Waterlows Solicitors & Barristers Diary and Directory Set -
It was jazz an ordinary day.
The skies were clear, the birds were chipping. Ang
ganda-ganda ng araw!
Nasa SM ako noon at katatapos ko lang mamili ng
groceries. Timing naman nasa
foodcore si Angel Locsin, nagpro-provoke ng movie nya.
Grabe, andaming fans,
pull-packed talaga! Dahil fans nya rin ako, nakipila
na rin ako.
Then suddenly, out of the loo, may bumulong sa akin ng
: 'Indaaayyyyy. ..'
Huh? It sounded like a familiar sound.. Who can it be
now?
'Dodong!' sigaw ko.
Napalakas yata voice ko. Kasi the other fans turned
their backs to their
behind at napatingin sa amin. Sabi ko 'Sorry, I didn't
mean to be loud and
proud.' Hinawakan na lang ni Dodong ang kamay ko at
lumayo kami from the
crowd.
'Kamusta na Inday? Do you come here open?' tanong nya.
'Bihira lang, Dodong. I'm just droppings by. Ethnic
ang schedule ko eh' sabi
ko.
Memories came flushing in my mind. How can I forget to
remember Dodong? Siya
na may mata ni Piolo, dimple ni Aga, at bigote ni Rex
Cortez. He's every
woman's dreamboat. I was just starting my tour of duty
kay ate noon nang
unang makilala ko si Dodong. Contraction worker siya
sa ginagawang bahay sa
tapat namin. Naging kami for a while then after that
were not an item
anymore.
'Tanghali na Inday. What did you say we have lunch
together?' tanong ni
Dodong.
'I don't mine' sagot ko.
Sa restaurant, nilapitan kaagad kami ng waiter.
'What's your odor sir?' sabi
nung waiter kay Dodong.
'Do you have porkshop?' tanong ni Dodong.
'Yes sir' sabi nito. 'Our porkshop with a resistance
to the teeth of boast
of our chef. Domestic careful selection of pork with
little fat of female
liking is used. The exquisite cooking which repeated
trial and error and was
completed. It also has healthy vegetables with salad
feeling fully' dagdag
pa niya.
'And you mam?' sabay tingin naman sa akin.
Hmmm..mukhang masarap yung porkshop. Pero I'm cutting
down on my carbon kaya
pinigilan ko.
'I'll just have water, thanks. Liquidate diet ako
eh.'sagot ko.
Pagkatapos kumain, nagyaya si Dodong manood ng sine.
Teka teka, this is
going too far. Besides, it's a long, long, way to run.
'Reality chess, Dodong. May asawa na ako, si Jay. As a
mother of fact, I'm
happily married' pagmamalaki ko.
'Di na pwede yung tulad ng dati. Sorry pero I didn't
expect you still have
more feelings than I expected. I don't want you
getting the way. Past is
fast. Therefore, cause and defect.' dagdag ko pa.
Tumahimik sya. Parang may language barrel na namagitan
sa amin. The seconds
that passed seemed like fraternity. Di nagla-on,
nagsalita na rin sya.
'I don't care less!' sigaw ni Dodong.
Shocks, give me a brake! The nerd ng taong ito para
sigawan ako! To think
it's his other woman that caused our separation to
part.
Kinabahan na ako. I felt speedbumps all over my body
and was having panic
attach. Tinalikuran ko siya at nagmadali akong lumakad
palayo. Pero sumunod
pa rin siya like a monkey on my butt. Hanggang sa
makakita ako ng security
guard. Biglang nawala si Dodong.
'Excuse me kuya, pwedeng magtanong?' sabi ko sa mamang
guard.
'Of course miss, I can help you with my pleasure.'
sagot niya.
'Saan po ba ang exit? Could you point me to the right
erection? I got lost
in my eyes.'
'Diretso lang.'sabi niya. 'Then turn right anytime
with care.'
'Thanks for your corporation' sabi ko.
Buti na lang nandun si kuya. Pero saglit lang, I smell
something peachy. As
I turned, nakita ko na namang nakasunod si Dodong!
Delaying static lang pala
kanina ang pag-disappear nya.
'Nyahahaha! You can run but you can hide, Inday. No
matter where you go,
there you are!' pananakot nya.
Oh no, is this the end? This is too much, I feel
degradable. My world
started falling afar.
Then suddenly, Jay come from behind! Dodong was caught
to the act! In the
matter of minute, it's all over. I'm out of arm's way.
'Thanks Jay, my love. But how did you.?' bago pa man
ako matapos, sabi niya:
'I was in the neighborhood. Fans din ako ni Angel eh.
I heard you shout but
at first I didn't give it a thought. Pero nang makita
ko kayong magkahawak
ng holding hands, then I give it a thought. I know
something is a missed.'
From then on, Dodong did not brother me again. In
fact, he didn't even
sister me. As in platonic at wala na talaga.
Pero kami ni Jay, heto, shoot sailing pa rin ang
relationship. Lalo pa
ngayon, open na kami sa isa't-isa at walang
exhibitions. I feel I'm on cloud
line.
