ayoko namang sirain 'yong mood niya. At isa pa, na-miss ko 'to.

"Flowers for you...." He cutely said. "Carrot cake, freshly baked. If you want to read a book, I have here for you... Uhm, bracelet, I noticed you only like them instead of necklace. But, here's a rosary. Since I love praying for you every night..."

Oh...

"Ang dami naman..." Nahihirapan na akong bitbitin.

"Sorry." He scratched his neck. "I brought 18 items for your 18th birthday..."

My expression softened. "Aldous..."

"Here, chopsticks for your ramen! Your love eating it right? Phone case, and... pressed flowers."

He also bought a set of make up from a famous brand! Perfume, blanket, and helmet since me and gael liked motor ride. May ube candies, keychains, hair accessories, and...

"Uhm, I think I need to give this na," he let out a cute laugh.

"An account full of poems, for you only."

"I-Im speechless. Thank you, so much. Deserve ko ba 'to lahat?" Halos maiyak na ako sa tuwa.

I laughed to lightened the mood. "Pero, 17 lang 'to lahat ah?"

"Can we go out for a while?" He said so I immediately nodded.
