"So you met someone last night?" My friend Carole said teasingly, emphasizing on that 'someone'.
I didn't really want to feed up her immense need for info, I wanted to feed my daughter. So I shrugged her intriguing questions off and continued on mixing my baby's formula. Adding and leveling one last scoop of powder directly into the bottle before putting the lid on and giving it a shake.
"Hindi mo ako maloloko, bruha ka! You left the bar last night with this man! Tall, dark, and handsome.. ooooh." She said dramatically.
Hindi ko pa rin siya pinapansin at patuloy na inabala ang sarili sa aking anak. My little Donna really liked this new formula I've tried for her. Mapili kasi siya at madalas ay nagkaka-allergic reaction. I pray this one doesn't make her sick so we can stick to it. Pansin ko ang inis sa mukha ng aking nakasunod na kaibigan, atat na atat na makakuha ng chismis mula sa akin!
"Why are you giving me that look?" I asked for the obvious, but still wanting to annoy her more!
"Magkuwento ka kasi, Diana! You rarely ever go out with actual men! Last night was your first in ten months! 'Course, I have to know!" She crossed her arms at me, giving me the attitude.
Rolling my eyes and feeding my child, I was ready to multitask. "Fine. Anong gusto mong malaman?"
Bumalik ang buhay sa kanyang mga mata at tumikhim bago nagsimula. "So.... what's his name?"
I pursed my lips, trying to contain the smile that wished to explode on my face. Gosh, nakakahiya naman ito. Feeling virgin, kinikilig! I tried to rehearse his name in my head and tried my best to sound cool.
"Art... His name is Art."
