Kumalas lang kami sa pagkakayakap nang may biglang nag-flash na camera. Tita Shanty laughed innocently, "Oops."

"Ma!" Sav stood up straight, "You won't believe this! Ang galing galing!" She even clapped. So cute.

Umayos ako ng upo at tinignan ang masayang si Sav. She cried a little but she managed to keep it cool. Nanlaki ang mata ni Tita Shanty nang marinig mula kay Sav ang nangyari.

"Is it true?" She asked, almost teary-eyed. Inilapag ni Tita ang dala-dalang tray na may dalawang slice ng cake at juice.

I smiled at her and slowly nodded my head, "I just saw the photo."

"Minsan lang mangyari ang ganito!" She beamed and hugged Savanna, "Wow!"

Mom would be so hyped to hear this too. Minsan kasi kapag wala siyang maisip na topic ay naaalala niya 'ang babaeng nakabunggo ko sa airport'. Since, she's a little hopeless romantic, she was hoping I could meet the girl again. Who knows? Baka soulmates pala kayo. I remembered her say when I was ten.

Who could've thought it was Savanna all along?

"She has a huge crush on that boy!" Tita Shanty beamed.

Sav raised a glass of orange juice and made me drink. Imagine, she made me drink! Siya ang nagpainom sa akin. Though I didn't ask her to do that and I'm not really thirsty...but damn, it feels good.

"She also said that." I can't help but grin. Naalala ko ang sinabi kanina ni Sav. I'm her first crush! Oh my gods! Okay, that's so gay. Who cares? I'm too happy tonight.

Sav silently sat beside me. Ininuman niyan din ang kaparehang baso na pinainom niya sa akin kanina. Nangingiti pa siya habang umiinom. Hmm.

"This one is for the books." Natatawang sabi ni Tita Shanty, "Maybe you're really destined to meet each other again and be friends."

Or maybe more than that...like bestfriends? Or even more?

Damn, Cryd. Take it slow.

You like Lady Kiana. Sav likes Dwight. Lady Kiana likes Dwight too. Dwight likes Sav. And no one likes you. Nice.

"I'm so glad for the both of you." Pumalakpak si Tita Shanty, "Baba muna ako. Baka nakakaistorbo ako sa reunion niyong dalawa!"

"Hindi naman po." I lied.

Actually, she's kinda a disturbance. Bitin iyong yakap kanina eh. But of course, I won't say that.

"Ang galing talaga." Sav murmured when her mom got out of the room. Nilapag niya ang baso sa side table at tumingin sa akin na kumikinang pa ang mata, "I want to see your pictures when you were younger."

"Sure, cutie pie." I pinched her cheeks and scanned my phone.

Pumunta ako sa FB app dahil nandoon ang mga pictures ko noong bata. I used to like posting selfies when I was a kid so marami akong maipapakita sa kanya.

"Hala, ang cute mo dati!" She said, tapos hinahampas ang braso ko. Hinayaan ko nalang. Kapag daw kasi kinikilig ang babae, nanghahampas ng braso. Siguro kinikilig siya ngayon. I'm her first crush, anyways.

I grinned. First crush ako. First crush! Walang makakatalo sa first.

"Favorite mo si Incredible Hulk?" She asked tapos zinoom in pa ang picture ko na naka-costume na parang kay Hulk, "Cute cute naman!"
