Mula ng dumating ako galing Province, parang mas naging mas malapit kami. And this time, I knew and sure na something is going on between us. Na it isn't just me. And he's single, and I'm single, no walang problema. And most importantly, masaya kami.
"Uuwi ako ng province"
Bungad ni mama, pagkauwi ko galing work.
"Ha? Why?"
"This is very important, Nana. This is about our business. Kailangan ako dun."
"Can I come with you?"
"No. May work ka dba?" My mom with her suspicious stare.
"Gusto ko lang umuwi and chill. I can file for a five day leave naman e"
"Okay. Ikaw bahala.
I immediately filed for leave and flew to province with my mom. Thinking baka ito na yun, this is our chance, baka naman this time pwede na dba. Sana naman kasi ang mahal ng ticket. Charot.
Second night, when I told him na I'm home.
"Saan ka ngayon?" he asked.
"Bahay. Lakas ng ulan no."
"yes. I''m within your area actually."
"I want to see you. I want to talk to you. In person." All I wanted was to see him, talk to him and confirm my theory. I was thinking kasi na baka gusto ko lang yung idea na gusto ko sya kasi masarap syang kausap, magaan, matalino.
"Okay. Puntahan kita."
This is it. Pero everytime na ittry nyang lumabas umuulan. Three attempts.
"last na, pag lumabas ka pa na umulan ulit, baka ayaw talaga ni destiny na magkita tayo."
"Sige. Baka ganun talaga."
Last attempt, despite the heavy rain I saw him in front of my house. Dripping wet with his law book in his left hand and his motorcycle key on the other.
Jad. Standing infront of me, braved the heavy rain just to be here. We challenged the destiny. At that moment, I knew, I was falling, deeply and madly.
I didn't know what to say. I was in my purple pajama and pink oversized shirt with my hair undone and bare face. But he didn't care and said "you look cute".
I blushed. I freaking blushed because he thought that I was cute in my pajamas.
"Hello" the first word that came out from my mouth.
We talked.
We talked about life. Law school. His life. My life. Everything.
We talked like theres no tomorrow.
Like we never had the chance to talked.
I like his eyes, it sparkled when he laughed.
I like his voice, its very sweet yet manly.
I like his lips, it is pouty and speaks with wit.
I like him.
Until we noticed that it was about four in the morning, and it already stopped raining.
That night was the most memorable nights in my life.
I cant stop myself. I can't stop myself anymore.
I am falling. Really hard.
