Double Kill with this Love

August 13, 2019 Tuesday

We go out from office around 9:10PM. I was kinda expecting to see her. Elevator stop at their floor. My friends from my previous department showed up instead. I'm still happy because it's been a long time since I went home with them. We stopped by at an ATM. My other friend need to withdraw some cash. I was half sitting in a waiting area talking with my other colleagues. I saw someone familiar. It was her. Then her. I said "huy mandaluyong ka? Sabay na ko". She said "Tara na". I followed her. Then the other her saw me walking fast by them. I smiled. Then we were walking alongside with each other. I was teasing the other her since she called earlier that day and there's something funny in her name on the phone. 

Before the other her went to the other side, she said something. "Uyy (her-yung kasabay ko), sama ko sayo". The odd part there is she was looking at me. I don't know but it put a smile on my face when I hear that. 

So the first her and I have the same way home. Kahiya pa kasi kulang binigay ko bayad namen sa bus. But it made her laugh. Really hard. She was teasing me. Lakas mangiliti kala mo di ako kinikilig. Then we have to go to overpass to cross to the other side. I said "dito ka sa kabila (the one near the stair handle)". Pasikat lang. Then she ask "bakit dito ako?!" "Para madali kita itulak dyan" I said then I laugh. Lakas din ng tawa nya with matching hampas. "Baliw ka". 

She talks about her family. Some small details but big steps for me to know her. Yieee. Putek. 

I asked her "San ka ba dito?" Medyo malapit na kasi siya. I was leading on sa paglalakad. She pointed the place. "Dyan, dyan." I keep on walking. "Ayiee ihahatid nya ko" she's teasing me. I just laugh. "Hala hindi ah". "Hatid mo ko sakayan" Ako naman nang asar. Balik naman siya. Then I laugh again. "De joke lang, sige na." I continued walking without looking back. I was not able to see her. 

That's the only mistake I made. I did not look back. But nevertheless, walang paglagyan ngiti ko ngayong gabi

Still

July 4, 2018

I can still remember what I wore that day. Pink long sleeves. It was my birthday. I was asked to submit a report to someone from your group. We had a nice short chitchat. You said your greetings and with a tune. You gave me a piece of chocolate. When I was about to leave, you said "bakit ka nakapink?! Dapat red. Birthday mo e". "Pink is the new birthday suit". That's what I said then I smiled and you smiled back. Back to my station, I called you. We talked for more than an hour. We talked about random things. How Vice Ganda made you laugh. You even tried to mimic him with your voice. You talked about your love life. Yeah, that's fine. We're friends. That's what I want to think that time. We still are. 

Then suddenly, after a few months, you've mentioned that you're going to resign. Need to take of yourself and the family. February. Second week I think. It was your last day. I was trying to convince you to stay. To drop by to our office the Saturday after your last day cause I'll be there. But you've made your decision. We've talked for an hour again. Wishing you good luck and happiness. I wasn't ready to say goodbye but I have to go early that day. I still misses you. I hope you're doing fine with your family. Nevertheless, I always treat you as a friend.
