"DEAR SANDRO,

I hope this will never get to you. I remember everything now.

You are my good childhood friend of mine.

Nakakalungkot lang na hindi na kita makakamusta tulad ng dati.

From,

Sa babaeng na-inlove sa isang aso rawr. Belle.

"Are you okay, Clarion?" Apollo asked habang nakaharap sa table ko.

"Ha?" Natulala na naman ako.

Si Sandro ang iniisip ko.

Ugh.

Bakit ko ba sya iniisip?

"I was asking if you are okay?"

"Umm.. yeah.. may iniisip lang." I answered.

"Sino?"

"Si San--"

I realized I'm about to say something.

His face looked confused habang nakatingin sa akin.

"Si Zack-- I'm worried about him. Hindi nya ako masyadong pinapansin this past few days." I said.

Tiningnan naman namin si Zack na busy sa trabaho nya.

"Yeah.. he's been acting weird." Apollo said.

"Anyways, I was wondering if hindi ka busy mamaya, maybe we can have dinner?"

"Ha? Um.. - -" I was about to answer when Sandro suddenly walked inside the office.

"Good Morning, Mr. Marcos." Sir Brian greeted him.

"Hello.. How are you." He answered habang nakangiti.

Tumayo naman kaming tatlo to greet him.

"Good Morning, Sir" Sabay namin bati sa kanya.

He just smiled at us.

"Umm Clarion? Go inside my office." Sir Brian said and I nodded.

Agad naman akong sumunod sa kanila.

"So how can we help you today, Sir?" Sir Brian asked Sandro.

"Well... I just came here to say thank you to, Clarion. Natulungan nya talaga ako sa basher ko na yun." He said smiling at me.

"Thank you, Siir. I was just doing my job." I answered him.

"And you did great." He continued.

"Hindi na manggugulo 'yon bago pa ako ikasal."

Nanlumo naman ako.

"Oh right, congratulations." Nakipagkamay naman si Sir Brian sa kanya.

"Thank you."

"Anyways, I also came here to ask for your help."

"Yes po, anything we can do?"

"I am planning to have my own website na pwede matingnan ng kahit sino? It's like instagram but on a website form."

"Yes of course we can do that. That is Zack's expertise--"

"Can Clarion do it?"

Nagtinginan naman kaming tatlo.

Medyo na-excite ako.

"Yes. Of course she can do it. Right Clarion?" Sir Brian asked.

"Yes sir." I answered cheerfully.

"We can start tomorrow. Pumunta ka lang sa office ni Gov. by 9 in the morning. Okay?"

Sandro told me.

Napangiti naman ako.

Pag-alis nya lumapit naman sa akin si Apollo.

"Umm. So you're working with Sandro again?" He asked.

"Yeah. Medyo excited nga ako kasi first time ko gumawa ng website."

"Isn't that Zack's expertise?"

I looked at Zack na busy pa din.

"He asked for me." I answered Apollo.

"Ah I see, anyways tuloy pa rin ba tayo mamaya?" He asked.

"Yes. Sure." Sagot ko habang nakangiti.

Later that night, nagkita na kami ni Apollo sa isang cafe.

"Hi, you looked comfy?" He asked habang nakatingin sa outfit ko.

I was wearing white string top and black jeans paired with white sandals.

I looked at him and he looked quite formal.

"Yeah, magdidinner lang naman tayo di ba?" I asked him smiling.

After dinner we decided to go sa bar. Chill lang ganern.

Apollo was busy flirting with the bartender habang akong nag-oobserve lang sa mga tao.

Bigla lang nag-iba yung awra ni Apollo since dinner eh.

Hmmm.

"You looked lonely." I looked back and it was Sandro.

Medyo natulala ako habang nagkasalubong ang mga tingin namin.

He smiled at me and I felt my heart skipped a beat.

"Hi." I said.

"Hello.. anong ginagawa mo dito?" He asked me at tumabi sa akin.

"I was just chilling here with Apollo." I said habang tinuro si Apollo na nakikipag-flirt pa din sa bartender.

"Oh. He left you here alone?" He asked me habang nakataas ang kilay.

"Yeah. He likes to flirt." Sagot ko habang umiinom ng beer.

"Eh ikaw? What are you doing here?" Tanong ko naman.

"Well, I saw you and I can't go on without saying hi."

Bakit ba iba 'yong nararamdaman ko sa mga ngiti nya.

"Um.. hi." I answered habang nakangiti.

His face was closer to mine and nanginginig ako.

"Well your date just left." He whispered and I looked back and Apollo was gone.

Luh iniwan nga ako.

"Guess, I am your date now." He whispered again.
