"Ah. Can I bring someone? Or some people in para manood sa inyo?" Jessey asked.
"Sure. Its your choice." Ly said and smiled knowing that she used Jessey's words kay Jessey mismo. "May kakilala ka na? Good yan ah. Parang di ka na talaga agad mapapauwi niyan."
"Meron. Medyo madami at magugulo nga lang sila pero okay naman. Mababait." Jessey said.
"San mo nakilala?" Ly asked.
"Diyan lang sa tabi-tabi." Sagot naman ni Jessey.
"Parang ilang beses ka lang lumabas na hindi ako kasama, may mga kaibigan ka na agad. Iba talaga." Ly said na medyo nang-aasar.
"Friendly ako eh." Jessey said.
They reached the laundry shop na. Inayos lang nila yung ila-laundry tas umalis na rin. They'll just go back after ilang hours para kunin yung mga damit nila.
"San mo gusto mag-lunch?" Ly asked.
"Kahit saan. Mousakka lang din naman kakainin natin eh." Jessey said.
Mousakka is a famous dish in Greece. Search niyo na lang if you want. Lol.
"We can eat ibang food naman if you want. Tell me lang kung ano gusto mo." Ly said.
"Adobo gusto ko eh. Meron ba nun dito?" Jessey asked.
"Uwi ka, sa Pilipinas meron." Ly said and chuckled. "We can cook adobo if you want. You pala. Pwede ka magluto. Bili akong chicken."
"Eh, bahala na later. Mousakka na lang, nag-crave din ako for that eh." Jessey said.
"Fine. Mousakka it is." Ly said. She held Jessey's hand and they went to nearby restaurant that serves the dish.
While eating, may pailan-ilan na lumalapit kay Alyssa to take pictures with her. She's really making a name here. She is indeed the market.
"Iba talaga eh. Mula Pilipinas hanggang dito sa Greece, may fans." Jessey said. "Mahirap?"
"Ang?" Ly asked.
"Yung ganyan. Yung laging may nagpapa-picture at may nakakakilala sayo." Jessey answered.
"Tss. You know how it feels." Ly said.
"That's not what I felt. Di naman ako ganun ka-dumog kagaya mo back when I was playing in the UAAP." Jessey said.
"Ganun din naman yun." Ly said.
"Ano nga kasi?" Pangungulit pa rin ni Jessey.
Ly chuckled. She can't really get away with this girl pag nangungulit na siya.
"Well, not that its mahirap naman but sometimes it feels like I can't be myself na. Alam mo yung halos lahat tingin sakin is I'm kind and soft. Parang I can't show who I really am kahit sa games kasi if I do something na opposite of what people think of me, maraming magagalit. Kasi that time, may image pa na I need to protect. Image ko and image ng school, ganun. Pero, I have the right people naman to help me get through all of it." Kwento ni Alyssa.
"Mismo!" Jessey said.
Ly looked around saw na nakatingin sa kanila yung mga katabi nila, "Ingay mo, no." She said. "Anong mismo ka diyan?"
"Sorry." Jessey said. "Mismo. You have the right people with you to get through all of it. Kaya ngayon, sana ma-feel mo rin na you have the right people to be with you through all of this." She smiled.
"And that's you?" Ly asked.
"Pwede. You choose." Jessey answered and smiled.
"Okay. I choose you." Ly said and smiled as well.
