Chapter 5

"I asked.."

"Who?" tanong ko sa kaniya dahil ang tagal niya makasagot.

"I asked Lius" he finally answered.

Parang nabunutan naman ako ng karayom sa dibdib dahil sa sagot niya.

"Mabuti naman, dahil si Lius lang ang nagsabi sa'yo, at akala ko kung sino na." I told him. "The next time you want to know about me, just ask me. 'Di naman ako nangangagat." I laughed in a gleeful way.

"Okay, Boss." We laughed.

Buti naman dahil hindi kung saan-saan napunta ang usapan namin at hindi naging negative.

"By the way" I said. "Next time na magpapatulong ka sa mga tropa mo habang kausap ako, sana yung hindi naman halata." I jokingly said.

Totoo naman kasi na masyado silang halata.

"Yeah, hindi lang talaga marunong." he said.

May narinig naman akong mga sampal sa kabilang linya at parang pinagtripan ng isa si Mateus. Hindi ko na narinig ang isa niyang tropa, o baka akala ko dalawa ang kasama niya at isa lang talaga? Whatever.

"So, ano? What's the plan?" I asked him para naman matapos na 'to, dahil mag-iisang oras na kaming nag-uusap and it's already 5pm.

"Tell me your exact address, and I will fetch you. 9pm is a dangerous hour, payagan mo na'ko." pagmamakaawa niya.

Gosh, how can I say no?

"Sige na nga" I said.

Once in a blue moon lang ako magkaroon ng date kaya siguro hayaan ko nang sunduin ako. At pinsan din naman siya ng dati kong kaibigan, he is a Salvadera. I think I can trust him.

It's already 7:30 in the evening at hindi pa ako nakakapag-ayos para mamaya sa date namin.

Never felt this way after a long years.

Ganito pala ulit ma-excite sa isang date. Genuine excitement.

I sent my address to him already and it's just one click away, nasa waze na ang address ko.

After kong naligo, I curled my hair. Sa ilalim lang ang kulot nito.

I put a matte brick-red lipstick, along with my brown eyebrows. I didn't put any eyeshadow or foundation, just a small amount of a pink kinda orange tone of blush.

Sinuot ko ang aking brown crochet bralette, with my denim loose pants. I will just wear my Alfani beige leather sandal heels. It was my mom's gift for my birthday last year.

I looked at my phone, it's already 8:58pm. Kinuha ko na ang pouch ko at pumunta sa kama para makaupo nang narinig kong may bumubusina sa labas ng bahay.

Buti na lang at wala pa si Mom at Dad. At hindi nila maririnig ang ingay ng busina.

Tumingin ako mula sa veranda ng kwarto ko, at nakita ang isang Porsche Taycan na sasakyan. I know that model dahil 'yon ang binabalak bilhin ni Dad kay Ella when she graduates high school.

Buti na lang at nadala ko na last time ang sasakyan ko and it took its maintenance. Sinabi ni Max na sagot na raw niya ang pagpapagawa sa gasgas ng sasakyan ko which is kagagawan niya, but I refused. I didn't let him spend his money to my belongings.
