I finally decided to leave (and yes, iasa sa pagsilip from outside kung sino yung guy na naki-share ng table sakin) since I don't want to be late for my shift tonight. After placing my planner back at my bag, I unplugged my phoned and kept my charger and took my drink and stood up.

"Saglit." The guy said and held my right wrist.

His hand was so cold and I felt how he much he's trembling. I don't want to take a glance of him because I'm currently getting crazy of patching everything up.

Bakit sya pinag uusapan ng mga tao? Kung kilala sya like a celebrity or something, bakit naman nya ako pipigilan umalis? At bakit nya ko nakilala?

I never felt as nervous as this (well, with exception of course when Jeric is around kasi super iba talaga yun, but yeah, what the heck is happening?!) in my entire life - seeing the whole place looking at us as if this was a movie being shot on location.

"Please don't go yet." He said.

My mind started playing tricks the moment I heard his voice again. James Yap? Marc Pingris? No.

I checked my watch swiftly just to keep track of time. Kelangan ko masolusyunan 'tong kalokohang 'to but of course, I should not be late for work.

I took my seat again and yes, tiningnan ko for the first time kung sino yung guy. Hindi ko kasi talaga sya mamukaan using my peripheral vision. He was wearing a cap too so all I see is his jaw line since the whole time he also has his head low.

No. This is freakin' not true.

My world stopped and everything became blurred. How in the world this happened?

I tried to stay as emotion-less as I can be since I don't want to make a scene or drag attention even more.

Pero paano naman ako makikilala nitong taong 'to? We haven't been introduced at all. And he is indeed a superstar. Kaya naman pala kahit guys gustong magpapicture sa kanya but no one got the guts to do it kanina eh.

Kung nahihiya sila sa kanya, ano pa ako? I don't know how to start, how to react, how to even utter any word.

Ano naman kasing sasabihin ko?

Hi. Bakit mo ko kilala?

Uhm, kilala mo ko?

Which I think aren't the best way to start a conversation.

"Nakakahiya nga kasi! Mamaya nalang pag labas nila."

"Tara na."

Then a pair approached the table where we're seated.

"Idol Romeo, papicture naman daw 'tong friend ko. Baka ma-overbreak sya eh. Sorry talaga sa abala." The said.

Hearing his last name is more of feeling a cold bucket of water thrown at me. Terrence Romeo? Yes, did Terrence Romeo just asked me to stay.

BUT WHY.

When we got home, naabutan ko si Shoti na papasok sa room nya. Matutulog na siguro.

"Traffic, Ahia?" He asked after noticing me.

"All day, every day. What do you expect from EDSA?"

"Hindi ako nageexpect eh, so how would I know?" Jeron jokingly answered.

"Crazy." I said and went straight to my room.

"Hey, Ahia. That was a joke. Bakit ang pikon mo na naman? Well, even if you really are, may nangyari ba?" He asked.
