Tooot..Tooot.Tooot Hello? That was the very first word I uttered when I answered the phone. It was alreadylate at night kaya nagulat ako nang may tumatawag pa sa cellphone ko.Another unregistered number flashed through the screen.Hindi ko ugaling sumagot ng tawag but I felt the urge to answer the call.Hi. A friendly greet that almost make me smirk. My caller is a girl.Whos this? I coldly asked.Happy valentines day! Instead she greeted as I imagined her smiling ear to ear. Naririnig ko rin sa background ang mga kasama niya.Thanks. Sayo din. I replied.Uhm. Do you have a date? she asked.Naririnig ko ang tawanan ng mga kasamahan niya sa background so I pressed the end call button and turned off my phone. They were teasing me at wala akong panahon sa mga bagay na yan.Pumunta ako sa veranda at tinanaw ang paligid. Its already late but there are still many couples walking at the busy road. Hindi na ako magtataka kung bakit ang su-sweet nilang tignan. Girls have their flowers. It was not an ordinary day. Today,is Valentines day and here I am, alone in my room. But for me, today is just a boring day.I was about to sleep when I noticed my phone. I turned it on and a message suddenly entered.Hi *my name*, good evening. I was really glad when you answered my call kahit sandali lang. Because I know youre not that type. Thank you. Happy valentines day again. Mwah. Haha.That made me smile. This girl is really weird.Its been almost two months and I can seethat theres a big change in my life. Madalas ko ng nakakausap yung caller ko nung Valentines day. Every morning nagpapadala siya ng mga messages and she never fails to make me smile. She got the charm I can say.Sinasagot ko na rin ang tawag niya dahil alam ko naman na hindi ko na kailangang magsalita. Everytime she calls ay mayroonsiya laging pambungad na kanta and I cant deny that I was attracted at her angelic voice.But I was so afraid to start a conversationwith her kaya matapos siyang kumanta aypinapatay ko na rin agad ang tawag. I dont know. I just dont feel like talking. Just a little conversation is enough.Believe me, I still dont know her but she knows a lot about me base na rin sa mga text niya. Nalaman ko rin na sa RMTU siya nag-aaral. I want to ask her pero hinayaanko nalang siya. Long time crush niya na daw ako at minsan nagkakasama na daw kami sa isang lugar. Madalas din daw kaming nagkakasalubong sa pathway, sa admin or even sa library. But I never tried to throw a glance at her daw. I mean, how can I? Hindi ako yung lalaking mahilig tumingin sa kung saan-saan.Why, this girl is really getting my attention. Hanggang sa dumating ang time na naging sobrang curious na ako sakanya at nakipagusap na ng matagal. And I easily got comfortable. She really has that soft voice that will make you go loco. Shes a good listener and a good adviser.I tried to ask her again kung sino ba talaga siya pero kahit anong pilit ko ayaw niyang magpakilala. She s afraid daw thatI might not like her. Atleast through the phone daw, she was able to talk to me and freely tell to me that she likes me. Shes afraid to know my reaction when I see her. That perhaps, hindi ko na daw sasagutin ang mga tawag niya pag nalaman ko kung sino siya.I said I will still accept her despite her flaws because I treated her like Ive knownher for so long. Shes like my bestfriend.But suddenly, a month ago, bigla nalang siyang nawala. Kung gaano siya kabilis dumating sa buhay ko, ganun din siya kabilis nawala. No texts. No calls. No noisybrat. Naisip ko, may nasabi ba akong hindimaganda?I waited for her to appear like the old days. I waited for her calls and texts. I waited for her to sing to me again. But none of them happened.I tried to call her pero out of coverage na. Nagpalit na siya ng number. Without informing me. Without a goodbye. And Ive felt cheated just because of that.I was a loner, but when she came, nagbago ang lahat. Pinarealize niya sakin na mas masarap kung may kasama, kung may kakwentuhan at may kadaldalan. Because of her natutunan kong makipagbarkada, natutunan kong ivalue ang pamilya ko, and be happy together with friends.But now, she left me. She left me clueless.Kinwento ko to sa kapatid kong babae. Nang dahil din sakanya kung bakit din kami naging close ng kapatid ko. I narrated everything. Mula sa una hanggang huli. Gusto ko lang may masabihan. Gusto kong iba ang magsabi that Im starting to fall in love with a totally stranger. But instead I heard her say,Ebook lang kuya ah. May nabasa na akong ganyan. Inspired ata yung caller modun.At first, hindi ko siya maintindihan. I dont even know the ebook. Pero may pinabasasiya sakin. Kinaaadikan daw ng mga kabataang babae ang pagbabasa ng mga ganun. Kahit ayoko, binasa ko pa rin yung kwentong yun.And yes she was right.Nainis ako. Pinaglaruan niya lang ba ako? Sinubukan? Is everything in the script?To miss stranger, to my singer and to my Miss Valentine:I know natatandaan mo lahat ng mga nangyari sa sinulat ko. Gustuhin ko mang magalit sayo, I just cant. How can I? I havent seen you in person but I have this feeling that Ive known you forever. You made me whole even just for a while. Youre a part of me.I miss everything about you. Your voice, your laugh, everything.Please. If youre planning to do the same script like in the story, I can be your writer. I will change it. Just dont get yourself away from me.Its my last year here in this university before I graduate. Can I have a gift?Sing infront of me. Right before my eyes. Sincerely,Mr. Rude Mr. Rude Ramonian
