Fifteen steps from office, i can barely reach my friend’s boarding house. She is my ever dearest and closest friend since i was in second year high school, we often call her Chie.. It was weekday noon when she texted me to visit her coz she wont report for her work that day. That day feels like there’s a magnetic field as i stepped my right foot towards her, know why? It feels like i cant even hardly move my joints in my both feet as i saw the guy in a green shirt with matching pants that fitted his white shoes sitting in their living area as he is staring vertically at their tv watching something that noon time. That was the first time i ever saw a man’s face with a very tame appearance and look, an intact of innocent face, a baby face, a cute, small but rounded eyes that makes it more captivating due to its eyelashes that naturally curled up down to his nose that matches his eye-catching reddish lips. Woh! I was so amazed. I thought he is somewhat –my friend’s new boarder..(heheheh).. My friend asked me to came in. I did. I sat down there beside their guy friend named Joven. Seconds past, Joven introduced me to his friend,and that was Gerro. The ugly thing i did is i answered him “ Yah, He is Gerro and I already knew him” ..then i turned back as if nothing happened. In my mind, i was thinking if that’s okay, i felt myself acted like a rude student in front of a new classmate. I feel sorry for that. My bestfriend and I talked a lot, even nonsense topics, that’s how we talked,sometimes go for nothing to talk to but still keep on talking..(heheheh).. after a while, Gerro asked me about something I didn’t heard, but I keep on saying YES although im not sure with my answer, as he turned his face to talk to me, i was stunned seeing him closely and nearly. “He is so handsome”, in my mind, there, i really don’t understand what he was saying or maybe he was asking.. all i heard, it is all about my agency.. i was focused staring at him. Then a fortuneteller came, He asked that old woman bout what she knew bout him, or bout his future, i heard everything..but i didn’t react as if i heard nothing. Then a sudden, i didn’t notice it’s already 1:45 and i need to get back for work. I told my bestfriend i’ll be back later if im not busy but for that moment, i have to go back to work, then so to Joven too, and also to the man who caught my attention. I don’t know why i felt a sadden feeling as I start walking away to go back to our office. “Bye, I have to go”, that’s all i have said. It was hot in the night still when i remember his face. I asked unconsciously if i will ever see him again. Then i realized, i wasn’t uncommitted. I am already taken, but the worst thing is – we’re not in good terms since a few months ago before he went onboard, i caught him having an undefined affair with someone i used to remind him from entertaining but he doesn’t listen. That time, I told myself, i know my boyfriend is not the right one for me, coz i wont get attracted to others if im still inlove with him. (kakaloka_)... but we(Gerro and I) don’t even have any way of communicating to each other. We don’t even have our cellphone numbers, facebook, skype , etc. How can we contact each other if we want. Foolish brain i have. I told myself to stop thinking about him. I said, and i concluded that we wont be able to see each other again. One week later, my bestfriend texted me around 12 midnight that she wants me to go with her, we’re gonna have some fun outside-a night out for short. I replied that i cant, but she refused and said she will get mad if i wont join them. Them? I asked. Who are the others... I asked her, and she said, Joven, Kuya Hygie and Gerro. My eyes began to expand from ninety degree to three hundred degree. Gerro is coming? No doubt, i replied.. “Okay, Im coming, wait for me, gotta take a bath, give me thirty mins. Pls wait for me there at Mini Stop” , that was our meeting place. After thirty minutes, I fitted my white sleeveless shirt then put my black blazer around it with matching gray pants. I feel like i was jumping out the door as i start to take a joggy walk since i was so excited to see the guy again. I guess, its almost six kilometres away from me I can see a man standing outside the mini store leaning in a pole like metal, beside were my bestfriend, their friend and her cousin. I waved my hand to send a signal that i was already there. She hugged me tight and say “Lets go guys, Riza is here”. We went to Belajo, Malate, watch a live band and have a bucket of palesin if im not getting wrong or a bucket of red horse. I already forgot. Hahha.. Beside me is my bestfriend, towards her is Hygie, and in front of me, there’s the cute guy Gerro( I can perfectly say, he is my ultimate crush hehehhe).. and in the middle of the table is Joven. We enjoyed watching the two girls as they performed the Katy Perry song “The one that got away”.. After that, we went to Padis Point Mabini, just there in Malate, too. They ordered two towers of Zoombie or Margareta I guess, im not hundred percent sure. Since we drunk too much, i felt a little bit tipsy.. all of us.. but i know what’s going on, and what’s happening. One hour later, we occupied the dance floor, we dance and dance and dance. Tiresome. Sweat. Dizziness. Perspiration. Tipsy feelings are all present. We sat down * Me, Chie and Gerro* CHAPTER 2 Staring magnetically to Gerro I sat down in front of him, beside him was my bestfriend. Knowing that they were close friends, and I thought he is still courting my bestfriend as what she have told me before, i teased him with a twinge in my heart “uyyy!! Sweet”, they both glanced at me , my bestfriend answered “ Ndi nuh”. I asked Gerro to give her a buss in her face, and oh my, he really did. So i realized, he really likes my bestfriend.. But the notion that she has her bf onboard, also a seafarer..why she concurred? Oh nevermind Riza May! In my mind, i set it up: Gerro doesn’t like you geek. So stop imagining that he would like someone like you. He likes someone else. See them? They’re sweet. What a grubby mind. My thoughts were full of interrogations. I don’t know if that’s just nothing or with a meaning.. After a while, a romantic song has been played, i asked them to go on the floor and have a sweet and romantic dance even though it’s against my desire. I pushed them both in the middle of the floorboards where lovers and couples were having a passionate dance. “Why did he went away ? Why he left me here? Why he dance with my bestfriend? Silly! ..inutusan mo eh, ano ka ba riza..” stop acting as if you don’t know everything. “(heheheh)”..They dance about 3minutes until the music faded to an end. Joven too dance with Chie so as Kuya Hygie dance with an Indian and Arabian, I guess.(heheheh, enjoy naman sila).. but me? Im not..! why im feeling this way? (Nagseselos ba ako?)Oh my, nevermind again. Okay. Continue this party.. We are here to enjoy , and have some fun. This is what i told myself. It’s almost 5:30 in the morning when we decided to go home. My bestfriend wasn’t feeling well. “Taxi.. Taxi”.. this is what we were shouting outside the Padis Point. “Whoah, thanks! There’s one..”, said Joven. Hygie on the other hand, sat down beside the driver in front. Next then, Gerro entered the hackney cab, then next was Joven, then Chie sat down beside her friend Joven. Oh my dear soul, how about me? “ Where shall I be seated?” I asked my bestfriend. “ I cant clutch you bestfriend”, she answered to me with a woozy look. “ So what are we going to do, should i choose the ceiling of this car? “ , i answered her as i laugh, “I don’t wanna be seated on Joven’s lap either, my dear” i added. I looked at Him( Gerro), “You sit here, Riz”, as he was pointing his two legs’ lap. Joven and Chie stared at him with a questionable look silently as I replied to him , “ Huh? Are you sure? “ , I don’t know what words to be thrown. “Yes”, he replied quickly. I entered the car and I perfectly sat on his lap. That morning, i was a little bit drowning coz of margaretta. Even if it the lights were off inside, i can nakedly see the looks from him as he asked me if “ Are you okay?”. “Yeah, Im fine. Thanks”, i answered. Chie and Joven were both fifty fifty sleepy. But I know they heard us talking. He puts my left hand around his neck and say “IF your head is aching, kindly lean it on my shoulder”. Oh my God!!! (Grabe ito talaga ang part na sobrang kilig ako hahahahaha)..As if my heart would jump out from it’s site. I stared at him stealthily. Goodness, he’s incredibly really cute and handsome. I forgot im still committed.(hehehehe).. So as he wished , i did leaned my head, i wrapped my other hand(my right one ) to reach and meet the other around his neck and locked it. Joven said “Ano yan ha?” , i replied “ Hay ang sarap2 talaga” (hehehhee), i acted like it’s just a joke and no malice for me but deep within me, im feeling bliss. The good thing is my heart was far away from his chest that he couldn’t feel how strong it’s beat everytime I hear his voice.. (hahaha!), i closed my eyes and told him “Ill take a nap, just wake me up if we’re already home, ok?” . he said “Okay”. After five minutes i can feel his hand holding my waist.(para ako kinukuryente hahahah), it feels like, im gonna fall from his lap that’s why he held me there. Im so nervous. Feelings seem so undefined. “His touch was warm, i can hardly feel it”(andon pa rin ang kilig_).. After a while, we reached Chie’s boarding house, she asked me to stay there and sleep with her. I agreed. We went inside her room as if nothing has ever been happened. (Parang ayaw ko pa nga pumasok sa loob e, parang gusto ko pa kausapin si Gerro.heheheh) but i didn’t. Conservative me! So then, we slept together, we slept like we were lovers, hugging, kissing, so tight. It’s 11:30 when we both woke up, i read my mom’s text “Where are you, are u with chie?”, i replied “ Yes Ma, don’t worry i’ll be home later”. I told Chie, i need to go for my mom demanded me to go home. (Where’s Gerro? I cant see him.Paano ako magpapaalam. Hmp! Wala man lang cp num.. nakakahiya naman hingiin kay bff”) so, i went home lonely There, my mom was waiting. She asked me if i had already ate. I said, “not yet mami”. So we eat. Then after that, I sleep again “ The night is over, (Tapos na rin ang kilig), no more next.. i cant see him again.. Stop riza..”, It’s around 3pm when i woke up from a dream. There in my dream, there’s someone who texted me “Wake up! Wake up!” from unregistered number. Kaya nagising ako.. I picked up my phone and oh my there’s an unregistered number saying “Are you up?”.. wow! This is the same in my dream!! But who’s this??? Another someone i don’t even know? Wrong send? But how would he(if he’s a guy)/she(if she’s one of my girl friends) knows that i was sleeping? Im so curious who’s the owner of this number. Am i really dreaming a while ago, or what? I replied “Yes,Im awake, why? May I know who’s this?” i replied. It’s been a couple of minutes ago, but, nobody replied. I decided to text that digits again,”Who’s dis please?”. But no one replied. I dialled the number and click the CALL button.. “ringgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg...ringggggggggggggggggggggggg...ringggggg”, somebody answered “ Hello?”! im stunned!!! “Who’s this?”....I asked sacredly... SINO KAYA ANG NASA KABILANG LINYA?
