I was in our coffee shop kasi kadarating lang namin galing sa U.S. I take my phone out of my bag and plugged my earphone. I'm scrolling at my Playlist and tap the song I choose.

Now Playing: Wildest Dream by Taylor Swift

"Say you'll remember me

Standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset babe

Red lips and rosy cheeks

Say you'll see me again even if just in your wildest dreams"

I was sitting at one of the table when someone who looks familiar to me enter at the coffee shop. "Oh My Gosh! It's Nathan" I was a bit shock because it's been 6 long years since we last saw each other and I can still feel the pain from the past. And when he laid his eyes on me shock was evident in his face too. I immediately took my eyes off him hoping he wont recognize me. I'm acting like I don't see him and pretending that I'm busy tapping my phone. But to my surprise he tap my shoulder . I have no choice but to turn around and face him.

"Hi Cassy, How are you?" he asked me "oh, I'm okay heto still breathing" then I laughed but I'm trembling at pinagpapawisan na ang kamay ko. " You've changed a lot. You're so beautiful. And your smile still the same " ....."Ikaw talaga bolero! pero salamat sa papuri. Ikaw nga itong malaki ang pinagbago . Kumusta ka na?" he smiled at me " May nagbago ba sa akin?? parang wala naman ah Okay lang din ako" then he laughed . I stared at him and "Yes! He looks manlier now even with his simple v-neck shirt, ripped pants, rubber shoes and rayban aviator shades."

We're looking at each other when he ask me "Bakit ngayon lang kita ulit nakita? I smiled at him and ask "Bakit mo naman ako tinatanong kung bakit ngayon mo lang ako ulit nakita ? " .."Oh, I'm your regular customer here. Palagi akong pumupunta dito para mag relax" habang nagsasalita siya tinitignan ko siya and he still has the same effect on me. I thought I forgot everything about him but I was so wrong. "talaga?? hindi na kasi ako gaanong pumupunta dito" .

Ngumiti siya sa akin at tinanong niya "Would you mind if you join me?" ... "No, Sure" tinawag ko yung isang crew namin and ask her to prepare my favorite Macchiato and Blueberry Cheese Cake "Ikaw anong gusto mo ?" tanong ko sa kanya " Give me Frappe and BlackForest Cake please. Ako na ang magbabayad I'll treat you" sabi ko huwag na niyang bayaran but he insisted .

Maya maya dumating na yung order namin at nag umpisa na kaming kumain. Katahimikan ang pumagitan sa aming dalawa. Patingin- tingin lang ako sa kanya. And on my peripheral version I caught him staring at me too. " So what makes you busy?" I asked him as I break the silence. Actually I know everything about him because we're friends in Facebook, I follow him on Twitter and Instagram. In short ini stalk ko siya. But I pretend that I don't know anything about him.

"Eto dancer, singer and model at the same time. Actually kadarating ko lang galing ako sa France to shoot for a magazine" .. "Wow! That's great" I said and smiled sweetly. "Ikaw ano naman pinagkaka abalahan mo?' he asked me "Well, actually I just arrived this morning from
U.S.A. I'm a dancer, photographer, and a blogger" bigla siyang natahimik then nagsalita siya " So, tinuloy mo pala talaga yung pangarap mo, natin sa isa't-isa?" . Natahimik ako at nagulat sa sinabi niya.

Nataranta ako dahil hindi ko alam ang isasagot ko. So I decided to excuse myself "I'm sorry but I have to go" akmang tatayo ako ng bigla niyang hawakan ang kamay ko para pigilan ako. "Cassy" he whispered but I took his hands off me and walked away. Dumiretso ako sa kotse ko at hindi ko na napigilan ang luha kong kanina ko pa pinipigilan na pumatak. Nung sinabi niya yun parang bumalik lahat ng sakit na naramdaman ko 6 years ago. Yung sakit na akala ko naibaon ko na sa limot. Maling mali pala ako. Bigla ko na naman naalala yung mga pangako namin sa isa't-isa na hindi namin natupad dahil niloko niya ako.

"Nasa garden kami ng school magkatabi kami habang magkahawak ang mga kamay namin ng bigla niya akong tanungin." My love, ano ang pangarap mo sa buhay?" bigla ko siyang nilingon at sinagot. "Ano ang pangarap ko sa buhay my love? ... Mmmm... Simple lang gusto kong maging sikat na dancer at photographer" Nangiti siya bigla "Pareho pala tayo ng gusto sa buhay my love eh. Gusto ko rin maging photographer." Ngitian ko siya sabay sabi " Di maganda my love, parang meant to be lang?" Tumawa siya at niyakap ako. "Bakit mo gustong maging photographer my love? tanong niya sa akin. tinitigan ko siya at hinalikan sa noo. "I don't know but I just want to be a photographer, I'm happy taking pictures. Pictures can preserve memories na maaari mong balik-balikan kahit lumipas man ang mahabang panahon". kinuha niya yung cellphone niya at kinunan niya ng litrato yung pagnakaw niya ng halik sa akin sabay sabi "Oh! Ayan my love may masayang alaala na tayong babalikan" hinampas ko siya ng pabiro habang tumatawa " Ikaw talaga my love, ang corny mo" pero sa isip ko masaya ako at kinikilig ako sa sinabi niya. Bigla siyang nagseryoso, humarap siya sa akin at hinawakan ang kamay ko "My love, dapat pagbutihin natin ang pag-aaral natin para matupad natin pareho ang mga pangarap natin. Pagdating ng panahon sikat na tayong dancer at photographer gusto ko magtayo tayo ng Dance at Photo Studio. Wala dapat iwanan my love ha?? Sabay nating tuparin ang mga pangarap natin" nakatitig lang ako sa kanya habang nagsasalita siya. I like the idea of making our dreams come true together. I hope we stay like this forever. He leaned closer to me and kiss my lips. " I love you My Love, Thank You for coming into my life" he whispered to me after we break the kiss."
