Chapter 14

"Asan tayo pupunta?" I looked at Zak as I asked him that question.

"We are going on a date." Maikling sagot nito na ikinaismid ko.

"I know that we're going on a date. What I'm asking is, where are we going?" I rolled my eyes in annoyance. He's getting into my nerves.

Paano ba naman, I was peacefully eating the bagoong that Manang Hera gave me when he suddenly texted me that his on his way. Biglaan, syempe nagmadali akong maghanda. I didn't even get permission from Ate Kisha, I ran towards the door after preparing.

"You'll know once we get there." Dahil sa sagot niya ay napasimangot ako. This is driving me crazy! Yung curiosity ko mismo papatay sa akin.

"Whatever." Sagot ko na lamang sa sinabi niya. Paki ko kung saan kami pupunta!

He turned the radio on, hindi na kasi ako nagsalita pa. My eyes widen when my favorite song is currently playing on the radio.

"I'm findin' ways to articulate the feelin' I'm goin' through. I just can't say I don't love you. 'Cause I love you, yeah." Pagsabay ko sa kanta.

"You know that song?" Tanong ni Zak ngunit ang paningin niya ay nasa kalsada.

"Of course! Sino namang hindi nakakaalam sa kanta ni The Weeknd and fyi, it's one of my favorite songs," I laughed, kitang kita ang mapuputi kong ngipin.

Napansin ko sa gilid ng aking mata ang palihim na pag-sulyap niya sa akin.

"May sasabihin ka?" Tanong ko sa kanya.

He didn't say anything, kaya hindi ko na lang siya pinansin. I continue jamming with the songs playing on the radio hanggang sa makarating kami sa destination namin.

"We traveled for one hour just to go here?" Napangiwi ako habang nakatingin sa stall na malapit. I removed the black glasses that I was wearing earlier and placed it back in my cute size shoulder bag.

He calls this date? Inilibot ko ang paningin sa buong paligid. There were stalls all over the place.

May popcorn stall, burger stall, and other foods na makikita mo lang kahit saan. They were all present in this place.

"D-Dito tayo magda-date?" Nakangiwing tanong ko habang tinitingnan ang mga taong bumibili sa kada stall.

"Yes, do you have any problem?" He asked, nakatingin siya sa akin na may mapaglarong ngiti sa mga labi. His hands were in his pants' pockets.

Sayang naman porma ko! I even wear one of my favorite clothes, this is so disappointing. I am wearing a cream crop top paired with nude cargo pants

Pinagmasdan ko siya ng maigi. He was wearing a black T-shirt, na pinatungan niya ng puting jacket na may mga bulsa sa ibabang bahagi ang pambabang damit naman niya ay isang black trousers.

I tried to smile sincerely, but I couldn't because of my true reaction to his chosen place- it's just not my type kaya ang naibigay kong ngiti ay peke.

"O-Of course." Pagsang-ayon ko habang tumatawa pa kunyari tuwang-tuwa.

"Good to know, then." He chuckled and started walking towards a near stall.

I took a deep breath. "I can do this, don't get your kaarteness to win."

"Hey! Wait for me!" I yelled, at naglakad patungo kay Zak na ngayon ay may nabili ng pagkain.

Nang makarating ako sa tabi niya ay pinagmasdan ko siyang kainin ang parang flattened balls. Isinawsaw niya ito sa maanghang na sawsawan.

"Ano 'yan?" Tanong ko habang nakatingin sa kinakain niya.
