"Mr. Guevarra! Sandali lang, may itatanong lang kami. It will be short," mabilis na hinarangan ako ng mga reporter na nandito ngayon sa campus.

Since this day is the campus promotion, the school invited some reporters to show our campus.

I only smiled at them. Pero agad na nila akong tinadtad ng mga tanong.

"We have here the top questions asked by your fans on our website, can you give us your answer, Isaac Dryle?"

I nodded.

"Kung isang araw umulan at may nakita kang babaeng walang dalang payong, ano ang unang gagawin mo?"

"I will hold her hand and grab her close to me. Sasamahan ko siyang maghintay hanggang sa tumila ang ulan. I will spend my time with her."

"So girls, you do note this," the reporter happily faced the crowd. "It's better not to bring umbrella!"

All seemed so happy with my answer. This is really your specialty Isaac Dryle Alfonzo Guevarra.

Lihim akong napangiti sa mga reaksyon nila.

"Next. Paano mo maipapakita sa girlfriend mo na siya lang ang para sa'yo?"

"I will look at her all day. Make her smile whenever she's sad. Carry her to bed when she's tired. And all I wanna do is grow old with her."

"Parang kinantahan mo na kami ng 'Grow old with you' niyan, Isaac. Kinilig ako este kami." Komento ni Art na nasa gilid lang. Pasimpleng namamaypay sa sarili niya.

"What will you do if a girl broke her heels in front of you?"

"I will make sure she isn't hurt. Then I will carry her so she won't hurt her feet anymore."

"I cannot! How to unlove you, Isaac? Meron pa bang gamot dito sa puso ko?!"

Hindi na rin mapigilan ng baklang reporter  na magkomento.

"Tsss. You are really indeed a playboy, Isaac." Bulong ni Amanda na nasa katabing upuan ko lang.

"Hindi naman 'yan isang sekreto rito." Kinindatan ko siya bilang ganti sa kanyang papuri.

Parang nasa presscon kami ngayon sa dami ng media at taong nag-aabang. And the reporters continue to question me.

"Lastly, kung may madapang babae sa harapan mo, ano ang unang sasabihin mo?"

Napangiti ako sa huling tanong. It reminded me of someone.

"I didn't know that my mere presence can literally make you fall," I smilingly answered.

Di ko mapigilang mapangiti. It brought back memories. When the day she fell, and how I ended up saying those lines. Parang kinilig ako sa sarili ko. Kung naging babae siguro ako baka nainlove narin ako sa nag-iisang Isaac Dryle Alfonzo Guevarra.

Few years later...

"Bilis mo naman d'yan, Sac. Mahuhuli na tayo. Madamay pa ako sa galit ni Mike."

Sinenyasan ko si Zooey na hayaan ako.

"Mauna ka na. Hahabol na lang ako," matiyaga kong tinutulak ngayon ang bike na nasira ko.
