Second Time Around

Phase Three | The End? :)

 "I want you back Miles" he said in a serious tone.

My heart was pounding off my chest racing faster and faster...

"H-ha?" I said with the only word I could utter.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAH. JOKE! I can't believe you actually fell for that! HAHAHAHAHAH. I would have given anything to see that face again"

"Jerk!"

"Dissapointed?" he grinned

"Tapos ka na bang mangtrip?"

"Ikaw naman eh. Seryoso mo kasi"

"Ako pa ngayon? Eh ikaw nga diyan ang bigla biglang nagtatanong ng nakakakilabot na bagay"

"Kinilig ka naman"

"Mukha mo"

"But you know what? I really do miss you"

"Tara na nga, tumataas ang balahibo ko sayo" sabi ko naman habang itinatago ang ngiti ko.

"Want to go somewhere?" sabi niya habang tumatayo

"Nah. I still had a lot to do, malapit na ang midterms"

"Please? Kahit sandali lang. Just like the old times"

"Fine. I have 30 minutes"

"Ang busy mo naman architect"

"Dapat nga nagtatrabaho ka ng ganitong oras diba engineer?"

"But I chose to be with you" ngumiti siya ng nakakaloko "Two hours"

"45 minutes"

"Grabe. 90 minutes"

"1 hour. Take it or leave it"

"Alright you win"

Naglakad kami papuntang mall, medyo malapit lang kasi siya mula sa pinanggalingan namin.

"Saan tayo pupunta?"

"World of fun!" sagot niya. Pagbigyan na.

Kung iisipin niyo ah, parang si Cai yung tipo ng tao dati na seryosong seryoso, tapos nung naging engineer saka naging isip bata. Some weird kid.

Pumunta agad siya dun sa token booth at bumili ng 30 tokens. Andami naman yata no'n.

"Dito tayo" sabay turo dun sa air hockey.

"Pagnatalo kita ililibre mo 'ko!"

"Fine. Pagnatalo ka, you'll stay for another hour"

"What!? Yoko nga! Ikaw ba gagawa ng trabaho ko?"

"KJ ne 'to"

"Fine. Like you're going to beat me"

"Yabang ah. Pasalamat ka maganda ka"

"Matagal na noh" I said despite my flattery.

Ako yung nasa right side, si Cai naman sa kabila. Naghulog kami ng tokens. The rule is kailangan mong ishoot yung disk sa goal ng kalaban, first three points win.

Pinalo kagad ni Cai yung disk, di pa ko prepared buti na lang napalo ko pabalik. Pinalo niya ulit and shoot! One Point!

Kailangang bumawi. Pinalo ko ng malakas yung disk. Sayang nasambot niya at pinalo pabalik sakin. Shoot ulit. Two points.

He smiled "Looks like you'll be staying for another hour"

Pinalo ko naman kagad yung disk habang di siya nakaconcentrate and one point!
