Him
“what are you doing now?” she asked
“i’m right by the beach looking at a really nice sunset” I said in reply while sitting on the beach with sand between my toes and my phone near my ear.
“really? I’m looking at a pretty sunset too!” she said in a positive tone
“is that so? Well that’s perfect!”
“how is that perfect?”
“it means we’re looking at the exact same sunset. It doesn’t even feel like i’m far away from you anymore”
“that was so cheesy ravena”
“ganon talaga. I miss you po”
I’m currently in Iloilo right now with my teammates. Flew here to play a couple of games and also bond with the team. We arrived days ago, and today is actually our last night before leave for manila tomorrow. Funny how our stay here was actually less than a week but it sure felt longer than that.
Flashback
“flight number PAL637 to Iloilo is now boarding” one of the flight attendant’s just announced.I grabbed my carry on and fell in line to our assigned gateway which lead to our plane.
“good morning Mr. Ravena” a kind flight attendant greeted. I returned the smile.
“Bro where do you wanna sit?” Thirdy asked while placing his bags on the overhead compartments.
“the usual window seat” I take my seat and buckled my seatbelt. I took my phone out from my pocket and started typing a message
“I texted Mama na we’re inside the plane” Thirdy said
“ah ganon ba? I’ll just text....nevermind” I stop at mid-sentence
“Mika?” he asked teasingly
“....yeah?”
“how was your visit to taft pala?”
Double flashback
I parked my car in greencourt near starbucks. I made my way to archers which was right across. I stood at the steps of the entrance and I placed my jacket’s hood over my head. Not before long, I felt someone poking my waist.
“BOO!”
“ay shet”
“hahahaha did i scare you?” she said while chuckling
“ay hindi. Hindi talaga”
“sorry naman mr. Grumpy”
“i’m not grumpy!!!” I answer defensively
“whatever you say...”
“bully mo talaga”
She had her tongue out and was then followed by a smile and fluttering eyes.
“why are you dressed like that? Kidnaper ba ang peg natin?”
“baka may maka recognize eh. I’m atenean whose basically standing at a lasallian’s territory”
“don’t tell me you actually take the rivalry seriously?”
“syempre hindi! Just taking precaution. You know how alumnis are”
“touché. Oh but kiefer?”
“yeah?”
“maybe next time, try not to wear an atenean jacket”
