Sabi nila, love at first sight is a myth. Pero anong tawag mo sa ganito?
It all started sa isang random morning habang stress na stress sa buhay. Late na naman ang disney princess niyo.
Ang jeep puno at ang tanging pag-asa lang sa mundo ay ang isan...

Zhan Atienza never thought he would fall in love sa loob ng isang pampasaherong jeep. Pero ganyan talaga ang buhay unpredictable, minsan masakit, pero madalas nakakakilig… lalo na kung gwapo yung katabi mo.
For the past few weeks, hindi lang once, twice, or thrice, more like every day sila nagkakasabay ng isang pogi sa jeep.
Tall, neat, mabango kahit mainit, well-dressed, rich kid na napadpad sa public transpo.
One time, napatingin si Zhan sa ID na nakasabit sa uniform nito.
Yibo Delatandre
He studies sa private na college near Zhan’s university and ever since nalaman ni Zhan ang pangalan ni pogi, mas naging strategic siya sa pagsakay ng jeep.
Step 1: Alamin ang exact time na sumasakay si Yibo. Step 2: Siguraduhin na makakasabay siya. Step 3: Stealthily glance at him.
Nagkakatitigan naman sila minsan pero hanggang dun lang.
It was a normal afternoon, mainit at siksikan ang jeep.
"Bayad po! Paki-abot!" -Zhan, at syempre may nag-abot naman, si Yibo. Sinadya niya 'yan, buti nalang mahaba ang kamay niya para sumakto kay Yibo.
"Thanks." Zhan mumbled pero feeling niya yung “Thanks” na yun is equivalent sa isang buong love confession.
Tapos biglang bumaba si Yibo.
Wala man lang good bye kiss, charot!
Few days later, sa mall na tambayan ng mga students, may nangyari na naman.
Zhan was with his friends and boom!
YIBO DELATANDRE, IN THE FLESH
With his own group of friends. Naka-white shirt, loose jeans, at sneakers na halatang branded. Walang kupas ang aura ng isang rich, cold, but effortlessly handsome guy. Ang oa pero totoo naman.
Yibo turned his head and…
Nagkatinginan sila.
Patay. Dead. Deceased. RIP, ZHAN ATIENZA.
"Hoy, nakatingin siya sayo!" bulong ng kaibigan niya, si Janah, knows ng mga friends niya na crush na crush niya si Yibo since palagi nilang inistalk fb niya. Stalker yarn?
"Hindi kaya, tumitingin lang siya sa paligid!" depensa niya, kahit siya mismo hindi sure.
Pero eto ang mas nakakakaba...
Bakit parang lumalapit si YIBO?!?!???
"Excuse me," Yibo said, direkta kay Zhan.
Nagpanic si Zhan internally.
DI PA SIYA READY! HINDI NIYA PA NAIISIP ANG FIRST LINE NA SASABIHIN KAPAG NAG-USAP SILA!
"Uh... yes?" sagot niya, pretending to be normal.
Then Yibo lifted his hand… and held out something.
YES, I DO, FATHER!!
Xiao Zhan's wallet
AYY
"uh… nahulog mo sa jeep kanina." Wang Yibo said casually.
AY ANAK KA NI JOSIE!!!
Hindi niya alam kung mas nakakahiya na nalaman ni Yibo na burara siya o mas nakakakilig na napansin siya ni Yibo enough para pulutin ang wallet niya at isauli ito personally.
PERSONALLY??? KAPAL NG MUKHA, DI BA PWEDENG COINCIDENCE LANG NA NANDITO RIN SIYA??
OO NA, SELF! SHUT UP NA POTANGINA KA
"Holy—" bulong ng kaibigan niya.
"Lintek, ito na yun, this is fate."
Zhan is still flustered but trying to stay cool, "oh, uh, thanks... akala ko nawala na siya forever, buti nalang bumalik ka."
Wang Yibo raised a brow, obviously confused sa last part ng sinabi niya but instead of questioning it, he just nodded. "Yeah. Ingat next time."
AMPOGI NG BOSES, POTANGINA. LORD, SIYA NALANG PLS HUHU,,,
Then, he turned around, walking back to his group.
He was left standing there, holding his wallet like it was the most precious thing in the world. LITERAL
His friend nudged him. "so… ano na status niyo?"
Xiao Zhan took a deep breath, heart still racing.
"married."
and that was how Xiao Zhan’s jeepney crush turned into something much, much bigger.
