it's already 11pm and nasa bar currently si daniel at kasama niya ngayon si nathan.
"sir! one more bottle please!" sabi ni daniel sa nagseserve dun.
"nathan, do you know what's love?"
"what the fuck hyung? are you drunk?"
"no, i'm not!" actually he is. biruin mo naman, 3 hours na siyang umiinom at nakailang bote ma rin siya. buti nalang at hindi masyadong umiinom si nathan kaya makakauwi pa sa maayos na lagay tong si daniel.
"hay nako. i know you very well. we've been friends for almost 1 year yet sasabihin mo pa rin sakin na hindi ka pa lasing sa lagay na yan? ayos ka lang hyung?"
"ang dami mong sabi nathan!" sigaw ni daniel. "eh pano ba naman kasi! the girl i like is calling you cutie! nagseselos ako!" dagdag ni daniel and he pouted
"si eliana?"
"yes! i'm cuter naman you eh!"
"shut your mouth hyung. for now, i'm cuter than you dahil tinatawag akong cutie ng gusto mo. bleh" asar ni nathan sakanya.
"shut your mouth hyung blah blah blah" daniel imitated nathan. halatang lasing na siya. "eliana naman kasi! di ako pinapansin! tas nung nakausap ko siya nun. nung nagexchange tayo ng numbers, parang di niya ako naalala! naiinis ako! tangina!"
"hyung manahimik ka nga. wala ka sa pilipinas. don't make a scene here" paalala sakanya ni nathan.
"give me your phone!" nathan handed his phone to daniel. and it seems like may hinahanap si daniel sa contacts ni nathan.
"since she's not answering my calls. i'll call her using your phone" he said then he called eliana.
"hello cutie? what do you need? it's already 11:30 ah"
"anong cutie?! don't call him like that! it's making me jealous!"
"who are you?"
"alam kong kilala mo ko. so don't ask me. shh ka muna. i need to tell you something"."i really really really like you"
"are you singing?"
"argh! it's true! don't consider it as a joke!"."i really liked you since the first time we met. love at first sight ba?"
"shut it. i don't believe to such things"
"nung iniwan mo ko nun? oo nasaktan ako. pero hindi yun yung magpapatigil sakin kakahabol sayo" tuloy ni daniel
"but you stopped chatting me" eliana said while daniel is telling her those.
"yes i know. i stopped because i know that it makes you uncomfortable. i don't want to be selfish. i don't want you to feel that way. and do you think na yung pag-alis mo sa pilipinas is going to make me stop liking you? no! never!"
"what now?"
"so eliana, don't do things like this. don't do things para lang mawala feelings ko sayo. because instead na mawala to, i am liking you more! no, it makes me fall in love with you more!"
"you've got to be kidding me"
"no, i'm not kidding"
"how can you say so? you're even drunk as of now"
"kahit di ako lasing, ito pa rin yung nararamdaman ko"
"do you have anything else to say?"
"can i actually say this?"
hindi na kumibo si eliana kaya nagsalita na si daniel
"wag kang gagawa ng kahit ano na ikakaselos ko. don't call nathan a 'cutie' and kindly blindfold that riro's eyes"
"why?"
"because he kept staring at you at that photoshoot"
"oh shut up. did you actually think na he's staring at me? and also walang tayo so i can do things with my own freedom. you don't have the rights"
"if that's the case? at oo, walang tayo. kasi kung magpapatuloy kang maging ganon, i'll make you mine no matter what"
