"Kimche, bili ka na bagong helmet, dami na gasgas nyan!" sabi ni Anne, ung nag-iisang friend ko na may forever. Imagine. 9 years na sila ni Kinno. Dare lang yun nung mga bata sila, then now na college na, pinanindigan parin nila. Going strong pa nga eh!

"Penge pambili, mga 5k, hindi ako bibili ng pipichugin noh!" sabi ko.

"Parehas lang tayo naghihirap. 8pm na hindi ka pa ba uuwe, ung motor mo baka ma-impound hahahaha!" sabi nya.

"Ay leche oo nga noh! Pero sana matandaan mo pangalan na si Jewel un!" sabi ko.

"Eh sino ba naman kasi nagpapangalan sa motor diba! Hahahaha" sabi nya.

"Oy ako lang sa mga babaeng kilala ko pero sa lalaki madaming nagpapangalan sa motor noh. Lock mo na ung pinto at baka gapangin ka ni Kinno." sabi ko.

"Sana nga eh! Hahaha!" sabi nya ng parang tanga.

Lumabas nako at naglakad papasok sa USTe.

I saw my shining, stunning, shimmering "Jewellll!" Napatakbo ako towards her.

"You should act with more grace, Ms. Sy." I heard with a familiar voice. Feeling ko ito ung ungok. Hindi ko pinansin at inopen ko ung box ko para ilagay gamit ko.

I am about to wear my helmet when "Ms. Sy, I will be straight to the point. My car won't start. I have no means to go home. I tried to ride a jeepney, but I think my wallet got snatched. It is no longer in my pocket. My friends are gone. And you are the only acquaintance left. Please do me this one time favor, pwede ba kong makiangkas?" sabi nya.

Oh my God, naaawa ako, pero I don't think I can handle the awkwardness. I don't even know his name!

"Common courtesy pre. I don't even know your name to be called as your acquaintance." Sabi ko sakanya with taas kilay. Kailangan ko maging fierce baka rapist to. Pero poging rapist naman.

"Forgive me for the late introduction. I am Amber De Guzman. Transferee from US. Section 2A, same course as yours, Advertising Arts." Sabi nya. Wow from US. Wow 2nd section for a transferee, may brains sya!

"Okay. Tawag ko sayo ngayon ay Degu. San lugar mo? Nakasakay ka na ba ng motor before?" I hope malapit lang tsaka may experience sya. para di ako mahirapan.

"Novaliches. I will tell you the way once we are moving. Wala ako experience sa motor. May dapat ba ko malaman?" Oh gosh. I am so sad, I need to tell him na kumapit. Pero wait? Car probs? Baka makina? I can check it dala ko toolbox ko.

"Can I check your car first?" Try ko lang baka maayos ko pa.

"Sure. Come. It's parked near the publishing house." Okay, mejo malapit lang. Leggo.

Ayun, natatanaw ko na, nag-iisang nakapark dun na car. I expected something. Pero matte black Toyota Vios 201 3 model lang eh.

"Toyota Vios 2013?" Still need to confirm it.

"Exactly Ms. Sy. I tried to start it numerous times. But I cannot figure out what is wrong."

"Open the hood Degu, checheck ko kung anyare. May dala ka bang tools?"

"Wala eh. I don't have my tools in this car. Coding yung akin kaya itong spare namin ang ginamit."

"You must be rich."

Hahaha yaman siguro nito. Tali ko muna buhok ka tsaka tanggal muna ako ng polo. Nakasando naman ako eh. Mejo mainit to.

Hmmmm. Naku sira pala ung battery nito. Patay na oh.

"Degu, you should change your batteries. It is already dead. So there's no other way around. Just bring a mechanic tomorrow and have them replace it with a new one, okay?"

"Ms. Sy, I hate to say so but you are really awesome."

"Of course I am." Bola ka pa, leche.

"I hate saying this pero kumapit ka. Please do not touch anywhere. Kung san ko nilagay kamay mo dun lang. I will ride as fast as I can para mahatid ka. Okay? Then for you to return the favor, meet me by Tuesday, 9am, McDonalds. Bring yourself wearing your best attire. I need you to help me for something." Yes! Pwede nya ko matulungan sa photoshoot na need ko hahaha!

"Sure! No problem. Thank you. So what do I do now?" I am a little bit nervous waaa. Makapaggear na nga. Helmet done. Gloves done.

"Come on. Ride ka na." He doesn't act like a newbie. He perfectly knows how to ride a motorcycle. I hope he's not playing with me.

"Put your hands around my waist.  Don't ever let go." Somehow, I feel weird saying those lines. I feel so weird as well na may nakayakap sakin.

"Yes ma'am." Wow, di sya takot in fairness.

"Okay. Hindi ako ganun kagaling magmotor pag may angkas. Kaya dont do anything weird. Are you ready?" Sarap humugot. Oo marami akong alam sa katagang pag-ibig. Pero hindi ako eksperto sa relasyon.

"Yes, I am." He's prepared for it. But I'm not ready, yet.
