Kung ano naman ang pakay nya, hindi maganda. He was asking me out on a date. Good thing na hindi ako nagrereply.
RODNEY: Wensh, can I talk to you?
Nakatalikod ako kay Rodney at nakaharap kay Bryan. I glared at Bryan and pinched him on the leg as if to say na 'talk important matters to me!!!'. But he did nothing. Humarap ako kay Rodney and smiled - of course, fake lang.
WENSH: What about? May ginagawa kasi ako eh. (pretends to do something)
RODNEY: Let's have lunch.
Hinawakan nya yung kamay ko at kinaladkad - okay, exaggerated - ako palabas. Nagpupumiglas naman ako sa grip nya sa kamay ko.
WENSH: Uy, wait lang naman. Bitawan mo ko.
RODNEY: Bibitawan kita kung sasama ka sakin.
WENSH: Fine. Lunch lang.
RODNEY: Fine. (binitawan si Wensh)
WENSH: Ouch. Sakit nun ha.
RODNEY: Sorry.
WENSH: You could've asked me nicely, alam mo yun.
RODNEY: I asked you nicely a while ago. You rejected me.
WENSH: Eh iba naman yung hinihiling mo kanina. Gusto mong mag-date tayo at ayaw ko.
RODNEY: That's what we'll do later.
WENSH: Hoy! Hindi ito date. Lunch lang as co-workers or friends. Not a date.
RODNEY: Whatever you say. (smirks) Get in the car.
I get in his car and fastened my seatbelt. While he's driving, hinahalungkat ko naman yung drawer sa dashboard. Hindi naman nya ko sinasaway so okay lang.
RODNEY: Do you have a plus one for the wedding?
WENSH: What wedding?
RODNEY: Yung wedding nina Kevin at Loren.
WENSH: Pano mo nalaman yun?
RODNEY: Team mate ko si Kevin, di ba?
WENSH: Ah ... ah, oo nga pala. Nakalimutan ko na eh. Sorry.
RODNEY: So?
WENSH: Hindi pwede si Bryan. So, wala akong plus one.
RODNEY: I could be your date.
WENSH: You could be ...
RODNEY: Talaga?! ^^
WENSH: ... but I don't want you to be.
RODNEY: (sigh) When will you say yes to me?
WENSH: Probably, never.
He pulled the car over then tinitigan nya ko. Normal reaction, syempre, sobrang kinabahan ako. But if ever he pulled an unlikely stunt, tatandaan ko na lang yung mga tinuro sakin ni Bryan way back when it was my first day in Canada.
Kick him in the groin.
Poke his eyes.
Punch his nose.
Okay! Good recall, Wensh.
RODNEY: Wala akong masamang balak sayo.
WENSH: Bakit ka tumigil ng pagdadrive?
RODNEY: Because you don't get it.
WENSH: Ang alin?
RODNEY: I like you, Wensh. I liked you a lot since college. Ngayon na may chance na ako -
